Inkscape

edit / find options

Asked by gg

can you tell me if there are options to find similar color shapes or objects using the edit / search window

for example: if i want to select all objects with the same color than one selected in one layer
or all objects with the same stroke
or all objects with the same style
no matter what kind it is

would it be
style: "color*"
or
style: "style-equal"

or
attribute: "same color"

without using some: "fill:#ff0000" (i mean more general search options without using xml attributes)

thank you

This is not implemented. You may create a blueprint for this advanced search feature (if not present) or implement it youself ;)

as a designer, i m not able to implement it myself, sorry about that.
but i think it would only be a matter of "shortcut" button (like "search same style as selected object")to add in the search dialog, because its possible to do it by copy/paste the style of my selected object from the xml dialog to the search dialog (but a bit complicated to do it that way)

Go ahead and file a well-formed bug report about it, then somebody will mark this as feature request and hopefully pick it up and implement it.
