[Solved] Clipping a photo. How to make background a different colour?

. In a different post, I've been given help in cropping a photo. The result is a rectangle the same size as the original photo before cropping. The lower two-thirds is the cropped image. The upper one-third is now white, corresponding to the canvas. There's an irregular border between the upper and ...

Re: How to selectively delete files from "Open Recent"?

. Thanks for your response. I'm not sure why you need to delete them. I use Inkscape files in the same way as I use Word for Windows, or any program that produces output files. l don't edit existing files - I copy to the next higher version number and then edit the copy. After that I "Save"...

[Solved] How to selectively delete files from "Open Recent"?

. I know how to clear the recently-opened list. But I'm wondering if it's possible to delete selected files? I tried searching for some of the SVG file names in Program Files and in App Data - but no success. As a last resort, I searched the registry. But nothing there. Maybe they're in the cloud :L...

. I have Inkscape 0.91 with Win 7 Home. I'm experimenting with patterns. My first attempt was with diagonal lines at 45 degrees. The pattern was added to the "Pattern fill" dropdown list. But the target object (a circle) was not completely filled with the pattern. I created the same patter...

As the pointer approaches the guide, the pointer changes to a pointing finger, and the guide turns red. If I now click, nothing happens. The line is not selected. If I move the pointer about 1 ...
