win32 test build
by Mael 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Hello, I tried to build what is currently in anonymous cvs. Here are (new) problems I faced in building inkscape with MinGW (and gcc not tried g++) * modules/ps.c `SIGPIPE' undeclared -> I commented the call to signal , don't know what it does and how to fix it * toolbox.c toolbox.c: In function `sp_toolbox_file_create': toolbox.c:342: `action' undeclared (first use in this function) -> Someone has removed the declaration SPAction *action; * modules/extension.c undefined reference to `mkstemp' -> see http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-mkst… ? * Libxml2 I had to use version 2.4 of dll because 2.6 results in a crash. Anyone has tried to link against 2.6 on linux ? To try it : 1- Install gtk runtime from http://www.dropline.net/gtk/download.php 2- Download http://195.221.122.126/tmp/inkscape-0.36cvs-w32.exe [1.22 Mo], extract, and change the path to your gtk libs in inkscape.bat 3- Run inkscape.bat Almost not tested but it seems that the problem when regional decimal symbol = comma (instead of dot) is back (don't know if it's due to my build or what) :( I've not included translations in the archive.

Merci beaucoup! :) It looks like magic to me :) but it actually works - at least under my win98. Rough around the edges, but seems to be basically usable. At least my own stuff seems to work. Transient windows are ok (with one small glitch which I think I know how to fix). Keypad works as expected. Problems I've seen so far: - constant stream of messages about being unable to find some "MS sans serif 7" font. - one crash upon exit. Although I did not test much yet. Re: compilation problems, feel free to patch toolbox.c. Not sure about the others, they need to be looked into - if you figure them out that would be great. If you don't have developer access, ask Bryce, I think it's not a problem. Even if you just compile the windows version from time to time, that will be much help. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/

User Manual
by Cédric GEMY 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

I've just put a first french release of the Sodipodi User Manual on http://www.svgfr.net. This only deals with tool description. I'll now work on themas (working with colors ...) and tutorials. I'm proposing to begin a translation of the existent to english and also to make it useable for Inkscape. If english speaker are ready to help me, or correct my mistakes, I'm OK. Cédric

new menu
by bulia byak 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

The new menu looks nice, now if only I could compile it: window.c: In function `sp_utility_window_new': window.c:56: `GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_UTILITY' undeclared (first use in this function) window.c:56: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once window.c:56: for each function it appears in.) I guess I need to upgrade my gtk, right? One comment on the screenshot: while you are at it, could you remove the minimize button from the toolbox? It really serves no useful purpose. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/

preferences broken?
by bulia byak 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

I gave up trying to find out why inkspace_dispose does not run, nor whether it is supposed to run, so I did this: void inkscape_exit (Inkscape *inkscape) { // added if (inkscape->preferences) { inkscape_save_preferences (inkscape); } gtk_main_quit (); } This works for me. Preferences are saved on exit. I also added saving preferences to segv_handler so they are not lost upon crash. What troubles me is that I still don't understand how it worked before. Has anyone changed anything recently that could affect this? Please object and criticize. If there are no objections I will commit this change. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/

Re: [Inkscape-devel] docked toolboxes
by bulia byak 18 Nov '03

> Out of curiousity, how many of you folks out there currently use docked > toolboxes? (i.e. extra toolboxes embedded in the document window) > >I'm seriously considering killing the feature to free up UI space. On the contrary, I would like to eventually see all dialogs dockable, so that users can choose what they want docked and what they want floating. This seems to be how the modern apps behave. I agree that with transiency, floating dialogs are now usable, but docked ones still have two advantages: - they don't overlap anything. This may be more intuitive for some users. - they better emulate the Windows model where, basically, floating child windows do not have a focus of their own. E.g. palettes in Illustrator are _all_ focused when the parent window has focus. Only a widget within a floating palette can have focus; if no widgets are focused, all input goes to the parent window. This is what our transients still cannot quite emulate but what dockables can (even though they are not floating). So, though it's not high priority at the moment, I'd like all dialogs to become dockable, and I don't like the idea of killing the only one which is dockable now. What are the benefits of this? -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/

Yes, the web interface at sf.net seems to be broken for some time, but checking out via CVS works and gives you the up-to-the-minute version. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/
