------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 26 23:27:11 +0000 2007 ------- This is not new information, but I haven't seen it posted anywhere on this issue. It might actually constitute sever issues. The maximum resolution you can export in Draw is 2048x2048. It is impossible to export a PNG or JPEG of any greater resolution. If you are looking for a high-quality rasterized output for printing, the printed result is only 3.4" wide at 600dpi or 1.7" wide at 1200dpi. Even at a very low 300dpi, it is only 7" wide, not enough to fill a typical letter sized paper. And to get the maximum 2048 wide export, you have to lie about the paper size, choosing a huge 30"+ paper size and resizing your graphics to fit the page, prior to exporting. This [artifically low] resolution limit severely cripples Draw for any serious graphics work. For example, I might want to make a collage of a few dozen photographs and then save it as a JPEG to be sent to a photo developer for a large print. Right now, we can only export a 3 megapixel output! Another example- I have a complex network diagram, I want to export it so I can send it to a printing business to blow up onto a 4 foot wide poster. They don't accept ODF or any of the few vector formats supported in OO. I have to use JPEG. The result- a printed diagram that can't be read due to low resolution. Note that DPI really is just a hint in a graphics file, it really doesn't mean anything until it is time to display or print it. It would exceptionally useful if the export dialog asked the user the desired resolution and told the user the actual number of pixels wide by pixels high. In summary: 1) The DPI setting has no effect when exporting 2) The maximum resolution for raster exporting is too low 3) There is no user choice in export resolution 4) There is no user feedback for actual resolution during an export (Please note that someone should change the "platform" setting on this issue, it is not MS-Windows XP specific, it affects all platforms.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
