import text

Migrated from https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170307 🕸

The Idea:

This would pop up a file dialog and the selected file is imported (ascii and UTF-8 Texts are supported)

Additional Information/Comments:

  • new functionality for the Text Editor in the Text and Font panel and the XML Editor. Ideally a minimum of importing plain text (ASCII and UTF-8), additionally parsing HTML/XML formatting?
  • I imagine importing .rtf and .odt would be sticky: what does Inkscape do with that formatting? "Paste with Formatting"? But supporting more than these formats goes beyond the scope of Inkscape IMHO.
  • Possibly a non-issue: copy/paste from outside text editor/word processor.
