Right now, I'm keeping a terminal window with 'top' running, so I can keep tabs on Inkscape's CPU usage -- when it drops, the operation's probably done. However, I can imagine there would be an easier and more straightforward way to know when Inkscape's done with crunching paths.
Do any of you fellow Inkscape users have any tips or hacks that can help with this issue?
Also, should i pester inkscape-devel or file a feature request to have notifications (bell sound or notify popup) when a long operation is finished?
Be sure that there is a Launchpad bug entered to track this. That is the first step to ensure that it will not get forgotten or overlooked.
