In some other graphical creation tools (Gimp, PaintShop, …), the layer mask is clearly display beside the layer in the layers view. You can generally see a small black and white view of the mask and it's quite convenient. You can also deal with basic operations on the mask through right clic. Perhaps a way for Inkscape ?
More globally, there are two main defaults on mask operations under Inkscape :
- it's not trivial to put a mask on a whole layer as said above, and when the mask is set the layer appears with some pastel colors which make difficult to see the real final result of the creation.
- it's difficult to see which object are masked, only the statusbar when the object is selected give the information, it's not sufficient.
No idea on what is the best ergonomic choice to achieve good resolution of those problems.
