        Fully agree that inkscape lacks features and is quite unstable

        It does lack many features, chief among them would be a quick startup time.

        The 4 stages of opening Inkscape, the 1st picture is when you click the icon.

          @lilbud lol!
          I saw Serif also does promos from time to time. We may get Affinity Designer at a even lower price. I'm downloading the trial right now.

            @udb23 I really have no need for a vector software, I just have Inkscape because its free and I hate Adobe Illustrator.

            Also, @mediamogul,

              @capeman Ended up directly buying it :-)
              Will start playing with it over the next WE.
              thanks again.

                Ha! While I'll always personally prefer Fleischer's more classic character design and Art Deco background style, there's no arguing that Hanna-Barbara was more prolific in the long run. Their complete stable of characters, while lesser known, rivaled that of Warner Bros or even Disney. Cartoon Network's re-imagining of the characters in the early 2000s is one of the gutsiest and most exciting resurrections of aging intellectual properties that I've ever seen. My particular favorite was 'Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law'.

                  My favorite Hanna-Barbara cartoon is Tom and Jerry, hands down the funniest of them all.

                    An excellent choice for classic HB. Unfortunately their various resurrections in more recent years have been hit or miss due to a constant effort to cater to younger, more sensitive modern audiences. Thank God for the originals though.

                      @mediamogul Tom and Jerry could never exist today in it's original form.

                        @lilbud I miss the old days of ultra violent cartoons. I sat around watching looney tunes all the time as a young child and I'm not running around shooting people point blank with double barrel shotguns. Sigh, better times.

                          @capeman sure. But I love hearing you ever time you explain away the amount of anvils, TNT and ACME gizmos you store in your garage.

                              @pjft Here's the finalized Favorites text logo SVG.

                              Took a while to make "simulating" all those shadows.

                              Did anybody test if now the size of folder icons and this logo are in line with size of other standard ES icons ?

                                @pjft Has any further progress been made on the custom-collections bit?

                                Who's Scruffy Looking?

                                  @udb23 thanks! I'll try it out on Tuesday when I have access to my dev pi.

                                  Looks great :)

                                    @udb23 Logo looks great! Did you end up giving Affinity a whirl?

                                      @capeman I installed it, watched some tutorials and played around a bit. Quite nice !
                                      Also I could appreciate how well it imports other vector formats. EPS has always been a headache but designer had no issues importing it.
                                      Logo was still finalized in inkspace as I'm used to it; will take a while to switch. Thanks again for the precious tips.

                                          @UDb23 Thank you, this looks great!

                                          I am sorry for the lack of responses here, I've unfortunately not had a lot of time to dedicate to any of this work recently :(

                                          I hope to be able to pick it up more actively next week. Sorry about that.

                                          I'll get back to you in this regard.

                                            @pjft don't worry at all! There's no urgency.
                                            Btw: have the same issue ;-)
