Inkscape

Summary of all objects?

Asked by Tiefflieger

Hi,

I'm new to vector based graphic programs, but I do know a _little_ about photoshop (such as groups, layer or masks).

I am wondering how I can get an overview of all my painted (and possibly invisible) objects like polylines, circles etc.. I'm thinking of some kind of per-layer-tree-view of these objects, that would be very usefull, especially with bigger images with multiple layers. I can't find such a function (even not on the "layer" display), am I missing some kind of option? If not, consider this as a "nice-to-have-request" ;-)

Thanks in advance,

Tiefflieger

at the moment, the only way to see a tree view like this is to delve into
the XML viewer. (Edit > XML Editor)
there is a need for a view like the one you are searching for, in fact, i
think i did a feature request for it a while back...

I'd second that, just tell me where ;-)
(I'm aware of the XML-Editor and I'm grateful for it, but in the matter of an object-overview it actually sucks ;-) )

Thanks for the quick answer,

there are plans to solve that problem, ether through Layers palette or XML editor tree, see bug 181578
