Hi all!
First, please slap me if ask something already asked, or already in the soft...
My problem: Sometimes I make pictures or objects, sets, whatever, apart, in their own file, and then I import them in the main picture. When you're importing a SVG file, and you're changing its size, by default you're changing the strokes thickness accordingly . But I have an issue here. I often use the path effect "pattern along a path, stretched" for obvious pencil effects. but when I import the file, the objects with this effect have their "thickness" completely different. That's just ugly. I'd like to have the question/option "object -> path before importing", and choose what type of object I want to transform when importing (if possible). The workaround is obvious: change in paths the objects and save in a new file before importing. But, well... you know... ;-) Also, when I change the size of an object with this effect, I'd like to have its 'thickness' changing in the same proportions too (same demand when importing and resizing). I do know that when I don't have the same proportions in X and Y, it's a problem for the soft to decide what to do, because the thickness of the effect has just one value. But an option "choose the smallest" should be enough to solve the problem.
By the way, something completely different: in the build 10017 for windows, the layer tool is buggy: eyes and padlocks are invisible, you must pass the mouse cursor over to see them, then they vanish again, except if you pass over from the first to the last layer.
Cheers, Teto.

It's exactly that. My bad. Well, I HAVE to look to watch bugs.launchpad better! The importance for these bugs is high: that's good.
Sorry again, Teto.

A workaround I use is to leave the imported svg off canvas then create a clone of it. Scaling the clone then behaves the way you want.
