Summary

The goal is to group and sort the Inkscape Preferences dialog's pages. Lots of new things have been added revision after revision, and it's really crowded now... There are several things that must be taken into consideration:

  • How the pages are grouped.
  • How the pages and groups are sorted.
  • Which options should be affected to a different pages.
  • Maybe something else?

Release Note

Changes planned to be merged in 0.49.

Groups

Pages could be grouped as follow:

Tools

(Same group as in 0.48, but reordered so that it reflects the way the tools are actually sorted in the UI).

Interface

  • Windows
  • Grids

Behavior

  • Selection
  • Transforms
  • Scrolling
  • Snapping
  • Steps
  • Clones
  • Clip paths and masks

Input-output

(previously Import/Export)

  • Input devices (previously Mouse)
  • SVG output
  • Bitmap (+"Resolution" from Import/Export)
  • Color management
  • Autosave
  • Openclipart

System

(Mainly the same content as Misc)

  • Performances (threads/cache)
  • Rendering (here or in Filters, not sure).

Don't know yet

(Not a group...)

  • Spell check

Options

  • Interface group (+"simplification" option from Misc)
  • Filters ("Show primitive info" from Rendering)
