Welcome Joshua,

Good to have you here.

What would you like to work on first?

Here's the introduction to developing inkscape page: https://inkscape.o rg/en/develop/getting-started/

Best Regards, Martin Owens

Thanks to all.

Welcome Joshua!

I'm not a developer. But I've been thinking of making a feature request where guides would be possible by layers. Do you think that would be possible?

It's just that for some files, I can end up with 50 guides and there's not much ability to manage them. If the guides are attached to layers, they can be hidden when the layer is hidden. And also they would be locked when the layer is locked.

I know there is already a guide-locking feature, but apparently it comes un-locked when the file is closed and re-opened. And I know we can already hide guides. But we can only hide them all at once. Having guides attached to layers would allow some guides to be hidden or locked and others not.

It's just an idea. Thanks for listening :-)

All best, brynn

Thank you Martin. I will like to work over the layers window, implementing some illustartor capabilities like make outline view, only for the layer in use instead of the whole document. And other stuffs that I saw when I use Inkscape.

I think that  is a good function, keep layers attached to layers, and, in each layer, have a control to show/hide guides that be part of the layer. Actually have two objects dialogs (windows): Layers and Windows. Both are almost the same, but Object is more complete. I don't know why are two dialogs like them instead of only one:

I agree. I've looked into the same design problem myself. Cleaning it up would be very useful, but don't let that confusion stop you adding an outline mode.

One thing I'd do, is instead of having little clickable icons in the list, have the buttons as regular buttons in the user interface, maybe need the blend mode and other options. Then have a single status icon which can change depending on the settings.
