This is NOT the known bug with 0.48.2 where there is no Save As dialog.

That's weird... I'm running 0.48.2 and I've never had any problem (including that). Maybe it's because I'm running it on Linux.

Anyway, glad you've solved your problem.

I reread the initial question and I think that, although I (at least partially) solved your problem, I did not really understand your main question. I get you're having trouble with the bucket tool but I can't really grasp what's troubling you. However, I think it might be this: bucket tool in Inksc...

I managed to color your line art in a much more efficient manner (for more on this check this other thread I started ). What I did was: 1.- Delete top shape (for some reason you've got 2 line art shapes, one on top of the other) 2.- Ctrl + C (to copy the shape) -> Ctrl + Alt + V (to paste in same pl...

While that is a much much faster solution, it is not acceptable (in my obsessive-compulsive opinion) for high quality print jobs. You might not see them... but you know they're there... I wonder if this method will meet your criteria! ;) (Method) Of course step 5 goes a little beyond what you were ...

Or you could use the bucket tool (Fill bounded areas), and increase the Grow value, to eliminate the gaps :D While that is a much much faster solution, it is not acceptable (in my obsessive-compulsive opinion) for high quality print jobs. You might not see them... but you know they're there... [Sor...

Now that you're sufficiently sorry...i'd like to apologize by asking a question about your new found technique :) Does this work for complex whole shapes/objects that aren't broken up into separate enclosing parts? Thanks. Oops! Apparently my brain wasn't working last night! I meant the Division fu...

Sorry to bump an old thread but I wanted to share this: To color lineart, I previously used the fill tool :tool_paintbucket: and then adjusted the color shape (moving the nodes :tool_node: ) to eliminate the white gaps. A much more efficient way to accomplish the same is just clipping a rectangle :t...

the usual way that i've seen is creating a layer under your "ink" layer, and create the desired freeform closed shapes with fill color and no stroke. it is quite tedious as you're almost re-drawing again, but this doesn't have to be too precise underneath inking becuase hidden by the ink ...

I am relatively new to Inkscape and I'm already loving it! I've been messing around, reading, watching tutorial videos, and I think I've already got most of the basic functions. However, there's something that still puzzles me. I'm using Inkscape to draw (and color) cartoons, mostly. I've made some ...
