I'd vote for leaving them out. Although it may look like the geometriy tool is just a step from being finished and perhaps it's already of use for some people, some important things still need to be added before it is truly usable. These involve coding on a fundamental level as well as some careful design decisions, and it is likely that this will entail (considerable?) changes in some of the GC LPEs, too. IMHO it would be advisable to not make these in a rush while releasing 0.47.
Which is a pity, but since you know best, I'd rely on your opinion.
In this context, I'd once again like to sincerely apologize that my work is still unfinished. Unfortunately, due to sad personal circumstances related to my family it is likely that I won't be able to participate in Inkscape development anytime soon (I can't predict yet how long that may be, I'm afraid), and this post is just a rare occasion since by coincidence I caught a glimpse of Alexandre's question. I will join you again as soon as I can manage, promise! Perhaps I'll be able to do an occasional bug fix during the release process (although frankly speaking I doubt it).
Are are always welcome to rejoin us whenever you can, trust me on this! :)
While I'm at it, here is one question and two random comments that occurred to me recently:
- I seem to recall that there is an online tutorial on scientific
poster creation with Inkscape. Does someone happen to have a link at hand?
http://www.nabble.com/Making-a-poster-with-Inkscape-td16227277.html, if it's of any help :-/
- After a fresh installation all lines drawn with the pen/pencil
tools have no stroke but are filled, which is very unnatural for freehand lines. On the other hand, the defaults in preferences-skeleton.h are set the other way round. Are these settings discarded, and why?
Check Preferences - Tools - Pencil
