Hi Guys,
Testing this recent build. Inkscape 0.48+devel r11870
Thanks for testing.
So far:
New stuff:
- Love the Symbol manager. It will greatly inprove productivity. I wish
that a similar thing could be done with first level grouped objects and using the same CTRL+select for objects within that. Ehm,.. a small note saying Use CTRL+C to copy might help though, as I tried clicking and dragging first. BTW. If it would follow the rule of always paste in place, it would be a great help in templating designs.
Glad you love it! It would be possible to do with first level grouped objects but I think it might be better to use tagged groups, i.e.:
<g -inkscape-role="symbol">...</g>
or
<g role="inkscape:symbol">...</g>
It would be more natural for the dialog to work with dragging. Perhaps somebody will step up and do it but I don't have time at the moment. As I understand it, all drop and drag is done by writing to an external file and the reading it back in. This should be changed, perhaps a GSOC project?
- The new text edit docker is great! Would have liked to see a list of
fonts used in the document though, so you can more easily select from the fonts already chosen, find out missing fonts etc.. Could that be added to a third tab?
Might be better to add at the top of the font drop-down list with missing fonts grayed out.
Question:
- Does Inkscape already support SVG font display (Tiny, not Full)? I know
Mozilla doesn't support it and probably never will, but I really would love to use them regardless. I have several use cases in mind that are uniquely possible using SVG fonts and don't care if users will have to use "Modern" browsers like ahem.. the rest. Now we can create Glyphs, but I am not sure if it is possible to display them yet.
Not yet. IE also will not implement SVG fonts (since Mozilla won't).
