Die Highlights in dieser Version

Veröffentlicht am 24. Mai 2021 (deutsche Übersetzung begonnen 31.5.2021)

Inkscape 1.1 ist die letzte stabile Inkscape-Version welche viele neue Funktionen und Funktionalitäten mit sich bringt

Die bedeutendsten Änderungen beinhalten:

Benutzeroberfläche

Befehlseingabe

  • Pressing ? will open the new Command palette.
  • In the little overlay, a type-forward search allows you to find any available command to execute on the whole drawing or selection. The list of available commands is currently restricted to those commands that have already been converted to 'actions', as part of an ongoing effort. Additionally, it includes the option to import or open files from Inkscape's document usage history.
    • Some commands allow you to indicate parameters. A little keyboard icon will show you when the program expects a parameter (such as an angle for rotation, or a fraction for scaling). Note that the unit that is used for parameters is usually 'px', not the display unit. Some parameters require a specific format (like a comma-separated list of values for moving). The format is often indicated in the description of the command, e.g. to align selected objects to the last selected one's left side, find the 'align objects' command, then type 'left last'.
    • Some commands do nothing visible in the user interface (yet), as either
      • they only work in conjunction with other commands, such as commands that change how a file is exported, or commands that export the file. These need to be entered in order, e.g. export type ⯈ type 'png' ⯈ press Enter ⯈ press ?export file name ⯈ type a file name ⯈ press Enter ⯈ press ?export do ⯈ press Enter; export do in this example can also be used repeatedly to export the updated image to the same file name) or
      • they produce output on the command line (like commands asking for coordinates of objects), which you will only see if you have started Inkscape from the command line.
  • Press Enter to execute any command.
  • By pressing the (upwards arrow key), you enter the history mode, where you can choose between commands that you have already used.
  • To close the palette, if not using any of the commands offered, you can press ? again, or just click on the canvas.

If a keyboard shortcut is available for the selected command, it will show up in the command palette (in the form that it is saved in the keyboard shortcut file). In the settings, at Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Interface: Command palette, you can select some of the info you would like the palette to display. In addition to the translated action name, it can also show the English names of the commands and the corresponding command line argument name.

Diese Funktion wurde während des Google Summer of Code Student Abhay Raj Singh 2020 hinzugefügt. Du kannst mehr über die Entwicklung dieser Funktion unter folgendem Link erfahren: on GitLab or in Abhay's blog entry. (UX issue #31, MR #2072)

Oberhalb der Auswahl einfügen

Wenn man ein Objekt aus der Zwischenablage auf die Arbeitsfläche einfügt, wird Inkscape von nun an das zwischengespeicherte Objekt standardmäßig über dem aktuell ausgewählten Objekt einfügen (Bug #1988, MR #2476, Usability test #65).

Text als SVG-Daten einfügen

Plain text from editors will now be interpreted as an SVG document when pasted into Inkscape (and not currently editing a text object), so you can now open an SVG file in your text editor and copy and paste the whole file into Inkscape (Commit #14f53899, Known issues). This only works with complete SVG files, not with parts. This was originally a bug fix for copy-pasting SVG data from applications that do not use the correct mime type when copying their vector contents to the clipboard, but appears to have other potential uses, too.

Größe einfügen

When the option to use the geometrical bounding box is selected in the preferences, the size of the geometrical bounding box will now be used for copying and pasting an object's size (MR #2243).

Zeichenfläche

Konturüberlagerungsmodus

In this mode, a toned down view of the drawing (not click-sensitive) is shown behind the (click-sensitive) object outlines. The opacity of the original drawing in this view mode can be set in Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Rendering: Outline overlay opacity.

Anfasser

  • Inkscape now uses vector-based handles, which are currently hardcoded (not SVG) (MR #2334)
  • The maximum handle size has been increased, so users with HiDPI displays will be able to enlarge them to a more comfortable size from Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Interface: Handle size
  • Rotation center handles have been made more visible

Hilfslinien

  • Guide positions can now be defined with higher precision (5 digits after the decimal separator instead of 3) (MR #2951).
  • Guides can no longer be moved using the Tweak or Spray tool, but only with the Node and Selector tools (Commit #ca7d46a6).

