Recently I've been working on a UI redesign proposal for the Tiled Clones interface, and thought of creating a new page on the Inkscape Wiki to see if it's even plausible.
However, when I tried to upload images, I get: The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver.
A quick search only tells me that it's a permissions problem. I've also noticed that there were no new file uploads since July last year. Has there been a policy change? Any suggestions as to where else to upload them then?
In case anybody's curious, major suggestions are: - On-canvas guides - Separation into Symmetries, Radial Clones, Rectangular tiles and Triangle tiles (basically dependent on the guide type) - Move from a floating box to a side-bar dialogue, where you can basically stack symmetries and tilings to a selected object (like with LPEs, so it's easy if you want to make a flower-shaped design then have it fill up the page as tiles, for example) - Top-level options are simple and intuitive to address the main use cases (I'm assuming most users just want to do some basic symmetrical or radial patterns...) - But more advanced options are available by clicking "advanced" and opening a separate box (to avoid cluttering the main dialogue. If the user wants jittery tiles distributed in an outward spiral that change colors and become transparent near the end, surely he can open an extra dialogue) - Presets are also available
