You saved me a lot of time.

Thanks for the tip, selecting “Color Markers …” also worked when selecting multiple arrows of different colors.

Hey! Thanks for that entry. It was very useful for me since I spent some time trying to figure out how to make an arrow. Now I know.

Thanks for the tip !

Jamie’s right, on Debian, form lenny on, you’ve got to install the python-lxml package, too.

Thanks for the tip.

I liked Inkscape very much exactly because it is quite intuitive and simple. But this trick is just horrible.

Anyway, your tip helped a lot.

I can not assure what is the earliest version in which I've seen it. The Etch release of Debian (stable) has Inkscape 0.43 too (DistroWatch seems to say that it's 0.44, but my package manager says 0.43), but I am using Lenny (testing), with Inkscape 0.45.

Inkscape 0.45 certainly does have a "Effects" menu (between "Text" and "Whiteboard"). I'd swear 0.43/0.44 also had it, but memory might be failing...

I'm so glad to hear of someone using free software tools on Windows. I hope Inkscape is doing fine for you. Let me strongly encourage you to try Linux. I use Debian, and with it keeping the latest version of the programs installed is a breeze.

Hello
Can you tell me please, in which version of Inkscape the Effects menu apears ? I tried to follow your advice but i can’t find the Effects menu. I’m using Inkscape 0.43 for Windows XP
Thank you,
Ervin
