[Inkscape-user] Eyedropper for gradients

Hi all

Congratulations to all on the latest version - it's great!

Is there a way that I can use the eyedropper for editing/creating gradients? A lot of what I do is illustration work and I am now using Inkscape by default. Often I use a photograph for a model for at least part of a drawing, it would be good to pick up two (or more) colours from the photo to create the gradient that I want. Can I do this? I think I could do it the long way round by picking one colour to an object, noting its RGBA number, then doing the other, then using these RGBA numbers .... but is there a more direct way?
