It's good seeing your UX testing of the page left and page right controls. What those buttons do is MOVE the page left and right. Likely items that were locked didn't move. But this is probably something that will trip people up a lot.

The navigation is actually on the status bar, bottom right.

As a seasoned Inscape user, this is really great news, especially paging system. And yes, on Linux it performs like a charm, I don't know what is going up with Windows and Mac versions, but Inscape definitely have more performance issues (and even occasional crashes). It is on par with Corel Draw, except when it comet to printing. Overall, Inkscape is one of this programs, I can't imagine myself doing game development.

I do game design for tabletop games and the multi-page document features got me excited; it will be very useful for RPG character sheets and double-faced cards. The batch export will be nice too for card collections.

One thing that I really like is that now we can use the mouse scroll wheel to access more tools in the toolbar (like the zoom tool used to be hidden at the bottom).
Place the pointer on the toolbar and used the scroll button...
Another thing is that now it's easy to align object to the center of the page or to other objects just by dragging them with the mouse (Snapping > Alignment).

The incredible thing about Inkscape that you miss in your reviews is that it is SVG down to its bones—you can even bring up the SVG source and manually edit it, add CSS styling, IDs, event handlers, add aliases to curve groups, etc. and still continue to edit the drawing. As a result, it’s not as performant as Affinity for a general purpose vector drawing program, but it has HUGE advantages over Affinity if browser-rendered SVG, particularly non-static content, is your primary goal.

I remember the first time I saw a vector image.
Dark magic.

Those buttons are for changing the order of the pages. To navigate through them use the arrows on the bottom right.

Thanks for the alert. I've been using 1.2 alpha then beta for production on Linux, and they were both super stable. Now the final release is here, going to download right away.

Rly glad to see native m1 support now it actually performs much better

2:23 “Circular” is a new feature. Can’t find it in 1.1.

[ghaznavipc]

him: shows multi page
me (as inkscape user): 🤯

[karlstenator]

GameMaker are making a move to support SVG file format sooner than later.

[ingframin]

The lag though… The should really spend some dev time to put in hardware acceleration

[mrunion]

I read (but can't currently find the link) that changing the color profile on the M1 Macs can greatly improve the speed. IIRC the color profile to use was Internet and Web (sRGB). I haven't tried it because I don't have Inkscape installed anymore.

[lawrencedoliveiro]

7:10 That functionality was there before, it’s just some new features added.

One step closer to cutting ties with big brother Adobe

I think the parts that moved to the new page were layers?
