Re: Bug: Number type warning in help.c
by Robert Crosbie 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

Ok, so I turned off digest mode. In the mean time, excuse the cut and paste below: This patch doesn't really fix the problem, it only masks the compiler warning. If gtk_window_set_default_size is expecting gints, then sp_document_width should return a gint instead of a gdouble and the document structure should store its width and height as gint. I don't have the source accessible to me right now, so I can't see how it is defined. If a width was defined that exceeded INT_MAX, then when the gdouble was cast to a gint, data would be lost. A user would see a windo much smaller than they exected being displayed. Now, the other way round is fine, you can cast away if you're going from a gint TO a gdouble. Rob, From: Jon A.

keys, unsinkability
by bulia byak 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

I've collected shortcut suggestions from recent discussions; please see the top of TODO on the KeyboardShortcuts wiki and comment/add as appropriate. There's also a new proposal on keys for editing control points in node editor. Has anyone tested the unsinkable dialogs (toolbox and ctrl-shift-f)? Use the UnsinkableDialogs page to report. -- __________________________________________________________ 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] two patches

>I've activated CVS access for you as well as permissions in the tracker. >You can now take ownership of bugs and feature requests directly, and >help review/integrate patches. > >Bryce > Thanks! I'm also looking into the the two crash bugs regarding undo and deleting nodes. There's something not right in the SPRepr architecture. It's quite difficult to figure out the code, but now that I'm looking at the sodipodi Architecture document, it's making more sense. It seems that in the case of the of the undo, the code is not properly traversing the list and recognizing when child->next is null. I noticed there are a lot of asserts in the code. I find it actually makes it more difficult to trace problems. It think that instead of adding the asserts, the source of the condition should have been traced and prevented from occuring. Anyway, It's a good learning experience. I work with perl in my day job and haven't coded in c++ in years.

toolbox & misc
by bulia byak 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

One-toolbox-only patch is committed. Please test. Now the command to call toolbox is in the dialogs submenu. Any ideas on what key to assign it to? I tried to assign context menu to a single alt press, but this made alt-shortcuts unusable because it fired the menu no matter if any other key is pressed with alt or not. Does anyone know how to fix this? Another weirdness: I wanted to assign space to selector - it's used this was on Xara and it's very convenient. But the verb does not work with GDK_space. Looks like someone steals this key. So for now it's shift-space - this way it works fine. Thomas: Multiple instances of the program work for me, as do command line arguments. I agree that buttons should send focus to canvas, and maybe not only buttons. I will look into that. -- __________________________________________________________ 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/

Icons problem for win32
by Mael 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hello, Just for information I think I've found why some icons get broken on my win32 build Sometimes when creating dialogs Inkscape uses gtk_image_new_from_file (INKSCAPE_GLADEDIR "/icon_name.xpm"); I've specified a relative INKSCAPE_GLADEDIR ("./glade") The problem arises when you open or save a file in a directory other than the inkscape.exe root dir, This must change the current directory, and the next time you open the dialog it is created but can't find the image with the relative path Maybe this will be solved by use of GtkIconFactory .. (or dialogs created once at startup and show/hide) Concerning the interface I also found it quite inconsistent : some icons open dialogs, others are for tool selection, others are list of icons, some just perform one action (and can be clicked even if the action is impossible in the context..) etc etc.. Lot of work to do here ! good luck :) M

do we need multiple toolboxes?
by bulia byak 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Do we really need multiple floating toolboxes? I think the toolbox should be treated as any other dialog, i.e. only exist in a single copy. If a user requests a toolbox for the current window, it's only created if it didn't exist, otherwise it's brought on top. This does not apply to docked toolboxes; these may exist one per document window. I think it's saner and more intuitive that way. I have a patch that implements this. As a side effect it fixes some callback problems that resulted in crashes and failed asserts when I plugged in my unsinkability code into the toolbox (and quite probably some other problems too). If there are no objections I will commit. -- __________________________________________________________ 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] Escaping Dialogs
by T Ingham 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

I believe it's due to the fact that shift+tab ( to get into the to: field and eliminate people's names, substituting them for inkscape-devel ) constantly is a character in unix ( or something like that ) Either that or shift+delete creates characters now. Try this: ( Shift+Tab five times ) Or this: ( Shift+Delete five times ) Let me know please. thanks, -t

Can I just say Kudos! This is actually the first thing you learn in building apps that conform to Apple's HIG. -Thomas ps. Opening documents from the command line isn't working for me, but it could be os related.
