Re: [Inkscape-user] disappearing files

It could also be something strange with the names of the files? Perhaps
they are hidden from view by explorer? Or perhaps there are strange
characters in the name that prevent them from showing up? Try changing the
"view" of the folder between "list" and "icon" display...?
Try also saving to a different directory like your desktop - i.e. is it all
directories or just that one directory that is having an issue?

disappearing files
by Jake Maier
Hi Everybody
I am relatively inexperienced with inkscape, but so far I find it very
intuitive and love the behavior of the program. I also saw Martin Owens'
video and am very impressed about the ease of use. It is really good as is,
but one additional feature I can think of may be to spread out the elements
to a specified width / height with equal distances between each other as an
optional step after the alignment. But again it is great as is.
I do have one question. I'm not sure if this is specific to my computer, but
when I save a file in svg it does not matter if the plain of the inkscape
version, I don't see the file neither in qgis (where I want to use the file)
nor in explorer or gimp. After I close and reopen inkscape, the file is
there and intact. But still no other program seems to be able to see the
file.
I would be very thankful if someone could please get me on the right track.
Thanks for your time

Jake,
I just realised what you described initially is not what I originally
thought apologies for the confusion!!
As I understand it, you'd like to distribute each object with a specified
width?
I'd have to say, there's been more than once I've actually wanted that
feature too.
I think the only way I can think of doing that right now is to actually
calculate the distances using the xy coordinates and width of the objects -
there might be a script add on somewhere though, perhaps others on the list
know of this feature then..
If any developers are on here listening I bet it would be a pretty simple
feature to add in with the distribute pane though ;)

Hi Jake,
You can actually do this already in the "Align and Distribute pane". The
"Distribute" part will put either an equal distance between objects'
center, between the objects, or between the objects' outer or inner edges.
Select all the objects you want to be distributed and choose one of the
options :) Attached is a screenshot from my inkscape installation. If you
don't have these in the Align and Distribute pane, perhaps your version of
Inkscape is not current :)
In terms of the file not showing up, I'm afraid I've never encountered that
problem so perhaps someone else in the mailing list has..?
