I've seen that forked effect associated with Ellipse shape, using only corner/cusp nodes, but not with smooth nodes. Like draw a rectangular closed path with Ellipse, and only use corner/cusp nodes. Thats it ! Had a similar problem, changed them all to cusp nodes, and Bob was my uncle. Thanks Brynn !

Myeah, I was very imprecise.
Tanks TD !

Ah, right, there is no powerstroke in the bezier shape options, only ellipse....
Which is called "Pattern Along Path" in ctrl-shift-7.

Morning M, Thanks for all the info ! Stupid thing is, cant reproduce it. Indeed, I added the powerstroke after making the stroke with bezier tool (ctrl-shift-7). When it happens again with ctrl-shift-7 after making the spiro spline stroke, I will redraw the same line with bezier shape controls to se...

Hello Inkscapers, Had a mysterious apparition on a spiro spline + powerstroke, One end (zero width), got a "snake tongue", a forked shape, instead of one long endpoint. (Love having a long endpoint.) When moving the end-node, the purple-node for shaping the point, disappeared, and it took ...

But how do you move the cursor, without using the mouse? The arrow keys don't move the cursor for me -- not in Inkscape. They do in a browser, but not Sorry, probably skipped a few communicative steps. What I meant: it is possible to go to menus without a mouse, by means of keyboard usage, when it ...

@MARSZ try to install lubuntu on the old machine, or some other linux designed for old-machines. I find that low processor power is the most problematic feature when surfing heavy sites (which describes 99% of the internet nowadays). I don't know how Inkscape would fare, I guess it depends on what ...

Hi Brynn, Like for example, how would you put the cursor in the H or W fields, in Selection tool control bar, without using the mouse? Cursor movement screen: arrow keys. Click: enter. ;) But, all those windows, all those fields,... not needed. So maybe that's the answer? Use the function key shortc...

I love keyboard shortcuts and having a special command entering mode (like in text editor Vi) Yeah, Vi is great. Years ago I did a little Linux management. Still have got a Linux PC in the house. Dont do much with it. Lately tried to get Inkscape going on it. Too much hassle. Fedora core 6. Old, ol...

Or if there is something wishywashy with your wave/vector-file, export it to PNG-file, shift-ctrl-E, and try using that PNG-file.

Are those waves ONE object/group ?

Have you done: put the pattern to a lower layer, PgDn / End, and the circle to a higher layer PgUp/Home ? Have you put both items over one another ? Have you selected them both ? (ctrl-A, if these are the only items in your document.) Menu: Object, Clip Set ? Maybe upload/enclose the *.svg file here...

Love the 1-key shortcuts in Inkscape. Wish there was a little command-box to enter stuff, something like, for example: s lw 1,2 [enter] (set linewidth to 1,2). Love things like: ctrl-d, ctrl-x, ctrl -> ctrl ->, z, clickclickclick, s, ctrl-v, . , . , ctrl-. . Like to use the command prompt on me lapt...

If you like, you could make a feature request for that (but it might be it's a matter of desktop theming, not sure). Ok thanks, maybe I will do so, not sure yet. Will switch to tab-esc for the time being. Fußballfan? ;-) No, never have been. When I was a kid, I wanted to see Daktari on tv, but the ...

Me brain is getting mushy, I think I meant this: - draw rectangle - change Stroke style, Width:, use arrow up/down - or enter a number - Escape - your modified Width is canceled - your still in the submenu Width field, not on the canvas I do a lot of stuff with lines and this keeps confusing me. Esp...

Hi Moini,

Cant reproduce the problem. Sorry.
Escape works.

Mmm, yesterday I did have a bit of a hangover...
Zu viel Bier.

My sincere apologies and thank you !

Yah, it -is- nice weather outside.....

Hallo Maren ,

Nee. Sorry.

Selector modus (F1/S).
Select a stroke/line.
Ctrl-shift-F, Fill and Stroke, cursor selection at Width: n,nnn , ..... ESC...... .....rien du tout, nichts, nada, niets.

But, thanks for the quick response !

Ato, M

Howdy Y-all,

I open a submenu like the Fill and Stroke submenu (shift-ctrl-F).
And I can close it with ctrl-W.
But is there also a key( combination) for jumping from submenu to canvas which doesnt close the submenu ?

Doei-doei,
M

Great, thank you !
I-ve already seen that option... and forgot about it.
There is still a lot to learn/remember...

Ah, ok, thanks for the info Moini.
We-ll just have to wait for the next release.
I suppose, there are worse things in life.
I can live with it.
Getting big bulky muscular fingers.
Incapable of nose picking.

Hi People, For path effect/power stroke the default value for start/end cap is: Butt. I would like it to be: Zero width. Couldnt find it in preferences (shift-ctrl-p) or the file preferences.xml (user preferences). Is it somewhere to be found in ../inkscape/share/[folders]/[file] ? Or is it "ha...

Thats it, it works !
Thank you very much Moini !

Will keep an eye on the status bar.

Thanks Brynn, as far as I-m concerned, no problem, I-m in no hurry. (I-ve donated nothing yet.) Notable; it worked flawless for a couple of days. Even copying between 2 documents worked without error. At the moment it cant be done without error. As if Inkscape has suddenly got some messed up "p...
