Hi Fillotassi, it'S been a while since this post but there's an option for that:

select an object, then right click on the little color and stroke view (left bottom screen) and select 'swap fill and stroke' from the popup.

Hope this helps!

Brynn thanks for the explanation though it would be for temporarely use and I need it to see the progress over days/weeks.

Maestral, It's about the same amount of clicks (adjust size and name to not copy over the former one) but will give it a try.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Hi there, I take a lot of screenshots while illustrating, just to see the progress and now I'm using the screenshot-app from Mint but it's quite anoying having to start it up the whole time etc. I also don't want to take a shot of the whole computer screen and then paste etc. because I just need the...

Just some brainstorming here, but maybe you can let users write a special word in the beg...

Hi,

Is there a way to add a shortcut to swap fill and stroke?
I use it a lot so that would be realy welcome. I know you can add shortcuts to the xml but then you seem to also have to program in other docs and I don't have any experiance with that.

thanks!

just an idea but if you mean spam by machines then you could fix a 'check' field for responses? Like the ones you have when joining the forum with 'proof you'r human!' or writing the letter showed in the scrambled image.

Hi guys, I'm on Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 on Linux Mint 16 and have a question about pen-tool with pattern along path effect.
