So if you exported some of the objects previously with some resolutions, they will be remembered and reexported with the same resolitions.

I'm trying to drag and drop images from my Finder into my Inkscape page (in Mac X11), and it's not responding. Is this feature not possible yet? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Drag-and-Drop-import-on-Mac-X11--tf3216851.html#a8933… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Three questions
by Nick Tolentino 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Guys, I have two questions that bothers me whenever I'm using Inkscape with bitmap files: 1. Whenever I save Inkscape svg files, the bitmap images ( jpg and png types) are not attached to the said Inkscape svg file. So whenever I move the file to another computer, I still have to bring the bitmap files and create a separate subdirectory. Is there a way to make the bitmap files attached to the Inkscape svg files? 2. I work with maps whenever I'm using Inkscape. Is there a way to provide a proper scaling of the objects? My third question is there anyway to import AutoCAD files (dwg) to Inkscape? Hope to hear from you soon. Nick Tolentino 8-) --------------------------------- Don't pick lemons.

rulers not correct
by Dennis Heuer 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

On my linux platform, with inkscape 0.45 and with cm used as base, the zero position on the horizontal ruler is not exactly at the left edge of the page. The vertical ruler seems to be layed out correctly. The black triangles that are the visible pointers at the current position on the rulers both miss the correct position visibly. Dennis

printing layers as pages of a PDF file?
by Dennis Heuer 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hello I am trying to use inkscape for text layout, which implies that I misuse layers as pages. However, I can only convert the visible space to a PDF file. It would be very helpful if inkscape could learn the concept of a page or if it could convert one page per layer to the PDF file (with possible selection of the to be converted layers). Dennis

INstalling Inkscape on Slackware.
by John R. Culleton 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

I have been going through the usual gyrations trying to get inkscape to compile and run on my Slacware 11 Linux system. It can be done I am told, but I got weary of downloading and recompiling this piece of software and that, mostly libraries. One of them (the Deity knows which one) managed to destroy my font loading system and I had to restart with a fresh partition and fresh install. However I have discovered a shortcut. The Slax selfloading CDR distro has a series of optional modules including Inkscape versions 43, 44 and 44.1. Through a series of steps I was able to create a Slax 5.18 cdr that has Inkscape 44.1 on it. And it works! (With Slax 6 Beta the compression scheme changed so that it did not play nicely with Inkscape.) When I need to use Inkscape I can boot the cdr and use it there. Clumsy, but better than no Inkscape at all. Someday when I have no customers pressing on me I will try once again to go down the frustrating path of installing Inkscape natively. I'll start with a separate clean partition, so I don't destroy anything critical to my day to day work. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

the window refuses to shrink below a certain width
by Dennis Heuer 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

I want my inkscape window to be very small because I just edit something small in it and I want to watch TV in parallel (ok, there are better reasons but I generally cascade the most important windows on my desktop, like the terminal window, which is just below the TV window). The inkscape window refuses to shrink below a certain width. Please overthink this restriction. Dennis

how to duplicate layers?
by Dennis Heuer 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

I found no option to duplicate layers. This can be quite useful to create copies of basic layouts and elements (like page templates with headers and footers). Dennis

layer dialog doesn't support drag&drop
by Dennis Heuer 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

That's it. And, the buttons should be layed out from the left border and not streched over the full range. Dennis
