Working on the Text tool part of the user manual, i've just wondered why this tool has to be set in a separate though it doesn't have any options. Would it not be more useable to put this options in the Option Bar ?
Simply because we haven't had time yet to do this. It's planned.
Tools with no options is a fairly visible gap that users are guaranteed to notice in any release.
Is there a bug report or RFE tracking this issue?
This is one of those things I didn't get around to reporting (spent hours reviewing the toolbars one weekend but never got around to writing up my comments).
In case it might be useful for reference purposes I created a screenshot of the Text Tool Options from Adobe Photoshop http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~horkana/dev/gnome/inkscape/screenshots/referenc...
That directory also contains other photoshop screenshots http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~horkana/dev/gnome/inkscape/screenshots/referenc... in particular the screenshots are of the tool option palette and of the gradient manager.
