What features would you like to see in Inkscape?
Hey, my name is Anna, I am a Free Software advocate from the UK. I am working for Open Initiative http://funding.openinitiative.com/ at the moment on their new feature-by-feature Free Software crowd funding platform.
I am also an Inkscape user (here is something I made http://fsfe.org/graphics/xbox-infographic.png).
So, some a question - which features would you just LOVE to see in Inkscape? What is missing?
I will compile a list, using emails, forum posts, Facebook messages and the current list on the forums. I will also be talking to developers of course!
I know crowd funding campaigns often don't get past the ideas stage because all the words and pictures are hard work to put together and people are busy etc - but I am here to help prepare the campaigns, which I am delighted to do, for at least the next month. My time is your time ;)
Let me know

Hi Anna,
It'd be great to finally have a way to invert the coordinates system https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170049
Also proper command line options. The Inkscape verbs feature is a start but is a bit clunky. For example, could the settings of trace the bitmap operation be controlled via the command line?
Hope this gets off the ground!

1. Being able to manipulate centers of rotation like objects. Example: I have a square and a circle, both apart from each other. I want to set the center of rotation of the circle to the center of the square (and EXACTLY there, i.e. use the "align and distribute" tool or something like that).
2. Have the ability to have subscript and superscript in text.
3. Tiled clones: Having the numeric fields round off to 1 digit after the decimal point is RIDICULOUS and horribly stupid. Remove that arbitrary restriction. If I want 64 rotated clones, I NEED to enter 5.625° because 5.6° will just not work.
4. Better (documented) "tiled clone" functionality. Either it's broken of sort or WAY too complicated to figure out. Example: I have a square and a circle. I would like to have 12 circles, rotated exactly around the square (like a watch). So I place the center of rotation of the circle in the center of the square (see #1 BTW). Then Clone -> Create tiled clones. P1, 30°, 11 rows. This is the result:
Why? The first clone (right below the original) is translated, but I didn't specify that. I wanted rotation only. Why is it below the original then? I don't get it.
Oh well. Let's see what happens. Sorry about the rant, this cloned tiles functionality is really grinding my gears.
Kind regards, Johannes
PS: All of the above refers to Inkscape 0.48.
Hey, thanks - will add it all to the list! :) Again, let me know if you know any developers that might be intrested in working on these features :)

One that I'd like to have (e.g. to draw better-looking public transport network maps) is rounded path corners. This is the relevant feature request:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/202751
I could also see this implemented as a Live Path Effect which would then apply to all corners in a path. I don't know what is easier to develop but, for me at least, both would be equally useful.

A more efficient interface. It is much faster / efficient working in Macromedia FreeHand. Features which I miss include:
- an easy way to select objects which are not on top --- Freehand used <Control>click for this - the ability to do math in measurement text fields (want an object to be 10 units wider? type +10 after its width and tap enter) - the ability to move selected node(s) and compleat object(s) - the ability to align a selected node against an object (or multiples) - It would be nice if InkScape would conform to industry-standard user interface conventions (usually Shift constrains when dragging, but it's Alt which does that when musing the pen tool) - wrapping tabs and all other text features which FreeHand had - the ability to put text inside a box w/ user-controllable insets all around, to set the fill and stroke for the box separately from the text and to have the box be auto-sizing to match the size of the text - graphics find and replace - more control over placement of UI elements - interactive controls for origin of text when placed on a path, ability to have a second line on a different part of the path
Basically, just make it work like FreeHand, 'cause it solved the vector graphic interface problem a long while ago, and nothing has improved on it since, save for FutureWave SmartSketch (freeform / distortable paths) and Creaturehouse Expression (skeletal stroke technology).

Better Diagramming tools.
I'd love to be able to make lines that attach to objects, and then have those end points move with the objects.. :)

Freehand had connector lines --- I never bothered to find out if there was a specific feature for connecting them since I'd just <alt> drag to select the line end and the text box, then move the selected node and the object at the same time.

Like a designer working for the press industry I will love to see inkscape supporting:
Real CMYK. Spot inks. PDF/X-3 standard. Bleed settings and press marks.

