Unset Stroke Color Only?
by F.B. Hu 29 May '23

29 May '23

Hello! I would like to request a new feature that sets stroke color to “unset”, while leaving stroke style as is, so that I can control the stroke color of it via CSS. I noticed that I can unset the stroke paint in the Fill and Stroke dialog, but doing so also unsets stroke style, making it inconvenient for me, as I have to remove the “stroke” attribute in the final svg file in the end. I’m aware that it’s better to file requests to bug tracker systems, but as the Report Bugs suggests I decided to send the request here for discussion before doing so. Thanks!

bug? tspan in PNG export
by Nicolas Graner 18 May '23

18 May '23

Hello all, I am new to Inkscape and wonder if what follows is a known bug, or an error of mine. I'm running Inkscape 0.92.4 on Linux Debian 4, so it may well have long been fixed. Consider this file: <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="100mm" height="100mm" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 100 100"> <text> <tspan x="10" y="20" fill="red">123</tspan> <tspan x="10" y="20" fill="blue">321</tspan> </text> <text x="10" y="40" fill="red">123</text> <text x="10" y="40" fill="blue">321</text> </svg> When I open it in Inkscape, it correctly shows two lines with a blue 321 on top of a red 123. When I export it to PNG, the first line appears with the red 123 on top of the blue 321, as if the tspan's had been processed in reverse order. (The second line, without tspan's, remains correct.) Any thoughts? Thanks, Nicolas

Re: Inkscape 1.2 / Layer actions

Never mind. I'm stupid. "Layers" vs. "objects" are two different menu choices, and two different concepts.

Inkscape 1.2 / Layer actions
by Charles Chambers 26 Mar '23

26 Mar '23

Is anyone else having problems with moving figures to top, up in a layer, down in a layer, or to bottom. Let's say we create two circles, with different interior colors (red and yellow) that overlap like a Venn diagram. The circle on top determines the color of the common area. Try to move the circle on top to the bottom, or the circle on the bottom to the top, changing the color of the common area. It doesn't seem to work?

Actual object contents are somehow not within parent selection boxes, how to fix?
by Britton Kerin 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

I've attached a svg logo I originally got from some web site. I've attached it. Unfortunately it seems pretty broken in that the actual contents of a lot of the contained objects don't seem to be within the bounding boxes of their containing objects. I've found that if I more the right sub-objects around I can get them back withing the bounds of their parents (e.g. by putting g42->svg40->g38->g36 I can get it into the bounding box of g42. But of course fixing the entire thing this way would be really painful and might still not really be correct. Is this thing really valid to begin with? Is there any good systematic way to fix it? Thanks, Britton
