Well... navigation. I always liked the navigation in inkscape. I was very much used to it and know it from other programs. The mouse wheel scrolls up and down, when holding ctrl (or is it shift?) left and richt, for alt it is zoom in and out. Now I have been using autoCAD for a while, and while I first was very much annoyed with it's behaviour, I now think it's superior. It's simple... the mousewheel zooms by default. I zoom out turning it towards me and in, rotating it away.
The "wheel scrolls" behavior is the default in most apps, so we should keep it as the default for the sake of familiarity. But providing a different mode as an option is certainly possible. Someone just needs to code this.
It's crutial that it zooms in, right where the cursor points!
Sure. I just don't have a wheel mouse otherwise I would have fixed this long ago.
Also: should I file an RFE?
Please do.
- How do I add a pattern. The only way I have found so far is to import an
image... that is kinda stupid. the pattern dialog has to allow one to import a new pattern.

- Inkscape crashes on me frequently (mostly while trying to copy
objects)... I can't tell the reason, and I don't care too much, since I have wonderful backups. But opening these backups is quite complicated... could inkscape ask, if I want to restore the files, when I restart it?
If you like Inkscape, you must report every reproducible crash you encounter. Take this as your civic duty :) Include a backtrace if you can make it, the file you were editing, and reproducible steps to crash.
- And, of course: How is the progress on text editing? I think text is the
weakest part of inkscape atm.
Working on that.
By the way, Fred, could you enable your typeset code now, creating a new verb and menu command? I would do that but I have very little time for coding these days.
