Hello,
After starting inkspace, when I open a recent draw, it opens a new window and the first window remains empty. It is a bit uncomfortable (but, it is possible to exist a good reason for it).
When I open an svg from a file manager it doesnot happens. But I am just an old style kid, starting the programs first. :)
Regards and thanks for inkspace: Aewyn

It is a known bug and it was recently fixed in CVS (so you'll be able not to seee it starting from 0.39 or whatever comes next).

Ohhh, thanks!
And another one :) Do you plan to develop a color-separation tool in it? I know, it is a very difficult process, but I think this is the long-awaited feature in opensource world (for gimp too). As I know there is a plan in gimp, and scribus has some kind of solution for it (but I don't use scribus yet). So is there any plan to develop a common solution for these projects. Like a universal ps writing tool, or anything else. I would like to use these tools to design business card etc, and it would be great to bring a sepatated ps to press.
By the way, I have difficulties to print from inkscape (I try to print keys.svg): - print as bitmap: I get absolut mess, and hills of ps errors. - print to ps: the print has no shaded buttons, and the print is always portrait not landscape. (I set page sizes to landscape certainly)
I use command "| kprinter" to print. It it possible that I am too lame, but the only way I can print to export it to bitmap.
Bye, Aewyn

Well, I don't think that it is a feature that we would say no to, but I don't think anyone is working on it right now...

So, does "| kprinter" work? That basically has Inkscape render the Postscript file and then pipes it to the program specified. It should have exactly the same problems as 'print to ps'. If it doesn't, then it is a problem of what ever you are using to render the postscript file.
The reason that the buttons aren't shaded is that Inkscape's Postscript output doesn't support gradients. We need to either a) render these as bitmaps or b) upgrade and start using Postscript Level 3 (as I understand it). I don't think either of these are easy, but I think that they will be fixed in the next few versions of Inkscape.
I haven't played much with print as bitmap, so if someone else could comment on that...
