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

How do I convert 2 parallel and filled lines to one line with thickness?
by Philip May 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Hello, I am new to vector editing software - so I might use the wrong terms. But I hope you understand my question. I have a gif image of a black & white stick figure. I am using inkscape and the tracing tool (Shift+Alt+B) to trace it with default settings. Everything looks fine. Now I want to change the shape of the lines with the "edit path by notes tool" and realise that the tracing tool did not convert the lines of the stick figure to one line with a certin thickness. Instead it converted the lines to two parallel lines that are filled. *My question now is: Is there a tool or something to convert these two parallellines that are filled to one line with a certain thickness?* Thanks, Mike

Follow objects when snapped
by Florian Lindner 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello, I try to translate the Inkscape labels back to English from German, therefore they may not be exactly the same. In Inkscape there are object connectors (Objektverbinder) which can snap to another objects border. Can I set these connectors to stay snapped to the object, even when the object is being moved? Thanks a lot, Florian

FW: adware when downloading Inkscape
by Jake Maier 19 Jul '14

I just remember that I also downloaded 7z to unzip the program. So it also may come from there. Jake From: Jake Maier [mailto:j.m@...3030...] Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2014 9:10 AM To: 'Inkscape User Community' Subject: adware when downloading Inkscape I downloaded the latest Inkscape yesterday and since then I have seemingly a couple of adware programs installed on my system. One of the programs wants to give me free cloud storage, while another load 2 ads each time I open Firefox. Does anyone know if that came from downloading Inkscape or if that was just a coincident Thanks for any info Jake
