Sidebar with palettes and dialogs instead of scattered windows?
by Thorsten 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi, I'm almost certain that I'm not the first person to ask/request this, but I'll dare none-the-less: How about having a sidebar in Inkscape in which one can reveal/hide the palettes/dialogs like layers, alignment, color swatches, etc.? I constantly find myself faced with numerous open palettes/dialogs and the F12 key doesn't really cut it for me in that regard. Any comments?

Text to path question

Hi I'm new here so hello. I can't find any posting guidelines, so apologies if I transgress any boundaries. I've looked in the help, the wiki, the faq, and several in the Linux User Group have had a go at this, and we can't work it out. If you download the file here <http://www.johnallsopp.co.uk/logoTest/>*, you'll see I've got text around a circle. The top text is fine, but the bottom text I want to read from left to right. I've tried all types of transformation, I've tried drawing the circle differently. I haven't tried making a separate path with a matching curve, so I suppose that might work but it's a kludge. Is there a proper way to do this or isn't it possible? Thanks in advance. J * just opening it in Firefox shows no text, I had to save it and open it in Inkscape.

Hi there, after some tries, I managed to compile Inkscape 0.441 ;-) But where are these amazing blur-effects ... ?? I can't find them in the fill-dialog (Screenshot: http://www.thomas-zastrow.de/temp/screenshotInkscape.jpg). Or Am I to stupid ..?? Thanks for your help!

Recent Win32 builds?
by Arnout Standaert 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Hello list, I'm just wondering where to find up-to-date Inkscape builds for Windows. There have been a few Windows-specific fixes lately, so I'm curious to see all the new stuff that has been introduced. The last "daily" build I can find via the homepage (http://inkscape.org/download/) dates back to October 25th, and has the recently discussed "freeaddrinfo" crash bug on startup, so it's unusable for me. Any pointers would be much appreciated, Arnout

Bulia? Others? Well, that's a different sense of "registration mark", but in fact I do know a number of folks who would like a crop mark feature. -mental

I tried to read the svg document source but I really do not understand how to read these type of documents.

NEW: display mode toggle and other goodies
by bulia byak 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

* A new menu command (View > Display Mode > Toggle) and a new keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+<keypad 5>) switch the display mode from Normal to Outline and back. * An object with mask and/or clipping path, when viewed in Outline mode, now displays both the object itself and its clipping path and mask as objects, using different outline colors. By default, clippaths use green outlines, and masks use blue. These colors, as well as the colors of the regular object outlines (default black on light background and white on dark background) are now changeable by editing the "wireframecolors" group in the preferences file (~/.inkscape/preferences.xml). * An object with no fill and no stroke, invisible and not selectable by mouse clicking in normal more, can now be picked by a mouse click in the Outline mode using its visible outline. * To cater for specialized uses, such as preparing input for personal media cutters, Inkscape now has an option to start in the Outline mode upon launch. To enable this, add the following line to your preferences.xml file: <group id="startmode" outline="1"/> placing it after the <group id="options"> opening tag. -- bulia byak Inkscape.
