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

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

How to do this?
by Perry Kappetein 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

I am following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwOYO9cAows and I can't get it to work. As soon as I remove the fill (so it turns blank) and apply a Stroke, I don't get the outline. Idk what I am doing wrong, but I cannot get this to work in 0.9.1 I am trying to put text in a half circle Thanks Perry

Pen, Pencil behavior w/shape option
by Brynn 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hi Friends, I've come across some surprising behavior and I'm not sure if it's intended or not. ("surprising" to me, in my permanent learning mode :-D) When the Shape option is Triangle In or Out, on the Pen/Bezier control bar (Pencil/Freehand tool too) and the mode is set to anything except Spiro Spline, the path automatically has the Power Stroke LPE applied to it. It used to be Pattern Along Path. And when the Shape is set to Ellipse or From Clipboard, it still is PAP. Is this intended? If so, I wonder if "Shape" as the title for that dropdown list should be "Path Effects" or something to indicate that it's much more than just a "shape" that you're about to draw? Thanks for clarification or comments. (I'm on Windows 7, sp1, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (exe).) :-) All best, brynn

Quick Editor Needed
by Martin Owens 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Dear Users, The inkscape website has a news article ready to go live about the hackfest that was developed by Brynn. She's currently taking a break from inkscape web work, but the article is almost finished so I need to ask for a user to step up and help get it over the line. It may just be as simple as reading the text and being happy with what has been written and getting it on the website. But the important part is that it's a user and not a developer. Because we'd like news to be user centric; for and by users and all that. If you're interested in helping out, please email here [on list] and I'll send you the last draft copy. Thanks for helping. Best Regards, Martin Owens
