Hi,
is it possible to clone an object/group across files? I tried using clone, but pasting into another file results in an orphaned node (apparently the reference is only valid _within_ the file with the original). Is there some other way to achieve something like this?
I want to prepare a set of slides with the same background. I can of course select and copy the background from one slide to the next, but if I want to change something on it then I need to go over all files again.
Is there a way to define an object/group in one inkscape file and then link to this in another inkscape file?
For plain XML files it would look like below, but I don't know, if this would work for SVG files and if I can use the XML editor in inkscape to achieve an effect like this.
All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Marc
