how to save a new color into a swatch?
by Rimu Atkinson
How do I add a color to the "Swatches" panel? I've tried dragging things
in, right-clicking on all sorts of things, using the dropper, etc etc
but it just doesn't want to happen!
Are the swatches just pre-set and unchangeable?
Thanks!
Rimu

Surprising response to a bug
by Abrolag
I've been using Inkscape for along time now - over 2 years - and all my
schematic drawing are now in SVG form. I always work in landscape,
using a template file with a standard frame etc.
When I upgraded my distro to debian lenny, I noticed that it now
carried Inkscape version 0.46. I didn't think a lot about it, although
noticed there were oddities with the new way of setting out grids. This
was a minor nuisance, but was quickly rectified, and the overall
behaviour seemed improved.
It was only recently when I tried to print out one of these files I
realised there was a serious problem. Looking around the 'net I noticed
that a lot of other people had the same issue (can't print landscape).
However, when I went onto the bug tracker to see what was happening, I
was quite astonished to see this had been assigned a low priority.
I don't understand how a printing failure on a graphics package can be
thought of as unimportant. The only practical workaround I can find is
to save these as pdf then use evince to print them. I'm considering
going back to v 0.45 but that will mean re-doing all the grid settings
again.
I fully support the work being done on inkscape and have been singing
it's praises to anyone who'll listen, but I really hope this gets
sorted out sooner rather than later.

svn-19741 node tool crash
by Docsonic
I just updated svn to 19741 and it has an odd crash situation -
If I open a document or create new and add objects, I can manipulate the
objects with either the select tool or the node tool with no problems.
However, if I convert any object to a path and select the path with the node
tool, Inkscape crashes as soon as I click on the path.
I also tried drawing a rectangle, converting to a path and selecting with
the select tool. Then I chose the node tool so that the path nodes are
displayed and I tried rubberbanding 2 of the nodes. The moment I let go of
the mouse button, Inkscape crashes.
This is in WinXP SP2
Thanks,
Tony

Re: [Inkscape-user] Removing part of the line that defines arectangle
by Jon Bertrand
Draw rectangle,
"Object to path"
Click a side of the rectangle
"insert new nodes"
"insert new nodes"
position as needed,
"split path between nodes"
Or
Draw a rectangle,
draw a shape that defines the chunk of the wall to be missing,
"Path/Difference"
then edit path by nodes,
then split path,
then delete nodes as needed.

Thanks, Aaron. Your first method works if one wants to remove the
entire line. But imagine that one wants to remove only a little bit of
the line (not the entire line). Can it be done without the Bezier
tool?

file format for printing
by Julie
Hi,
I apologize for asking what I'm sure is an incredibly basic question, but
internet answers seem to be too technical for my understanding or
non-existant.
I don't know which file format I should use in order to send an inkscape
generated document off for printing. The file that I'm working with is a
fairly simple 8.5 x 11" document. In the past I'd saved a similar document
as a pdf to send to the printers, but this time it doesn't seem to be
appearing exactly as shown in my inkscape file. Do I need to download Cairo
to fix this? I went to that site but felt fairly confused by the array of
available options. Is pdf even the best option for printing? Could someone
shed some light on this for me?
Thanks so much.

Inkscape stuff imported into blender (images)
by Elwin Estle
This first thing involves taking a square in Inkscape and then using some text and the boolean functions to "cut" the text out of the square, i.e. to create a text shaped hole.
This was then imported into Blender and a light with the halo option turned on was animated behind the object, pointed toward the camera.
http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/4851/halotextvx4.gif
This was done by using the gear script, then using various boolean operations to add the letters and the connections between the letters and the gears. The whole shebang was imported into Blender, the "gear train" was broken up into individual gears, extruded and animated (ambient occlusion used for the lighting.)
