This hardly warrants the grandiose title or style of 'installing', but it does mean that un-installing is simple and complete - just drag the icon to the Trash when you are finished with Inkscape and no longer want it.įrom version 0.44, the disk image will have an alias to your system-wide Applications folder, allowing you to very easily drop the Inkscape icon into the most useful place for it, and open that folder so that you can start Inkscape. You can simply drag the Inkscape icon to where is most convenient for you, usually your Applications folder or possibly your Desktop. Since version 0.43, the Inkscape deliverable has been a disk image with a properly packaged Mac OS X Bundle - Inkscape.app. For 10.3.x users, you can get Apple's X Server, or use XDarwin. For 10.4.x users, X11 can be installed from your installation DVD. You will need an X Windows Server installed for it to work.

Informally this is as bad as a 2-3 fps frame rate.

In latest builds, hiding toolbars/rulers/status bars doesn't help.Menus are still normal, so issue with the canvas rendering.Performance is worse as you scroll (25% zoom is still responsive, 200% has 1-2 second delay before screen loads).Substantial pause before rest of screen loads.

import image or draw a simple rectangle.
