Inkscape Problem....?....

[Danny]

This just started happening withing the last month.

Open Inkscape....File....Open....Click on pattern.  On the screen will be a box
that says....jpeg GDK pixbuf input.  Has a choice to click either EMBED or LINK.
Have clicked on both....Within seconds the pattern pops up....
                                ALSO
Pattern is there with the lil handles showing.  I go up and click on INCHES.
Lately the Width and Heigth shows a HUGE pattern.  (HIGH NUMBERS)  If I resize
it down to say 8inches by 10inches it gets really small.  This did not EVER happen
back a Month or so.  I did UNINSTALL INKSCAPE and re-installed the latest version.
All remained THE SAME....  Help....  Danny  :+(

Hmmm. Be sure your measurements are set to inches and that your document is set to fill window.

down on the bottom right of the screen are X,Y and Z with a box with a %number (probably a low number). If the large picture is full screen when you resized it, the picture will get smaller, but the screen view stays the same. Go to the % box and increase the number to make the picture larger (I usually work between 70 and 90%). If you have a mouse with a wheel, you can hold down the ctrl key and scroll whe wheel up and down to increase/decrease the window %.
I don't use the open file button, I use import. You will still the the link or embed image screen. Choose embed.
Hope this helps
