RE: [Inkscape-devel] User Comments?
I do design (mostly for tee shirts), and I love what you have been doing with Inkscape (although I must admit that I am still using Illustrator for most of my work). Anyway, is it appropriate for me to post to this list (not being a developer)? I have plenty of thoughts on the things that are being discussed here and on the wiki, but my programming skills are pretty weak.
You're welcome.
On another issue, I've noticed that making an item insensitive does not prevent it from being selected by a rubberband or a shift-click. Is this the intended behavior, or should I submit a bug?
The sensitive/insensitive property of objects is not actively supported at the moment, because we plan to implement layers instead (a layer can be made invisible and/or insensitive) and then perhaps eliminate the per-object sensitivity. However this bug of yours seems to be easy to fix, so please submit it to the tracker and I'll see to it when I have time.

Thanks to everyone for their responses. I went ahead and submitted a bug, but some good points were brought up about why insensitive is not complete. A user might not realize that they need to use the xml editor to select their insensitive item. It would still be nice if shift-click wouldn't select insensitive items, but maybe it is not the most important thing right now...

I have been looking forward to the layers dialog, but I think it would be a mistake to eliminate per-object properties like sensitivity and opacity. I know that when I've done work in Illustrator I'm constantly using the layers dialog to flip the visibility/sensitivity of not only layers, but also individual items. In fact, I think that the Illustrator layers dialog may be a good model in general for the Inkscape layer dialog.
