Re: [Inkscape-docs] bad link in Extension Repository
Hi Maren, Ok, I can do that. There have been more than usual messages (in forum) over the last few months, about extensions that are throwing out traceback messages, or that aren't working.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] bad link in Extension Repository
Uummm I was just checking that the links worked today. A few needed the links to be fixed (3 or 4). And a few with non-working links I left there, because the error was either "can't find the server" or time-outs, which is different from "no such URL on this server". The former (2 or 3) could become resolved on their own, but the latter (1 or 2) I thought were probably dead. But for the other things you asked, I'm going to need a good deal of explaining. What is this about moving the unit conversion functions? What are unit conversion functions? And how will I know that's why an extension doesn't work?

Thank you, Brynn, that's a good idea :D (if you ever encounter one that does no longer work with 0.91 - most probably because of moving the unit conversion functions - could you add that info there and notify either the author, or us?
