am i the only one using #inkscape on #pmos #linuxmobile ?

we desperately need scrollbars (it was a huge pain to modify the #posmarketos logo for the docs).

see:

@pocketvj v1.4 does not work properly on small screens at all, I got an old 12.5" thinkpad where v1.4 is not usable until I remove toolbars (and actions) etc. I ended up reverting to v1.1. I can guess on mobile the issue is much worse. I have inkscape running through termux on Android (tablet), there it works ok, but it's also an older version (v1.1).

@rodlie

thanks, so i am not the only one having issues 😅

i will try with downgrading...

@doctormo

on android i run it in a debian proot container and there i have scrollbars 🤷

@AlexanderMars

tbh. i might switch over to https://graphite.rs/ when they release a binary (i hate software as a service)

@pocketvj @rodlie @AlexanderMars

There's an issue being worked on to fix the issues with widgets demanding too much screen estate by default. I hope this will help in 1.5 (or 1.4.1)

@doctormo @pocketvj @rodlie I don't doubt it, honestly Inkscape has improved so much in the last two years.

@pocketvj hmm graphite looks interesting, I will try anything that's not SAAS.

Lately I'm playing around with https://www.feather.art which unfortunately is neither #foss nor on linux(or android). It's unlike any drawing tool I've used before. It might be a while before we see something like this from the foss community. I hope we don't have to wait too long.

@pocketvj yeah, I'm as foss as I can be, and I will try anything that isn't saas. To satisfy my curiosity if nothing else. I do have an old ipad pro that I keep around, most clients are unfortunately Mac or Windows only, and it forces its way into my workflow.

@pocketvj you probably are, Inkscape really needs an UI overhaul for touch devices. I daily drive it on a Surface pro running Fedora, and the UI just isn't set up for touch. Still, there's really more pressing issues like CMYK support.

Be nice to have Inkscape for tablets, really.
