Add direct control of vinyl cutters to Inkscape
We could utilize usbsnoop:
http://
to log the USB communication between the vinyl cutters and their native software. We could then use this data to write our own cutter control program.
I propose that we only add one menu item or modify an existing one such as DXF export. The menu item could launch a separate dialog with the control options. We don't want to bloat Inkscape for the non-cutter crowd.
