Dear all,
On Units: After some digging I found that Inkscape uses a 90dpi setting internally for everything. It finally explains the insane precision to me. Now that's fine with me, but it would be really handy if you could set your own preferences. As a user of metrics it really is mindnumbing to have to work with 3.543307 px per mm. I'd much rather would set that to 10 or 100 for instance so I can more easily work from px units into mm and vice versa. I guess that for those that use their feet to do measurements 90dpi makes more sense though they must have some trouble when it comes to fractions of Inches (what pinky's?). If I want to design something in metrics and I get all those fractioned numbers in my files, it makes it a tad difficult to edit it by hand or script. Especially the latter is rather important for me.
So the question here is,.. is it humanly possible to create a setting of your units and their conversion to px so the whole SVG document starts using those unit settings? If this is set in some script, where can I find the script and wouldn't it be great if that could be turned into a user settings config script that is editable from Inkscape. I'd be happy to make an interface for it as an extension as I think even I could do that with my limited skills in programming. I bet it all comes down to getting Inkscape to recognise these new settings at runtime, but restarting the application after changing the settings might be an option (Alert: restart Inkscape to use your new settings).
I love Inkscape and its functionality for web design, but I think making it more flexible with unit settings might make it really useful for those that want to organise their whole work flow including print with it.
On SVGDOM and Pyhton: Can one access the SVGDOM from python like you do from javascript? Using getAttributeNS etc.? If so, I'd like to try write some extensions.
On the topic of the Inkscape UI re-design: If anything I'd love to see a UI that would be completely configurable like the one in Coreldraw. I also like the Gimp where UI objects and canvas are separated. Though it would be nice if there was some way to set a Z order in those as you often move new windows over UI objects and thus hiding them. Some UI object manager could be useful in that regard. Alternatively I would suggest making the canvas UI have a set position in the window and scale it when you open a docker. Now the part of the drawing get's hidden that often holds the objects you need the docker for, making more clicks. Using the GIMP format it might be possible to dock over the right side of the canvas window edge and like wise for tools to move them to the left side over the windows edge. This should be an OPTION as not everyone has a screen estate of 1920x1600 where this method would really make sense. It would defy some UI design adagia no doubt, but the movements would be a logical extension of the ones you are already making.

- not reproduced on Windows 7, Inkscape 0.48.3.1.
- attached is a png file saved using Export Bitmap.
- just for clarification, is it only the file that has non-Ascii
characters, or do the directories also have non-Ascii characters?

Ahhhh ok, it's true. When we use export bitmap no problem with "?".
Is only when I try use the option "save as" and Cairo PNG when I have that problem.
And your question yes, when the directorie have non-Ascii characters I can't save the file with "save as", but no problem when I use Export Bitmap.
Thanks for everything.
