Whoops! No, I did not mean to reply to you directly. My apologies.
I understand the point that you have made.
I have been burned by forgetting to embed images in the past. That's mostly my fault for forgetting
(just like forgetting to make my text a path before giving my svg to others). However, if I had an
"up-front" feature somewhere that would help me remember then maybe other users would find it handy too.
I'm no developer nor a bigwig in the community so I wouldn't expect anything that I suggest to go
very far. Thank goodness for that. :)

tracing lines from a bitmap
by Francois du Toit
I want to trace a map from a bitmap, and using the built in tracing
tools I get a reasonable trace. But I was wondering if there isn't a way
to trace bitmap lines not as a path shaped as the outline of the bitmap
lines, but as a single path going through the center of those bitmap
lines. In other words, some kind of line recognition. I tried the edge
detection, but that gives you two lines - not really what is required.
Thanks for any help.

Re: [Inkscape-user] Office vector formats
by Diederik van Lierop
Your options are limited to either emf/wmf or eps, but I've found that eps
produces the best results.... well, at least for _my_ documents that is.

It does for me, using Office 2003 SP2! But I must admit the
aliasing/hinting/whatever is quite bad...

Office vector formats
by Francois du Toit
As a linux user I have little experience with Office vector formats.
Which formats that Inkscape can export works best with Office (2003 or
2007)?

Icons do not show up
by Sridhar M.A.
I installed the development version of inkscape from
http://inkscape.modevia.com/ap/?M=D
The version that I downloaded and installed is
inkscape200711070317.package
When I try to run the program, the inkscape window does not contain any
icons :-( I am attaching a screenshot of the same. It also prints to the
console messages to the effect that it cannot draw the icons. I am also
attaching the log of that.
Can this be fixed locally or do I have to wait till the next version is
released. From the same site, inkscape200710270316.package works well.

CAPS lock problem
by Sridhar M.A.
I am using the development version of inkscape (inkscape200710270316.package).
After I choose to enter text, if I press the Caps lock key, it does not
light up. But, the characters come out in uppercase. Any pointers to
this problem would be helpful.
