Hello everyone,
I am having big slowdowns when editing and zooming an svg I create from zero, using inkscape 0.38.
Moving the canvas is slow. Zooming in or out is really slow. Selecting nodes is very very slow, and it takes time for inkscape to reflect the changes. It has gradients with more than two stops. In a last editing also some elements or atributes has disappeared, lucky I saved a copy before further editing. It happened when I delete a colour from a 4 colours gradient. The three version I had has grown in size dramatically though i didn't add many elements more: lives.svg=13k lives2.svg=28,8k (this is the version that lost stuff) lives3.svg=48k
Should you follow my case for bughunting or do you think it's been solved in the cvs version? just to let you know: Néstor ps: I can send the svgs.
Others have reported some performance problems on Windows. Are you using it on Windows? If so, look through some of the other Win32 bugs and see if someone has reported the same problem, in which case add your notes to that ticket.
If you can find specific steps you took to make lives.svg bloat up into lives2.svg and lives3.svg, and can reliably recreate that issue, then it is definitely worth submitting it as a bug report (and include the svgs on that ticket and the exact steps needed to make it occur). Also include details about your system - see the Bug Report page on the website for types of things to include in the report.
Thanks, Bryce
