Hello,
I am trying to use Inkscape 0.44 to design basic graphics for websites
(think content boxes, buttons, titles and so on) and to get highlight and
shadow borders around them I make use of linked offsets, which I find very
useful especially when I need to adjust the basic shape (from which the
linked offsets are made) later on.
Unfortunately, using linked offsets seems to have a very detrimental
effect on performance, in my example file [1], I have just a few content
boxes and a single button with a small icon on it, yet certain basic
actions like creating a new shape, hiding/unhiding/moving layers or shape
adjustments are starting to take a lot of time.
On my desktop machine, which has an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU, hiding the
"Buttons" layer causes Inkscape to use 100% CPU and become unresponsive
for a good 8 seconds.
Considering that I need many more buttons and boxes and thus vastly
increasing the amount of linked offsets, I am wondering wether there are
other ways of creating buttons and boxes like these without linked offsets
while retaining the same kind of flexibility or if there is some other way
I can work like this but with better performance.
Any suggestions (even alternatives to Inkscape that may be better suited
for this) are welcome.
