Setting Inkscape as default SVG editor on Linux
by John Kirkilis 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Greetings, I'm fairly new to Linux, and we're running RHEL in a virtualized environment. After much searching and various attempts, I haven't come across a standard way to specify that Inkscape is the preferred editor for SVG files. I also can't get it to show up as an option in the Open With... context menu choice in Win7 64-bit. Clues? -John

I managed to download an MSWin 7 version of 0.9pre1 but have had no luck with compiling the same version on Slackware Linux. I also have Knoppix and SUSE. Is there a compiled version of pre1 for any Linux distro? Or even pre0? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

The following web page has a feature whereby if the mouse hovers over a thumbnail illustration it expands to a full size representation. when one moves the mouse off the particular illo it reverts to thumbnail again. The function uses a javascript program called: oodomimagerollover.js The web page is: http://wexfordpress.com/illos.html I like to experiment with using svg programs instead of html programs for web pages. Is this thumbnail to full size and back again effect available via Inkscape, either with a hover or a mouse click? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
