a friend of my complained recently, that he could not use pressure
feature
of his wacom tablet in inkscape. neither linux or windows version. i
was
just wondering, is this a linux or inkscape problem?
I wouldn't really call it a problem with inkscape, it's really just a feature that has not been implemented yet. There are already requests that have been submitted regarding that specific feature. And believe me, I can't wait till I can use my tablet (with pressure support) either!
another thing that i might find useful some day is the abillity of changing the perspective of the objects. that is, modyfing the
rounding
box of object(s) and thus deformating them accordingly.
Unfortunately this is another feature that has been requested that last I knew, there were discussions going on as to what the best way to implement it would be.
Honestly, if you have the time, I'd recommend checking the feature requests that are on sourceforge to see if there's anything that you think people missed when discussing these items. Even if you just add a "I'd like to see this too" comment, I'm sure it helps the devs to prioritize new features.
And because I have a couple mins...
The existing Feature Requests for what you asked about are as follows:
Tablet pressure support (ID 950969): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=950969&grou... =93438&atid=604309
2 items re: perspective with objects (IDs 1005753 & 1012134): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1005753&gro... d=93438&atid=604309
