0.48.3.1 and 0.48.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 - Node Sculpting Problem
I hope someone can offer me some help. Please let me know if I haven't reported this in the right way or have omitted any info. Thanks in advance!
My problem is that I am unable to sculpt text when using the node tool, as described at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.44#Node_sculpting, and demonstrated in this video tutorial, http://youtu.be/_qqTAjBaeJ0?t=8m20s.
These are the steps I take: 1) Create text with text tool 2) Node Tool 3) Select Text 4) Convert Object to Path 5) Select each path (each letter) - Note: the tutorial above shows that a selection box may be used to select all the paths at once, but this doesn't work for me. Hence, to work around this, I've selected each letter while the Shift key is held. Reasons for this would be welcome also! 6) CTRL+A (to select all nodes in selected path) 7) ALT+drag node - this MOVES all nodes together rather than sculpts them as described in the manual
This is a video I made of the above process: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14392713/temp/inkscape-sculpt-problem4.m kv
I've also worked with a friend using Windows 7, where we have both done the same steps simultaneously. Hers works correctly (except the note mentioned in step 5) and mine does not.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Environment:
Ubuntu 12.04.4 (as per /etc/issue) Inkscape 0.48.4 (see my video below - installed from trunk ppa), but also tested in 0.48.3.1 (from Canonical repo) Default preferences (~/.config/inkscape deleted) System Alt key swapped with Win key (as per http://askubuntu.com/questions/118151/how-do-i-disable-window-move-with-alt- left-mouse-button-in-gnome-shell#272317)
Hi,
It looks like your message got held up somewhere because it just arrived for me yesterday.
Have you changed the "Window Move" shortcut in Ubuntu? By default if you Alt+Click, Ubuntu will want to use that to "grab" a window to move it. If you install "compizconfig-settings-manager" you will just need to change the shortcut for the "Move Window" plugin. I personally recommend just changing the Alt key to the Super key as it makes more sense (Windows Key to move windows). Hopefully that's all the issue was.
Cheers, Josh
