You'll get 15 seconds warning!) (Also, if you use message rules in Windows Live Mail, get ready to find a new email program. (In my experience, you have more to worry about with Windows 10 itself, than with Inkscape! I found Windows 10 to be so awful, I actually did revert to Windows 7!) (Just so you know, sometime in the first few days you have it running, it's going to shut down and lock you out, for 5 or 6 hours, while it goes to get updates.

If you do need to scale some older files, and you don't understand the dialog, feel free to ask us for help Some examples of when size really matters are: you're sending your Inkscape files to a cutter/plotter, such as CNC, laser cutter, or several other technologies or it's a technical drawing. Or at least, we haven't had very many questions about it. It explains what it's for, it offers to make a backup for you, and it offers a couple of different ways to do the scaling, if you think you need to. Whenever you open a file that you made with an older version, Inkscape notices, and it presents you with a dialog right on top of the canvas, where you can't miss it. What the change of DPI means, is that if you want to edit an SVG file, which you first created in a version before 0.92, and the specific size of things in that file matter you need to (1) make a backup of the file, before you start to edit, just in case, and (2) scale everything in that file before you start to edit.īut don't worry about memorizing that, if you decide to upgrade Inkscape. If you don't know what DPI is, then this change probably won't matter for you. All previous versions of Inkscape used DPI of 90. Starting with Inkscape version 0.92, Inkscape's native DPI is 96.

Wouldn't that be pretty stupid for any software developer, to make a new version which can't open its own files? I'd be interested to learn where you are hearing this rumor.

Although you'll be missing out on tons of new features, which have been added since 0.48.Īny version of Inkscape will open files made with any other version of Inkscape. Inkscape 0.48 should run flawlessly on Windows 10.
