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. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +This is not a replacement for saving or Inkscape autosave :) --- |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +-Appears at Extensions>Export |
| 12 | +-After setting the options in the main dialogue, assign a shortcut in Inkscape Edit>Preferences>Interface>Keyboard to: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +org.inkscape.simonh.ink_sync.noprefs |
| 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. |

| 18 | +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. |

| 35 | +Be sure to support his efforts on quick export as InkSync may rely on his technology moving forward. |
