: How can I quickly turn all objects of a layer to independent layers in Inkscape? I have a single layer with many objects on it. I would like to get each one of them in a separate layer

I have a single layer with many objects on it. I would like to get each one of them in a separate layer (in order to run a Processing sketch on them afterwords), how can I achieve it?

From this question I see that in Illustrator there is "Release to layer" function, but apparently there is not something like this in Inkscape. Maybe a Python script is the solution. I don't know how to implement it though.

It's fairly easy... using this extension: inx-toolsanim

Here I have one layer with a few objects (for example):




Go to Extensions > Animation > AnimTools
In the Groups tab, choose 'Wrap each selected object in group':




Which does as it says:




Back in the AnimTools panel, now under the Layers tab choose 'Convert each selected group to layer':




Which gives you as you wish; objects each on their own layer now:



Hope this helps...
