Hi Friends,
Would it be possible to have guides by layers? I mean, so that when
you hide a layer, the guides for that layer are hidden. And a different
layer can have different guides?
Since layers are just special groups, I'm guessing it would not be
possible. Because guides are a document property, they're made to be
displayed across both groups and layers.
I'm often wishing I could have distinct sets of guides. For
example, on one layer, I have a large star or circle, with guides set up
that center on the star or circle . So it's a set of radial guides. But on
another layer, I might need guides in a rectangular arrangement.
Without any way to have distinct sets of guides, when I make my
guides visible, sometimes it's almost like a nightmare! For example, see
attached a screenshot of a file I've been working on. And that's one of the
more manageable files, as far as guides. (yes, I changed them to red)
So I wonder if there could be such a thing as "guide profiles" or
"guide sets".....that could be individually hidden or visible. (not that I
could actually write an extension, but I might request one, if it's
possible).
Thanks for comments,
brynn

Hi again,
Oh the subject of guides -- would it be possible to put a Duplicate
button in the Guide dialog? For example, you have a guide at some
non-vertical, - horizontal, or -60 degree guide, and you need several of
them. It would be much easier to click duplicate, and slide the guide over,
than to drag out another one, rotate it, and set it in place.
Just another thought. Is it do-able?
Thanks again,
brynn

Hi,
Guides by layer i don't know (probably doable, but require a lot of code
investigation since guides are for now supposed to be in the root
namedview. An option would be to allow them to be in any group and
inherit its visibility, another option would be to add an [optional?]
inkscape:layer attribute but in this case it might become very painful
to track changes made to the layers)
Duplicating guides is certainly doable, since you can already duplicate
them from the xml editor (select the guide [they are in
svg:svg->sodipodi:namedview->sodipodi:guide] and click "duplicate node")

Oh, thanks for the info, Marc!
What about something like "guide sets" or "guide profiles" which would
be
distinct sets of guides which could be hidden/displayed individually? They
wouldn't be associated with groups or layers, or anything.

You can effectively do this already by creating regular SVG paths that
are tagged as part of a selection set. Create guide paths for each
layer in that layer and then create a selection set for them. You can
also create a selection set for all the guide paths in the document.
Using the Selection Sets and Objects dialogs you can quickly toggle
locking and hiding each set. Make sure to enable "Snap to paths" rather
than "Snap guides"

Thanks Tav. I'm not familiar with "selection sets". Where can I find more
info? I don't see anything on this page:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Select.html although I might
have overlooked something.

Brynn, I've never heard of them. They sound great... and maybe
completely hidden. It's sort of (but not really) like that meta-group
idea so objects can be both in front of and behind other objects.
Tav, is this an idea of a feature or something that exists in 0.91?

For 0.48 and 0.91 some of the suggestions in this thread on the forum might
help to achieve a similar effect to selection sets:
http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18483
In particular, the extension I attached to that thread sounds like it comes
close, though the workflow for just showing and hiding some
objects-serving-as-guides possibly isn't worth the effort.

Ok, thanks Tav. I'll wait either for 0.92 stable or if I have some other
reason to install it as development version.
