[Therion] Inkscape import/export plugins

[Footleg]

Looks like I have the old version. I'll download the latest, thanks.

In my case where I have two types of lines in my inkscape file (walls and
survey centrelines) it was very useful to be able to export all lines of a
certain thickness as a specified therion line type. Is there a way to mark
all lines in a selection in inkscape so that the plug-in gets the right type
for them?

Another really useful addition would be the option to automatically join
lines which have end nodes at the same coordinates automatically on export.
My drawing in inkscape has lots of very short line segments and it would be
very handy if these could be exported as longer line objects in the th2
file?

Regards,
Footleg
