[Inkscape-user] Align objects side by side with fixed spacing

Hi everyone,

I have e.g. 100 objects of the varying size. How can I get them all next to each other, with equal gaps? (For example, no gap.)

I've found one way to sort of attain this this result: start with them all further apart than needed, then iteratively scale each object ob by a small amount and "make horizontal/vertical gaps between objects equal" - until the desired gap is needed.

But of course that's very slow. Does anyone know a proper/easier way to do this?

Best, Christoph
