Florian,

I'm completely with you regarding the benefits. I was actually replying to what someone else said about Inkscape creating something other than true SVG if raster editing was included.

Any addition to Inkscape that makes my design process easier would be very welcome.

----- Original Message ---- From: Florian Ludwig First of all you dont need to fire up an additional program. Editing an image with an integrated editor would be much smother. You could see the complete context your raster images is used in and you dont have to reimport the image after changing it with an external program.

I would also prefer if the functionality of using external editors would improve. For example on linux use inotify to get changes of linked images and reload them.

If it would be possible to embed the gimp into inkscape it would be a really cool thing :) Or the other way around: have an svg as an layer within an gimp file.

Greetings, Florian Ludwig
