Inkscape 0.48

Highlights in this release:

  • Spray Tool
  • Device CMYK
  • Rewritten Node tool

Tools

Spray Tool

  • Spray Copy mode
  • Spray Clone mode

The Spray tool is a perfect match for the transforming, duplicating, and deleting modes of the Tweak tool.

Other Features

  • Arch paper sizes are added in the Document Properties dialog
  • Displaying the font samples in the drop-down list of the Text tool is now optional. In Inkscape Preferences, go to Tools, Text, and uncheck "Show font samples in the drop-down list" if you don't want to see the samples. This will speed up displaying the list the first time you open it.
  • Items in the File > Open Recent menu, when mouseovered, show tooltips with the full URI of each file in the list. Also, files that are in the list but are missing or unaccessible are automatically hidden.
  • When a flowed text is truncated (i.e. the frame is too small for the entire text), the frame is shown red, and the statusbar hint includes [truncated]. You need to resize the frame to see the truncated end of the text. Analogously, if the path of a text-on-path object is too short to display the entire text, the statusbar will report it as [truncated].
