Change stroke widths togheter proportionally

[ivan louette]

For artistic drawing it would be useful to be able to change together proportionally the stroke widths of several selected objects.
A slider and an input box could be added for that in the fill and outline dialogues with "+", "-" and "Average" possibilities.

See an example here : http://home.tele2allin.be/vt6326223/images/linewidthstogheter.svg

Could be added to Inkscape Sculpt and Paint Tool.

This bug seems to be a subset of bug #171475. AKA, if we fixed #171475, #284896 would also go away. If no one objects I will assign this as a duplicate.

I don't see how this is related to the "sculpt and paint" tool, unless that tool was different a year and a half ago.

It has a part in common with bug#171475 but isn't a duplicate. What is important here is that the changes are simultaneous and proportional. If you have three lines selected together with respectively 2, 4 and 6 pix width, if you increase them two times their three widths become 4, 8 and 12 and if you decrease them two times they become 1, 2 and 3, like on my new attachment.

Thus the question isn't to give all three lines the same witdh but decrease their width together proportionally.

However it isn't logically linked with Sculpt and paint tool because in this tool the object are modified individually.

Thus one should add a tool which gives the same kind of change to all selected objects together and the present wishlist/bug would be only a part of it.

@Ivan - have you tried using the '%' unit in the Stroke &Fill > Stroke style' tab?

If I have a selection of objects with different stroke width, and change the stroke width to 80%, the width of each selected object is reduced by 80%.

Thanks ! You are right ! I completely missed it !!!
