@inkscape geez I would loooove to use inkscape on my tablet Samsung s6 lite. Can I hope?

@globcoco Not sure what that would require. Some things can now be made larger than before, if that helps for touch.

@inkscape soooo I can hope?
Krita is on my tablet... (it's very hard to use compare to hipaint, a clone with less functionalities than procreate) but with inkscape i would be able to do great things though...

@globcoco
I would also use an Android version of Inkscape on my Samsung S7! :blobaww:
(I've been using Krita for illustrations on it for 2 years now)

@Petit_Lutin @inkscape how do you manage to use it? (The buttons are small yet it féls very crowded)
I wish there were a workspace with the basic essential or a layout that was ui friendly. 🙏

@globcoco I also used to think the buttons were too small. They indeed decreased in size for the undo/redo buttons: this bugged me at first but this came with new finger gestures : tap with 2 fingers to undo, tap with 3 fingers to redo. Tapping with one finger shows the wheel with brushes (where I put my favorites): I never used it on desktop because I had a shortcut on my tablet for switching brushes, but I find it really useful on touch screen!
I hope it helped :neko_smiley:

@Petit_Lutin @inkscape it definitely does! Thank you.
Another question: Beside putting the workspace in view mode, is it possible to have an uncrowded set up?

@globcoco

You mean, besides being in the full screen mode? (I dont use it)
Yes there is a way to reduce the interface dockers, by toggleing the button in the bottom left of the screen.
It is not much visible on photos but it still makes a difference IRL.
Hope I answered your question correctly :)

@Petit_Lutin @inkscape okay. This is very simple but it helps tremendously.
How do you manage to get the size of the brush when the wheel appears, without having a button "select all" poping up every time?

Petit Lutin

@globcoco I'm not sure to understand: you want to change the size of the current brush, right?
I keep the "size of the brush" slider visible. I think it is by default, in case it's not it's in Settings > Configure toolbars > BrushesAndStuff > Cursor [number] of brush options, and I think you can choose between size, opacity, and flow.

Coralie Renée

@Petit_Lutin I didn't see the "BrushesAndStuff > Cursor [number] of brush options," 😜
Mine is in English mais je pourrais aussi le changer en français pour mieux comprendre. 😁

Le truc c ke j'ai sur le cursor de la taille ce popup qui m'empêche de faire bouger... le cursor.

Je suis plus claire en français ?

Apparemment c'est "brush option slider" le vrai nom.

Pour le reste, je ne sais pas, désolée.

@inkscape nice, but i can't close the colorpickers in the document preferences using the mac arm build.

@yetzt @inkscape Please report this error to https://inkscape.org/report we can try and get it fixed for 1.3.1

@doctormo @yetzt @inkscape Finding the same on my Mac. Can't close the document properties window. Will submit a bug report now

@thecgnerd @doctormo @inkscape there appears to be a bug with z-order, the click appears to register in the most underlying window. the workaround is to drag the top window outside the underlying main window, then the click registers.

@yetzt @doctormo @inkscape Ahhhh, yes, that makes sense. I just submitted this bug and it looks like that's what's happening. I'm also finding that window resizing doesn't work half of the time (also shown in the same report) https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/8883

@inkscape Holy crap - this took a mildly complex SVG of mine from being a sloooow pain to work with on my 2014 laptop, to being completely usable!

I feel like Inkscape has surpassed the 0.92 days in terms of performance. :fox_happy:

(I did turn off the render cache as per https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/4986#caveats-the-cache - good luck with whomever works on fixing it!)

@inkscape@mastodon.art
can I just ask why the SHA256 checksums aren't on all the download pages?

I mean it's cool and all being in the elite club that knows you need to go to the "All Platforms for Inkscape" for the version you want, then select the platform and then you get links with SHA356. But why is it so hidden?
