Features

ScreenshotInkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

Inkscape Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Platform including the Menu and Backup Utility.

For the confused, there was no official 0.92.2 release. There was a build that a problem was noticed with that was posted on the publisher site. The issue was fixed and it's been repackaged as 0.92.2 Rev 2.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Whenever I launch the PA platform, the updater (which is set to automatically check on startup) prompts to update Inkscape 0.92.2 Rev 2, though it already has been updated. Completely uninstalling (i.e. removing) the app doesn't help.
Please let me know if you need any more details (screenshots, system info etc).

This is due to difference in version numbers between Inkscape Portable and the updater database.

Inkscape Portable is showing a version number of 0.92.2.1 whereas the database is looking for 0.92.2.2.

We will get this fixed as soon as possible. For the time being, you can ignore the recommendation.

I've updated the updater database. We generally do a .2 at the end when it's a Rev 2 but didn't for this one.
