It's #BugFixFriday!

This week's #HelpWanted #Inkscape issue: the Swatches Dialog in 1.5-dev has a "Use scrollbar" checkbox that doesn't work.

It's misleading, we need to decide if we need it, and why. Designers, That's where you come in!

Also, huge thanks to RdH for updating #Inkscape's CI infrastructure in a tight window, while balancing commitments beyond the project.

This kind of behind-the-scenes work is essential and deeply appreciated. #BugFixFriday

Whew! It's #BugFixFriday again (already)!

This week’s #HelpWanted #Inkscape issue: File → Close on the last window increments “New document 1” to “New document 2” and beyond.

Expected behaviour: the document number shouldn't change.

It's #BugFixFriday y'all!

This week’s #HelpWanted #Inkscape issue: Selecting a gradient stops in the Fill and Stroke Dialog clears its selection highlight on the canvas.

The fix: the selected stop should remain visibly highlighted.

Finally, thank you to everyone who's joined #Inkscape through #BugFixFriday so far!

For the 1st time since we started, two developers are contributing to the same feature. Loving the enthusiasm!

I hope to see their work land ahead of the planned 1.5 alpha at the end of October!

It's bug #BugFixFriday y'all!

This week’s #HelpWanted #Inkscape issue is a small but important improvement for the Object Properties Dialog:

X, Y, Width and Height accept values, but there’s no way to choose their units. We need us a unit selector!

Once again, it's #BugFixFriday! Our #HelpWanted #Inkscape issue is about batch export.

Currently, multiple export entries using the same format share format options, which defeats the purpose of having them exist separately.

We need each entry to keep its own settings.

It's #BugFixFriday! This week’s #HelpWanted #Inkscape issue: options for fading objects when entering groups.

We need someone to implement new UI controls so users can choose how, or whether, other objects fade while working inside a group or layer.

It's #BugFixFriday again! This week’s #HelpWanted #Inkscape issue: The Eraser Tool has a ghost dropdown menu 👻

* Start fresh with the window maximized
* Select Eraser
* Empty overflow menu appears

Expected: only when controls overflow.
