cannot save as EPS/PS
by Carlos \"Guâno\" Grohmann 01 Oct '07

Hello all, I am using the latest build (autopackage) in Linux, and I cannot save as PS or EPS. I always get an error msg and Inkscape closes. So far, I've been saving as PDF and then using pdftops, but it was really easier saving directly from Inkscape. Also, when I hit F8, I don't get the text tool, but it tries to open something in the sidebar... thanks Carlos -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Carlos Henrique Grohmann - Guano Visiting Researcher at Kingston University London - UK Geologist M.Sc - Doctorate Student at IGc-USP - Brazil Linux User #89721 - carlos dot grohmann at gmail dot com +-----------------------------------------------------------+ _________________ "Good morning, doctors.

Idiosyncratic mouse behavior in Windows!
by Jim Ford 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I've just installed Inkscape on a Windows XP machine and am having major problems with the mouse. I've tried both the latest distro and the stable one with no difference in behavior. On clicking the mouse pointer on the Inkscape window, the action takes place far to the right of the window, not under the pointer. Not only does this make creating objects difficult, it make selecting them impossible! BTW, I've not found how to make the grid finer than the default 5mm one. Can it be done (like in Xfig)?

Hello Is it possible to have a node that connects three line segments in the same point? Or to attach a line to a specific edge of a rectangle? Thanks, Jos
