Inkscape

Why do the preferences say 1 thing and the actual drawing say another?

Asked by Lisa Barr

I am trying to change the defaults on Inkscape Preferences.

I am using the Beizer tool. (but it is the same with the pencil & the pen)

i draw a line, in Fill/Stroke I change the width to .010.
Then I got to Inkscape preferences.

Since I can't find Bezier, I choose pencil, I click the radio button "This Tools' Own Style" and the choose the bar "Take Last Selection" (It did the same thing when I chose Pen)

it changes the information above the "Take Last Selection" to Fill: nothing Stroke: 0.9

WHY??????

Shouldn't it be .10?

Is this a bug? Should I be reporting it on the bug list?

I can upload a .pdf file of what I"m talking about, but I can't figure out how to do it.

try downloading the last development version, it might solve all your problems at once. you can get it here

to get directly to the preference of a tool, just double click it.

I figured it out.

I had the stroke set to .010 INCHES
The preferences show .9 PIXELS

.01 inches = .9 pixels

Sure wish there was a way to change Everything from inches to pixels & vice versa, instead of it being a bastard with the INKSCAPE Preferences always set to pixels & the document changable to inches.
