Re: [Gimp-user] Quick copy-pasting between Inkscape and GIMP
Hi. I understand that this could just as well have been posted on the Inkscape mailing list (if there is any) but I'm only a subscriber to this one, so here goes nothing. I'm looking for a faster way to copy-paste things from Inkscape into GIMP. My current procedure involves exporting the drawing from Inkscape to PNG, then opening the PNG in GIMP and copy-pasting it into the image I want to have it in. Is there any faster way? I've just noticed that, when you paste into GIMP any shape copied from Inkscape, such object is appended as new path rather than as new layer, and there seems to be no other possibility. However, once you exported an Inkscape object as a PNG file, a faster way to import this into a GIMP image is to select the special command ' File - Open as Layers ' , through which you will be able to insert the PNG file as new layer along with its handy transparent background. Otherwise, you might try to use an intermediate application between Inkscape and GIMP, like Paint for Windows, that may recognize and paste any Inkscape clipboard as a raster object, that you will afterward copy and paste into GIMP as real layer; unfortunately, this way the transparent background could be lost. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You should also be able to open the SVG file directly rather than first exporting a PNG with that same 'Open as Layers' command. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Before, I opened the PNG, selected all the content, copy, switch to the other image, paste, create new layer.

You've got lots of answers, so there are lots of ways to do this. I open new images (like a PNG) and then click and drag the thumbnail in the layers dialog for that image into another image window and drop it. Don't know if that's faster, but its an easy process for me since I have multiple monitors on which to do this. -- Michael J.
