Still no issues found. And no repeat of the 3D freeze. Happy. Great features.
.. features are added at the cost of speed/interface....
..my main concern too...
Yes, and thanks for that! There are some horror stories from large projects, where the developers had access to hardware much more powerful than the average user, and the result was a disaster. It is never a bad idea to test new releases on the slowest computer in the organisation. ..my main concern too...
..generating larger icons should slow down the program a little...
Tried a plan with lots and lots of items at 1024×1024 setting, and yes, RAM and DISK went to max and I was left staring at lots of clocks for a minute or so. But never mind, I am running a slow computer. It is great to have the option and I would only use this for 2D plan presentations anyway. (But maybe there should be a warning in the Preferences? Or somewhere?)Images set in the planIcon# property of a piece don't have to be square, and will be always resized to the size of the piece in the plan.
Quite, it is my impression that a planIcon# png with the same proportions as the model, will render more nicely and with less blur (until the proportions are changed, that is). The nice thing with home-made planIcon# pngs is that the model-maker has control over how it renders...doors and windows that cut out both sides of walls is a more heavy operation...
Yes, and this surprised me. I really noticed absolutely nothing in terms of performance. So, job well done...shortcut for preferences under Windows and Linux...
Inkscape uses Ctrl-Shift-P for programme preferences and Ctrl-Shift-D for document properties. Both dialogues seem to be intended for frequent use and the logic appeals to me, but Ctrl-Shift-P is already used. So I dare not suggest, but + and , moves about depending on the nationality of the keyboard, which means I never learn them.SVG icons would be nice for the set of symbols, and maybe some standard furniture with architectural symbols (bed, cooker, closet - the standard architect mark-up). I volunteer for making a library of simple models, if you come up with a way to do SVG planIcon#s
(Well, after the boating season, that is.)ok