Werkzeuge

Kalligraphiewerkzeug

  • The tool now supports units for the width, with a much-increased precision (up to three digits after the decimal separator, e.g. 0.005). The old, zoom-dependent width behavior is accessible with the unit '%' (MR #2449)
  • The entry field for 'Mass' has been moved towards left (for LTR languages) on the tool's tool controls bar, emphasizing its importance (MR #2816)

Objektverbinder

  • It's now possible to connect to objects that are on top of the object that the connector was started from (Bug #1115)
  • Connection lines now update in real-time while objects are moved

Knotenwerkzeug

Das Knotenwerkzeug erlaubt es nun, die ausgewählten Knoten zu kopieren, auszuscheiden und einzufügen. Die Knoten können in den ursprünglichen Pfad, in einen anderen Pfad, oder auch als ein komplett neuer Pfad eingefügt werden (MR #2343).

Zeichenwerkzeug / Malwerkzeug

The Pen and Pencil tools feature a new 'Scale' option to set the width of paths created with a 'Shape' option other than 'None' numerically (the handle that allows you to adjust the width with the node tool continues to be available).

Auswahlwerkzeug

A new selection mode for the lasso/rubber-band selection was added, which can now select every object that is either within the box or that touches its boundaries. The mode can be activated by pressing the corresponding button in the Selector tool's tool controls bar. On canvas, the mode is visualized by changing the color of the selection box to a dashed red line while dragging (MR #2520).

Stern und Polygon Werkzeug

Sterne welche mit dem Stern/Polygon Werkzeug erstellt wurden können auch nur zwei Ecken haben. Dies erlaubt es einem rhomboidische/Diamant-förmige Objekte zu kreieren: (MR #2044)

Textwerkzeug

  • Text-in-a-shape (aka flowed text) can now make use of justified text alignment (MR #1764)
  • Highlight all shapes: When editing text-in-shape or text-on-path, all shapes are highlighted, not only the first (MR #2468) and the orientation / position of the shapes is shown correctly (e.g. display rotated rectangle as being rotated).
  • Distances entered in the text tool's number fields can now exceed 100 units (new maximum is 1000 units; Bug #1639)
  • When first opened, the font selection dropdown now does not contain any font samples. They are shown only when the dropdown expands for the second time. This is a workaround around the font dropdown not showing any scroll bars when opening it first and temporarily freezing Inkscape (MR #2546).

Dialoge

Allgemeines

Andocksystem

Dialogs can now be docked on the left side of the Inkscape window. They're now displayed as tabs, with optional label and icon. The dialog tabs can be combined to new floating docks. Tabs can be closed by middle mouse click, right-click and selecting to close, or by clicking on the x icon.
The previous option to minimize dialogs has been superseded by the new feature.
The work for this big code refactoring was undertaken by Google Summer of Code Student Valentin Ionita in 2020. You can learn more about his work on GitLab (technical documentation).

The dock layout is now remembered across Inkscape sessions (Bug #1422) and the dialogs' size is also remembered (Bug #2213)

When a user requests a dialog to open (e.g. with the keyboard shortcut, or by pressing a button), the dialog will now show a flashing animation, so it will be easier to see it (both when it is actually being opened and when it has already been open).

Design

Arrows on color sliders now have better visibility (MR #2427)

'Über Inkscape'-Dialog

The Help ⯈ About Inkscape dialog has been rebuilt from scratch with a larger window (and image) and a tabbed interface.

  • The user-contributed 'About Screen' artwork is now displayed much larger, as it should be!
  • Authors and translators are now featured on separate tabs, email addresses are no longer shown and the order of names is randomized (MR #2497).
  • A new License tab offers a brief explanation of Inkscape licensing.
  • All the tabs include calls to action or links to the official website for more information.
  • The current version of Inkscape is displayed on a button. When clicked, the full version information is copied to the clipboard, so it can be used in bug reports, for example.
  • In the bottom right corner, there is an additional small button with a little beetle on it. Clicking that button will copy extensive information about available software library versions, in addition to operating system and Inkscape version information.

