Hello Manuel,

If I understand you correctly, what you want to achieve is some kind of
object management tool in which you can select objects by their ID tag and
do things with them, like change attributes or style, rename them, walk
the object tree by expanding it, add events, etc.

If it is anything like the object manager you can find in Coreldraw for
instance I think that would be a great addition. It could also serve as an
alternative display for the XML editor that displays the file structure
and nested objects by tag name rather than ID.

It would be nice if for instance you could select an object (such as a
group) by ID (using a filter for instance with reg exp. or part of the ID
name) and then have them show as selected in the drawing on the canvas. It
would also allow for objects in the defs to be found more easily and maybe
bring them to the body by just dragging them.

It would also make for an interesting option if for instance filters,
gradients and fills in the defs could be displayed in a list with a simple
representation. Using the symbol tool for example code would show how to
create the displays of those. Filters probably being the more difficult as
they won't display anything without a background, so for each of those a
primitive background would need to be defined.

If that could be extended with an option to open an external file next to
it as to drag and drop elements by either <use> or copy to the file being
edited, you'd have created a real power tool.

Or am I now getting too free in my interpretation of what you mean to
create ;-)

Cheers,

Jelle
