The new font function will save so many lives.
Love inkscape so much❤. thanks to people who is dedicated their time for this amazing tool.peace from indonesia Southeast asian
Thanks for the update and will be glad if CMYK is incorporated for easy printing
The color refactoring is on the way. It is an important step to get CMYK implemented. So it's slowly taking shape!
@@softwarelivre2389👏👏👏
By now you can export to PDF and import to Scribus and export to CMYK
Yeah using fonts in Inkspace is quite the challenge. These improvements look a pretty big step forward
The unified font browser is definite need to have. I am glad it is being addressed in this release. The filter preview will definitely give me more ease and freedom to explore what the other filters do. Thanks for the update.
This update seems really nice! Hope we can have native CMYK now 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's being worked on by Martin and will probably either ship on 1.5 or be very close to it and end up launching in 1.6!
That font browser looks cool. Thanks.
Thank you for the quick update! I'm excited about the font browser too.
Great summary and well presented. Thanks!
Ever since Adobe killed Macromedia Freehand (back in the distant past) I've been a loyal Inkscape user. It simply keeps improving and has become quite a beast.
FreeHand was LIGHTYEARS ahead of Illustrator. I was heartbroken to see it go. I only just recently tried Inkscape because I'm being asked to teach a free alternative to Illustrator. I wasn't really looking forward to it, but BOY...am I impressed! My only complaint was things like the anemic font system and the filters that I was gonna have to look through one by one in 1.3. This solves my problem. I hope this version is reasonably stable so I can show it off to my students.
@@gmlaster Agreed! It never made sense to me that Adobe killed off the better product. I even ran Illustrator on Linux using Wine for a time until I mastered Inkscape. I think the modern Inkscape now comes up to scratch with Inkscape. Good to hear you are introducing your students to Open Source software. They need to know there are other viable options to the increasingly restrictive commercial software.
Loving the font browser! Thanks for the heads up!
Neat, I can't wait to test the final stable version. Go team Inkscape ^_^
I am solely grateful and thankful to everyone behind Inkscape for such a great work thus far and this new beta release... I am loving it.
Thanks Nicks for the quick reviews of what we will be getting in this Inkscape version 1.4
The UI feels more like corel draw. But I love it much better than previous version.
Finally, useful font selection again! Before Inkscape had the current font selector, it had one without a font preview, but in which you could just click and then use arrow keys to change the text to another font to immediately see what your text looked like. That they deprecated that one has been my main pain point for years now and I'm glad we're finally getting one with preview *and* cursor key navigation.
Also, shoutout for the League of Movable Type fonts. :D
Finally a modular grid ❤❤❤
The filters and the font selection changes..... ooooh I'm excited! 😁
Things are coming along beautifully!
WOW... I am a pure hobbyist. Learning any new software take time, something I have very little of at most. So that new grid and text stuff is great news for me. Thank you so much, best wishes.
Awesome, can't wait. Excited for the font browser.
Thanks Nick. Inkscape is really moving ahead. Thanks for helping keep me up to speed. It would be handy if one could print multiple pages/artboards from within Inkscape (rather than save as pdf and printing), and if course no CYMK must still be disappointing you.
Pretty sure I fixed the multi-page printing thing in 1.3, or maybe it for 1.4. But I worked on it!
@@doctormo You're correct! I didn't realise I could now print multiple pages direct from Inkscape. Fantastic. Thanks!
The new filters and font browser look great.
Always enjoy and learn from your videos, Nick. Keep up the great work you are doing here.
Fantastic update!! Thanks for the recap video 👏🏻😃
Love this update!! Thanks very much for the video as always ❤️
Hi guys, thank you for your work!
I have a video/topic idea(s) (and you can do a survey with the community)!
Video idea(s):
- how to customize inkscape
- how to make it look like adobe illustrator, affinity designer
- how to create your own theme (icon sets, colors etc..)
- best inkscape themes
- saving your custom UI
Thanks again and Keep Up The Good Work!
Creating icon sets 🥰
awesome. Great update and information.
Great stuff coming to Inkscape.
Once the full new version is out, I will definitely get it just for the font option. I usually open up my font settings on my computer and search through the fonts there to find what I wanted, then go back to Inkscape and select the exact one I wanted.
Always helpful Nick! Thanks!
I have been playing around with 1.4 this is so awesome. I cannot wait to see what else this does. thanks, Nick I actually got both versions in but I like the new on so so much better.
Thanks for sharing this quick update.
wow, the font browsing is something really great!
Thanks, Nick! Glad to see we'll get an update soon.
I m gonna love this new version !!
Love the new updates! Thanks for the short and to the point video!!
fonts and filters was always a struggle to deal with. thank you for the great team of inkscape❤❤
The new font browser is fabulous. Great for sign work.
Unloved inkscape so so so much! And I’m happy they are pushing forward always to the better ✨
modular grids are a game changer! I needed that months ago, I'm so happy with how inkscape is evolving ❤
Yes! Live font edit! Thanks Inkscape and Nick for the great news!
Oooh I absolutely love the new font tab! I feel like it’s going to be an absolute game changer for working with fonts
That font selector is going to save me so much time! Love it!
The filter gallery alone is going to be amazing.
Thank you Nick
Great update. I love vector graphics so much, definitely one of my favorite open source software.
I just download the 1.3 version and I love it, I'll be waiting for the compleate version of this update 'cause it looks so cool and helpfull
These look very exciting!
what a god send update!!! im FN Stoked
Thank for the update. I would like to know more about the new feature in inkstitch if I can use the cut work new feature in splitting a design
Great Nick you are the best man!
Thank you. A very interesting presentation.