Dokumenteinstellungen

Viele Video Formate sind jetzt im Reiter 'Seite' des Dokumenteigenschaften-Dialogs auswählbar (MR #1314).

Füllung und Kontur

  • The stroke's width can now be set to Hairline in the dialog at Object ⯈ Fill and stroke ⯈ Stroke Style (as a unit). This type of stroke is always 1px wide, independent of the zoom level. The feature will hopefully one day be useful for laser cutting and plotting (MR #846)
    • Hairline strokes can (theoretically) be exported to file formats with native hairline support (PDF/PS), but this requires a code change in the Cairo software library, which has not been accepted (yet), so the PS/PDF hairline export feature will not yet be available in any official packages. If unavailable, a very thin line width will be used instead (1px at the "1:1 zoom" level of the output).
    • In other SVG renderers, hairlines will be handled via non-scaling stroke with a stroke width of 1px.
    • Export to PNG and rendering on canvas will use a line width of 1px.
  • The Miter maximum has been increased to 100000 (Bug #1996)
  • Stock markers use SVG 2.0 context-stroke to automatically take on the stroke color of the object (MR #2009). If SVG 1.1 compatibility is needed, the setting for marker colors in Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Input/Output ⯈ SVG export can be activated and SVG 1.1 compatibility can be activated in the 'Save as' dialog.

Filtereditor

When right-clicking on a filter in the filter list, there is an option called 'Select' now to select all objects which are using that filter.

"Suchen/Ersetzen"-Dialog

It's now possible to also search in 'desc' and 'title' attributes of objects (MR #1310)

Alter Dialog zum Bearbeiten von Farbverläufen entfernt

The legacy gradient editor (a dialog that could previously be enabled in the preferences for the gradient tool) has been removed. A replacement may be added in a later version (MR #2015).

Einstellungsdialog

  • The preferences dialog now features a search bar, which performs a recursive search over all the nested categories of settings:
    • press F3 or Ctrl + G for next result
    • press Shift + F3 or Ctrl + Shift+G for previous result
  • In Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Rendering, there is a new option to Redraw while editing, which improves performance of redrawing with some faster CPUs ("Responsive", active by default, or "Conservative").
  • In Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Behavior ⯈ Scrolling, the setting Mouse wheel zooms by default has been removed. This setting can now be set by disabling the modifier 'Ctrl' for Canvas zoom, and enabling it for Vertical pan instead (see section about 'Customization' below for more information).
  • The Zoom correction factor in Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Interface now works correctly for other units than mm and remembers values below 100%.
  • There is an option now in Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Interface: Show zoom percentage corrected by factorto adjust the number shown in the Zoom field in the bottom right corner of the Inkscape window to match the real world scale. The new option is active by default, so that, after adjusting the factor for your monitor, at 100% zoom, your document page is as large on the screen as it is in reality.
  • In Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Interface: Cursor size, the option to Enable cursor scaling allows users to work around too large and unsharp cursors in some cases (MR #2432)
  • Removed favorite languages from Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Spellcheck, as they did not work properly. Language can still be selected in the Spellcheck dialog itself (MR #2527).
  • Added an option to Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Imported Images : Import : Store absolute filepath for linked images, that allows you to decide whether you'd like to save the absolute path of a linked image in the file. This allows you to move the SVG file around on your disk with more confidence, but it also exposes your computer's file structure more, if you share the image with others (Bug #526).

Symboldialog

Symbol search now also takes symbol name translations into account (Issue #1804)

"Text und Schriftart"-Dialog

  • Removed the 'Close' button and the icon on the 'Apply' button (MR #2523)
  • Users can now customize the font sample text in the preferences for the Text tool (e.g. to include their own language's special characters; MR #2537)

"Bitmap nachzeichnen"-Dialog

  • Following better UI guidelines, the 'OK' button was renamed to 'Apply' (Bug UX#1291)
  • An option to optimize the result of 'Tracing pixelart' was added (Bug #1137)

Begrüßungsdialog

A new Welcome and onboarding screen was added.

