I too use an Intuos tablet but I disabled the touch feature because I hate it. I hope modest stylus users like myself won't be forgotten. Cheers, JFL

Offer to help put inkscape on windows store
by Marc Jeanmougin 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi all, I recently discussed on IRC with dwcares from Miscrosoft who wants to help us simplify precesses on windows. Here is his email: === David Washington from Microsoft here. Earlier this afternoon I had conversation with Marc about potentially publishing the Inkscape app to the Windows Store, the app store for Windows 10 PCs. The Windows Store now supports publishing Win32 Desktop apps with little or no code change using the Windows Desktop Bridge. Taking advantage of the Windows Desktop Bridge and Distributing through the Windows Store also provides simplified options for automated updates, easy install and uninstall, and provides a new distribution path for folks who may have not found Inkscape before. Our team has identified Inkscape as a top desktop app that we’d love to see in the Windows Store. Given this we have some resources to help with the process of getting this ported using the Windows Desktop Bridge and published to the Windows Store. The process itself is lightweight, and our team is equipped help walk you through getting it ported and published. We’ve done some early investigation on the Inkscape binaries and we haven’t identified any issues getting it published. If this is something that seems interesting to you, we can get together on the phone and talk through the details for the next steps of getting this published. If you’d rather make progress in email/IRC, we’re happy to accommodate what works for your team. We’re prepared to work with you on getting this published as early as next week. I look forward to working together. I’ve included some folks from my team who will be helping you. Thanks much, David Washington Microsoft | Developer Experience | 206-605-2062 === Eduard, Nicolas or Partha, iirc you're the ones doing stuff on windows, could you take it from here if it seems interesting ? Thanks, -- Mc

Canvas tile size and rendering speed.
by Tavmjong Bah 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hi, It's been known for a while that rendering when zooming in on an area with filters is slow. This is due to Inkscape breaking the canvas into tiles and rendering each tile separately. Filter effects are recalculated for each tile that they touch. A typical canvas for maximized Inkscape window on a 1080p monitor is broken into about 25 tiles. If you are zoomed in so that the filter extends over the entire visible canvas, you are recalculating the filter effect 25 times. I've added a preference under the "Rendering" tab to change the relative tile size (Rendering tile multiplier). Please play with changing the value for your most complex drawings. I am most interested in cases where a large multiplier has a negative impact. If there are no cases with a negative impact, I'll set the default value higher (it is currently 1). Tav

_Commercial products in the wild designed using inkscape - Lava Brew™!
by insaner 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

Hi all, I just wanted to make a much belated announcement. As many of you know, I got involved with Inkscape as a result of the need to design labels, etc, on a very very tight budget for products I was seeking to launch. Well, as of this year, Lava Brew™ ( http://lavabrew.com - https://twitter.com/lavabrew ) has officially gotten off the production line and is now available in stores in the Greater Toronto Area (in Canada)! All graphic design for Lava Brew was done in Inkscape (photo touch-ups in gimp, and some CG elements in blender for promotional material). Thank you so much to everyone involved in the Inkscape project, and especially everyone who helped me toil away at all sorts of bugs affecting my usability and all the questions I had. Thanks again everyone, and if you are in the Toronto area and want to meet up for samples, or wish to import/distribute Lava Brew™ to your country or region, please feel free to contact me. -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Commercial-products-in-the-wild-designed-u… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
