Yes the export dialog is mis-behaving. BTW my file folders come up very slowly in Ubuntu as well which is why I was afraid of other problems. Inkscape 1.2 (56b05e47e7, 2022-06-09, custom) GLib version: 2.72.1 GTK version: 3.24.33 glibmm version: 2.66.2 gtkmm version: 3.24.5 libxml2 version: 2.9.13 libxslt version: 1.1.34 Cairo version: 1.16.0 Pango version: 1.50.6 HarfBuzz version: 2.7.4 OS version: Ubuntu Core 22 Last week the Inkscape version changed to 1.2 so I guess that was snap. I am a casual Ubuntu user, so I don't understand your advice on fixing it.

Directory path problem exporting to png in Ubuntu
by Dale Walton 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

When I click on the directory and choose a directory, add the file name and save, it exports to a directory /run/user/1000/doc/<8 character hexidecimal> This then shows in the export file field with the entered file name at the end. This morning a file saved correctly, later this problem occered and the files show in the correct directory but look like ".xdp_<file name>.ZDP701. After my last attempts to correct the directory in the file field of the export window, the files dont even show in the directory or in the Ubuntu "Recent" directory, but exist in the /run... directory. Is this an Inkscape problem, or do I have a rootkit, or both, or something else??

Zoom like Krita
by Diego Duarte 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

Is it possible to use the zoom tool like krita does? Let me explain: If you hold control + middle mouse button/middle button on the pen it's possible to zoom in and out by moving the mouse or pen. This also work for rotating the page, but instead of control you hold shift + middle button. Does this functionality exists hidden in the preferences menu or those tools would need a total rewrite to be able to do this? Sorry if this is not the right place to ask/suggest this, this is my first post -- Diego Duarte duartqx(a)gmail.com Digital Illustrator

I need to convert *.eps files to *.pdf, and I used Inkscape to do it.
by Freddy Fisker 02 Jun '22

02 Jun '22

Inkscape can make a margin around *.eps pictures when I need to convert them to *.pdf, but after upgrade to version 1.2 of Inkscape an error appear when I try to open the *.eps files. First a small window is asking: "Determine page orientation from text direction" No matter the reply (Disabled, Page by page or All) the next window is writing: "Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected." - Followed by a list of errors. The only option is to press "OK" and no more happens. I am running Inkscape on OpenBSD 7.1 on a RaspberryPi 4 (8GB version). Best regards Freddy Fisker
