Release highlights

TODO

Import/Export

Gimp XCF improvements

• The "Save Background" option allows users to choose if the page background is saved with each Gimp layer.
• The exported layers now use the label attribute or, if not set, the id attribute.
• New help tab.
• Some bug and warning fixed.

Extensions

• The new guillotine extension is used for exporting png slices from a drawing. The slice rectangles are defined by adding horizontal and vertical guides within the canvas boundary, the canvas boundary serves as the outside of the sliced area.

Live Path Effects

PowerStroke

Here a list of the current state; note that this is very much work in progress and anything can change. I think this is the most efficient place of keeping track how the powerstroke LPE works.

• stroke knots are purple diamonds
• when first applied, 3 stroke knots are added one at start, one at end, one somewhere in the middle along the path.
• adding nodes: ctrl+click purple knot, unselect object, reselect it.
• "sort points" reorders the stroke knots according to where they lie along the path (where they are closest to the path), instead of keeping them in original order.

Alignement

New "Exchange position of selected objects" feature. It adds three buttons in the Align and Distribute dialog (rearrange group) that exchange the selected objects position: 1. according to the selection order, 2. according to the stacking order, and 3. clockwise.
