Quick test saving as svg and using inkscape/pdf to load into XXP

Thanks Tao

Yes I tried the svg -> Inkscape -> PDF route earlier, but wasn't a great result with Canon dSLR clipart

lot of difference between the [stable]0.45 inkscape and the [development]0.46 current build [cairo pdf]

Yep - 0.46 has done a much better job for sure. Still a little difference, but not difficult to correct.
I don't have that portable version of I.S though. Would you have the direct link handy?

Many thanks Steve..

Also, I have WinRar installed, so no need for 7zip

pleasure - whilst you have the 046 - I'd suggest checking out the vector bucketfill tool - try filling bitmaps with vectors - very nice.

the tweak and stroke to path tools, whilst still a bit raw, are very promising too...

046 is in chill - should be a stable release befor too long.
