A bugging issue:
When I use the latest version of Inkscape and KM extension (on Mac or Windows), the resulting GCODE is 'scaled' down to roughly 25% of the original.

Reproduce/Example: The relevant portions of GCODE corresponding to a rectangle 200mm x 100mm, placed at 10,10 on the KM template:
M62 P0 (BURN ON MOVE)
G01 X59.235431 Y31.013208 Z-0.000001 F500.000000
G01 X59.235431 Y2.853455 Z-0.000001
G01 X2.853457 Y2.853455 Z-0.000001
G01 X2.853457 Y31.013208 Z-0.000001
G00 Z0.000001 (LASER OFF)

This GCODE doesn't really look like a 200mm x 100mm rectangle. (Find attached the SVG and GCODE files)

It would be nice if hatch fill retained the same color as the original object so hatches aren't cut by default when selecting power by color.

To help prevent users form impacting the nozzle with their materials, can we have the last gcode in the file to move the carriage to x=0 and y=260 (i.e. the maximum y coordinate). It will make removing material after cutting much easier.

MacOS 15.5.4 (Catalina)
Inkscape 1.0 (4035a4f, 2020-05-01)

Correct location for user extensions were incorrect for me; correct location was:

~/Library/Application\ Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions 

Hello,
Thank you for providing this extension for Inkscape users!

This is just to let you know that most 3rd party Inkscape extensions, like this one, probably will not work with the upcoming new Inkscape version, the long-awaited version 1.0.

Here is the info you need to update this extension, so that it will work with 1.0 and future versions.
https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Updating_your_Extension_for_1.0

If you have further questions, you can contact Inkscape developers via mailing lists, forum, or the chatroom.

If you have already updated it, please disregard this message.

All best,
brynn

I've installed Inkscape on Windows 10, copied and pasted in the palettes and extensions. The extensions show, but the palettes do not. Was there another step to activate or make the palette visible?

I've got a file that I'm trying to cut out. I'm having problems where certain parts of it are being cut two and even three times. Based on how this is behaving on my project, I believe this bug is related to layers.

I've done a lot of work on this file with the tabbed box maker, which seems to make a bunch of layers for me. If I'm cutting out things from different layers, it seems to cut everything in the first layer, then everything in the first and second layer, then everything in the first, second, and third layer, etc.

We maybe have sort of looping issue that's not excluding things correctly? I'm not sure. I tried to dig into the extension to see if I could find something, but I'm just not familiar enough with it to know for sure. I'd need to know a lot more about SVG files to figure out how it's actually looping.

Move installers and README to the root of repo. Move extension related code/files to a directory (say, 'src' or 'extension') in the root.

This way we can keep the source code of the repository separate from the installer. I have created an installer for OS X (KM-Laser-x86_64-OS_X_1.0.app). Currently, I have pushed the this installer to KM-Laser git repo's root.

We can create similar installer (or simpler scripts/batch files) for Windows and generic Linux.

I do not know if its me or what, but I couldn't get the Generate Hatchfill to work on Inkscape version 1
