I run Windows 7 64 bit and I keep getting runtime errors, like every 2-3 minutes or so...

Is it because I have 64 bit?

Thanks Brynn,

But I hope there is an easier way?...something missing as simple as this is just about enough to go back to Adobe! ;(

I can fill a rectangle with a pattern, checkered , but it's only in black and white.

How can I change it to red and any color I want?

In photoshop I used hue and saturation for this.

Thanks

HI I just can't save anything that will open in AI, can't even copy and paste from Inkscape to AI either. Tried EPS, PDF, PNG and any possible file extension under the drop down, tried exporting as bitmap..tried openign in Gimp, Photoshop, Paint.net..... Nothing works, there must be a way to do this...

How do I merge, select and delete layers in groups?

Can I create sublayers also?

I tried keyword combinations to no avail!

Hi Maestral,

How did you do that? You're a genius, looks better than a real pic

I'll need to do some reading once this rush is over...

Cheers!

Because that vector image needs to pluggin into another vector file, the label file, need to merge it into one, then paste in the lable. I need that image and a lot of others to be pasted into the file I'm attaching. Not sure if I traced it or not...I used a filter from JPEG and traced a Bitmap... W...

Hi Full sails, I'm totally satisfied with the image just the way it is, no need to modifiy anything, just to make it lighter, get rid of all the effects, layers, nodes whatever! Problem is I need this vector image workable in 2 hours! ;( So not much time to look at tutorials for now.... If you have ...

Thanks everybody,

I don't need any nodes or layers, just that simple image as a vector that I can stretch, how can I like "merge" all layers into a single node?

Or how can I "flatten image" as a single layer vector?

Sorry,very new at this!

Cheers!

I created this file from an image to SVG and it's impossibly slow to work with, tried on an XP desktop and also a Windows 7 brand new laptop with 6 Gigs or ram, but uneditable...is the file corrupt?

Can't attach so here it is:

Hi Drupan,

Thanks! Works perfect, do you think people would be interested if I wrote a script to do that? No need for any addon, just a one click application?

I did a search on the forum but haven't fond anything...

Is there a way to do that? Like fetch a bitmap from Wikipedia and turn it into a stretchable vector?

Looked on the Wiki also but too many options...

Thanks,

This is on windows XP.

Thanks

Hi Suv, Yes exactly 100% works! Open source kicks ass! I can't imagine getting perfect answer that fast with AI! Onto making my labels for my new "Pickles" business in Thailand, I need to translate all that in Thai, I can't imagine the pain it would have been one character at a time, thank...

I see that when opening multiple files, they show up on the bottom toobar, is there a way to have them in tabs so I can go back and forth?

Hi there,

I can select the text, and sometimes it works and sometimes doesn't...

In some cases I can add or delete text and in some other the text just repeats on itself...difficult to explain.

If nobody understands I'll need to record a movie to show what I mean...

Thanks,

I'v now switched from a Microsoft mouse that is the most comfortable but with 1000 DPI to a gaming mouse that is 2400 dpi.

The gaming mouse works faster but annoying to hold...

Would the track ball be a compromise?

Or a "normal" design mouse with high DPi?

I'm switching to Inkscape because of the lack of compatibility between IA versions. I always have a different one than the printing shop and it's a pain... So everything from now on Inkscape from scratch, I will bring my inkscape portable to the printer so he can plug and play. Are there any tutoria...

Hi Druban, This is incredible, after years of using Photoshop and Illustrator... I didn't know there was something else than layers! Let's hope Inkscape will be like another Joomla or AutoIT for me, open source rocks! Will try this today, I'm designing some labels for my pickled eggs business in Tha...

Do you mean like the hughe logitechs with the red ball on top?

They look like 1 foot long!

Do you need the move the whole mouse or just the ball?

I think I have it figured out, I just need to create layers, so I can put the basket behind the eggs? I need to experiment more with it, just very new at it.

Has anybody had any experience with designing with a gaming mouse?

I just bought an optical 2400 DPS Anitech, feels kind of weird but maybe I'll get used to it?

Hi Brynn Sounds Good,

Cheers!

Hi there, New to this forum and 100% not a spammer but a signature is always nice ;) I don't see any option in the back end, is it because I'm too new? If a signature can be used what are the rules? Is there a min amount of posts? What is the maximum links, max characters ect... I see this on the bo...

I'm new to Inkscape but have been using Adobe and so on for years, sick of too many versions and incompability with printers... So switching to Inkscape portable, so I can take the whole thing there! But learning however, I do shift+ctrl+l But although the layers panel shows up, I can see the layers...
