Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
OK, I have a signature on one document (My main document where I keep templates). How can I copy this to another document? Every time I try, it says that there is no copied image in the clipboard. Help?

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
I had that same problem at first, since I've got a whole lot of different template files.
Turns out the solution is easy. See, Inkscape still has issues with copying to different sessions of Inkscape, so all you have to do to keep the different windows in the same session is to open one, then open the other stuff from that same window.
So, for instance, if you double click on one of your template files to open up Inkscape to begin with, you then just access, from inside that first window, the file menu and go through there to open up whatever other files you also want to open up.
That way they're all in the same session.

Sweet! Thanks!
I wish GiantITP had a reputation system so I could raise you.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Just a quick question here, how do I "blend" colors together? Like one side red, another yellow, and the middle is an even batch of blended orange from the 2 colors.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
It's happened to me on several different computers, ranging from one with an AMD 4400+ Dual Core CPU, to this laptop with some Intel processor(I don't know which because it's not mine and I'm only using it while I wait for new parts for my normal computer to arrive) to others.
Basically what happens is that it stops taking commands, the window can't be brought back up once moved away from, and the CPU registers 100% usage. It happens the same way on all of the computers I've run Inkscape on.
I save frequently so it's not usually a huge deal...it just can be if I accidentally forgot to save for a bit, or if I just did something very complex and wasn't saving in steps or what have you.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Ok... I was drawing just now and I'm having a strange problem with inkscape...
I can't copy anything anymore.. I mean... I can't paste it, or else the inkscape crashes...
Anybody knows why?
EDIT: Ok... It's not a file problem.. I'm trying restarting the PC know... maybe reinstalling InkScape
EDIT 2: Restarting the PC did the trick :P

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Another tip: Export as a .PNG. Not a .GIF. Gif will make your anti-aliasing around the outline of your avatar end up to be filled with shades of grey, rather than differing opacity, meaning that it looks weird on dark coloured backgrounds.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Two or three, or sometimes four depending on how scattered things are.
Elder Tsofu: Indeed. I've already got the most used stuff altogether in such a way that I don't have to open a separate session for it. It's just that I've got so much stuff that it's scattered across a lot of files, so I can't always avoid having multiple sessions open.
That said, I have been making sure not to keep as many open at one time anymore since reading up on how that can prompt more crashing.
Castaras: A good tip in general. For Inkscape it's not necessary however, as Inkscape can ONLY export in PNG. There's no GIF export functionality.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Kyronea:
Well, maybe you are one of those lazy artists who [like me] don't like to browse through the archives of a forum.
If you, indeed, had searched through them, you would have noticed that one "Anti-Inkscape-Freezing" warning is NOT to have more than one session running.
Meaning that's your problem, and not Inkscape's.
Maybe you should try making things out of nowhere, instead of using many sessions open.Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Nah, don't worry.
Most of us artists [Including myself] are lazy.
I have found myself ridiculized because of it.
Yet, you go on, and endure. *Makes estoic face.*Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
How do you cut objects in Inkscape? Say, a line? Make it into 2? or take a sword and divide it into two separate objects?

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
I don't know a quick way, but you may be able to duplicate the object go to edit nodes and delete the half you don't need and if they are any curves place a node in the middle and adjust it so it fits.
For make it into two do the same thing just with the other half. Just make sure you keep the origanal object.
I hope that helps.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
This may sound stupid, but is there an eraser? <.<
It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Gourtox has made one good point, actually.
It is better to do Node editing.Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: The Inkscape Help Thread
Okay, so I've opened up my Inscape and I'm finally going to try and give it a proper go.
…
Oh for God’s sake this thing doesn’t even have layers!
