delete all guides
by Henning Lorenz 28 Nov '06

Is there a possibility to delete all guides in a drawing with one command? It's rather time-consuming to pull some 50 guides back onto the rulers, one by one. Thanks! Henning

NEW: grow/shrink selection in node tool
by bulia byak 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

* You can grow or shrink node selection by hovering the mouse pointer over a node and using mousewheel (up = grow, down = shrink) or the keys PageUp (grow) and PageDown (shrink). Growing adds the closest unselected node to the selection; shrinking deselects the farthest selected node. There are two modes that differ by how the closest/farthest nodes are chosen: o Spatial selection (Mousewheel, PageUp/PageDown): distances to nodes are measured directly, regardless of which subpath a node belongs to. o Linear selection (Ctrl+Mousewheel, Ctrl+PageUp/Ctrl+PageDown): node distances are measured along the path, and only the nodes belonging to the same subpath as the hovered node are considered (i.e. other subpaths are never selected). This technique is convenient for quickly selecting an area in a complex path starting from a center - for example, for node sculpting. Let me know if you think linear mode will be more often used than spatial - I can swap the shortcuts so that the more common mode can be used without Ctrl. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Activating? Extensions
by Magnus Gunnarsson 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

Dear everybody, I have read about all the wonders that so called extensions can add to Inkscape, but nowhere can I find any descriptions of what extensions are, or how to find/install/activate them. I have downloaded the Mac distribution (0.44), and there is a folder called extensions and a set of files with interesting names, so I think that the extensions are there. However, I see no traces of them in the user interface. What are extensions? What extensions are there? Where can I find them? How do I install/activate/use them? Best regards, MagnusG!

Help Wanted: Testing Autopackages
by Aaron Spike 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

The quality of the Autopackage builds could be greatly increased with more consistent testing. There is a need for volunteers running various distros (Slackware, Suse, Mandrake, Fedora, Debian) and various versions of these distros to work with the autopackager to ensure compatibility throughout the release cycle. This work involves regular downloading and installing of inkscape autopackages (about 10MB), submitting detailed bug reports to the autopackager and testing fixes as they are prepared. Snapshot builds for testing live at: http://inkscape.modevia.com/ap/?C=M;O=D Thanks, Aaron Spike

separate traced objects
by Hago Ziegler 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hallo, I made some designs like this one: http://hagoschaos.de/test/ _W-NJ-07.jpg_ They are A4 or larger. I scanned or fotografed them with high resolution. Now I have PNGs with 300dpi. The one that you can see, is the smallest and simplest. What I'd like to achieve is, to have every little part of the design as a separate object in inkscape. I already imported the files into inkscape and traced them - it gives a good result. But I can't separate the single parts. Is there a way inside inkscape? (I found a way separate the parts it in gimp and trace them separately, but that's a huge lot of stupid work) Regards, Hago

Zooming and shortcuts
by vicarius 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

Hi guys, My zooming numerical shorcuts don't work on my Linux (Novell Desktop Linux 10) 0.44.1 version. The only which works is 5. Others don't do anything, but using the palette icons do work. I have a french keyboard, maybe that's t related? Any hint? Thanks a lot. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Zooming-and-shortcuts-tf2651874.html#a7400039 Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