In its first tab, you can set up the theme for Inkscape, in the second tab, you will find links to our website, where you can learn how to support the project. The last tab gives you a choice between various document formats and recently used files.

To select a file/format to open, click on it and then use the Load button. You can also double-click on any of the files and file format icons (faster). To open the default template, click on the 'New document' button.

The appearing of the dialog can be deactivated either by a checkbox in its last tab, or in Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Windows: Miscellaneous.

XML-Dialog

  • When a text span is selected, it can be edited in a proper text entry field now (MR #1977)
  • When a nested group is selected, that exact group can now also be moved around on-canvas (Bug #1266)

Filter

  • Ein neuer Filter für "Schnelles Freistellen" findet sich unter Filter ⯈ Füllung und Transparenz ⯈ Schnelles Freistellen. Die Anfasser können mit dem Knotenwerkzeug verschoben werden, um einen rechteckigen Bereich freizustellen (MR #2767).

Pfadeffekte

Allgemeines

Automatisches Erhalten der Füllung bei Pfadeffekten

LPEs which render strokes as fills (Join Type, Power Stroke and Taper Stroke) have been modified to automatically preserve the previous fill by creating a linked clone with the original fill color when applied to an object (MR #1969).

Pfadeffekt "Boole'sche Operationen"

  • The path effect is no longer marked as experimental!
  • Some operations that did not work reliably had to be removed (cut, cut inside, cut outside, MR #2810)
  • Operands can now easily be selected and moved with the mouse.
  • Improved stability

Pfadeffekt "Zwischen vielen füllen"

A new item Fill between Paths has been added under the Path menu to automatically create a linked fill path using the Fill between many path effect. The effect is created beneath the selected paths and then automatically selected to facilitate moving the path into the correct z-order and styling it as intended. For greater efficiency, a shortcut can also be assigned, using the Preferences dialog (MR #1973).

This is especially useful for filling variable-width paths created with the PowerStroke option (or other Live Path Effects that use the fill to emulate a stroke).

Pfadeffekt "Versatz"

  • The Offset LPE's performance was improved for more complex shapes.
  • Open paths can now have an offset that is not automatically closed.

Pfadeffekt "Zerschneiden" (neu)

This new path effect allows you to split an object into two (or more by stacking multiple LPEs), without destroying the original.

It works with groups, shapes, and paths. If you want to use it on text, you need to use the 'Clone' LPE and apply the 'Slice' LPE on this clone. It also allows changing styles for the resulting parts, because each part is a separate object (MR #2372)

Pfadeffekt "Pfad verjüngen"

The 'Taper Stroke' LPE has been updated to include taper direction options (allowing the taper to run to one side of the path, instead of to the middle) and smoothing options for both ends of the path, allowing more interesting paths to be made in the effect.

In addition, Shift+clicking on the on-canvas handles allows quickly alternates between the different possible taper shapes.

Import / Export

Import

  • Inkscape can now recognize layers in SVG files exported from CorelDraw (MR #2046)
  • When importing a DXF file, a new option for setting the text scale factor is available now (Bug extensions#321)

Export

"PNG-Bild exportieren"-Dialog

  • The default export area when nothing is selected is now 'Page'. This leads to the 'Custom' tab being initialized with the coordinates of the page, so it should be rarer to accidentally get an invalid export area of 0x0 px size. When deselecting an object, the export area mode is now set back to the one it had before 'Selection', which can be 'Page', 'Drawing' or 'Custom' (and not always 'Drawing')(MR #1587).
  • The Export PNG Image dialog now exports the PNG as soon as the button Export as has been clicked and a file name was selected for the file. It's no longer necessary to explicitly click on Export after choosing a file name. Clicking on Export will still be available to export to the file name that is currently set in the dialog (MR #2080).
  • Use the file name extensions '.jpg', '.webp' or '.tiff' in the PNG export dialog to open the corresponding export options and export to the selected file format. In the file chooser that opens after clicking on 'Export as', there is also a dropdown menu available to choose the file format. 'Optimized PNG' is available there as an additional option (as it uses the same file name extension, it's not possible to auto-detect). The export functionality is implemented using a Python extension of the new 'Raster Output' type.

