<p>Ow9Bhv: </p> <hr /> <div>== Windows installer for 0.45? ==<br /> <br /> FAQ claims a self-contained installer for Windows XP. Release 0.45 seems to be missing this.<br /> <br /> Yes, it is possible to download an archive of 0.45 executables and libraries, but there seems to be no installer that would register file types to the executables and create menu entries, etc.<br /> <br /> Is there a maintenance release coming with a Windows installer?<br /> <br /> [[User:metaed|MetaEd]]<br /> <br /> == Download Inkscape ==<br /> <br /> Since I really enjoy working with graphics [i basically use mspaint] and subscribe to 'computer tips' thru worldstart, they have led me to your program called 'Inkscape'.<br /> <br /> I was wondering where I can acquire it at?<br /> <br /> ==.ai?==<br /> This FAQ says that inkscape can save in .ai format, but I don't see that option in version 0.44 under the save dialog. --[[User:Axiom|Axiom]] 14:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC<br /> <br /> ===Mac 10.4 ?===<br /> How do I make Inkscape work on a Mac with 10.4? The X.11 was installed--how do I make it active?<br /> <br /> == how about a 'select adjacent nodes' shortcut key ==<br /> <br /> If you've ever used Wings 3D, you're probably familiar with hitting the key or - key to expand or decrease the number of vectors in the current selection. I keep wishing I could do the same with nodes in Inkscape (how about with '''Alt''' ''' ''' and '''Alt''' '''-''').<br /> <br /> :In 0.45, it's pgup/pgdn or mouse wheel while the mouse is over a node.<br /> <br /> ===Scale by percent?===<br /> I am a teacher of mathematics to future teachers, and would like to use Inkscape with my students for learning certain mathematical topics (mostly transformations.) However, in Inkscape, the scaling is % more than, not % of. While this may be the way that some graphics people like to think, it's not ideal for learning math.<br /> <br /> 1) It doesn't agree with the conventions in other software: AI, AppleWorks, MS Paint, Freehand,... OpenOffice is even worse: you have to say the actual amount more, not the percent more.<br /> <br /> 2) It makes certain key mathematical concepts less accessible: Twice as big is multiplying by 2 or 200%, a 15% tax on an amount is 115% of the amount, etc. <br /> <br /> Is there some way you could include this alternate way of scaling? (Yes, I realize you can put in the coordinates for the affine transformation as a matrix, but I'm working with elementary teachers.)</div>