I second the X-3 vote. And if possible PDF X/1-a:2001 would be super. That would require real CMYK of course.
Features which I miss include:
- an easy way to select objects which are not on top --- Freehand used <Control>click for this
Use <Alt>+click, if your OS prevents this (and mine does) then report a bug. I couldn't find one for it.
- the ability to do math in measurement text fields (want an object to be 10 units wider? type +10 after its width and tap enter)
This is already there in trunk. Width: 804.56+10 -> 814.56

When I do that, it just toggles the status of the current selection (Mac OS X) --- my Windows machine doesn't have a keyboard (Tablet PC), but will try to remember to try that.

Please do not file a bug report, but instead read http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#How_can_I_make_the_Alt_key_work_.3F
or visit this site with a few useful tips for Inkscape users on a Mac: http://rhult.github.io/articles/inkscape-tips/ (it has a nice screenshot of the X11 preferences which make the 'Alt' key work as expected).
Wow, it really is christmas time. We can send in our wish lists..
I haven’t read the other post very carefully, but my wish list for this AWESOME program would be…
1) The possibility to round individual nodes. (Or, to round corners at all) 2) A DIA or OmniGrafle or even Illustrator-like way to work with ‘symbols’. Let me have a library of objects that I can drag and drop onto my canvas to quickly make a diagram, a flowchart, a UX-sketch, etc. Very analogue to the we work with clones. It’s more a UI thing. 3) A native Mac OSX interface.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the brilliant work that's been put into Inkscape. The ability to set the coordinates of gradient stops would make my day.

chiming in for better controls over gradients.
I depend on Inkscape on Linux and like it - thanksfor your work.
I find the gradient tools confusing and frustrating and would really like a better way to control the stops. I want to be able to open a named gradient, change a stop x-y coord. , and change its color. Then close and save. I know this is possible, but I usually fumble or even fail. Ideally there would be a thumbnail to illustrate the settings as you experiment.
I'd be happy to do some mock-ups in the new year if thats of any use at all.

Oh good! I had the occasion to work with gradients today and was thinking
about how it would be nice to be able to import gradients, like .ggr - or from an image (I think the stops were equidistant, determined by the colours extant in the image, and ordered by number of pixels with that colour) like IFS tool Apophysis, although this should probably be reserved for an extension. Having a curveshttp://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-curves.html#thoughtThereWasASpatialOneForGradientsToo.huheditor as in GIMP would be nice too but not essential. -Arlo James Barnes
You can already import ggr files into inkscape, its been supported since at least 0.47

Hi Anna. As a Graphic Designer myself i would love to see a nice way to handle guides, i think that the "spot" where you are able to click a guide and translate it is too small, maybe select guides with rubberband? Another topic is the rulers. It will be nice if the rulers could adjust to any object on the canvas. Other nice implementation i'd love to see, is the movement/scale/rotation of objects in relation to local coordinates of any object in the canvas, just like the 1.5.x version of Scribus has. And last but not least, a better way to handle text. Sometimes i found myself opening Scribus and adding some text in it over an art created in Inkscape, even if the text is small, the paragraph management of Inkscape it's really poor. I'm not asking to replace the outstanding text management that Scribus has, but maybe a little bit of support to the Inkscape text handling could be superb!
PS: I'm formely member of a Argentinean 'LUG' like community of graphic designers/artists called Grafica Libre http://graficalibre.org/social/. We have a small social network where we share our thoughts and works with gnu/linux software. Maybe we can elaborate a list of items in the name of the group.
Thanks!

Personally I'll be sorry to see the Gradient Editor Dialog go. It could certainly do with some improvement, but I prefer it over on-canvas editing of gradients. The latter requires you to be zoomed into an object enough to see and click the gradient handles, but no so close that they are out of view.
For very small objects that can mean a slow redraw as you have to be zoomed in closely. The handles can even obscure the thing you're trying to modify, if it's very small. Having to zoom in also means that you can't always see the effect of your changes in the larger context of the image - or see the effects on other objects that share the same gradient definition.
That aside, the ability to sort gradients by colour will be a huge bonus - but what I *really* want is a way to replace one gradient with another. Once they're sorted by colour, that would let me replace lots of very similar looking gradients with a single definition, and delete the "spares". When you're drawing a gradient heavy comic that is often made up of parts pulled in from previous strips it's very easy to end up with lots and lots of very similar gradients.

There is a Symbols dialog in trunk already and it will be in 0.49.

