Changelogs

3.1 (2023-08-19)

• Support Inkscape 1.3 (fix by Vince Rhee). Inkscape 1.1.1 is still listed as the officially supported version, but hopefully 1.2 and 1.3 will also work now.
• Fix support for 180 degree rotation option (by Leszek Cimała).
• Fix errors with file:// and data: image urls (by Leszek Cimała).
• New options for position and size of inlined images.

3.0 (2021-02-05)

• Support Inkscape 1.0 and later (drops support for older Inkscape versions) (thanks to Jamis Buck and others).
• Proper file dialog for selecting data file to use (thanks to Inkscape 1.0). Having to manually type the full name of the file to use was always a major hurdle for new users, and annoying for all users.
• Folding line in the middle setting (when printing both sides side-by-side) (thanks to Leszek Cimała).
• Registration Mark Distance setting (thanks to Leszek Cimała).
• Text with newlines and inline images now work on all text (thanks again to Leszek Cimała).
• Suffix setting to switch between different layouts and styles, also used to name output layers and files (Leszek Cimała)

• Minor additions to included counter templates.
• Only One of Each option (only include one counter from each data row, ignoring number in first cell). This can be used to get a quicker/smaller overview of all the different counters in a project without repetitions).
• Files beginning with UTF-8 BOM character (that should not exist) no longer crashes the extension.
• Default layout (when there is no cs_layout layer) with One-Sided Sheets enabled (i.e. front and back side-by-side) now correctly fills out only left half of the page.

2.2hex1 (2020-02-23)

• Adds hex tile templates.

2.2 (2020-01-10)

• Split up options in multiple tabs as the list was growing much too long
• Option to include registration marks on both fronts and backs of each sheet
• Spacing setting that can add bleed between counters.
• Optional offset for back layer
• Several bug-fixes for supporting non-ASCII characters etc.

2.1 (2018-07-22)

• Bleed. There is an option to enable it. Requires a change to templates to add what to show in the bleed area.
• Inline images in text: {imagename.png}. Only works in single-line text (not multi-line flowing text that you create by dragging a box with the text-tool).
• Sheet Backgrounds. You can define in layers cs_background_front and cs_background_back anything that should appear on the front and back of all sheets, and special markers %SHEET% and %SHEETS% will be replaced on each sheet.
• Simple text styling. \*bold\* and \/italics\/ in text, just like that.
• Import text from external files. Sometimes the spreadsheet felt a bit messy with long multi-like texts for cards, so now they can instead refer to an external text-file. See Set Text.
• Registration marks have been expanded with lines drawn parallel to the edges of each block of generated counters, on both back and front sheets. This is to make it easier to align front and back sheets. Inspiration taken from this bgg thread: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1943381/method-making-double-sided-counters
• Registration marks can be expanded to also draw lines over the entire sheet instead of just being drawn around the edges. I actually do not think this is a good idea, but still. See Registration Marks.
• One-sided sheets option. Makes the back of each sheet appear on the same layer (and in the same exported PDF and PNG for that layer). The back appear on the same distance from the right edge of the sheet as the corresponding front is distanced from the left edge (so typically keep anything double-sided on the left half of the page when this is enabled). This is a style used for many print’n’play and magazine games that want to keep all game tokens on a single sheet even if they are to be mounted doule-sided.
• All dimensions input in the dialog now are given with any units (like mm or in) instead of being hard-coded.
• Many bug-fixes, new test-cases, improved documentation.
