Comment 3 for bug 167937

Hi all,

Me too, +1 :)

I tried a small workaround with a Python extension for Inkscape (attached) - basically, it should iterate through all elements that have a "class" attribute, and then delete their "style" attribute - which then means, when you change the inline class, you should save and then "Revert" the file to force a refresh ( Inkscape does not seem to have a command that will refresh the file loaded in memory, without closing and reopening the file? )..

Of course, this is not much of a solution if you want to have a base class, and then add additional "overloads" in the style attribute, but for my case it helps :)

Since it was quite difficult to find basic stuff about extension (like proper syntax for iterating and such) I've left plenty of useless comments in .py file :)

PS: Since I have only option for a single attachment with this comment, I'm including the .inx file inline:
