Inkscape 1.1.2 - Hackdot

+1 though I disagree about Gimp. Tried to use it recently too and found the UI to be as much of a mess as Inkscape. All I wanted to do with Inkscape was open an SVG and change the color of one of the paths and re-export it and I could not make heads or tails of the UI.

Would be interesting to see how your mental model of how this should work differs from the inkscape developer's mental model. I would assume there's an easy way to achieve what you wanted to do, wonder why it is so hard to discover it.

Just tried it: open svg, select path, menu: object -> fill & stroke, change the color, menu: file -> save as. Done...

> menu: object -> fill & stroke,

You lose 90% of the people here. One click should make the fill color changeable, two clicks the border color, and bring up / highlight the relevant panel automatically.