Hey all,
There's a very large difference between Inkscape stable 0.48 and the current trunk.
I notice one of two suggestions are already done for the next release. Could everyone let us know which version your using so we can check the right version's features.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Inkscape files should have enough (nonsignificant) newlines in standard places so that revision control systems such as git, monotone, subversion have no difficulty merging branches, since they usually do merges line by line.
Of course that won't solve the problem of merging in the presence of significant structural change, but it could be a big help for merging smaller changes.

Hi Anna,
I would say some things I would personally be interested in (and this being from someone within the dev community) are a focus on features already proposed for future SVG versions.
This like Gradient Meshes, Hatches, "Arcs" line joins, knockouts on markers, the paint-order property, etc... this is all just stuff mentioned in one section of the draft at https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/painting.html
Basically, for *me* as an artist, rather than things like cmyk and spot color support, I'd just rather see my creative toolbox filled with more options to empower me than something to ease a very specific output process (print features are irrelevant for screen display, and my print work already runs through a separate proper prepress tool).
Again this is just me and my .02 and I'm not in any way against things like proper cmyk & spot color support.
Cheers, Josh

Number 1: ========= A way to import other SVG files in such a way that they remain "live".
Example: A logo in one SVG file. The application of that logo in various other files. Logo needs a change? No problem, edit logo.svg. All the others (when they are converted to PDF or PNG or when opened) will now have the updated logo.
Number 2: ========= Multiple page documents.
Number 3: ========= A way to spot-export to PDF like you can to PNG [*]
[*] Which itself needs work. Right now you use a layer and you draw boxes on it, you give them an id, you select one (or more) and then you hide that layer. Then you export to PNG. It's weird, but it works.
Number 4: ========= A way to bring Gimp XCF files in. With layers (as far as poss.)
Number 5: ========= A way to show some layers/elements by outline-only while others are shown as basic fills. The all or nothing view modes are fine, but complex drawings are still too slow. Related: A way to show large blocks of text as grey rectangles - for speed.
Number 6: ========= A way to kern entire text areas at once!
Number 7: ========= Colour symbols. I don't know the right phrase. Example: you use orange in your drawing. Later you want to try pink where that orange was used. You change the orange to pink. It changes everywhere.
Number 8: ========= Custom palettes. A way to make my own colour collections and families. Extension to this: Share palettes across multiple svg files. Change colour once, update everywhere (across files). Extension two: Swap out one family for another - entire drawing changes to new colours. This would let you change the mood of a work very quickly.
Number 9: ========= Interactive, on-canvas, ways to explore colour. Example: Drag from the colour-chooser to the canvas. A swatch appears. Drag another out. Dropping it creates interpolated swatches from the first one. Dragging the end-points makes more room for more interpolation. Grab all, or pick a few -> add to palette.
Another example: How about a live way to see what colours look like to colour-blind eyes? Connect swatches to each other through "recipes" such that you get a new colour. One such recipe could be "Tritanopia". In one you see green, in the other swatch, grey.
Number 10: ========== In complex paths, when in the edit-tool, don't draw all the handles! i.e. some way to draw only the handles that are near the mouse pointer. The speed of Inkscape is dire when thousands of handles are drawn and then, dog forbid!, you scroll the canvas or zoom! Arrrggh!
Enough wishing! ;)

A way to freeze guidelines so they don't get moved accidentally.
I use inkscape everyday, 4 to 6 hours minimum. Been a long-time user since the sodipodi days. I could give you an almost endless list of suggestions.
Some suggestions for urgent features:
1. A ePub authoring, exporting, editing tool. 2. multiple-page, facing-pages layout, so pages can be correctly split in pdf-for-prepress workflows (yeah i know scribus is for multi-page, but designers might just find inkscape far more suitable for a brochure project, for instance)
i think i should resume submitting bugs and features, been out of the loop too long.
regards niyam

Also the ability to import/export different formats - currently everything seems to need uniconvertor to be installed and it's not THAT easy to do unless you understand the command line interface. be nice if this were already installed or inkscape had some other way to import other file formats - like .fcm, .eps and a few embroidery formats too like .jeff or .hus or such.

