Inkscape 1.1

I installed Inkscape the other day to try to rescale and save an simple SVG for the web.<p>When I took a look at the text saved in the file, I was pretty shocked to discover it saved the entire path of the file <i>in the file</i>.<p>In other words, it saves a directory structure that could contain your username, the name of the project you&#x27;re working on, what company you&#x27;re working for, etc.<p>Felt like a pretty shocking invasion of privacy to me. When I throw up an SVG on the web, I don&#x27;t want it to contain potentially personally identifiable information.

I love Inkscape. Taught my self how to use this 15+ years ago. Use it 2-10x per year since.<p>It&#x27;s always there. It does not change UI much between releases. I dont have to download a cracked version of some commercial tool because I&#x27;m to stingy to buy expensive software for a simple task at hand.<p>Inkscape (and Gimp) have helped me a lot in this regard.

I used Inkscape last week to convert an SVG vector image to EPS, for insertion into a PDF.<p>The conversion was not perfect. I am using FPDF with an EPS add-on, and after study of the PHP source, I was able to open the EPS with a text editor and reformat it so that it would successfully import.<p>Unfortunately, it loaded upside down, so I was forced to flip and save again in inkscape, then repeat the formatting. This odd behavior is also present in the (downstream) TCPDF library, which appears to have close to the same code.<p>Complain as I may, I didn&#x27;t have to buy Adobe Illustrator.

Inkscape is good enough for most cases. And it has been for a long time. Like audacity, like firefox, like musescore, like vlc, like krita, like blender... You don&#x27;t need to be the best, you just need to be good enough and eventually people will help or pay developers; given enough time it may eventually become the most popular on its category.

Very excited for the command palette. I wish something like that was accessible in every app. I know there&#x27;s Plotinus but it feels kind of hacky--high-level support at the toolkit&#x2F;HIG level for the whole desktop would be incredible.

In the old times I have used Inkscape from curiosity and to free my self from Adobe. After initial interface hick-ups I found it very useful for shape blocking. Nowadays Affinity Designer is 90 percent of my graphic design and part time UI workflow. The rest is in Figma. I hope new version of Inkscape is more responsive under Mac Os, the quartz version was frustrating to work with.

This is a blunt question, I know, but is Inkscape actually good yet? I just don&#x27;t hear anybody talking about it, and I hear more about people moving from Illustrator to Affinity Designer. It doesn&#x27;t seem like it&#x27;s become the Blender of vector graphics.

I&#x27;ve been a huge fan of Inkscape for over twenty years, and some of its tools are still unmatched by Affinity Designer. Though, I find Affinity to be way better with the features I need 98% of the time, and more responsive too. But now I can afford to <i>pay</i> for Affinity Designer. Before Affinity, Inkscape was my go-tool for vector drawing, because Illustrator is certainly not an option, even now.<p>Inkscape is probably not the <i>best</i> nor most convenient vector drawing tool, but it&#x27;s probably the most affordable and usable to the majority of the planet&#x27;s population, so it has my fondness and respect.

I just downloaded and tried the new welcome screen, I like the preview icons at the bottom when you change UI theme. Inkscape is improving with every new release!

Looks like some nice improvements.<p>I&#x27;d be great if they supported direct use of CMYK in addition to the default screen-space RGB mode.<p>And yes, I understand Inkscape is more illustration than Desktop Publishing, but still...<p>Until then there&#x27;s Scribus.

While I am by no means an expert user, and I have a lot to learn on how to properly use inkscape, I used it for creating some figures for my thesis and it really came in handy. Congratulations on the release!

I love Inkscape!! Congrats on the 1.1 release

I love Inkscape, and even more so now that I found the included tutorials. A pleasure to use. Can’t wait until it works again on the latest OS X! (Not whining, to be clear - I fully understand how little Apple cares about making it easy to support this type of software across upgrades).

Congrats to the Inkscape contributors! I&#x27;m particularly looking forward to try the new dialog docking as the old one tends to hide the thing that I&#x27;m after, worked against spatial memory IMO, and would also frequently not take or offer to &quot;apply&quot; my changes.

I love Inkscape. I used it for all the drawings in my books and website.

So many tools save metadata in the files. This is really common. Is it what you want? Maybe not, but it happens a lot.<p>A few years ago, there was somebody scraping the web for headshots, and an amazing number of them where photoshop crops that still had the full original image embedded in them, and a number of them were nudes. He posted the more &#x27;interesting&#x27; ones. It was part of an article about the dangers of file metadata.<p>I wish I had the link right now, but it was years ago.

I love Inkscape, but since 1.0 there&#x27;s this problem, where everything is too big on Windows 10 (at least on my laptop). Icons, menus, button etc. have unnecessary padding and UI takes up like 60% of my screen. I still couldn&#x27;t find a way to scale down UI.<p>This bug needs to be fixed, otherwise it may not be usable on some PCs. Otherwise, Inkscape is really great.

MMh. I couldn&#x27;t see any notes on performance improvements ? I like inkscape but i find it quite sluggish to work with on MacOS.

I hope soon we will finally see GIMP 3 as well.

Only thing I find annoying in Inkscape is doing simple crops of images

Tried working with Inkscape on my MacBook this weekend. It keeps freezing up unfortunately. Like to work with it, but it does not seem to be stable enough to do production work with that.

Can someone port this amazing free design app to the iPad and make it work with Apple Pencil please? It will free us from Adobe&#x27;s bubble.

Inkscape is garbage. I downloaded SVG map of the world from Wikipedia. Used bucket fill to change color of one country, it failed (it created new shape that barely resembled country but was inaccurate, as if someone traced it by hand). I mean what&#x27;s the point of vector graphic app of it cannot do basic operation after two decades of development. It&#x27;s not like I wanted to do something obscure.
