It shares some similarities with the Layers dialog (see part 9 of this series), and can largely be used as a replacement for it if you wish – although I prefer the simplicity of the old dialog. At the top is the hierarchy of objects in your drawing, with groups and layers displayed as collapsible entries that can be opened to reveal the objects within them, or closed to hide the clutter. The lower section provides buttons for adding layers, deleting selected objects, “Collapse All” (more on that in a moment), and buttons for moving individual objects up or down in the list (which, in turn, moves them up and down in the z-order). There’s a pop-up for selecting a blend mode – which can now be easily applied to any object. Previously, only layers could easily have blend modes applied; other objects required a trip to the filter editor, so this is a welcome addition. It’s also possible to set the blur and opacity of the selected object, group or layer.** | It shares some similarities with the Layers dialog (see part 9 of this series), and can largely be used as a replacement for it if you wish – although I prefer the simplicity of the old dialog.

**As for that “Collapse All” button, what it actually does is collapse every top level layer or group except the one that the currently selected object is in. This is a common theme for this dialog – right-click on an object in the tree and you’ll be presented with a wide range of options in a context menu, in which several choices (those from the “Solo” and “Lock All” sections) actually work on top-level layers and groups, regardless of how deeply nested the object is that you clicked on. | **As for that “Collapse All” button, what it actually does is collapse every top level layer or group except the one that the currently selected object is in.

**To the left of the object tree, you’ll have noticed that there are five other columns, with terse titles that only make sense once you’ve hovered over each of them to read the tooltip. The first and second should be familiar from the Layers dialog – they toggle the visibility and locked state of each object. At last there’s an easy way to unlock individual objects: many new users have found themselves tempted by the Lock option in the Object Properties dialog, only to then find that they could no longer select the object to unlock it! The third column, nominally “Type”, holds an icon to indicate whether the item is an object, layer or group. As you may recall, SVG doesn’t actually have a concept of layers, so Inkscape implements them as groups with some extra metadata. An interesting extra in this dialog is the ability to click on the Type icon of a layer to turn it into a group, or vice versa. | **To the left of the object tree, you’ll have noticed that there are five other columns, with terse titles that only make sense once you’ve hovered over each of them to read the tooltip.

The next column is supposed to show an icon to indicate whether an object is clipped and/or masked. In my screenshot, you can see the effect on the clipped spiral, however my copy of Inkscape does not show an icon there for masked objects, despite the claim of the tooltip. In this case the icon is purely informative; | The next column is supposed to show an icon to indicate whether an object is clipped and/or masked.

**Let’s take a look at the context menu that appears when you right-click on any entry in the object tree. The first two entries let you rename the selected item (more easily done by double clicking on the label) and duplicate it (the same as pressing CTRL-D). The third item should probably be called “New Layer” for clarity, as it opens the new layer dialog regardless of what type of object was clicked on in the tree. This seems like a pointless addition to the context menu given that there’s a dedicated button for this on the dialog. | **Let’s take a look at the context menu that appears when you right-click on any entry in the object tree.

The “Solo” option takes its name from music software, in which it is used to mute all the other tracks so that you can easily work on just one. In Inkscape, it hides all the top level layers and groups, except for the one that the selected item is in. It doesn’t hide other elements that are in the same group, so it acts as a literal “solo” option only if each of your objects is in its own group or layer. It should probably also be renamed to “Hide Others” for consistency with the “Lock” options that follow in the next group. “Up”, “Down”, “Group” and “Ungroup” are fairly self-evident, | The “Solo” option takes its name from music software, in which it is used to mute all the other tracks so that you can easily work on just one.

**The new “Create Clip Group” option is also present on the context menu for an object but, despite experimenting with it myself and searching online, it appears that nobody really seems to know what it’s for, artistically speaking. Choosing this option will group any selected objects, then clip them with a clone of the group. Quite why you would want to do this – and especially why anyone wants to do it so frequently that it needs an entry on the context menu – is beyond me. I can think of a couple of esoteric situations in which this kind of structure is useful, but nothing that isn’t made clearer by creating it step-by-step. If anyone has any good ideas about this one, please let me know! | **The new “Create Clip Group” option is also present on the context menu for an object but, despite experimenting with it myself and searching online, it appears that nobody really seems to know what it’s for, artistically speaking.

Moving on from the Objects dialog, 0.91 also introduced some small UI improvements that can have a big effect on how you use Inkscape. The first is the ability to enter simple calculations into spinboxes (the numeric fields with up/down arrows next to them). You can use the usual symbols for the main arithmetic operations of addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*) and division (/), as well as brackets to group parts of the calculation. Any simple numbers will be used in the current units that are set for the field, but you can also append a unit name (e.g. “pt”, “mm” or “px”) to individual numbers to have them converted for you. For example the following, when applied to a field set as “mm”, will result in a value of 45.4mm: 10 + 1in + 1cm** | Moving on from the Objects dialog, 0.91 also introduced some small UI improvements that can have a big effect on how you use Inkscape.

**Because the spinbox typically shows the current value of the parameter, you can often just tack bits of a calculation onto the end, then hit the RETURN key. Do you need a field to be 50% wider? Just add “*1.5” to the end of its value. Want to reduce it by 1cm, regardless of the current value? Just append “-1cm”. | **Because the spinbox typically shows the current value of the parameter, you can often just tack bits of a calculation onto the end, then hit the RETURN key.

Although there’s no Duplicate button, the Guideline dialog has gained a few other features. It’s now possible to name your guides (the label appears in small text by the anchor point), give them individual colors, and lock them against accidental movement. This can make guides much more useful when setting up a common template page that might be used as the basis of multiple similar documents in future.** | Although there’s no Duplicate button, the Guideline dialog has gained a few other features.

**Another UI addition that is particularly welcome is a new section in the Inkscape preferences for setting keyboard shortcuts. You can get to it by opening the preferences from Edit > Preferences (or SHIFT-CTRL-P by default), then drilling down to Interface > Keyboard Shortcuts. There’s a drop-down list at the top to let you select from a range of preset options, which could be especially useful if you’re coming to Inkscape from another product. As has become the norm with these kinds of dialogs in GTK programs, setting a new shortcut is done by highlighting the row you wish to modify, then clicking in the “Shortcut” column – either on the existing shortcut, or the blank space if there isn’t a shortcut defined for the operation you’ve selected. The field will populate with some text that says “New accelerator…” or something similar, which is your cue to press the keyboard shortcut you wish to assign. Note that there’s no warning if you use a shortcut that’s currently assigned to another operation – it will just be removed from the old command and assigned to the new one – so you may wish to choose your shortcuts carefully. If you want to remove a shortcut entirely, press the BACKSPACE key when prompted for the new accelerator. | **Another UI addition that is particularly welcome is a new section in the Inkscape preferences for setting keyboard shortcuts.
