Inkscape 0.93.3 Bug
by Nico Sauter 31 Dec '18

31 Dec '18

Hello, we encountered a bug in the new Inkscape Verion (0.93.3) on our Fedora28 Workstations. Steps to reproduce: - Start Inkscape - Open a new document (Even if Inkscape opens one on defalut) - Write Text - Mark the text from right to left. -> Crash I can reproduce that every time and even with a new installed machine. flatpak installations works. But dnf package seems to be corrupt somehow. Here a few more debug infos: https://pastebin.com/ujHZVR6e I hope thats right here, i noticed that inkscape-tracker seems to be outdated.

Bitmap scan results in layers instead of objects.
by Aditya Sher 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

The *bitmap scan feature * results in layers instead of objects, which leads to low quality conversion at times, is there any ongoing work or beta that supports that feature, I will be glad to help in any way I can to implement it in case its possible to do so. Best, Aditya Sher

Repeated tasks:
by Aditya Sher 25 Dec '18

25 Dec '18

Is there any plugin which will help me achieve repeated tasks? Like: There are 52 files, with exact same layers and all same objects (except top layer). Is there a way to change color of object in lowest layer (for all 52 files) Or delete all objects of a layer and replace them with objects present in same layer of file 1. In case it doesn't exist, how can one look forward to developing such a plugin? Is it feasible? and most importantly do others feel the need or its just me because I am doing a exception case task which will rarely occur? Also as a question, in case such a feature doesn't exist, has anyone else faced a similar problem and wished to eliminate such repeated tasks? Regards, Aditya Sher

Autosave for inkscape
by Aditya Sher 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

I was wondering whether inkscape has autosave, of not I would be willing to work on it, (under a mentor) in upcoming winter break, since I feel autosave is a highly useful feature for vector editors, because we tend to forget to his ctrl+s so often :(
