I have some problems, these are not bugs, but makes work difficult.
1., I have got trouble with snapping to grids and snapping to guides.
I have hungarian keyboard, so on main keyboard there is "+" above "3". When I try to toggle snapping to grid, it zooms instead of snapping.
The "" is on my "Q" key (with Alt Gr), so it is unusable for snapping.
(I can use # and | to hide grids, but it's not a solution)
----
2., The "open file" dialog forgets his size, what is annoying, because it is very little in default.
----
3., Inkscape does not handle file names with accent, so this file is invisible for inkscape: azénrajzom.svg
Thank you very much for help, Aewyn
(and please let the right button on mouse to unzoom when the zoom tool is selected, thanks)
1., I have got trouble with snapping to grids and snapping to guides.
Thanks, I added this to the bug with a similar report:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=978017&grou...
If you have an idea of what other keys can be used for these functions please add comment to the bug.
2., The "open file" dialog forgets his size, what is annoying, because it is very little in default.
Yes, it's a problem with the new filedialog too - Bob, please make it remember its size. Also the new one always starts in the top left corner of the screen, instead of in the center of the current editing window as before. It's also not modal, has a huge startup delay (almost intolerable!) and spits out a few warnings on opening.

This should work. It works here for Cyrillic filenames. What is your locale? Can you save with this filename?

I don't like this idea, it's inconsistent. Right click is the context menu, and it should remain that way in all tools. Making an exception for one single tool is a bad usability practice.

LANG=hu_HU LC_CTYPE=hu_HU
As I see inkscape uses unicode, and does not know ISO8859-2. So saving and reopening is OK. This problem exist in gimp too, but not in any qt/kde app or openoffice.

I can accept your argument, but
1., zoom is a special tool: it does not draw, does not select anything, it has no contact any object. It is for one purpose: to set the appropriate view. It does not inconsistent, because just after zooming you will select another tool to do something with objects.
2., zooming is possible one way: just using mouse. But using out, you cannot use this way: this is "dead end" road. It is a usability mistake.
3., There is common usage for zoom: check your work. And after checking, your next step will be: zooming out. If you have not an 22" monitor, it will a very common usage. So now zoom tool is a bad tool for it, because of two hand using.
4., Gimp use ctrl for it. I always go trouble with it after using gimp.
5., a lot of designer use coreldraw, and coreldraw use right mouse button for it. You can make the switch easier to linux/inkscape. It can help for these people. This is the way to heaven. ;)
But of cause, I dont know other designer's opinion, so all thing is I ask for, just an option for it.
Thank you, Aewyn

It uses whatever locale you have, via standard functions g_filename_{to/from}_utf8.
So saving and reopening is OK.
So what is NOT ok then?
I can accept your argument, but
OK, as an option this makes sense, please add your reasoning to
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=950537&grou...
and I'll do it when I have time (or you can send a patch :)

Maybe it's a question of setting G_FILENAME_ENCODING as explained in http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.ht...
Cheers, Colin
Maybe it's a question of setting G_FILENAME_ENCODING as explained in http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.ht...
For me it works without that (with KOI-8R encoding). However I notice that I have this variable set:
G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1
Quoting http://www.gtk.org/gtk-2.0.0-notes.html:
* The assumption of GLib and GTK+ by default is that filenames on the filesystem are encoded in UTF-8 rather than the encoding of the locale; The GTK+ developers consider that having filenames whose interpretation depends on the current locale is fundamentally a bad idea.
If you have filenames encoded in the encoding of your locale, then you may want to set the G_BROKEN_FILENAMES environment variable:
G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1 export G_BROKEN_FILENAMES
Try this and see if this helps.

Done it :) Two times :( sorry...
and I'll do it when I have time (or you can send a patch :)
Thanks. I am really not skilled in c++, but really interested in inkscape, so I will give a try.
But, these are minorities, inkscape amazing app., thanks for all you developing. :)
Bye, Aewyn
