RE: [Inkscape-devel] crash when moving with arrow keys

I cannot reproduce this crash with the latest CVS, so I have to guess: 1. if you have ~/.inkscape/preferences, delete it, restart inkscape 2. if the problem persists, please send me your ~/.inkscape/preferences.xml - i suspect there's something wrong with your options.nudgedistance value >I was just trying to use the arrow keys to move an object and inkscape >crashed.

crash when moving with arrow keys
by Robert Crosbie 05 Dec '03

05 Dec '03

I was just trying to use the arrow keys to move an object and inkscape crashed. Sucks because I lost the changes to the document I was working on. I did a few experiments and it seems that moving a selection with the arrow keys is broken. This line M 100 100 L 100 200 moved here after pressing right arrow or alt+right arrow M -1.34217e+09 100 L -1.34217e+09 200 Inkscape will likely freeze or crash if you try to move objects a few times with the arrow keys.

RE: [Inkscape-devel] dockable toolbars

>- The secondary toolbar needs more material and more cosmetic work. In >selector, its buttons should be divided into three groups by small spaces >or dividers: group buttons, z-order buttons, rotate and flip buttons. I did button grouping, added some spacing around and between groups. I think it's starting to look acceptable. Now we need to add more stuff there. On the other hand, I could not find a way to make the floating toolbars transient :( gtk_handlebox provides no clues on this whatsoever, and was unable to figure out the GTK_WINDOW of the detached toolbar. So at least on KDE, toolbars sink miserably when floating which makes them almost unusable. Any ideas? _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

libnr precision and maximum zoom
by bulia byak 05 Dec '03

05 Dec '03

Following our year-ago sodipodi discussions, I tried to increase the maximum zoom. It did not work because at about 70x, paths were simply disappearing. So I went into libnr and simplistically replaced all floats with doubles and all shorts with ints. And it worked! Now I can draw at 256x and there does not seem to be any serious problems. I have uploaded the (very simple) patch to the patch tracker. Please test and report your experience. What should be done: - The patch must be reviewed by someone more knowledgeable than me. I don't quite understand what I did (even though it worked). - The precision of SVG files must also be increased. Currently it's 6 digits; will 8 digits be enough? - There are some nasty renderer bugs that are made more evident by this change. See this wiki page: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RendererIssues If someone can have a look at the bugs listed there it would be really great. _________________________________________________________________ Browse styles for all ages, from the latest looks to cozy weekend wear at MSN Shopping.

jabber room (again)
by Kees Cook 05 Dec '03

I'm having trouble with jabber.org again. If other people are too, try "inkscape" in conference.gristle.org. The admin there says he fixed the permission trouble. (And if it still doesn't work, can people send me a private email with their jabber client and version?) -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

On a second thought, no, since floating toolbar still remembers its "native" window and reappears docked there when you close it, it's better if a toolbar always stays local to its window, no matter docked or not. So we must find a way to make the floating toolbars transient to their native window only. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

dockable toolbars
by bulia byak 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

First, WOW! I did not expect the toolbars to be dockable so soon. Mental, you rock :) Second, if we want to make a release with this dockability, there are a couple of things that must be fixed asap. - We need to decide if floating toolbars are to be shared among documents (as are dialogs), or stay local to each document. FOr the latter, it's a simple sp_transientize call on the floating toolbar window so it becomes transient to the current document. For the former, it's a bit more complex, see any of the dialogs I did recently for the code. I think floating toolbars must behave as all other dialogs, i.e. be always transient to the current document. We'll also need to remember in prefs their docked/undocked status, size and position. - Both toolbars must either be not resizable (perhaps easier in the short term), or they must reflow the buttons so they all fit. Now you simply cut them off when resizing. - The secondary toolbar needs more material and more cosmetic work. In selector, its buttons should be divided into three groups by small spaces or dividers: group buttons, z-order buttons, rotate and flip buttons. Do you think I could start putting material into the secondary toolbar now, or should we better wait for Gtkmm? I want it to have at least a few non-button controls for the release so that people can have a better idea of what it's for. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
