Re: [Inkscape-devel] Canvas tile size and rendering speed.
by Miguel Lopez 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

Yes, I did. Gonna forward this one to inkscape-devel. By the way, I would like to add I saw Tavmjong Bah's reply about the cores being used. Another question here, is Inkscape use only one core at this moment for everything? Then, if so, should threads settings be reduced to 2? If yes, why is there a option for more threads?

As a matter of fact, Inkscape seem to support at maximum of 8 threads and a rendering cache of up to 4098 MB. Is that limitation addressed? As far as zooming level go, rasterization of filters is how Illustrator managed to keep their rendering speed quick as possible. But, I don't think it'll help too much with the current Inkscape as it is now. They also support GPU acceleration. I wonder if that's within any reach of Inkscape as of now.

_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.

Need help for GSoC project - Slice toolbar items
by Minglangjun Li 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

Hi all, I posted a draft proposal about extension system a few days ago. But afterwards I realized that it may not fit in with the roadmap very well and is not complete. So I would like to switch to the slice toolbar items project. The problem is I don't get the project description very well. What's the difference between it and the eraser? It seems that slicing can be achieved through erasing already. Regards, Minglangjun Li

Problem with text tool in Inkscape 0.92.1
by Victor Westmann 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

Hi there, can anyone help me? I am trying to use the text feature in Windows 7 64bit using Inkscape 0.92.1 in the following manner: I select the Text tool (F7) and start typing some text. As soon as I hit enter (for a newline of text) the newline jumps to 500px above the original text. I went into the NEWLINE spacing feature (which is cool) and changed the value to 0. Also changed the measurement from pt to px, cm, mm and nothing worked. What am I missing here guys? --Victor Westmann
