Copyig an object having a gradient applied to its fill

Hi David,

the last four buttons in the Selection Tool's tool control bar control this kind of behaviour:

Thanks Maren, but I still can't achieve identical copies. I'll have to
abandon Inkscape and use another programme.

Regards
David

Still cannot produce straightforward copies. Have abandoned Inkscape

I have solved this.

Use File/Export PNG Image to export the object to a .PNG file, then import it back.

Laughably simple !

So now you haven't created a duplicate, but a bitmap copy (which can not be edited anymore).
This can be achieved more easily by selecting the object, then going to Edit -> Bitmap Copy.

Tbh., though, I don't believe that this is what you wanted as a result.

Please enable all the four buttons I told you about, then select all the objects that you want to duplicate/copy, hit Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V at the place where you want to put the copy. This will not move any gradients in any Inkscape version that I know, and on any operating system that Inkscape can be installed one (which ones are yours?)

You can also duplicate an object, by hitting Ctrl+D. In that case, the duplicate will be placed exactly above the original, and you may have to drag it a bit, to see there are actually two objects now.

Also keep in mind that 0.91pre4 is a prerelease version for the pre-previous version, so it's outdated and not deemed a stable version. If you want to use a stable version, you can switch to 0.92.1. Any version with a 'pre' in its name is not stable.

Kind Regards,
 Maren

Thank you for taking the trouble to explain all that. I have tried all of it
and was successful.
I will also install version 0.90.1.

David
