new feature worth requesting - Find/Dropper/Selection ?
Hi Friends, Do you think it would be possible, for a new feature, to be able to use the Dropper tool to identify what one wants to search for, using the Find dialog? So for example. I want to find everything with a green fill #00ff00ff using the Find dialog. Would it be possible, with Find dialog open, to click on something with that green fill, with the Dropper, and have the proper info entered into the Find dialog? Or maybe instead of Dropper, use the Selection tool, since it can already identify everything? Just select one of whatever you want to find all of....and maybe context menu > Find, or a key shortcut, and all the proper info is entered into the Find dialog. Or maybe there's a button in the Find dialog, "take from selection"? Or something like that? Maybe this is "mission impossible" but I guess it can't hurt to ask :-) (....much!) This would just make finding things a little easier, because I can never remember, from one time to the next, exactly what I need to enter in the Find dialog. And I have to look up the manual every time. And because I don't know much about SVG/XML, there's often a lot of trial an error, figuring out exactly what to enter. (Now and then, I can't figure it out at all, and have to just give up.) So it would be nice not to have to know or understand those technical details. Just select one of whatever you want to find, and it's automatically entered.
Thanks for comments, brynn

Hi Brynn,
did you already try "select same" in the context menu (right-click on an object)?

Hi Maren, Oh, I should have mentioned that. Those are convenient if you would have been using Find for those 5 things. But the Find dialog can find so much more types of things. It's especially when I need to enter the correct text from the XML, where a feature that....I guess it would sort of auto-fills the proper fields and/or checkbox, dots (or whatever you call them) in the Find dialog, where this would be so helpful. But yes, those are very nice new features, and I didn't mean to belittle them with this message.
Thanks :-)
