I used inkscape in the past but have not used it for a while and need some refresher lessons. I want to make a simple watermark with a design and my name and save as a transparent image. I need it in a few different sizes. Are there any beginner tutorials you would recommend ? thank you,Joanne

empty text boxes
by Brynn 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hi Friends, I'll explain the problem here, before posting on LP. If it already exists, maybe someone can tell me, before I make a duplicate report. (I don't have very good luck searching on LP :-( ) I've been working on a series of Inkscape tutorials, using Inkscape to write the tutorials. So I'm using the Text tool a lot, making regular text....at least *on purpose* making regular text. But it seems I've made a lot of empty flowed text boxes by accident, which are selectable, even though they don't contain any text. I'm pretty sure it's happening when I try to highlight selected text and I don't have the mouse in precisely the correct position. And instead of highlighting text, I've dragged a tiny text box. But I assumed if I didn't type in it, and left the text box empty, it would not exist as an object. When selected via the Tab key, there is no bounding box or scaling handles. But there is identification on the status bar. I can't seem to select by dragging a selection box. But Ctrl A has same behavior -- identification on status bar, but no bounding box on the canvas. I'm not sure what use it is to have empty text boxes. Is this a bug? Or if it's intended, would it be reasonable as a feature request to have the option for empty text boxes not to be retained as objects? Thanks for enlightening me :-) All best, brynn

Im having a hard time reporting this issue to the Inkscape forum - Can someone do it for me, please?
by Artie 10 Nov '15

Testing...one two three...Is this mic working? I’m using Inkscape v.0.91 on Windows 10 64 bit operating system. When one file is open & I import one image onto the canvas no problem, but import a second image into the same file & Inkscape crashes & closes every time. Is this happening to anyone else using Inkscape running on Windows 10 64 bit operating system. Are the Inkscape powers that be aware of this glitch? Please get back to me. Im having a hard time reporting this issue so If you can take it upon yourself & report it for me, I would appreciate it. Artie P.S. I’m having a hard time reporting this issue to the Inkscape forum - Can someone do it for me, please?

question about power stroke
by Brynn 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Hi Friends, This has probably been discussed somewhere.....but I can't seem to find much info on either the website or wiki. And of course not When I'm using the power stroke LPE via Triangle In/Out in Pen or Pencil tool, it only gives me 1 control node (the pink kind). But if I draw a regular path, and add the power stroke via LPE editor, I get at least 2 control nodes, usually 3. I guess that's how it's supposed to be? But I wonder if there's a way to manually add more control nodes (pink)? If not, would that be a reasonable feature request? Or is there some reason why either it wouldn't work or would not be needed? There's a good chance I don't understand something about it. Thanks for your help :-) brynn

Thanks Ivan, this allow a lot of posibilities, because the color that change is only the fill, the stroke retains original color, so you can do things like this: http://i.imgur.com/wn7n95Z.png?1 Regards, Jabier.
