Hi, please, you shouldn't focus on gallery or clipart repository for this software in my opinion, a common opensource repository for all programs should be created, something like creative commons.
A common open source repository for clipart would be wonderful.
I think you might have misunderstood the intent - as I mentioned in the original email, I think what we want is for Inkscape to simply specify "here is how to plug in clipart", and then leave it to other users to organize, package, and distribute the SVG collections.
Sorry for that, yes I did misunderstand it.
In the near term, I figure Inkscape can help with some of the packaging and distribution, but long term I hope that the user groups will take this over themselves.
Please see http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ClipartContribution
Instead, I would go for a templates repository for inkscape: cd case vhs case magazine cover lan party banner . . . So a newbie can open it with inkscape, with comments in the regions like: Title goes here. The help tags would have the no print property.
Sounds like a great idea; a collection of templates would be wonderful. Again though, like with clipart I think this is best organized and coordinated by the users and contributors. Inkscape should simply provide the hooks for you to plug these things into.
I also have a feature request: Clone tool. Is it possible with svg? I make an object, clone it (like duplicating) When I change the parent object, all children objects transform into the same object.
This isn't possible currently in the codebase but it has been requested several times previously. Some work has been done along these lines by adding better URI support, so it's hopeful that we'll see this before too long..
Yours: Nestor ps: I am preparing a couple of templates, will you have a Template Repository soon?
Sure, like with clipart, I can give some guidelines for you to create a template collection that'd "plug in" to Inkscape, if you wish to set it up. See:
http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DirectoryReorgProposal http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ClipartContributionCan you set up a wiki page for template contribution and outlining what people can/should do when creating templates?
sure
Can you make inkscape to recognize templates so you are asked to save as under other name instead of modifing the template? (i.e. svt scalable vectors template)
That's not a bad idea, and especially since folks are working on the file management code right now, this is the right time to request this functionality. Ishmal, what do you think?
