"Fit page to selection", maintaining grid?
by Eric Jonas 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hello! Is it possible to have the new "Fit Page To Selection" feature maintain the relative grid placement of the objects? I use inkscape exclusively for technical illustration and proper grid placement is really important for my diagrams. At the moment (0.44) the grid seems to be anchored in the lower-left-hand corner of the page, and "fit page to selection" appears to move the bounding box of the selected items such that the bounding-box lower right corner is coincident with the page lower-right-corner, and then crop the excess page. If there's some simple way of getting around this, I'd love to hear it. I've now made over 300 diagrams in inkscape, and it's just been a wonderful experience. Thanks! ...Eric

Display problems in Firefox and conversion problems in Acrobat
by Wolfgang 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hi, I've some problems with a inkscape graphics. I've running 0.44 on winXP. Inkscape displays the graphic as I want. Firefox crashes on the svg completely ("The memory could not be read"). I've also exported that graphic as pdf but but Acrobat reader 7.0 crashes as well ( a number value is out of range). Here are both files: https://perswww.kuleuven.ac.be/~u0049353/svg/map.svg https://perswww.kuleuven.ac.be/~u0049353/svg/map.pdf I hope anyone can me to find out whats going wrong! Thanks Wolfgang

inkscape .44 paths problems
by stuseven 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

+ several new features in the Inkscape .44 seem not to be working for me ? The two I was experimenting with were in the new paths submenu... ...one of these "flatten bezier"... the other one was "add nodes"... both of these seem to be asking for an object converted to a path. So, I used Object to Path for a bezier curve, and a straight line... now, supposedly, I have two paths to work with... but I cannot flatten the bezier... and cannot add nodes to the straight line... not by clicking on them... not by selecting them, and clicking the function... after a while, I gave up :-) How does one work with these new functions ? Possibly, they are just on the menu, but not working yet ? Thanks to anyone who has used these... first time with .44 for me. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/inkscape-.44--paths-problems-tf1977909.html#a5426759 Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com.

autopackage - libcairo again
by Abrolag 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

I just tried inkscape200607170320.package but still get the message : error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. This has so far made it impossible for me to look at V.44 which is most frustrating :( -- W J G

Hi! Why does Inkscape use style attributes (CSS) instead of presentation attributes (SVG)? Is there a way to use the presentation attributes with Inkscape? Bye, Dennis

I want to edit picture that I just traced, but I can't because everithing is together. I tried to ungroup, but it says that there is nothing grouped :-(. What can I do to select/edit parts of traced image, not just scale/rotate whole picture? Thanx in advance Mitakataka ----------------------------- Спортни залагания! bg.sportingbet.com

Is this where I send wishes?
by Mark Healey 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

I installed Inkscape and have been playing with it for a while and love it but I have some wishes. Where do I send them? Or better yet where do I look to see if they have already been suggested and rejected, added to the things to do in future versions list, or have been implemented and I'm too boneheaded to find them? -- Mark Healey marklist@...1969...

Short article about an etching for a laptop case created using Inkscape http://news.com.com/2061-10793_3-6089449.html I get sent regular google news alerts. Out more than 20 or so messages I had queued up this was probably the most interesting Inkscape related article I found from the past few months. -- Alan H.

Getting good fill for extracted paths
by Brendan Quigley 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi - first time poster here. I'm relatively new to SVG and I'm having a little trouble. :) I'm multi-selecting and copying paths from the world map I've downloaded from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BlankMap-World.svg . Each path seems to be separate, hence the multi-select. Then I paste the selected paths (say for Spain) and try to combine them. They appear to be combined, but I'm unable to get a proper interior fill on the resulting object. That is it seems the fill is still acting on individual paths. I've tried joining selected segments, grouping, everything I can think of, but to no avail. If you look at the small attached example, you'll see what I mean! I'm sure from that you'll see what I'm trying to do. Maybe it's something simple, but I'm baffled. Any help would be gratefully received. Cheers, Brendan Quigley
