Blur and opacity slow
by Gero Mudersbach
Dear Inkscape developers,
first of all I wish to thank you for your great work, Inkscape is
extremely useful!
One thing I noticed is that using blur and sometimes opacity makes
Inkscape behave slow. It's not only when moving / scaling objects that
have blur or opacity values applied but also the whole document
editing seems to be slower then. It would be great if these features
could be optimized in one of the next versions. Please let me know if
I should file a bug report on this request.
Best

Tango Icons Ready
by jf barraud
Hi,
I only know the "wrong" way to enable experimental lpes: uncomment the line
#define LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS
in src/live_effects/effect.cpp.
The right way is via some switch in some config file but I'm not sure. Under
windows, I think it's a matter of changing one line in build.xml...
*BUT*
These effects are in fact experiemental: only use them for
testing/debugging/commenting. An experimental lpe will almost surely undergo
deep modifications before it becomes non experimental. Either the very
definition of its parameters or the way it is rendered might be affected,
and in both cases all art work based on it will be lost! So use carfully.
(and of course, if you enabled experimental lpes in the "wrong" way, don't
forget not to commit this change to svn!)
Some lpes are in good shape however. What is needed to enable them is a good
collection of tests cases... So if your favorite lpe is still hidden,
consider supplying a test file for it.

0.47 splash contest?
by Alexandre Prokoudine
Hi,
It seems that there is a general agreement that we are moving to .47
release phase. Should we start thinking about a splash contest then?
With winning image going to 0.47 and 2nd place -- to .48/SVN like the
last time?

Problem noticed with preferences
by Jon A. Cruz
In working on some code debugging, I noticed that the preferences
were not loaded as the program was first using them. Among other
immediate issues this had blocked some debug toggle code from ever
being invoked.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/367752
As the program starts, preferences are just set to the defaults but
not loaded. Then part-way through startup they *do* get loaded. So
among other things bits of code might be initialized one way and used
another.
It would be very helpful if anyone who is looking into a bug might
check to see if this is complicating the issue they are working on.
If so, then there might be a few cascaded bugs we can reproduce now
and then close as soon as the prefs initialization is fixed.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Tooltips in 0.47
by John & Melonie Curwood
Thanks for your Advice Diederik and Alexandre, with regards, to the
tools tips, I think once you are proficient with using Inkscape, you
won't notice the contents of the tools tips as you know what each Icon
stands for. When you are a novice and are just learning Inkscape,
(Which I was not so long ago you are constantly reading the tooltips to
make sure you are using the right tool and at the same time noticing
the keyboard shortcut, and after a few times using a particular tool,
you start to remember the shortcut and then start using it, which helps
you to become more proficient with Inkscape.
Cheers,
John

SVG Filter Effects and Raster filters
by Ivan Louette
Is there any plan to make Raster filters non destructive ?
Or perhaps a more long term proposal for SVG people : adding "Raster filter" (or matrix filter) as a primitive in SVG Filters.
