Category: Import Group: GIT version Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Konstantin Dmitriev (zelgadis_ksee) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Current SVG import should be invoked through File->Open Initial Comment: In Synfig Studio "File -> Import" used to link external file into canvas. Currently when you use File-Import to add SVG file, it's not linked, but included into canvas. It's more logical to use File-Open for that purpose. In that case we can use "File-Import" to link SVG files like we did in 0.61.09. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Konstantin Dmitriev (zelgadis_ksee) Date: 2012-12-26 04:17 Message: This bugtracker is no longer active.

My python Inkscape extension can actually be run as a standalone script (still requires Inkscape, though), so if lack of built-in SVG import turns out to be a huge problem we should be able to work something out. My choice of an alternative name for the "Import" menu option would be "Place" or "Place Image" (borrowed from InDesign). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Konstantin Dmitriev (zelgadis_ksee) Date: 2012-03-19 06:07 Message: My suggestion is that after moving SVG import to File-> Open it will be changed to create new document instance as soon as you call it. Like this: user chooses File-> Open, selects SVG file and clicks open. Then the new document is created with the contenst of SVG file inserted there. Another evolution of this idea might be allowing to open images too. I.e. you can link image to currently active document (via File -> Import), or you can open image (via File -> Open - that results in creating the new synfig document instance, with width & height corresponding to image, and imported image right to size there). About the "Import" menu item: I agree its name is a bit off. "Link" is more suitable for that. Talking about overall Synfig terminology - there are many places where it should be reviewed and changed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Rylander (rylleman) Date: 2012-03-19 05:06 Message: I think open is not the right way to treat importing of this. Traditionally "open" opens a document into its own instance. What you're talking about is opening into another already open document, ie importing. In my opinion there should be two ways to import, linking to the original file or appending to include the file content into the current file. I have started a forum topic on this but not yet an feature request here at the tracker.
