![]() There should be no need to actually open a GPL file, to install a new palette in Inkscape. I'm still not entirely clear where you went wrong. It has much fewer bugs than 0.48.5! And 0.91 is now the current stable version. I just wanted you to realize there is a difference, in case there was any confusion (and for anyone else reading this some day.) Oh, no worries - the topic is close enough. ![]() I might actually have some of your palette files. But if you're willing to go that far (making a zip file for palettes) a Palettes album would be an awesome addition to the gallery, and entirely do-able! Might even inspire others to make some Probably will need to use the image (PNG) for the thumbnail. It is an accepted format, and should work, it's just that I've never tried it. But after I finish with that, I'll test uploading a zip file. I'm working on the gallery, at the moment, trying to get the user galleries to have a thumbnail on the front page, like all the other categories. I can't think of any reason why a vector file would be needed, except just for completeness. I think PNG should be sufficient for us though. I think the author included it because it's more "universal" than SVG. I't a zip file with GPL, PDF and PNG files. But the really slick way to do it, would be to have a zip file which contains the GPL file, and then some kind of image, that displays the swatches. Ragnar, I might be able to add GPL as an accepted format. Is there any way to put the swatches in order? But I don't know if a Swatches palette has any text file? I know if I was using a regular palette.well, if it were a palette made in GIMP, I could probably edit the GPL file. So that's curious.but it didn't lead me to a solution. I looked around in the XML Editor, and I really don't see any difference between the def for a swatch-linear gradient and a regular linear gradient. I see that Swatches are id'd as linear gradients, for some reason. However, that doesn't help for any new colors I might be adding later. But it looks like I'm somehow going to have to make a list of all the colors, then create a new palette with them in the right order. ![]() So it would just make it more convenient for me, if they were side by side. Some were added 3 or 4 spaces away from its companion. ![]() But I didn't add them one after the other. Basically they are the color with ff for alpha, and the same color with 7d for the alpha part (which is roughly 50% opacity). Each time I save a new color as a Swatch, it gets added to the right end of the palette.ĭoes anyone know how to put those in any certain order?įor example, I have a bunch of pairs of colors. But I can't figure out how to control the order of the swatches' display in the palette. I hope the video helps expand understanding and use of this powerful, free software.I'm working with Swatches for the first time (well the 1st time in a serious way), and I've made a little custom palette for a document template. I have made a short video tutorial describing the actions necessary and how to manipulate the pattern size and scale within Inkscape. As you can see on the right in the image above, I think I figured it out! I recently had need to see how fabric would read in a design, so I set out to see if it was possible within Inkscape. I did not know if it was possible, and the best I had previously done was use the eyedropper tool to fill in the designs with solid colors from fabrics, as seen on the left in the image above. This is something that is definitely a huge plus for the Electric Quilt design software, and I was hoping I could figure out a way to use the free Inkscape software package to do the same. One of the things I have wanted to learn how to do within Inkscape is how to import fabric swatches and use the fabric swatches in my designs.