Thanks for the great news! Best Inkscape channel!
Waiting 🤩
Thank you so much
Very cool!
I can't waitttttt!!!!!
Very nice!
For me, Inkscape has a bit of a steep learning curve.
You've made the journey enjoyable and easier to digest. Thanks a bunch!
Great video. Looks like an exciting relaease
Knowing Inkscape since 1.2 and experience what it does and how good it became already in 1.4, I'm almost afraid of how good 2.0 is gonna be
Looks great. Thanks
The filter gallery should live preview the effects when you click/focus on a filter, and then make it fixed to the object when you hit apply-exactly how the unified font browser applies to text.
Thank you, your videos are always interesting and well done! I ask a perhaps silly question: is there a way to manage variable fonts? Maybe it's me who doesn't know the system to do it... but if it didn't exist it would be very nice for it to exist!!!
Cool! Making Inkscape easier to work with is always a good thing.
Font feature is freaking awesome!
Thanks for the video. Good improvements, now it's time to test. In my case I have found that the text spacing tool closes every time you press enter, which is not right. I don't know if it happens only to me, but I have already reported it.
cool, I liked the updates Inkscape is getting more and more amazing.
Finally…FONTS! Thank you!
Thanks Sensei
Modular grid is really cool!
The font improvement is going to be a game changer for sure! Also, text on path is a bit of a problem for me. I can put text on a path, but if I want to invert the text, I can’t seem to do so. (I.e. putting text around a circular path, but inverting the text at the bottom to be legible in one orientation)
I keep learning more with Inkscape, as I too use it for logos, as well as some illustrations.
Inkscape or getting more amazing by the day.
Love Inkscape! Hoping for a knife tool one day though 😋 not a deal breaker luckily
despite being both open source the experience of using inkscape feels completely the opposite of gimp
So true, gimp should update their ui design
The onlything thats keeping me from using it @@PAFBEAST
much needed meaningful changes, these
Glad you like a new features. But there are not many other features planed for this release. This year was in spirit of migration of backend stuff for gtk4 that should hopefully should happen next year
Hope they will add CMYK colour preview and for printing.
It would be so useful if they have added the “real time alignment and distribution” such as in PowerPoint and adobe illustrator, where it gives you a hint that objects are already aligned or not.
If I understand you, that's already there. The snapping tool has align and distribute options which do those hints.
@@doctormo can you tell please, where to find it?
@@Alex-gw6pm I can't submit links into other people's video comments (stupid youtube), but you should search for "Alignment and Distribution snapping" the inkscape wiki, release notes or youtube videos.
Inkscape already a very robust version of that feature. You need to turn on "alignment" in your snapping and turn snapping on.
Yeah, you are right guys. Thank you alot, I'm just new user of inkscape, I didn't know that there are advanced options for snapping😬 now inkscape is my favorite 😁
Hopefully they have (or will soon) solve the issue (bug?) in Inkscape where not all weights and styles of an installed font family are available from the dropdown menu.
Does anyone know how to reset the filters to the default values?
I'm seeing a nice performance bump with zooming scrolling (using opengl).
Vote Inkscape, and Nick for president 👌thanks for the awesome work you do
Thanks for the update. I do like the update to the font browser. Is there a way to create custom groups of fonts? For example, if I have about ten favorite fonts, I could create a favorites group. If I wanted futuristic fonts, I could create a group called that. And so on and so forth.
Yes that was added in 1.3, but I think it needs a lot more love to be a great feature.
Hope to have a "Simplified" feature to reduce the number of nodes just like Illustrator. I do a lot of objects union, intersection, different, break apart. That increases the number of nodes in my final product and I find it hard to clean up the nodes in Inkscape.
Inkscape has this feature . Path - path effects - simplify
Thank you for the update I am excited to work with it, I immediately downloaded this version but I'm unable to import or see a preview from my folders to complete a design. Can you assist me with this issue? Thank you!
Hello Nick, congratulations on the video. Martin released a new video and mentioned you, have you seen it?
What we can do with illustrator or Corel draw that we can't with inskape?
The font browser is indeed super !!!
Now it needs text styles !
Hey Nick! if we dowload new version and we want opne my privious svg file we can opne in 1.4 beta.🤔🤔
It would be great if they modernized the ruler and the way of accessing extensions, of measuring curves. The text that appears on the ruler with the object information makes it very difficult to measure small pieces. It would be nice to have the option to deactivate that feature whenever we want.
Nick, How do I duplicate a "Page" along with the content in a "Page"?
The font browser is a bigger thing than it should be. It will make the work much easier.
Can you snap to those grids? That would be nice.
Fantastic job by Inkscape team, if only Gimp was this good and made good decisions like the inkscape or blender devs.
посмотрите квк устроено перемещение или редактирование элементов в архикаде: там все построено на входе в режим редактировании и на выходе из него.
тогда удобно задавать направление или расстояние без дополнительных напряжений
Love the filter gallery, finally no more guessing. OpenGL Performance improvements can wait until critical things like CMYK are implemented (Inkscape is so choppy visually right now).
I'd wish they made radial gradient more convenient to do
Would you suggest downloaidng this Beta?
Nick, have you got any videos on bevel filters or indeed any other Inkscape effects that would be suitable for a logo involving a tiling mosaic ?
I have looked through the existing filters but the only thing near this tile edge effect is the Filters > Bevels > Raised Ridge . . . But this has the "grout" sticking up instead of lying below the level of the tiles as it is in reality. It also makes the overall logo a bit dimmer and fuzzier, as if the view was through a dull glass.
Any ideas are welcome and I love your videos 🐬
Nice
The font browser!! How did it take so long to add something so helpful?
