Hello guys (and ladies) , :)
I have a few questions: Are you planning to implement masking of vector/bitmap objects?
No idea, but it sounds like it would be a nice feature. Has anyone else considered this?
It could be nice feature though. I've worked in Illustrator before I've changed win to linux. It works like this: any object (bitmap, shape, group) should be masked in simple shape. If it would depend on mask-shape fill (white=transparent), it is the best. But I think It's too hard to code this.
And partial kde-integration (file dialogs)? Gtk file-dialogs are terrible.
The next version of GTK+ addresses the file dialog issue, and will be out very soon. I would like to voice my opinion regarding using KDE integration (i.e. using only their dialogs), which is to please stay away from it. Keep the app GTK+, or at least keep it as a configure option (Which for me will turn into a nice little USE flag).
Ok, I noticed you prefer gnome over gtk, it's ok with new version of gtk.
And what about text frames with aligning?
Keep good work. michalz
ps. I can't get a cvs access to build dev inkscape with kerning features.
