Compressed Inkscape SVG with media (*.zip)Īdding the possibility to export SVG 2 to SVG 1.1 adds another set of options. Right now, when selecting to save a file, one is offered the following SVG choices: The "Export PNG Image." entry is moved to the Export block. Kiel hackfest: Suggestion to move SVG export to Save As menu. As export to PNG is a common operation, it has a dedicated menu entry.i Upon selecting SVG as the format, the user will be presented a dialog with various output options (like the PDF dialog), see below. The "Export As." opens the existing "Save As." dialog which will be modified so that there is only one entry for saving SVG. This block adds the new "Overwrite" menu entry. No choice of file type is offered in the dialog popped up by the "Save As.", "Save a Copy.", and "Save a Template." menu entries. The "Save Template." entry remains in this block as (I believe) there is no data loss in creating a template. This was remedied by the "Overwrite" menu entry.
The major complaint when Gimp moved to this model was the extra steps needed to replace an imported file. This section, following Gimp, handles only lossless saves.
"Revert" remains here (in contrast to Gimp's structure) as it can be seen as a file open operation. In addition, there is some minor regrouping of menu items. Move SVG lossy outputs to a dialog (accessed from selecting ".svg" as file type).Here is a proposal to restructure the process. File output, especially as SVG, is getting quite complicated.
