Box maker extension for inkscape

[paul Meynell]

Any ideas where I can download the extension?
When I tried the link in the wiki , I get nothing , the same from an external site.

Great got the files and put them in the right place, only bit I'm not sure of is how to make the file Executable

Boxmaker.inx and Boxmaker.py need to be put in the inkscape extensions folder generally in: ...\Inkscape\share\extensions or linux: usr/.../Inkscape/share/extensions (NOTE: you need to make boxmaker.py executable)

If you're using Windows you don't need to make it executable, if you using linux you need to have at least your user set to permission 7 in command line, I think there's a tick box in most GUIs properties windows.

Best guess is that it's a compatibility error ( it could be a dependancy error, but it doesn't read like one. ), it looks like it's expecting some functions in inkscape that either aren't there or have been renamed. All I can suggest doing it checking that your version of inkscape is compitible with the plugin you're running.

As it came from GitHub you could also check to see if other people have had the same issue with it, and if there's a fix for it.
