While doing some graphic design for printing I'm often obliged exchanging pixmap and vector graphics between GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus. Inkscape discards DPI of GIMP exported graphics, which is really unintuitive. Drawings that GIMP displays exactly how they were saved previously (I'm referring to format here -- A3, A4, B5 etc.) Inkscape opens at wrong DPI thus they're a few times bigger. Not a big deal when the whole page is exported from gimp (just scale picture at format's dimensions) , but makes things complicated if many smaller components are imported to be assembled in Inkscape. I must write down every single component's width or height and scale it proportionally. Really time consuming...
