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

Inkscape svg vs. plain svg.
by john Culleton 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

I know that some features of Inkscape svg go beyond the official svg standard and hence may not be interpreted properly by web browsers etc. Is there a list of these features somewhere? -- 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

Expand and contract entire document.
by john Culleton 13 Sep '14

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? -- 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

How can I snap the rectile (center of rotation) to the node?
by SAITOU Toshihide 11 Sep '14

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. SAITOU Toshihide

Problem with Inkscape startup?
by Michael Grosberg 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

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 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

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 :-) brynn

Inkscape and Uniconvertor
by Ken Springer 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

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.
