For example: I draw a webcomic and I've been using Inkscape for it for at least three releases so far. It works pretty well, but I have to keep all the characters saved in a single template file for re-use. The more characters I add the larger the file gets, and if the comic gets too complicated pretty soon the hard drive is thrashing just because there are so many unnecessary elements in the file. It would be great if I could save each character as an individual svg file that I could import into a document as needed, but I can't seem to find any option in the menu that does that.
Is this possible?
You might be asking two different questions here.
- Exporting a selection is not currently possible.
- You can import any SVG file and it will get included in the current document. This includes things like defs and other stuff. So if you made all your characters and individual files, chose them using the preview in the file dialog, and them imported them in you wouldn't have to have a large "character palette."
