Hi List,
I've been a happy user of Inkscape, and now I needed some tweaks. I attach the patches against the current svn head, and brief description for them:
(1) mutual_hide_on_png_export.patch
This adds a new checkbox to the Export dialog if multiple selection is present. Ticking it hides not only non-selected items, but also other selected items on export, therefore the different items don't iterfere with each other.
(2) xml_editor_jump_to_element_on_layer_select.patch
If a layer is selected in the Layers dialog, the XML editor jumps to the appropriate svg:g element.
(3) add_layer_to_selection.patch
This is kind of work-in-progress. A new two-state column is added to the Layers dialog, which shows if the layer is selected or not, and also on clicking the row icon can add/remove the layer to/from the selection. I mainly use this for sub-layer selection and moving. Possible improvements: - currently the show/hide eye icon is copied - right-align the column (how is this possible in gtk?) - if multiple layers are selected, trying to grab and move them by clicking on an item inside one of the selected layers moves only that layer. Hack: create a dummy layer with a "control" rectangle, select the control-rect, add the layers to the selection using the new icons, and then grab the control rect and move them all.
I hope you find the patches useful and even improve them if required.
BR, Robin
