Get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library
by E. G. A. 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Just an absolute newbie running Inkscape 0.48.2 in a well working, really beautiful, vintage declared but loved computer (2.1 GHz PowerPC G5 & Mac OS X.5.8). To get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library*, it is needed to be registered at the openclipart.org site and fill up the user account data in the Inkscape Preferences**? * File > Import from Open Clip... ** Import/Export > Open Clip Art Library Username & Password. Thank you. -- Eneko Gotzon Ares

Main Inscape Window Colour Scheme
by unknown＠example.com 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

I have installed the 64-bit version of Inscape for use on Windows 7, but the colour scheme is dark grey, so that the icons do not show up clearly. The 32-bit version has a cyan colour scheme. I cannot see any option in preferences to be able to change the background colour from grey to cyan. Is this possible, or must I install the 32-bit version? I am very impressed with the program, which will be used to prepare drawings for cutting out parts for making model trains and buildings. Mick

Can't ungroup Conditional Group
by Antonio Roberts 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hi, I'm attempting to ungroup this object http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Two-stroke_engine_moving… When I try to do so in Inkscape it identifies the object as having a Conditional Group of 1 Object but then says there are No Groups in the selection when I try to ungroup it. Is this a problem with the file or Inkscape? I'm using Inkscape 0.48+devel+13132+47~ubuntu13.10.1 Antonio -- ============================ antonio@...2662... http://www.hellocatfood.com ============================

by Hadrien Mary 12 Mar '14

Hi, I wonder to know whether a python script editor exists or is planned on a TODO list ? In the meantime do you know where I can find Python API documentation ? (for now I am looking into existing plugins...) Thank you, Best, -- Hadrien Mary Ph.D student in Biology Tournier-Gachet Team CNRS - LBCMCP - UMR 5088 Université de Toulouse - Bât. 4R3B1 118, route de Narbonne - 31062 Toulouse
