December 2003 - Inkscape Devel

Inkscape website above soft quota

There is a 100M soft-limit for project files on SourceForge. We're at 124M. 3.4M backup 0 cgi-bin 0 htdocs 9.1M inkscape 544K inkscape_project 106M inkscape_web 296K wiki 4.1M wiki_db 19M inkscape_web/cvs-snap 40M inkscape_web/doc 40M inkscape_web/doxygen 3.3M inkscape_web/inkscape_web 1.8M inkscape_web/magnethead 2.3M inkscape_web/screenshots Perhaps the doxygen files could be trimmed down? Or else maybe we should consider hosting them from another location? Bryce

I think any small and unconnected requests may go to the tracker, but any larger requests that need discussion, or groups or interrelated requests, must be on wiki under "New features discussion" (hierarchized and categorized if possible). _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Bug priorities
by Bryce Harrington 06 Dec '03

06 Dec '03

I've gone through the non-prioritized bugs in the SF bug tracker and assigned them priorities of 9, 6, or 3. We should not release until all priority 9 bugs are resolved. We should also seek to close as many of the priority 6 bugs as we can within the time available. Priority 3 bugs can be left until after the release, although many will be quick fixes and would be nice to get resolved. I've assigned a few bugs to people, and would encourage everyone to look through the list for ones they know how to fix, and take them if they're not taken already. There are seven priority 9 bugs, none of which have owners yet. Most have to do with saving/opening, and thus can impact user confidence a great deal. Many of the priority 6 bugs are crashes, and are thus important for that reason, even if they occur infrequently. Bryce

a few bugs I need tested...
by Jonathan Phillips 06 Dec '03

06 Dec '03

Hello, Well, I've finished transferring as many bugs that still have problem in the most recent build of inkscape-20031203, to the inkscape bug tracker on sf.net. There are still a few I need help with either because I do not know how to test them, or they require win32/mac os X. The ones to check from http://sf.net/projects/sodipodi bug tracker: #642384 Misrendered file -- text not aligned #834520 Crash when using a huge R1/R2 value for star shape #830980 LandScape Printing #768804 Sodi doesn't refresh font list; crashes reading deleted font #751439 UTF8 in font names creates problems Please report back to me which one you looked at and the outcome because I'm trying to keep track of the transfer with a spreadsheet. Also, if the bug still exists, please post the outcome on the bug tracker. Thanks, and after these 5 are looked into, the transfer of bugs is complete. Then we need to hack on them ;) Thanks, Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

Maybe the renderer subsystem can give us the true bounding box of an object? I think this would make sense. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

style.c crash
by bulia byak 06 Dec '03

06 Dec '03

Latest cvs crashes when doing convert to curves, I localized this crash to: /* markers */ p += g_snprintf (p, c + BMAX - p, "marker:%s", from->marker[SP_MARKER_LOC]); p += g_snprintf (p, c + BMAX - p, "marker-start:%s", from->marker[SP_MARKER_LOC_START]); p += g_snprintf (p, c + BMAX - p, "marker-mid:%s", from->marker[SP_MARKER_LOC_MID]); p += g_snprintf (p, c + BMAX - p, "marker-end:%s", from->marker[SP_MARKER_LOC_END]); in style.c. Bryce, I guess this is your recent code, so perhaps you can guess how to fix this. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Gtk Buttons
by MenTaLguY 06 Dec '03

06 Dec '03

It turns out that SPIcons weren't equipped to deal gracefully with situations where they were allocated less space than they were requested. I fixed this, as well as adjusting the buttons' requested size slightly. While I was mucking around in there, I also removed the code that drew random garbage in icons that weren't present (it turns out to have been a deliberate decision in Sodipodi). Anyway, CVS HEAD now has standard Gtk buttons. -mental

If at least some WMs get it right, let's leave detachability in place. I'll add a note to the Release Notes for KDE users. I will also try to find out if I can file a bug with KDE or check if such bug is already filed. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…
