It would be nice if Inkscape supported SVG P/S. We need that for BIMI, and now have to pay someone who has access to Adobe.
You could just hand-edit Inkscape's plain or optimized SVG file: https://bimigroup.org/creating-bimi-svg-logo-files/ (It's really not too difficult.)

From the little I know about SVG, I wish there was an open source alternative to Inkscape that didn't support standard SVG but used a proprietary format instead. Almost everything you need to create vector art, SVG doesn't support. Multiple outlines in a single shape? No. Varying thickness in an outline? No. Rounded corners on arbitrary vertices? No. Non-destructive boolean operations? No. I'm not even sure SVG suppo…
> I wish there was an open source alternative to Inkscape that didn't support standard SVG but used a proprietary format instead. It didn’t need be a proprietary format, it could just as well be a new open format. Inkscape could itself create an open format that they saved to by default and supported many features SVG does not. They they publish the specification for it. Done. A format doesn’t need to be popular, in…
If svgx files or whatever just had some non-svg node in the top level that contained all of the special inkscape-only info, you might even be able to keep it totally compatible with svg itself. (Just obviously, lacking the special inkscape features)
... regular svg...

That sort of thing makes me wonder if Inkscape shouldn't have a configurable "Post-processor" option like to that used for G-code, possibly on a per-file basis (add the editing commands needed after saving to a user-editable pane).
--edit--
Looking at the linked page that would be super trivial to implement.

Speaking of SVG spec, is there a guide on how to create SVG files with Inkscape that will render well on most web browsers supporting SVG? I have failed a number of times producing an SVG file that would render the same on browsers and in Inkscape editor window. This is frustrating.
fwiw I make everything a path, make it small and edit > crop to selection, then save as optimized svg - open with a Webbrowser - Show source - copy - paste into html - remove width and height (handled in the css) add the title etc and done I think. yay for Inkscape but please make dialog modals when multiple tabs are open come to the front and show themselves on macOS - don’t be shy

Thank you. This is the first time I've heard of the Graphite editor. I think it could benefit from availability in package reposirories and looking at the license, it appears the program itself is free under the Apache license but the artwork is non-free. It cannot be modified and commercial use is prohibited. When combined, Graphite as a whole is non-free so I won't be compiling this until the artwork is gone. I'll…
For those who are confused I believe you're referring to the application logo and branding. So basically the Firefox > Iceweasel case again. While the art you create with it is still yours.
Inkscape has its UI quirks but is really quite a fantastic tool for people who make things. It's my go-to tool for anything that looks like a 2D vector image or plot. I even use it to design vinyl motorcycle emblems: https://blog.bityard.net/articles/2022/June/diy-vinyl-cut-mo...
I am always surprised to see people recreating the faded/worn out branding of stuff they own when restoring them. I mean as a consumer I see it as a mark of disrespect from the manufacturer to plaster its logo everywhere. I am paying for the product, not to be an advertising billboard ffs! If you want me to advertise your product, let me negociate the terms and my retribution. This was particularly annoying on road b…
There are of course a large number of people who do the opposite. They take vintage bikes and chop them up into cafe racers or whatever. And that's fine too. Just not what I'm interested in.
Is it only me that, when I open Inkspace, I really cannot get anything done without watching a tutorial or reading docs / blog posts?
There's an obscured close button in the top right corner. If you want to skip the welcome dialog just click that. The second time it appears, you can uncheck "Show this every time" in the lower left corner and then click "New Document". ...or you could click Save on the first dialog and then click " Thanks!". You'll get the same dialog as above when you'd have closed it with the button in the corner.

Of course anything you make yourself is yours. I'm not sure how the license can confuse anyone into thinking it wouldn't be. It likely wouldn't fly with the law anyway. Unless it was all saas.

I think they are implying they can't figure out how to use the program, not complaining about the helpful start screen.
Sorry.
