Adambelis: Add custom content

[[File:Customize inkscape.png|thumb|603x603px]]

== Change keyboards shortcuts ==

=== Shortcuts ===
In '''Edit > Preferences > Interface > Keyboard Shortcuts''' you can either select one of the predefined keymaps, or you can define your own keyboard shortcuts and save them. The shortcuts that you change will be saved in the file default.xml in your user Inkscape preferences' "keys" directory.

You can also manually edit the file <code><Inkscape install directory>/share/keys/default.xml</code>, or manually add a custom ''keys/default.xml'' in the user Inkscape preferences directory to define new shortcuts or remap (override) shortcuts from the shared keymap file.

In order to share the same shortcuts as other softwares, following configuration files are shipped with Inkscape (look at the ''<Inkscape install directory>/share/keys/'' folder):

You can find a list of the available keymaps either in the Inkscape preferences, in the dropdown, or in the
[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/tree/master/share/keys Inkscape git repository].

=== Modifier keys ===
'''Edit > Preferences > Interface > Keyboard Shortcuts > Modifiers'''

You can change what modifer keys you hold for actions like snaping, transforimg with locked ratio, canvas panning and simlualr acitons.

== Change the user interface ==

=== Change icons ===

In '''Edit > Preferences > Interface > Icon theme''', you can select an icon theme, and also customize its colors.

To add your own, you can save SVG (or PNG) files with the appropriate names into your <code><Inkscape install directory>/share/icons/</code> folder.

Inkscape looks them up by name from the system, in the "normal" way, as described by the [https://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html Freedesktop standard].

=== Custom the Interface Theme ===
'''Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme'''

In GTK, a theme is defined in a ''.css'' file. You can find an example under <code><Inkscape install directory>/share/inkscape/themes/Minwaita-Inkscape/</code>.

You can add your own theme, built and structured like the example theme, into your user preferences' 'themes' directory. It will then become available in the preferences.

=== Changing Colors of Canvas Handles ===
'''Edit > Preferences > Interface >'''

You change colors of canvas handels from preset colors (inkscape 1.5 +)

Or by copying the file '''node-handles.css''' from <code><Inkscape install directory>/share/inkscape/ui/</code> to the folder '''ui''' in your user preferences directory and then editing the copied file .

=== Changing Menus ===

You can change content of menus that by copying the file '''menus.ui''' from <code><Inkscape install directory>/share/inkscape/ui/</code> to the folder '''ui''' in your user preferences directory and then manually edit files in text editor.

You can use any [[action]] that does not require user input as a command.

=== Changing Toolbars ===
Some changes can be done in '''Edit > Preferences > Interface > Toolbars'''

If you want custom buttons in your menus, or remove buttons from them, you can do that by copying the corresponding file '''toolbar-*.ui''' from ''<Inkscape install directory>/share/inkscape/ui/'' to the folder '''ui''' in your user preferences directory and then editing the copied file.

You can use any [[action]] that does not require user input as a command.

=== Changing XML editor ===
'''Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme - XML Editor'''

You can change syntax color highlighting inside of xml attributes, font and font size

== Change Your Content ==

=== Changing Defoult file ===
You can setup your own Start up File, so every time you open new file it will be as you prefer. Open new file and change any parameters of document like Page ( Size , Orientation, Color, etc. ), Units, Zoom level, Layer names, add objects, etc and then go to:

'''File > Save as Tamplete'''

Name your tamplate and check '''Set as defoult tamplate'''

=== Add Custom content ===
You can add custom content to your inkscape libraries by copingng files in to specific folders. After that this contetn will be always in Inskcape UI.

go to : '''Edit > Preferences > System >'''

User manual information

Adambelis: /* Read */

{{Other languages|en=User manual information}}

== Read ==

There exist a number of comprehensive manuals for Inkscape:
*[http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/ Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program] by Tavmjong Bah
*[https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Inkscape Manual]

An always up-to-date list is available at [https://inkscape.org/en/learn/books/ the main Inkscape website].

== Contribute ==

#Join [https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/documentation Documenation Chat]
# Familiarize yourself with lates up to date [https://inkscape.org/en/learn/books/ manuals]
# Introduce yourself on chat and tell us what you want to do so we can avoid duplicating work
# Ask on the list how you can start to contribute.

Here is a hint: we try to use as much content from release notes as possible, since last 5-6 ones were written in a very much verbose way.


An old To-Do list for the manual is available [[User Manual Work in Progress|here]].

== Translate ==

We very much welcome translations of the manual. Please [http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/inkscape-docs join] the inkscape-docs mailing list and tell us about yourself.

So far we have established the following translations “zones”:

* [http://fr.flossmanuals.net/ French]


It's best to team up with several people and coordinate your efforts.

We still haven't decided how to provide source SVG files in most comfortable way to make localization of illustrations easy. Ideas are welcome.

Note that French translation is placed in a different zone, because it's mostly ready. As soon as each translation is close to completeness, it is moved to its own subdomain too.

== People ==
A few of these are no longer active on the Inkscape project.

Output format requirements

Adambelis: /* Save *.PDF (Win32) */

{{Template:MovedToOtherSite|topic=Extension development|new_url=https://inkscape.gitlab.io/extensions/documentation/|new_site=GitLab}}

----

Inkscape's extensions allow for importing and exporting non-SVG file types and direct editing of the current SVG document. For more information about the Extensions that appear in the Effects menu read [[GettingEffectsWorking|Getting Effects Working]].

=== Open *.TXT ===
* install perl
* install SVG perl module

=== Open *.AI ===
* install perl and optionally Image::Magick
* Only handles Illustrator versions prior to version 9 (version 9 onwards stores files as PDF according to https://createpdf.adobe.com/cgi-feeder.pl/formats?BP=&LOC=en_US)

=== Save *.AI ===
* requires pstoedit with the ps2ai filter
* uses Inkscapes internal ps output extension

=== Open *.PS ===
* requires skconvert python script from sketch =>> install sketch

=== Open *.WMF ===
* requires wmf2svg, part of libwmf (http://wvware.sourceforge.net/libwmf.html)

=== Save *.PDF (Win32) - Outdated ===
*install [[GhostScript]] http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/get851.htm
* create ps2pdf.cmd in %instdir%/share/extensions/

REM BEGIN
@echo off
REM edit %GSDIR% to match the ghostscript installation directory

Emergency save

2025-03-07T09:59:15Z

Adambelis:

Inkscape 1.0+ has Emergency Autosave. If inkscape crashes it will try to save your file. File is saved as current <code>file name _ date+time of crash.svg</code>

Note that there is chance that this file will contain same problem that causes Inkscape to crash or in rare cases file can be corrupted.
=== On Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, etc.)===

Inkscape tries to save in one of following paths:

#Home directory (<code>~/</code>, <code>$HOME</code>, <code>/home/<username>/</code>)
#<code>/tmp/</code>
#In the current working directory
=== On Windows===

Inkscape tries to save in <code>%UserProfile%</code>:

*Vista/7/10/11: <code>C:\Users\<username>\</code>
*XP/2003: <code>C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\</code>
