November 6, 2024, marks the end of the 20th anniversary year for the Inkscape project, and the beginning of a new decade of adventure. There were a few milestones this past year, among them an informal global celebration, a bug-fix program, an About Screen Contest, an Inkscape Summit, a summer of code, and the launch of version 1.4.
Here’s a brief look at some of those milestones.
I wish the Inkscape team would make a raster option. GIMP is just lagging, and we need a solid pixel pusher.
This would complicate the code behind Inkscape and the user interface a lot. It’s not just having an option to enable raster editing, the entire program must be rewritten, because its not designed to do raster editing. If they started with raster editing, it would be lacking too and the horrors from users would never end. I rather want Inkscape stay focused to what its doing best.
Either use GIMP or Krita. There are already excellent or good enough image editing tools.
You have checked Krita? I’m not doing much so it’s more than enough for me.
Yeah, but it’s a little too much about illustration for me. It’s great for that! I just need more of a pixel pusher.
