Just surfing on the GIMP UI Brainstorm (where all the new/improved versions of theGIMP are located and discussed) and read that there is going to be an Inkscape Plugin.
How great is this?
I mean Inkscape is superb but it only lacks an bunch of features (meaning that it has not as many features as an commercial vector program), GIMP on the other hand has it, but it is only an bitmap editor and therefor you cant get sharp lines when zoomed in.
Now with this function you can combine those.
Come on Sven Neumann and other developers, I’m eating my nails to the skin…
Release it!!!..Rahhh:P
Ummm… The UI Brainstorm site is a place with user submitted mockups of what they would like to see happen in GIMP. That particular link you posted is likely a mockup from a guy that thinks Inkscape should be incorporated into GIMP not something that has actually happened.
I find it a bit hard to believe that gimp 2.6 is close to being released. Gimp follows a development cycle - release cycle model for development. They have only been on the current development cycle for less than 5 months, and have only released 3 development snapshots. I wouldn’t get excited about 2.6 for at least another 9 months. Especially considering the GEGL integration work they are doing.
They’re aiming for 2.6 release candidate 1 next month (September)
It’s already quite good and usable (on linux anyway) although the “wheel” colour picker is broken in 2.5.3 which is a showstopper for me, so I’m sticking with 2.5.2 'til they fix that.
I thought the same thing. For me the problem was I launched it with my mouse then switched to the tablet. When I launched from the tablet it worked fine. Vista Ultimate x64, Wacom Bamboo Fun.
gruvsyco, thanks… never thought of that, but it still works to pen 2.4 with the mouse then switch to the tablet. Oh well at least there is a way to get it working
