Hi, I'm new to Inkscape!
I made a "POW" like object in inkscape, and made the corners of the stroke pointy by increasing the miter limit. It worked, however when I try to export the image to GIMP or anything else, the pointy corners are gone and just have regular corners! I tried creating the image as a png too and they disappear in the png image also! Is there anything that I can do? (there are still there if I save it as a svg and reopen it in inkscape, just disappear when I save it as something other than svg, or try to open the svg in GIMP)
Image of the object and the miter limits attached.
Thanks!

Re: Miter Limit won't Export Out of Inkscape

Welcome to InkscapeForum!
Which Inkscape version and operating system did you find this with? I've tried PNG export and Save As PDF, and can't confirm this behavior. I'm using Inkscape 0.48 on Windows 7, 64-bit. Note that I used miter limit = 7.0 (blue star), because I can't see any visible difference between 4.0 and 5.0.

Re: Miter Limit won't Export Out of Inkscape
I am using version .48 Windows 8 RC 32 bit. (I tried running in compatibility mode too).
If I export as bitmap, I discovered it works, and I keep the points. But if I use save as, they are always gone.
I know Windows 8 is probably not officially supported yet, but up until now I've had 0 problems using it.
