Hello everyone,
Looking for something else I just passed cross this on Apple's site: Inkscape is marked as staff pick by Apple currently. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/index_sp.html I don't remember that it was before so that's great news, given that the interface is X11 (which Mac users typically don't like), and not very pretty by default (which mac users usually care much about). However it seems to be a little lower in the most downloaded counts: it was in top 10 and is now 17. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/ index_top.html But no doubt that the 0.46 release will bring all that up. Congratulations anyway.
I've some GTK themes which look OK when integrated with OS X. Now if someone could tell me how to use GTK2_RC_FILES I'll be glad to try and use them in Inkscape.
i saw this on their web site:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/inkscape.html
"Note: On start-up, it will take a couple of minutes before the main window appears (while the application builds the font cache.)"
...a couple of minutes? are you serious? i don't use a mac but is this what some of you go through?
Oupsss. I did not saw this. The sentence is not correct, it should read:
On FIRST startup, it will....
So yes we go through this but only once (well once for each release of Inkscape in fact, so each 6 months or so). Don't be afraid for us, that's bearable! ;) I have absolutely no idea about who to contact at Apple to have this (and the ugly screenshot) fixed though.
