> Don't know if SVG supports multi-page documents
It was in the draft specification and then it wasn't. There is another
request open for that:
1009291 Multiple Pages Support - SVG 1.2 Compliance
https:/
>> C'mon guys,
Dont be like that. Inkscape is a project run entirely by unpaid
volunteers. developers choose to work on whatever takes their interest.
No one can be forced to implement anything but more importantly whoever
decides to implement multipage documents will have a whole lot of
discretion on how the user interface is implemented. You never know you
might actually get a tabbed interface.
> tabbed browsing in Inkscape should be a complete nobrainer.
Inkscape is not a browser, and a tabbed document interface (TDI) only
really makes sense if you have a very large collection of documents to view
and manage, as opposed to editing a handful of drawings. A tabbed
interface or collection manager for the Inkview component might make more
sense.
Asking for solutions to solve problems and giving the developers the
freedom to solve them in the way they think best is also far more
convincing than asking for a specific feature or implementation without a
task and ways to measure success or determine if things really are
improved.
Also inkscape will need to have an interface to display multipage
documents (ODG, PDF, and planned for SVG) and it is hard to see how that
might work if each document was adding a tab to the already busy interface.
it would certainly help if the original submitter could include
screenshots or mockups of how they think this might work.
this is a duplicate of the older request for tabs but given that the older
request has no named reporter and no details it makes more sense to leave
this open for now. this request is also covered by the request for
multipage documents, the outcome of which could be a tabbed interface or
make inkscape even more crowded and make a tabbed interface a worse idea.
despite that I'll leave this open at a low priority in the hope that
reporter might try to check for duplicates before filing a new request and
find this.
