Get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library
by E. G. A.
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.

Expand and contract entire document.
by john Culleton
I know that the vector components on an svg page
can be expanded or contracted using Inkscape. But
Suppose I have an Inkscape svg document that I
want to make bigger or smaller to fit a different
page size etc. I there a practical way
to expand/contract the entire document and all its
contents in proportion as well?

How can I snap the rectile (center of rotation) to the node?
by SAITOU Toshihide
How can I snap the rectile (center of rotation) to the node?
When I change the rectile in the selection mode, node is
hidden and not selectable.
I looked for the input box to set the coordinate of rectile,
but it doesn't exist, and also I looked for the context menu
of the node to attach the rectile to this node, but there is
no such menu. So it seems I can't do it.

Problem with Inkscape startup?
by Michael Grosberg
I'm a heavy inkscaper at work and I use it every day. At home, though, not so
much. But I recently had to work for home, so I launched my copy of Inkscape
which turned out to be a rather old one and, to my dismay, noticed that I had
to wait about 10 seconds after the Inkscape window appears before I could do
anything. So, downloaded a fresh copy of 0.91-pre2 and sadly, the same thing.
Here's what I'm seeing:
*Inkscape window appears after a few seconds (maximized). no dockables.
*Nothing happens until I click on the canvas.
*After I click, program seems to halt, window title says "not responding"
*After 10 seconds, dockables appear, program can be used
Now, I'm not seeing this at work. My home system is recent and stronf.
Windows 7, 64bit, 8GB RAM, solid state HD.
so if anything it should be even faster than at work, but something is
stopping it. Did anybody run into a similar problem?
I tried deleting preferences, no change.
Oh, one more thing, might be related: a few icons are showing a "missing file"
icon instead of the normal one. preferences, undo, redo.

bounceback reply
by Brynn
Hi Friends,
I haven't been subscribed to this list for very long. So I don't
understand this. Whenever I post a reply message to this list, there is
always a bounceback reply from marcel.tippmann@...3098... He is
out of office, etc.....
It doesn't seem to happen for anyone else. But aren't we all
sending email to the same address? Why is it only for my messages? If I
was using the wrong address, my message would not show up at all....right?
I usually use Reply All. Maybe this marcel tippmann is in the Bcc?
Maybe? I don't understand.
Thanks for explaining to newbie :-)

Inkscape and Uniconvertor
by Ken Springer
One problem solved, now on to the next. LOL
My friend needs to save an SVG file created in Inkscape in a vector file
format Windows users and software can use. I suggested .wmf, but she
gets an error message that says Uniconvertor failed, with a lot of
errors listing which lines failed. That's my understanding of what failed.
This is the computer...
Windows 7 64 bit 8GB RAM
Inkscape .48.5 R10040
Have I chosen the correct format? Or perhaps enhanced metafile?
I just tried to do the same (Mac OS X Mountain Lion), but the resulting
wmf file did not open correctly in Libre Office Drawing component. I
sent it to my friend and it did not open correctly as a .wmf file, but
the PDF export created on my Mac works fine. Unfortunately, at her end,
it needs to be a vector file, a PDF will not suffice.
We appreciate the help.
