LOL well if Inkscape can press the button it'll be fun, but then this may be easy to do and we can press our own buttons ;)


Now the problem would be explaining what I'm talking about.  I could show someone in about 1 minute, to tell someone would be an essay <grin>

Thanks, I'll have a look at the links you supplied and see if they are what I'm after. may work out easier then I think (prolly not the first time round mind you LOL)

Here, or InkscapeForum.com, or create a RFE or blueprint as detailed as
possible (maybe with mockups) and add it to the bug tracker?

You can create your own (vector-based) patterns with Inkscape 0.46
already... ( ...and store them in your custom templates):
