I was actually thinking as well that inkscape lacks this kind of feature
that improves greatly productivity and ease of use on complexed documents.
I think what you suggest (and I would suggest too) is window like the
Object manager of Corel Draw:
- provides a tree of leyers and groups
- provides small description of paths or shapes in group
- allows easy selection, easy grouping (multiple selection)
- allows naming of objects (would be changing like the id in inkscape)
- lock/unlock, hide/unhide, printable/non printable flags for each layer
(lock, hide could be extended to each object)
Actually, I'm using the xml editor on a second screen to skip this lack in
inkscape, but it's not that convenient.
Corel provided a view manager as well.. Allow to save the selected view
(center, zoom) and to switch rapidly from one to the other.. But that'd be
another request.
