How can I save document properties rather than re-do them each time I start inkscape?

Embed objects as links?
by Tim Holy 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

Hi, First, I'm a new and very impressed user of Inkscape. I'm no drawing application expert (far from it), but to me it seems that a lot of careful and creative thinking has gone into designing the user interface, and the result is very enabling. An issue has arisen that I bet has been asked before; if so, my apologies (I did search for it). My daughter and I are are using Inkscape to try drawing a new set of icons for an open-source educational game (Tuxmath). These icons contain a number of distinct objects (penguins, igloos) that can be mixed-and-matched, and the individual ingredients can change (the penguin can flap its wings, part of the igloo can melt, etc.) We're now to the stage where we're trying to combine these ingredients into whole icons; however, we're noticing that as we improve as artists we'd like to, for example, go back and fix up our igloo a bit more---but then we find ourselves making the same changes (or delete, copy, paste) in all the "derived" files that use the igloo + other ingredients. I'd like to find out if there's a way that these improvements can be propagated to all of our combined icons without having to manually copy-and-paste. Basically, is there a way to embed an object as a link? And then have future edits build from there? Thanks for taking the time to read and answer this, and, most importantly, for a terrific application! --Tim

Problems with pdflatex and inkscape
by Julian Hagenauer 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

HI, i created a svg-graphic with inkscape 0.44 (see attachment). I saved it as pdf with transparency. I can view it perfectly with acrobat reader. Than i included the file into a latex-document, which i compiled with pdf-latex. When i reach the site of the resulting document, where the pdf normally shows, acrobat reader says: No resource found. The figure is completly shown, only the text-surrounding boxes are missing... What's wrong? Thank You, Julian

cloned copy fill/stroke
by Jakub Steiner 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

Howdy fellow artists! I've been unsuccessful in something I'd imagine being very common case. I'd like to be able to create editable text with a dropshadow, that would be easily editable. Clones seem an ideal solution for the task. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to change colors of the clone independently from the original. Either I have to keep the original object black (unset property). This works in most cases, as the shadow indeed needs to be black. But I'm unsure if it's safe to depend on 'unset' looking black in other renderers. Cornelius suggested to use the linked offset instead, but that appears to shift the size by default and it's hard to tweak as text usually tends to create very complex paths for interactive scaling. Is there a smarter way way to achieve this? -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac@...469...>

Alt key in tutorial
by Albert Wagner 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I have just installed 0.44 and am progressing through the Help->tutorials. I notice that all references to the Alt key actually require Ctrl+Alt to have the desired effect. e.g. Alt+drag doesn't work, but Ctrl+Alt+drag does. Is this a change in 0.44 that the tutorial has not yet reflected? Or is there some tuning that I have yet to do?

tutorials cleanup: help needed
by bulia byak 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

We have tutorial-calligraphy.pt_BR.svg in share/tutorials, but no corresponding xml file in the doc-docbook module in SVN. Please _everyone_ who has ever translated the tutorials, upload the docbook xml sources to that module, or send them to someone with SVN commit rights asking him to upload it for you. Without that, we can't for example fix the tutorial-calligraphy.pt_BR.svg file which is badly broken. Also, we have much more tutorial translations in SVG than we have HTML tutorials here: http://inkscape.org/doc/index.php. Please remember that if you submit a new translation, you need to generate not only SVG but also HTML (use the make-html script) to be put up on the web site and linked from that page. (Again, if you don't have commit rights for the web site, ask someone to do it for you.) Volunteers are welcome and encouraged to help us sync this all up for the release. Thanks! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
