Alan, if you'd be interested, I'd like to co-author an official response with you. If you have time, it would be great to post a response in the Feb timeframe.
Well, actually I answered most of his points yesterday in comments. And he said he would join the devel list, so we might just sit and wait for him here :)
Ah, cool. Well I was thinking just from a PR perspective it could show that we're listening and responding to feedback from users, if we published our response to the comments. I figure if a user goes to the trouble of publically writing up all the issues they see, the public would appreciate seeing the software provider's responses.
I have felt that the best approach for us would be to use SVG as the originating syntax, but render to png or bmp, and load those. From my perspective the benefit would be in load times; I think they'd have other benefits as well.
I disagree, as I said loading times of icons are not any kind of bottleneck right now.
Guess we can disagree on this one. For my usage, fast load-up times are critical. I am annoyed every time I have to wait > 1 sec for Inkscape to start that it doesn't take < .5 sec. ;-)
Admittedly, I could probably be satisfied if inkview were to take < .5 sec to load.
mockups for a new preferences dialog were done, no tabs a bit more like the gimp. implementation seems inevitable, others may know but I wont guess when.
I wouldn't bet money on the dual-row tab approach surviving the gtkmm redesign work.
Two (and more) rows of tabs are bad when this is actually one row which is too long and is wrapped. Here, it's not the case. It's a hierarchy. And as such it makes it more logical and convenient, not less.
Tabs are the wrong metaphor for representing hierarchies. (Period.) Some of the ideas that users have proposed are much better than what we have. I look forward to seeing what the team can do, and expect we'll have a much superior solution to what we're currently providing.
