:Thanks so much for the tip. Another question: sorry if this is documented somewhere, but I couldn't seem to find it... I was looking at the Find dialog implementation code and I understand that, but where is this dialog being called from during program execution? The dialog compares a passed SPItem, where is this item coming from and where is it stored? Sorry for all the questions...

I have been trying to work on searching algorithms within real-life code and am looking for a project in which to implement them. Inkscape seems like great project, so I was wondering if anyone had any need to search through objects within Inkscape and if this process needs to be optimized. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
