Re: [Inkscape-devel] pressure sensitivity for Pencil tool using powerstroke?

      The only thing that's missing from inkscape's toolbar implementation
is the way in which parts of the toolbar features are enabled or
disabled, hidden or shown at the right times. Sometimes what the tool
needs is just fewer tools, and hopefully putting more configuration
into the xml will allow us to offer users the ability to show and hide
different adjusters into these user interfaces.
But this is a step up in the dynamic nature of inkscape's toolbar and
should be thought out some more so our designers can really play with
it more.

I personally love Inkscape's current toolbar implementation and have found
it has a very short learning curve (easy to learn) when compared to other
software.
I really like that picking a tool (from the vertical list) gives a secondary
horizontal toolbar that has more refinements for that specific tool.  It's
really nice.
My two cents.

Hi Miguel and all,

Finally, I got another idea, do we have some sort FAQ document within
Inkscape?
Rhino (NURBS modeling software) has a way to automatically access FAQ when
tools
are being used, and it helped me learn how Rhino works, and what their
features
does. This would help users navigate through Inkscape faster, and some of
the
GUI complaints would die down a bit.
In Help menu, there is "Inkscape Manual" and "FAQ" entry, don't
they do the job ? How could it be improved ?
Also on the topic, I find the bottom bar showing current status
and tool shortcut really handy to discover and remember
functionalities.
You seem to have experience with a lot of different softwares,
which is very useful.
Maybe screenshots / documentation of the features you find
useful elsewhere could help, because not everybody has access to
these softwares.
A separate thread for other UI/UX proposals might be easier to
follow, since the "Pencil tool using powerstroke" proposal seems
awesomely fixed and successful :)
@devs, is inkscape-devel the best place to discuss UI/UX
improvement ideas ?
Is https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/issues suitable too ? It
might be easier to keep track and attach images..
Cheers,
Victor
