I didn't identify the menu item because the german translation "Abgesetzter Schatten" is unusual, at least I have never read that before. Usually "Schlagschatten" is used. And the default settings were so weird that I didn't recognize it as drop shadow effect :) Cheerz, Lars

Looking for drop shadow filter (0.92.2)
by Lars Behrens 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi all, just wondering if there is a drop shado filter dialog in inkscape? Scrolling through the filter list I didn't find one, only different kinds of shadow filter. Of course I know how to create a drop shadow but repeating it over and over and memorizing the settings is a bit tedious. Cheerz, Lars

SVG Version 1.2 vs 1.1
by Bernhard Kleine 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi, I encounter problems with the Oxygen XML editor due to the fact that the SVG inkscape produces are Version 1.2 which the Batik renderer can not fully parse since it does only use SVG Version 1.1. The easiest way to solve the issue would be to restrict inkscape saving to Version 1.1. How can I achieve this?

Chromatic Aberration Filters Proposal
by Fabien Fellay 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi all, I released some filters that allow emulating a very basic chromatic aberration effect. They are available here with some explanations: < https://inkscape.org/da/~fabien.fellay/%E2%98%85chromatic-aberration-filters > They come with some animated examples as well: < https://inkscape.org/en/~fabien.fellay/%E2%98%85chromatic-aberration-rgb-cm… > < https://inkscape.org/en/~fabien.fellay/%E2%98%85chromatic-aberration-rc-cr-… > < https://inkscape.org/en/~fabien.fellay/%E2%98%85chromatic-aberration-with-r… > I later noticed that Inkscape already has similar filters available in the menu Filters > Color > Nudge RGB/CMY... However, the proposed filters here differ slightly regarding the alpha channel management and they do not flood the background with any color. If one just want to apply quickly a basic chromatic aberration effect, I think those filters may come in handy. In the hope that someone will like them or find them useful. Best regards, Fabien

Reusing similar images/vectors across multiple projects
by Kale Good 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Hello, My use case is this: I want to use inkscape to annotate my pdf music scores. Basically "highlighting" stuff different sections and adding text, etc for performance directions. One thing I'd like to be able to do is quickly and easily add common musical symbols (examples here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font#dynamic-…) (I'm not sure why the heading is "Feta Font" and then it mentions "Emmentaler font"). The example show is already on my system and open-source. I have SVG font files files (which I've never used and aren't showing up in my Character Map software) and .otf (I think; or some other common font format) files. Additionally, I can have the music program export each character/musical symbol as an individual SVG. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to use a character map application. On inspection, that seems to be less than optimal to say the least (the fonts that lilypond uses seem to be spread through about 10 different font files, and may fields are empty. I have a very, very hard time finding them there). It seems like it would be easier to memorize the 30-50 utf encodings + the specific font name (is it emmenalter-15 or emmenalter-16?) than using that. And, obviously that isn't easy. Additionally, some font characters often appear together (for example, the symbol for /forte, f/ often appears with an /m/ in front of it as a modifier), and that just adds some complexity. The other solution I think may be useful for other, more common use-cases; however, I can't seem to find any implementation of it. So, barring some unforeseen solution there, I think the better option is this: to have some sort of "bank" or "library" docked tab that I can add the desired symbols/shapes to. Then I can just drag and drop these into different projects (this would probably involve having lilypond export each desired symbol, opening the resulting SVG file in Inkscape, and copying each vector into the "library"). Does this functionality exist somewhere that I'm just missing?

Hello all, Right after I sent that, I figured out a google search that returned a solution for me. Thanks!
