Re: [Inkscape-user] Inkscape and Uniconvertor
Ken,
Inkscape isn't ever going to export to jpeg.

No. No. No. Open Source doesn't "catch up" it simply is what users have
invested it to be. It's not here to meet your expectations, it's hear to
allow you to meet them for yourself. Open Source isn't freeware and it's
not a charity. It's something much bigger and more important
fundamentally to how software is constructed and why users should care
about how it's made and be literally involved.
Plus bugs, which is why I finally gave up on Libre Office.
Did you try getting involved to solve the issues? If Libre Office had a
fundraiser, would you help?
I think that's frustrating for many new uses of open source
software
that are used to more options instead of having to go to extra work to
do the additional converting.
The unix model which most open source projects follow is "do one thing
well" and not "do a million things sort of ok". this is the same sort of
kind of model Apple follows. We're not going to convert raster images in
inkscape because inkscape is a vector editor and not a raster converter
tool. Using more than one tool isn't a burden on users, it's an
opportunity.
