[Therion] Inkscape import/export plugins

[Thomas Holder]

Hi,

I now wrote a short tutorial for the Inkscape import/export plugins on 
the therion wiki:

http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=inkscapeplugins

It does not cover general usage of Inkscape, so you should get familiar 
with it befor trying to edit therion th2 files.

Layers dialog from "Layer > Layers..." menu.

but when reloading the saved file, most point will have a visual symbol.

click twice (not double click, but with a short pause), then the handles 
change to rotation handles.

do you mean vertical text? There is no vertical text concept in therion, 
so it cannot be saved to th2 files. If you mean 90° rotation, this 
should indeed be exported!

Have you selected "All Layers" and checked "Layers as Scraps" on export 
dialog?