I have no idea what Gcode is or is used for but looks interesting.
I was talking along the lines of the silhouette Cameo or the Phoenix Silver Bullet cutters that use .svg format but maybe support them in having direct linking to the cutter driver (currently Sure Cuts a Lot 3 (Scal3), Signcut Pro or Make the Cut (MTC))
also being able to import/export embroidery files would be very, very cool as a lot of home machine embroiderer's would be able to design their own files or adapt svg's for converting in the machines own software (like embird)

I'd love to see a template or symbol library that is made up of other svg files. This would be excellent for flow charts, UML diagrams, work flow, etc. Or any other set of images that you'd like to create and re-use often. What is in the library would be whatever the user wants. Though some of the common libraries, like I mentioned, could be included in the download.
Any thing that would allow me to create a side bar of svg's that i could drag and drop in to the current image.
Thanks, Greg

I was talking along the lines of the silhouette Cameo or the Phoenix Silver Bullet cutters that use .svg format but maybe support them in having direct linking to the cutter driver (currently Sure Cuts a Lot 3 (Scal3), Signcut Pro or Make the Cut (MTC))
also being able to import/export embroidery files would be very, very cool as a lot of home machine embroiderer's would be able to design their own files or adapt svg's for converting in the machines own software (like embird)
This is a good thing, and also possibly related to tool improvements for working on and sending to services such as Ponoko. https://www.ponoko.com/
Anyone know what's the «progress» of this requests? There are devs actually working on some of the features?
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply. I started this thread aaaages ago now - nice to see it is still going!
The idea was to encourage dev's to put features up here http://funding.openinitiative.com/ and crowd-fund them.
An example is that one of the core gimp dev's has been having a try; he does gimp part time and works as a paid developer on other projects the rest of the time. In this case, the idea is for him to be able to devote more of his time to gimp by replacing some of his paid work with crowd-funded work - its a win/win situation really. The main problem with the gimp project was that the developer chose a feature that was not especially popular, so with InkScape, I thought it would be a good idea to ask people first and to give the dev's some ideas as to which thinks people are really excited about.
My involvement, by the way, is that of a "connector" - an idea the open funding people are working on, where Free Software people (users/advocates/developers etc) who have community/marketing/design skills can help developers with presentation, videos, social media when they want to crowd-fund a feature.
In general, I am now doing my "connector" role only within communities I know really well. With InkScape, while there have been loads and loads of replies from users with ideas, I have had very little response from the developers and I don't know any of them personally. I would love it if some of these ideas that would otherwise not get made, could get crowd-funded into being :)
Again, do contact me if you want to have a go :)

Good clarification. I believe the GIMP feature was mirror painting, which is interesting and certainly useful to painters (judging by CTRL-Painthttp://ctrlpaint.com, an excellent resource which is sadly PhotoShop-centric) but not as much to me for cosmetic editing.
It seems like the first step in something like this is ascertaining whether the devs would be able to devote more time if there were feature bounties anyway, that is not always the case.

I agree. I think this will be a slow change too. If we want to have more full time, paid developers in Free Software then we need to really refine some of these ways of funding them. I am concerned about the number of folk resorting to to "bottlenecking" type methods, and of course there are a lot of dev's paid for by big business too (google+mozilla). I feel that the crowd-funding method would be a very good thing if we scaled it up a notch in some ways (number of projects funded) but tuned it in more too (specific features as well as huge and general projects)

I'm not a developer but I am a software project manager who loves using Inkscape.
How can I help?
Thanks, Greg

The first task is to join the inkscape-devel mailing list[1], this will allow you to talk about project related activities.
Next is to find the right way to use project management skills to make inkscape better. Suv does a pretty good job managing bug reports[2] and likewise we have no one who's job it is to look after blueprints[3] and tidy up wishlist items into blueprints.
Would this be something you'd be interested in doing?

Hey, my name is Anna, I am a Free Software advocate from the UK. I am working for Open Initiative http://funding.openinitiative.com/ at the moment on their new feature-by-feature Free Software crowd funding platform.
I am also an Inkscape user (here is something I made http://fsfe.org/graphics/xbox-infographic.png).
So, some a question - which features would you just LOVE to see in Inkscape? What is missing?
I will compile a list, using emails, forum posts, Facebook messages and the current list on the forums. I will also be talking to developers of course!
I know crowd funding campaigns often don't get past the ideas stage because all the words and pictures are hard work to put together and people are busy etc - but I am here to help prepare the campaigns, which I am delighted to do, for at least the next month. My time is your time ;)
Let me know
