[Qgis-developer] QGIS + Inkscape

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Brylie

A very good thing would be to improve the SVG export from the print 
composer. In fact, this would mean to improve the SVG export in the Qt 
libraries. And from this work, other Qt applications would automatically 
benefit as well (a large number of applications).

Regards,
Marco
