Inkscape is supposed to work like this (use Shift to set the stroke). If you feel the other behaviour is better, feel free to try and make the argument (and/or a patch). The main issue is that basically Inkscape really doesn't have any way of selecting stroke and fill separately. The stroke and fill are two properties of a single shape. The gradient editor does handle this a little bit differently, maybe it can inspire you (or anyone else).
I think you misread what user said. He's talking about inkscape trunk where you can activate "temporary" colour picker from within dedicated Fill and Stroke tabs f the same dialogue.
Unfortunately the user did _not_ mention using an unstable development snapshot build of Inkscape on Windows (at least I can't tell that based on the disclosed information «The bug is checked using Windows 7 64 bits and Inkscape 0.48»).
I'm using the stable version 0.48. I'm going to check if this is still present in 0.49 version. Is there any "nightly build" or similar for getting latest inkscape development versions compiled for windows so I don't have to set up all the compiling environment and compile myself to check that ?
I too would expect that activating it from stroke tab assign colour to stroke. Not that I find it hard to hold shift key, but it's just not optimal UI behaviour.
This current (unexpected) behavior of the new 'one-time' color picker called from the button in 'Fill & Stroke' tabs had been reported in the comments of this (otherwise not directly related) feature request:
- Bug #1049481 “Allow dropper tool to edit current custom swatch fill” https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1049481
and (kind of) got stuck there (i.e. not reported as separate item, nor added in the comments of the more relevant original request(s)).
The new 'one-time' color picker feature had originally been implemented based on these requests:
- Bug #239392 “Missing Color Picker in Fill and Stroke Dialog” https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239392
- Bug #171170 “Use color picker to add colors to palette”<> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/171170
So if I understood correctly in the development 0.49 version a colour picker has been added to the fill and stroke paint tabs ? Is the old behaviour of the colour picker in the left panel still working ? Since there are the new colour pickers in the respective tabs that functionality from the left panel color picker should be removed ? I mean, the problem I reported was actually that the color picker in the left panel had a non intuitive for choosing fill and stroke paint colours. There have been added specialized colour pickers for this, so removing that functionality in the left panel one would solve the problem ?
