sfd countdown scripting

by Frederic Muller - DFI

hi all! I do remember someone provided a script to automatically generate the xx necessary png out of the svg source file. I didn't pay much attention to it last year as I already did the language I knew and there was a slight bug in rendering. Now doing it for a second year I realize that all the translations need to be redone because the text is 'inside' those PNG files. It would be a lot more efficient to translate once and be able to regenerate those png regardless of the design. So could someone either point me to that script I can't seem to find, or the script author himself so we could try to work out a more efficient solution? Thanks again. Fred

Re: [SFD-discuss] Osmarender layer in the map event

by Frederic Muller - DFI

After a quick check I found out that "osmarender is no longer generally available." so I removed the option.
