Hi there,
sometimes I find myself locked in a world of guides :-)
I can't find a quick way to remove all guides in drawing (Inkscape 0.46). Can someone help me?
TIA!
Lars

Open the svg file in a text editor. Find all <sodipodi:guide groups, delete, and save.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this at the moment - but you can control click on a guide to delete them one by one.
There is a confirmed wishlist item on this in launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171917

Doesn't this sound like a good candidate for a simple extension.. Maybe like the one makes arrowheads match the stroke colours?
So glad you volunteered to do it. :)

Okie-doke. I just edited an existing script (one of Hannes Hochreiner's scripts) and I am now able to delete all guides at once. Seems to work pretty well. A little more testing an I'll offer it for download maybe later today. I'll post a link. Also, maybe someone can clean it up for me.
Btw, I am NO python coder. It's likely I cannot troubleshoot. If it works then it works...if not then you're SOL. :)

I've been trying this before, but I can't delete the guide groups, only the guides one by one, which is not faster than deleting them one by one on the screen.
Thanks, Lars

Ok, at least that's faster than my drag-it-off-the-screen method, wasn't aware of ctrl-click.
Thank you.

Lars,
I have now have a working extension that will delete all guides at once. Richard Querin and I spent a few minutes on it last night and worked out some bugs. It appears to work great in Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) and WinXP. I am trying to contact Hannes Hochreiner of JessyInk fame since I modified one of his extensions before I post it for download. I want to make sure that I properly credit him for his work. Couldn't have done it with him. ;)
Please sit tight. Hopefully I can get it to you today.

No need to hurry, but thanks very much, so far!

All done! Thanks Hannes Hochreiner and Richard Querin for helping me. I hope it works well for you, Lars. I found it rather useful. :)

Super! Works perfect, thank you and the other guys! Often it's the small things which make up one's work.
And also: This is one prime example for the benefit of the open source development and community.
