Hi all.
I am looking for a way to stick gradient to object.
Normally, when I create (ex.) circle and set it filled with gradient it looks OK. But when I move my circle, gradient lines stays on the same place in document.
Such behaviour annoys me because each action (sizing, rotation, etc.) produces improper results and I always have to correct gradients' lines manually for dozen of objects.
Is there a way to prevent that and have gradients "glued together" with shapes?
I've tried to find solution for this problem but without any results.
Thank you very much in advance.

There is a button on the Selector toolbar that control that. Select the Select tool
and look on the right hand side of the toolbar under label Affect:, the third button must be pressed to carry the gradient with the object move.

Thanks, man.
I did read read your manual and I am ashamed now
Sometimes the easiest solutions are the hardest to find. I cannot simply believe how I couldn't see that so many times.
Thank you very much once again.

Those aren't mine, they are made by others, very hard members of the Inkscape community
I just dare to link to them
The guide helped me a lot when I was starting so I recommend them to everyone (manual hadn't been written yet at that time).
Don't feel bad you are not supposed to know it all from the start, we're here to help.
