I created a background image at 326 dpi. I wish to bring it down to 72 dpi. How do I do that without changing its size?

For some reason when I try to open Inkscape now, it looks as if its going to launch the window but then it doesnt.

This started happening after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I created an object that looks like this... Its supposed to be a piece of road with a ramp in the middle. I had originally made the piece longer, for a game. Now I realized I can make its flat sides shorter and create a long flat piece and just chain them together as I wish. Screen Shot 2012-05-11 a...

I created a book. Colored it and added shadows. Now I duplicated it so i got an exact green duplicate of my original. I have 2 green books.

I went and changed the color of the duplicate to blue, but it changes the color of my original as well. How do I avoid this?

Well to be honest I'm excited about finishing these characters. So I'm focused on trying to make them presentable enough to post back here

Wait, why should I check if I can use layered sprites on coccos2d? Wouldn't I just export these as png's to use them in the game?

Ok, here is my process so far: 1. I hand drew the image on a piece of paper after finding out my wacom tablet investment had been for not...at least for now. Drawing on a tablet is much harder than it seems and until I get used to it, my free lines are so crappy that I end up with much more work try...

I did...

Delete Segment between two non-endpoint nodes

and then

Join Selected nodes with a new segment

the thing is, I'm just creating my main character. I need to dress him in a space suit. I had traced the hand drawing I made with inkscape. I had made 3 traces; head, torso and legs. I started with the legs and realized I needed to give him space boots. So I wanted to at least give him a black color...

It's for a game so animation is done by cocos2d in my case.

So I guess I can't open the closed paths? Because the 'objects' (legs-section & boot) are still somehow joined.

Then I would have to redraw it.

I have a shape i created with the bezier tool. Its kinda like an engine turbine, its all i can think of. Ive attached it. The thing is the linear gradient doesn't. do it justice. I want the gradient to curve along the outer edge of the engine, like shown by a black arrow i drew alongside. How do I a...

Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted! Although I did figure out how to do it with Division like other suggestion. Which was instead of using an open path such as a line...I used a very thin rectangle (a closed path-object actually) and it worked. Now just a follow up. Originally I selected a nod...

Here is more or less what Im trying to do and it doesn't work with division or break apart.

I select both the line and the rectangle. One first or the other one first. One on top or the other one on top. Still nothing happens.

I have a similar problem. I have a leg, lets say a rectangle. I want to split it into 2 parts, the upper and lower part. I inserted endpoints on both sides of the rectangle where i want the split to occur. I chose to break apart each line segment at its respective new node. I then joined the 2 new b...
