Re: Help with adding CMYK color profiles to Inkscape

Just adding an update to my original post here. I haven't been working with the CMYK colors since I posted about this, but now I am back to working with my projects and I have run into an issue with using the CMYK color profiles. When in the CMS tab in the Fill and Stroke dialog box, I choose the CM...

Re: Help with adding CMYK color profiles to Inkscape

Hi Espermachine, thanks...yeah I was happy it worked. I downloaded all of the Adobe ICC CMYK color profiles, but I only have used two of them USWebCoatedSWOP (3 and 5) to practice with. I haven't printed yet though but just added them to the svg doc I was working in, saved that doc and put it into S...

Re: Can You Customize Order of Tools on Menu?

Thanks C and Moini. Not sure if I should submit another report given the old related one (from 2010 - 2012) that Moini linked to above, but since it is so old do either of you think it would help? I can wait till 0.93 version...though not sure if this customization will for sure be added to it.

Help with adding CMYK color profiles to Inkscape

I know this topic has been brought up before...I did a search and read all of the threads on this topic, but none helped. So I hope it is ok I started a new topic for this. I installed an ICC color profile (CMYK) to my computer so I can work with the CMS in my Inkscape docs and convert RGB to CMYK v...

Can You Customize Order of Tools on Menu?

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to customize (e.g. move) the tool icons on the vertical menu (on far left side of screen) so the order is different? There are some tools I use back to back a lot but they aren't near each other...and I'd love to move the ones I use the most closer together. I...

Re: Text Converts To Object When Pasted Into Another SVG File

Hi Tyler, No to all of your questions. Though I am using an external monitor for my laptop (but only using the external screen, not both), however, I have always used this external monitor prior to updating to 0.91 and didn't have any issues before. No changes have been made to my system prior to up...

Re: Stars along a spiral

It has always bothered me that the shapes distort upon using pattern along path too. I haven't tried the LPE method or markers method yet, but Polygon's sample of using Text on Path with this intrigues me. Polygon, if you don't mind, can you explain how you achieved this using the Text on Path? I kn...

Re: paste of vector graphic does not work correctly

I have been having strange copy/paste issues with Inkscape as well...though nothing has disappeared like in your case and I am not on a notebook. What version of Inkscape are you using? I suspect it is a bug with v. 0.91 in my case, but can't be totally sure. It seems to be random with how often it ...

Text Converts To Object When Pasted Into Another SVG File

Hi all, I am using Inkscape 0.91 on Windows 7 OS. I have two text related questions. 1. When I copy/paste text from one svg file to another one, it automatically converts the text to objects (each letter is a single object). Is this a bug or do I need to do something to keep it from doing that? 2. I...

Filter Effects Disappear When Zooming Out

Hello, When I use some of the filter effects (Stone Wall in particular but it happens on others too) the effect disappears if I zoom out at all. I have to be zoomed in to at least 105% which ends up making the object way too large to work with because the filter effect also slows down the program. A...

Hi Lazur, thanks for your reply! Ok, adding the stroke at 0 value is a great idea...I will try that. The circle I did at 50 x 50 was merely for an example to match the native size of the Gimp brush...most of my vector designs I make for brushes are larger in size - around 300 - 500 pixels, and the f...
