# InkSync
2-
Inkscape extension for file syncing.
2+
An Inkscape extension for file syncing between apps.
3+
4+
Quickly sync Inkscape svg, plain svg, png, pdf and html5 canvas using the overwrite feature.
5+
Inkscape 1.1+ (1.3 tested)
6+
7+
*Featuring* Inklinea's **object to path** code for ultimate compatability.

This is not a replacement for saving or Inkscape autosave :) ---

15+
16+
For shortcut triggered quick export --- Not 100% sure where the PDF and HTML5 settings are pulled from, presume from last used save settings.

These formats should work fine in multiple different apps including Photoshop and Blender.
19+
I'll explain the process in Krita and it will be a very similar process for Photoshop users.
20+
And obviously the lightest and most useful form is SVG.
21+
22+
Syncing an SVG to Krita:
23+
24+
- Be sure to use an svg that has 'text to path' enabled if you have any fancy text with unusual kerning or the like.
25+
- After syncing a file to a directory, in krita, in the drop down next to the new layer button; select 'File layer'.
26+
- Give it a name, direct the file location to your SVG.
27+
- 'No scaling' is fine if you're SVG is already big enough, try the other option for different scales.
28+
- 'Bicupic' scaling can work pretty well but somehow nearest neighbor looks a little more appealing from my tests. (Hit ok)
29+
- To update the svg, simply run the tool again, go to krita and somewhat quickly you'll see the new SVG.

Based on Inklinea's Quick Export extension:

Be sure to support his efforts on quick export as InkSync may rely on his technology moving forward.
