inkscape VS rlottie

The contents are rendered through gtk/cairo which not only goes through https://www.xquartz.org/ but also doesn't use GPU rendering (it was experimental 3 years ago, maybe better now). The main issue seems to be that neither Inkscape nor gtk people have much low level Darwin experts or time available to invest in debugging the whole rendering stack. See for example https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1614 and all the other referenced issues for all the gory details.

There's a year old issue https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3227 with no visible progress and a medium priority label. I hope it gets more dev focus soon.

Here's a bug report related to this. Also here's a video of this bug with the oldest version of Inkscape that I still have lying around (0.94.2 i.e. 2019, but it's likely the bug is even older than that), and a similar thread on here from more than two years ago.

Yes. Only in specific circumstances, though. It's not really that big of a deal.

Arc handles can't be snapped and it's a known issue. It seems like you're using guides, though, so you can just double click the guide to get its angle and manually enter it as the 'Start' or 'End' angle in the toolbar.

This is a known issue. It seems like it's related to a new setting that was added in recent versions. In the preferences under 'Behavior → Selecting' disable 'Paste above selection instead of layer-top' to get the old, non-buggy behavior back.

See the ASCII table at https://www.rapidtables.com/code/text/ascii-table.html. Have seen it happen in Inkscape on Windows, too: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4071

There's libMuseSamplerCoreLib.dylib, which I believe was placed there by MuseScore. There's also librlottie.dylib and libsndfilelsr.dylib. I'm not sure what these are. An online search tells me the first one is related to rlottie by Samsung, "a platform independent standalone C++ library for rendering vector based animations and art in realtime," and the second one “is related to libsndfile, a C library for reading and writing files containing sampled audio data.”

Eventually though, Telegram Desktop moved to use [rlottie](https://github.com/Samsung/rlottie), because QtLottie was just too broken.

Lottie/RLottie for animated assets (or AnimatedVectorDrawable)

Was amazing contributing as an open source contributor to the Samsung team at https://github.com/Samsung/thorvg and https://github.com/Samsung/rlottie.

`rlottie` is used in Discord and telegram for animated stickers and `thorvg` is the work-in-progress next generation animated vector / static vectors technology.

Hope that animated vectors is important to more people.
