Tracing Bitmaps - any plans to provide more info in UI?

Asked by Katy Webster

Hi,

I'm new to Inkscape, and have been trying (and failing!) to trace bitmaps. The Trace Bitmaps dialog provides very little guidance on what each setting actually does, and I'm randomly changing numbers and clicking radio buttons trying to get the output to work... it would be really useful if there was more text to describe each control.

Thanks,
Katy

Hi Katy,
I guess you should maybe take a look at the tutorial first ;-)
See here: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Trace.html
and here: http://inkscape.org/doc/tracing/tutorial-tracing.html

If after reading these, you have some suggestions which text should be added to the dialog, please file a bug report and someone will see how this can be improved.

Can you help with this problem?
