Preventing patterns from shifting
by Benjamin Esham
Hello all,
I started a drawing on a US Letter–sized canvas; it contains a lot of
objects that use patterns as fills. To share this drawing, I want to crop a
lot of whitespace from the edges. When I do that, however, the positions of
the patterns within the objects all change. Is there any way to "lock"
patterns so that moving the objects doesn't change their appearance?
Thanks for any help,

Strange movement during scaling
by Georg P. Israel
Dear all,
I have trouble with Inkscape while scaling objects or changing the width
of lines.
E.g. if I draw a polygon with the line with width=1, then I can have all
the vertex of the polygon placed nicely on a grid. If I now change the
line width to e.g. 0.5, then suddenly, all the nodes are off grid!!
Does anybody know how to prevent Inkscape from this??
Best regards

Export bitmap function stops at around 900KB, instead of exporting the entire 5MB svg graphic file onto my desktop.
by unknown＠example.com
Anyone know how I can keep the process from stopping when it's only about 20% done?? I have a PowerBook G4 with a 512MB RAM card (original equipment).
I tried upgrading the RAM to 1GB but that didn't work any better.? I want to eventually translate my Inkscape svg file into jpeg format so I can get the thing printed at imagestation.com.

A question about node positioning.
by Alexander Roalter
Hello,
in the past I designed a lot of civic arms using Freehand 9 and MX, and
became quite friendly with it, though I always had to run it in VMware.
I was long since then on the search for a replacement, and years ago
stumbled upon sodipodi and now inkscape.
It fulfills almost all my needs, and far exceeds (in terms of usability
w/ keystrokes, cloning/mirroring etc.) the possibilities I came to use
in Freehand.
One thing though remains, which I'm at a loss in making them work as I
want them to.
a) If I have a path, which is made up of various nodes (as happens with
every shape, say a circle and a square, merged into a
a b

shape. This later is comprised of five nodes (a..e). But if I want to
place them on predefined positions, there's no possibility to do so,
e.g. having Node e on (300, 0).
I can either use the mouse to drag it near this point (but will never
manage to do it exactly), or use the XML editor, in which I don't see
the point (b/c it's such a royal pain searching through it and finding
finally this point. obviously this should then be done for all five points)
I can also use the grid and snap to grid functions, but I don't want to
be limited to only integer numbers, sometimes I want a point to be at
0.155,10.245 (or something else),
So: is there a possibility to enter the coordinates one drags the node
with the mouse (this would certainly also be cool for the handles of nodes)

Using Wacom Graphire 4 in GIMP (Mac OS X/X11)
by Victor Domingos
Hi!
I am testing a Wacom Graphire 4 tablet in my Mac (PPC) and
appearently I can't use its pressure sensitivity in GIMP. Has anyone
managed to use a graphics tablet in GIMP, under Mac OS X? Is X11 for
Mac compatible with this feature? I also tryied in Inkscape, but it
only behaves like a mouse, pointing and clicking, with no pressure
signs... Anyone can help, please?
Thanks,
Victor Domingos
