[Inkscape-devel] tileable patterns

Inkscape is really cool but there's one feature that I'd like to se, either as a plugin or part of inkscape and that is the ability to easily create tileable patterns. Given that svg supports using SVG files as patterns this would be beneficial to plenty of people.

I envisage some kind of tileable mode where anything you move beyond a given side of the document appears automatically on the opposite side. This way you could preview your tile while creating it

Thanks!
