One missclick and you had to start from scratch, clicking on the tinny controls. It was soo fiddly to select a group of nodes. I, in fact, never managed to create a custom palette. You had to manually edit text files to get your own palettes, couldn't edit them in Inkscape. * The node deletion behavior, it was so annoying, how you delete a node on a straight line and suddenly you get some soup.

1.2 already solved some of my frustrations (the new interface for linecaps & line dots, amazing!)Īlmost all the features in this release seem to solve a major frustration I had with Inkscape. It's improving at breakneck speed though. The UI is the exact opposite of how I expect things to work. It's very stable & really does almost everything Illustrator does, only it's WAY better because it's Open Source & totally FREE.I use regularly Inkscape, and it has been a constant source of frustration. Making the above changes took about half an hour & now Inkscape. Just Google 'Inkscape Mac GTK themes & toolsets'. There are several sites that show you how to do this. I upgraded the butt-ugly Inkscape Windoze GUI theme to a snazzy dark grey GTK theme & tool set, which makes it look & almost like native Mac software. I makes my workflow much smoother & more efficient. This means I can use Inkscape without constantly stumbling around the keyboard.

I altered the XQuartz (X11) keyboard commands to use the Command key instead of the Control key. 91 runs almost like a native Mac app-once I made two changes:ġ. Inkscape was always awkward on a Mac because it used X11 & Windoze key commands & the clunky Windoze interface.īut now Inkscape. I've been waiting for the promised Inkscape Mac native version for years, ever since Adobe bought & killed Freehand because Illustrator couldn't compete with it.
