Hello,
Is there any way to embed pictures (png, others) into svg files? Now -as I know- it makes only a link in svg files, so it is hard job to manage all files for one svg.
Thanks, Aewyn Vienna

AFAIK, SVG standard itself allows embedding images and fonts inside. It's all about encoding the file data (with base64 as I remember) and placing it inside the SVG file, and then referring to this data instead of a file, so I think someday our great Inkscape guys will make this possbile ;-)

This sounds like a great idea. You should file a new feature request here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93438&atid=604309

I'm glad you like it ;-)
BTW, there is a very nice page to read about embedding fonts into SVG: http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/samples/text.shtml
I know that all of you are probably SVG gurus, but anyway, this could somehow be of some sort of help ;-)

No, you didn't have to give me this link, I'm a top10 feature request sumbmitter and bug reporter ;-) And this link is in my bookmarks (no kidding) ;-)

Hey Artemio, since you've got such a good eye on the RFE's, could you keep an eye out for duplicate feature requests, and add a comment on them pointing to the duplicate? I think people have been pretty good about checking to make sure features are not already listed before adding a request, but it's likely that some duplicates have slipped in.
Also, if you happen to spot any that have already been completed but not marked open, let me know so we can get them closed. :-)

Okay!

Yes, I seem to have seen some.

I'll be glad to help!
You guys rock!

Currently we don't have support for _embedding_ the raster images into the SVG, but there was a recently added feature for creating packaged archives called 'inkjar', that contain the svg drawing and other associated pieces. The idea is to make it a little easier to manage collections of files (such as multiple svg pages of a presentation, or the png's included in a master svg.) I don't know if this solves your issue but it might be one option you could try.

Yes, this great! Way to go guys! This solves the problem, but only partially. It is a great way to share Inkscape project files with other people. But we were talking about plain SVGs that will be published on the web for web pages etc. So they should have fonts/images embedded.
