Hello
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/278001
Inkview is large (8MB) and doesn't do much. Does anybody use it? I think it should be removed. This would reduce the size of binary packages as well as installed size somewhat.
Regards, Krzysztof
This is what I argued just before 0.47. It's buggy, crashes very easily, and is not accessible other than directly. On Windows at least you've got to launch it manually, no shortcuts of any sort. At 0.47, I think it added about 1MB to the Windows installer and 14MB to the install size... for something that I've never heard of anyone using. (That was the only difference between 0.47-1 and 0.47-3; 1 didn't have inkview.)

I'm good at making two things: mistakes and enemies.

I try to use it every so often, for example for a slide show of SVGs. But it is annoyingly crashy.
Bug #316506 in Inkscape: “inkview crashes when going to next slide” https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/316506
has been fixed recently (revision 9157).

KK> Does anybody use it?
I use it regularly. It is a bit of a pain that it requires about 80M of VM, but that is a hell of a lot better than inkscape, which wants two to three times that much. And it never crashes here.
Inkview is the only reliable svg viewer.

OK, I see that more than 1 person uses it. The other idea is to make libinkscape.a a shared library, but it's too late to do in this release cycle.

Yes, I use it for presentations.
I think it should be removed. This would reduce the size of binary packages as well as installed size somewhat.
I would suggest to split the Inkscape packages then and create a separate Inkview packages.

Yes, I use it for presentations.
Even though there are all sorts of advanced SVG based tools for that? :)
Are there? Can you recommend some?

I use it for presentations as well. Though, I've been meaning to switch over to JessyInk[1]. Good example[2]
Another thing I've done is render the slides to 1024x768 pngs and used eog. The more filters I decide to use, usually I go that route to avoid real-time rendering of the slides.

My own feeling is that perhaps we should replace it with a "slideshow" mode of Inkscape proper.

A tad on the late side, but I'm using it more or less regularly. At least it is smaller and faster than launching inkscape instead...
