    The "enter group" feature also is activated by double clicking the group ... leaving the group can be done by double clicking outside of the group

      I always used node tool, select path then change to select tool but if rotating use the transform panel. Press escape returns to group. Yours is a good tip, many ways to skin that cat.

    Great Video Nick. The hyperlink will also work if you open the svg file in a web browser. Double clicking groups with the select tool will enter them. That needing to reset thing is certainly a bug.

      Quick request for the Inkscape developer: Is it possible to have the rest 'faded out' when you enter a group double-clicking, like it is in Illustrator? Maybe for Inkscape 1.4 :)

      @@doctormo Also, I think it would be a great feature for beginners, because it gives visual feedback when you're inside (or outside) a group. Illustrator also shows at the top how deep you are in a (nested) group, but I find that actually annoying, so you could leave that out :)

    The bomb is an appropriate icon for the experimental effects. The only ones I've tried ... crash. Still, cool to see there's more stuff being considered and/or worked on, and to have the ability to help test.

    • @riel4553
      @riel4553 Před 10 měsíci +1

      If the PDF is very long I think Scribus might be a better option.
      As in, create the PDF with Inkscape then switch to Scribus to make the anchors and let Scribus generate the table of contents,.
      I don't think Inkscape would be user-friendly with that task.
