Multiversion Install

Installing multiple versions of Ink/Stitch can become very handy while development.

It will make it easy to run tests and compase versions

To achieve the installation if multiple Ink/Stitch versions the Inkscape menu files need a distinct ID.

Here’s an example of how to use two Ink/Stitch extensions:

install Inkstitch in two different locations (e.g. inkstitch and inkstitch-k)
ensure make inx is executed in both locations (this will generate also inx/locale/ files)
in the second location generate modified inx files: generate-inx-files -a k
install the inx files in Inkscape extensions directory
- symlink .config/inkscape/extensions/inkstitch -> inkstitch
- symlink .config/inkscape/extensions/inkstitch-k -> inkstitch-k
modify .config/inkscape/keys/default.xml if necessary
run Inkscape with both Inkstitch extensions enabled
- first version: Extensions > Ink/Stitch
- second version: Extensions > Ink/Stitch-k
