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

Inkscape 1.2.2 ============== Inkscape 1.2.2 is now released. You can download it at: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.2.2/ then, if you want to support Inkscape, donate to the project at: https://inkscape.org/support-us/ ---------------- Inkscape 1.2.2 is a maintenance and bugfix release, which brings you 4 crash fixes, over 25 bug fixes, 5 fixes for extension bugs and 13 improved user interface translations. Notably, the OpenClipart import is now available to everyone, regardless of the selected packaging format or operating system, spellchecking finally works on macOS, performance is improved (in exchange for dithering disabled by default), extensions that modify colors can now also modify colors in patterns again, and for our maker community, we fixed some issues with the measure tool, the DXF14 export and with hairline strokes. Thanks to everyone involved in that release! -- The Inkscape team

make original selection dialog show up again
by Britton Kerin 06 Dec '22

I rebuilt inkscape and the first couple times what looked like some sort of original setup dialog showed up. I wanted to look at it and consider the options it offers but now it doesn't show up again. How can I make it reappear? Thanks, Britton

by Alberto Piovesana 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

Good morning everyone, I need to export files with CMYK color profile. How can I do this with Inkscape? Is there any extension compatible with Windows 10-11? Do you recommend any external program? I tried searching but I couldn't find anything.... Thank you very much Sincerely Alberto Piovesana 3298114293

can import image default to location of the file?
by Kent Tenney 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

I open an svg from the command line and select File -> Import which defaults to a directory I haven't worked in lately and I have to browse to get an image in the directory the svg is in. Is this unexpected? is it configurable? Thanks, Kent

History of Inkscape development?
by Lee Fallat 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

Hey inkscape-user mailing list, In light of the Figma acquisition by Adobe, I've been thinking of Inkscape. Since 1.0, the user experience has greatly improved, and this has me wondering: what has changed that enabled this rapid development? I remember Inkscape being stuck on some version for years, hardly progressing for whatever reasons. Now I feel more than ever Inkscape could use development resources. As a FOSS enthusiast I feel knowing its history could help getting into its development, giving context to what exists today and less questioning about decisions made along the way. Thank you very much, Lee
