Thanks so muchπ
Thank you, Mr. Owens. From the bottom of my heart. InkScape is my favourite graphics tool.

How many of those millions went to his bank account? I'm guessing not many.

I've been using Inkscape for over 10 years now. I had no idea the man behind it wore a bowler hat and now I will never use another vector program again.
Inkscape user here. Thanks Martin!
I don't use Inkscape, but that is a good hat.
- Inkscape is awesome
- Much like Gimp, Inkscape is not at all a competitor to the adobe suite if you are a professional
- A hobbyist using hobbyist software is not loss of money for The most feature rich professional oriented software out there

Inkscape is good but it can't replace illustrator, especially for the needs of someone willing to pay $1000/year for it
Maybe the affinity suite is more appropriate (ROI in just 2 months of adobe subscription)
Is Mr Owens British perchance?
I urge you to watch his update videos, he's such a neat guy, and he rocks a ska/dandy style
Any Inkscape pros know the best way to combine two pdfs using it? The page creation menus are clunky to me, and it's hard to keep the pages in order.
Do you really need inkscape to do it? Because you can just use pdfsam.
or pdfarranger works well, too.
Or pdftk or pdfunite. Lots of different options

inkscape is great, I use it all the time
I made nearly all the 2D assets in my game with Inkscape. It wouldn't have been possible without it.
This guy is a hero. Inkscape is so much better than Adobe. Also, I couldn't have done some recent PDF to AutoCad conversions without that software. Autocad chokes on pulling vectors out of PDFs for some reason. It does it, but it is a mess. The bad thing is I know it could do better because if you just pull in the same PDF that it struggled with as an external source, it renders it fine, including all the vector information. I could be doing something wrong, but it shouldn't be that hard.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Some wear bowler hats
Seriously fuck adobe. We use them at work and they have the shittiest management portal in the universe and also make it so hard to cancel subscriptions.
