Different color for clones in outline view mode

Postby filhocf » Tue Sep 16, 2014 5:42 am

Hi

I did a draw called "Infographic of Debian"[1], where the size was 15Mb, and when i used clones (i discovered this resourse some time ago), its size falls to 10Mb. Today, i wish to do a revision in it, but when i see in outline mode, all pictures are black outlined, but have some elements, like embeded pngs that are in red.

Using this logic, have some way to see the cloned elements in other color?
Thanks,

Claudio

Hello there

Nice detailed work!
As far as I know there is no way to do that except writing into the codes of the program.
Maybe people at launchpad can answer better such feature request.

On the practical side, you can select all the clones at once if that helps a bit:
open the find tab (Ctrl+F), type in the id field "use"
or just leave all fields empty and tick in only the clones option at the object's type field then run the search.

Good luck!
