Howdy there, I'm trying out vector graphics as an alternative to pixel graphics for my newest game project to change things up, and some friends recommended Inkscape, but so far I've had nothing but frustration
unfortunately. When I try and switch tools using the tool bars, there seems to be a 25% chance my clicks won't do anything, especially it seems when changing to
or
for some reason, and when it does I have to then wait a minute or so before I can change anything on the top(like say change from edit node -> add node or remove node). Also when using tools like
I am experiencing horrible lag.
Mind you this isn't like I start working, get a far amount done then start experience lag, no it starts almost immediately even with a fresh new project.
I've got 16 gigs of regular ram and 4 gigs on my video card so I don't think that I'm lacking in that department (especially considering my PC handles more taxing programs like Autodesk Maya perfectly fine)
My one suspicion is that I currently have inkscape installed on my ssd, which is pretty small (140 gigs or something like that) and has only about 10 or so gigs of free space at anyone time, mostly the OS and then just of my most regularly used programs(Maya, GameMaker, Unity). I seem to remember that Photoshop would use unused disk space as temp ram and that could cause slowdowns if there wasn't much disk space available. Does Inkscape do something similar? Should I move Inkscape to my storage HDD which has closer to 100 gigs of storage available?
Also I should quickly mention that I asked my friends who recommended Inkscape had any of these problems and they said no and they all are using 2-3 year -old macbooks so maybe this is an OS issue?
