New subject: layer dialog, windows, and mailing lists versus forums

Wednesday, 30 November 2005

Hi

1. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for us user to set up a message board 
on inkscape.org instead of a nerdy mailing list that fills up mailboxes 
with unwanted discussions?

2. I have been playing around with the Windows version. It's nice, but 
I'd like to see some features and changes:

- When I have the document window opened in fullscreen, then open a 
dialogue window or similar and work on the document again, the dialogue 
windows disappear behind it. I've seen this behaviour on The GIMP as 
well and it's damn annoying. Would it be difficult for a coder to change 
it so the dialogue boxes and menus stay on top?

- I mainly use Expression 3 for vector and really like that there is a 
layer window, so the user can easily choose and rearrange the objects. I 
haven't found out if Inkscape has this function as well, I have only 
seen that drop down menu at the bottom which is quite poor compared to 
Expression/Illustrator and other programs... is there an option to 
activate a box listing all the layers or is it planned to code something 
like that?
