Inkscape Version 1.0

[don in brooklin on]

Version 1.0 is now available for download.

There was lots of discussion on offsetting objects with sharp corners.  There is now a path effect to accomplish that.

There is a video at https://logosbynick.com/whats-new-in-inkscape-version-1-0/

that highlights the some of the new features including the sharp corner offset. 

Nick is a great resource for Inkscape.

Don, Did you download the 32 or 64 bit version?

[don in brooklin on]

I did the 64 bit.  

Most new computers are 64 bit but you can check in the settings - system - about and in the device specifications.

I am using the dark settings and it is cool.  You get to it in the preferences - interface- themes.

I must get this version Don.
I only discovered Nick about 3 months ago. He has some great tutorials.

I recently enrolled in Nick's Master course on Inkscape.  It is only $17 USD .  I have only completed 12 of the 50 videos.  It takes it right back to the basics of each of the menu and tool options.

I have been using Inkscape for about 7 years ( back to the FREE4ALL days) but have never learned what all the finer points.  I am finding these videos very useful. 

Now if I can only remember. LOL

Don, Remembering is a problem for me because some of the the things I don't use very often. Once you pay do you have access to the videos for ever?

The course I signed up for is https://logosbynick.com/inkscape/

It is lifetime and he will answer questions too. 

This course goes every menu and tool.   

There are lots to do with design but they may have use when  pattern making.  His other videos are on YouTube   and they are still available.

Don, are the videos intuitive enough so that I could possibly gain something from them even though I cannot understand the video? I know there are some videos on various subjects that are fairly self explanatory with video only. At 81 I don't retain things as quickly as I used to.

Les

I have been using Inkscape for a number of years now.  I started with the Lesson series with Free4All forum and then have watched every video in the  University here (some many times).

These are the really good for pattern making.  

If something comes along that I don't know (or remember) I search YouTube and usually can find it.  I have found the the people that have Cricut machine use Inkscape to create their patterns and so it is quite useful.

I signed up for Nick's course in order to explore what I maybe missing.  The videos just explain each of the menus items and what they do.  They do not show you how to patterns,

They are very easy to follow but include a lot of stuff that is not required for pattern making but for graphic design.

Thanks Don. I think I may have to give Inkscape another try.

Don, What do you think of the coarse by now?

[don in brooklin on]

I have completed the course and thought is was worth it.  

Learned some new things but lots was very basic.  It only goes over the menus and tools.  Most videos have been updated for version 1.  or there is a video explaining the upgrade.

I also had a couple of questions and Nick got back to me very quickly.  

There are a few instances that version 1 is a little different and it was not pointed out.  

I have gone back and view a couple of videos a couple of times as my memory ain't what it used to be.

I am really liking version 1 for mainly one reason.  I can control the size when doing the offsets and control if rounded or square.  (miter) There are other new features like the dark theme.

Thanks a lot Don. I think I will go ahead and do it. Since my shows have been cancelled I have time.

Don, will this version 1 work on mac cat, Thx RJ 

[don in brooklin on]

I am not a MAC guy but it say macOS(10.11 - 10.15) 

Mac Application

Inkscape is now a first-rate native macOS application, and no longer requires XQuartz to operate. The minimum required operating system version is OS X El Capitan 10.11.

It has a standard Mac-style menu bar (rather than a menu bar within the window). Keyboard shortcuts now use the command (⌘) key rather than the control key. Retina display screen resolution is now supported. The build is now cleanly 64-bit, a prerequisite for macOS Catalina 10.15 and beyond. It comes bundled with Python 3 to power Inkscape extensions.

Thx Don, will check it out, RJ