Weitere Exportformate

  • HPGL (for plotting): the speed can now be set for each Pen independently, using layer names (Bug extensions#277)
  • GPL (Gimp palette): named custom swatch colors' names are now included in the resulting .gpl file (Commit extensions#2e08b0b)

Einstellmöglichkeiten und Anpassung

Mauszeiger

A set of SVG-based, themeable mouse cursors with HiDPI support were added.

These new cursors are coupled with the icon themes. The default set (hicolor theme) is stored in ~inkscape\share\inkscape\icons\hicolor\cursors.

To override them with your personal cursors while keeping the selected theme, your user configuration directory needs to supply the following structure to Inkscape:

inkscape (this is your user preferences directory, its location depends on your operating system)
⤷ icons
  ⤷ <theme_id>
    ⤷ cursors
      ⤷ adjust_alpha.svg
      ⤷ adjust_hue.svg
      ⤷ adjust_lightness.svg
      ⤷ …
⤷ preferences.xml

More information can be found on the SVG Cursors page.

Tastaturkürzel

  • In Edit ⯈ Preferences ⯈ Interface ⯈ Keyboard, in the new Modifiers tab, you can customize keyboard shortcut modifiers for on-canvas mouse actions or disable the shortcut entirely (for example holding Ctrl for scaling while keeping the object's aspect ratio can be changed to Shift; MR #2070)
  • Keyboard shortcut files for Inkscape can now inherit from other keyboard shortcut files by using XInclude (MR #1150)
  • Illustrator keyboard shortcut map has been updated to include a few more common and up-to-date shortcuts (Bug #2109, MR #2069)

Themes

  • A more compact Minwaita theme (derived from Adwaita) has been added, with a light and a dark mode
  • The win32 theme has been improved by adding some custom adjustments
  • Many small tweaks and refinements in to Multicolor icon pack

Änderungen unter macOS

Erweiterungen

Neue Funktionen

  • "Bar code" extension now accepts tildes, too (Commit extensions#e096225)
  • The extensions "Function Plotter" and "Parametric Curves" now support more mathematical functions and constants, and can even make use of the random() function (Commit extensions#70d53ae7)
  • "Lorem ipsum" extension can now flow text into selected shapes, so the generated text changes along with any further changes of the shape, instead of only creating a text in the shape of the selection (Bug extensions#122)

Erweiterungsmanager (Beta)

A new extension was added to Inkscape, which allows users to access a repository containing community-vetted Python extensions on the inkscape.org website from inside the Inkscape program.

The feature is considered beta currently, but will improve mid-cycle as it is able to update itself by its own installation mechanism.

It works by creating a virtual Python environment in the extensions subdirectory. Extensions are uploaded by their creators as zip files into the Extensions gallery on the website, and then need to undergo a review process by trusted community members who will then sign the uploads with their GPG signature.

To ask for a review, extension developers are supposed to contact Inkscape's extensions team in the chat. Some wait time is to be expected, so please be patient with your request.

Structure and requirements (beyond that they must comply with the community's Code of Conduct) are not defined or documented yet, so be open to having to make changes to your files during the review. Find more information, updates about and known issues with the Extensions Manager here.

As a user, note that 100% security cannot be guaranteed. Use the new feature with care.

On Windows, the Extensions Manager comes as an optional installable component for the exe and msi packaging formats, so administrators can decide whether they want to allow their users to download user-contributed extensions from the internet.

