Inkscape can be extremely frustrating
by K B
All I want to do to begin with is draw a simple Line Circle. (white
background with white inside the circle).
But instead it draws a dashed-rectangle with (4) little squares. Two
squares are on the rectangle and the other two are outside. So, I go into:
Edit, Preferences and the Circle it not even listed under Shapes! Crazy.
Does anybody know what I should do?
Thank you.

organizing external extensions - need a little help
by brynn
Hi Friends,
I'm working on a project to list all the external extensions, on the
same page where I have all the best tutorials listed
(https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php)
I already have a list made -- approx 300 of them. And I've made an
attempt at organizing them. I'm using the current Extensions menu as a starting
place for categories. That seems like the most logical way in which users might
search for them (or expect to find them).
The Render and Export categories have so many that I've made
sub-categories. Plus I made a new one called Animation, which holds both
animation and presentation type of extensions.
But I'm stuck with approx 45 of them which I'm not sure where they would
belong. Plus, I might not have gotten the ones I did organize in the proper
place. Often extensions might fit in more than one category, but usually one is
better than the other.
I wonder if anyone might have some time, to help me out with this? I've
uploaded an ODT file as an attachment in this forum topic (which I've also
requested any forum members who might have time to help).
https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=1261.0
For clarity, these are specifically what I need help with:
-- At the bottom (last 3 pages) is a category called "Unsure". Those are the
ones I need the most help with. Ideally I'd like all of them
categorized....except that there are several extensions I found which don't have
descriptions, and their titles aren't very helpful with knowing what they do
either. So there could realistically be a few left over which can't fit into a
category.
-- There are subcategories in Render and Export called "Other" (among several
other subcats). There should be several extensions from "Other" which can fit
into other subcategories.
-- Generally if you notice any that I put in the wrong place, please move them
to the correct place.
For anyone who can help, please just edit that file, and upload it
somewhere. (The file itself is just my working list. It's not going on the
webpage, so don't worry about the formatting or font. I'll deal with that when
I code the page.)
I really appreciate any help which anyone can offer. And I think it
will benefit the community as well, to have sort of a master list available, so
users don't have to spend so much time searching the internet.
Thank you very much,
brynn

too many e-mails to read
by K B
Thank you for helping me with the problem I had with Inkscape. But I am
just getting too many e-mails from the group than I could ever read. So, I
would like to unsubscribe for now. I can always check the archives when I
have time.
Thank you.

stitch photos?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Is there a way to stitch four photos together with
Inkscape? Well, other than just eyeballing them.
Many thanks,
