Discovering the poor export resolution was a major disappointment after putting
about 50 hours into a drawing. For that I got a 96 dpi tiff file -- same thing
in a png file, and a gif file. Obviously I spent some time trying to figure out
how to fanagle even a "draft" quality resolution of 300 dpi.

This makes the application suitable for exporting web graphics only. It is not
suitable for generating exports of bitmap print graphics. Yes, you can print
directly or pdf a file with cleaner output, but you can't export to a print
quality bitmap format.

This is a critical issue for a graphics program -- all the feature bells and
whistles are pointless if you don't have a usable output. Draw is basically a
screen etch-a-sketch as it stands now since it lacks normal graphics export
functions. Sure a lot of file formats are supported. But anywhere off a monitor,
the files themselves look like a 1980 dot matrix printout. 

I guess Draw is useful for making screen presentations (Impress), web page
graphics, and screen icons, but it's not the *document* level graphics program
it ought to be. You can pretty much do screen resolution graphics in any bit
painter, including old MSPaint. Why bother with vectors at 96 dpi?

Fix this one issue and you have a fine document graphics suite. Without it,
you're painting with your elbows.

This ought to be priority one.