Änderungen der Erweiterungs-API für Entwickler

  • Breaking change: Python 2 is no longer supported, extensions require at least Python 3.6 (Bug extensions#351)
  • Breaking change: Element.description() is now Element.desc. The new form now includes Element.desc = "some value" for setting the attribute, and Element.title, which works the same way as desc (only for the title/tooltip) and didn't exist before.
  • Element selections API has been improved, the API in 1.0 of using self.svg.selected is deprecated in favour of the new self.svg.selection interface. The previous API will continue to work for the time being but should be updated to the new API. Selection is now a type of ElementList which provides filtering, ordering and other generalised functionality. If you need an element list, for example to make a bounding box, this is the way to do it.
  • New:

If you were using inkex.command.inkscape(), there should be no need to update for the latest Inkscape, it should just work.

Hinter den Kulissen

Many new tests have been added to the extensions code, so developers will more easily be able to know whether their code changes introduce bugs in extensions.

Kommandozeile

  • The color mode of exported PNG files can now be set on the command line with --export-png-color-mode (options: Gray_1|Gray_2|Gray_4|Gray_8|Gray_16|RGB_8|RGB_16|GrayAlpha_8|GrayAlpha_16|RGBA_8|RGBA_16; MR #2339)
  • To export a file using arbitrary export formats provided by an extension of the 'output' type, one can use the new --export-extension parameter now (MR #2294 with more details)
  • The --export-type option now supports (MR #771):
    • exporting to multiple formats at once, e.g. inkscape --export-type=png,pdf in.svg
    • exporting a single input file to multiple export formats and rename them in the process (will produce out.png and out.pdf), e.g. inkscape --export-type=png,pdf --export-file=out in.svg
    • exporting multiple files to multiple export formats, e.g. inkscape --export-type=png,pdf in1.svg in2.svg
  • Added actions for aligning and distributing objects (MR #2472)
  • Interactive shell mode (MR #1495):
    • a history of commands is now remembered and can be accessed with the up and down arrow keys
    • auto-completion of actions (at start of line) and filenames
    • command line editing is now possible

Hinter den Kulissen

Inkscape developers have also worked on improving and evolving parts of Inkscape which are not directly visible to the users. Indirectly, these changes will also benefit the users, as they make it easier for developers to work with the project, and help them make fewer mistakes.

  • Documentation for developers was updated and improved continuously, helping developers better understand other people's code
  • Refactoring: Outdated code was updated continuously, making it easier to handle the code moving forwards. This includes a continued effort to convert old C code to modern C++, removing dead code and rewriting parts of the code in a more modern way.
  • Code formatting was improved continuously, improving readability of the code
  • Continuous integration was updated and improved continuously, ensuring that each code change will be tested automatically and can be reviewed by bug reporters before it is included into the main line code, also keeping up with changes in GitLab, AppVeyor and other infrastructure that is used by Inkscape
  • Improvements were made to the build system, so Inkscape can be built on more Linux, Windows and macOS versions, keeping up with changes in software libraries that Inkscape depends upon
  • Many tests were added and improved, reducing the risk of accidental loss of functionality
  • The conversion process from verbs to actions was continued
  • Running test versions on Windows was simplified by adding shortcuts to the top level folder: Run Inkscape !.bat, Run Inkscape and create debug trace.bat, Run Inkscape with GTK Inspector.bat (Bug inbox#4615)

Bekannte Probleme

  • To undock a dialog on Windows, it is currently necessary to drag it out of the Inkscape window (Bug #2216)
  • The option to quickly collapse a set of dialogs is currently not yet available. As a workaround, pressing F12 can be used to gain space on the canvas quickly. (Bug inbox#4676)
  • New docked notebooks can not be added on the canvas-facing side of another docked notebook (Bug inbox#4915)
  • Spellchecking is currently broken on macOS. (Bug #1496)
  • The new raster image export formats do not work with the batch export option

Many of Inkscape's old bug reports still need to be tested and migrated to the new bug and feature request reporting page. While some progress has already been made, we still need your help with that task.

All (migrated and new) open issues for the project are listed on GitLab. If you have some time on your hands and can help fixing them, join us in the development chat and let us tackle them together.
