I have been using inkcape 0.46 professionally
for technical illustration for quite a while now. Most of our linedrawings
are based on 3D-Cad data. The model is saved from SolidWorks as a as a
dxf-drawing (Well I save it as a pdf). Importing these complex models in
Inkscape results in up to 50.000 single paths (objects).
Working with 0.46 is almost on the limit,
but in outline mode it runs ok.
So far with 0.46 I did not notice any difference
between speed when working with mouse or with a wacom tablet when working
with these complex drawings.
With 0.47 the behaviour when using a tablet
really is worrying:
a) Drawing a bezier curve with the pen tool
is delayed; the canvas is not responding immediately with pen touch.
b) I cannot add nodes with my tablet, by
simply touching the path (Strg + Alt + click)
c) text tool is not responding propperly
Surprisingly with the mouse:
a,b,c run smoothly with 0.47.
with tablet:
with small drawings a,b,c run smoothly with
0.47 (but not with complex drawings)
A new user (using a tablet) would certainly
be dissapointed about inkscape.
Luckily I have started with 0.46 and don´t
want to swapp inkcape with any other tool.
Can anyone of you confirm this weird tabelt
behaviour?
If so, shouldn´t I post a bug about this?
