yes, it is possible (even in 1.6.x and in older versions). but afaik you have to ungroup the .svg first.

O.C. I could. But it involves math, although simple I can make mistakes easily.

Is there any way of changing colors of an SVG?
It would be soooo helpfull...

As I understand it, it is not possible in 1.6.x
Is it in in 1.7 ?

Yes it seems to be a little bit inacurate by times.
It works! But Sometimes it doesn't. I zoom a little bit and it works!

In 1.6.4 it is not possible to use a negative value.
If it is possible my life is easier.
I have no strong opinion wrt default direction.

To nobody surprise, I prefer not to have a configuration for this.

As I wrote and as you also noted, it's easy to get used to the one or the other. (And typing the other one, should be as easy as typing a negative number).

More often than not, the desire for a thing to be configurable, is a sign that it is simply not good enough...

in inkscape the rotation input field in the lower left corner uses positive values to rotate clockwise. but this just rotates the view of the document, not a selection. when rotating a selection with 'object' → 'transform' → 'rotate' the direction has to be selected before a click on 'apply' does the trick. (the default is counterclockwise for positive values...)
...and in autocad the direction can be defined in the settings.

in the beginnings of cad (i worked in the eighties with such a system...) the direction was counterclockwise. but as a sailor – used to work with a compass – i prefer it clockwise...

what's best for anyone? do we need it selectable?

for me it does (in 1.6.4 and 1.7.0) – at least as long as 'snap to guides' is active.
