Are the tons of glitches and incoherent UI fixed? I recently tried Inkscape again (on arch, so I assume a relatively recent version) and it was still pretty bad (although better than a few years ago) :s
Snapping is a nightmare. Layers are kind of hard to work with. Elements don't keep their ratio by default. The way the canvas border works by default makes no sense. The UI is just not sensibly arranged in many places.
Since they talk about crashes I hope at least the spontantous crashes while copy/pasting are gone now. A nice bonus would be touchpad zooming (at least moving around now works smoothly).
It's still the best FOSS vector editor out there, but 1.0 is a big release. I hope it now has the polish it deserves.
- foobarbecue 7y agoInkscape snapping had always worked well for me. I love the fine-grained control available on the snapping panel. I do find the layering / grouping controls confusing.
- tommyage 7y agoI am not familiar with the package of arch, but changes could have been done. When in doubt and need, try an vanilla version from source. You can adapt the layout in the preferences. > Since they talk about crashes I hope at least the spontantous crashes while copy/pasting are gone now. Yes, copy-pasting had issues, but if you adapt to duplicating instead almost all problems will be gone. > A nice bonus would be touchpad zooming (at least moving around now works smoothly). Touchpad zooming will be in the 1.0 release, called pinch-to-zoom When I am using an FOSS tool, i try to learn it as an tool, meaning that I want to understand the reasoning for some work flows. By learning the tool I want to show my appreciation to the devs. On mouseover you will see that the '%' sign enables/disables snapping, which is almost always the desired behaviour.
