crash in hmm dunno
by David Christian Berg 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

I have the latest debian package, but dunno what that is... can't you put something in the about dialog, so that I know... I never remember this terminal stuff. Anyways, I get a crash when I try to copy a text with a gradient fill. That is strange on the one hand and annoying on the other. I hope it's an easy to fix or fixed already. David

math operation in dialogs
by David Christian Berg 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

just wondering if I should file a bug, or if it's so simple that I don't need to. Especially in the guides and the positioning dialog it would be helpful to be able to put mathimatical stuff in there. Imagine you have a guide at 45.6 and want one 7 mm further to the right, you'd just type 45.6+7 and there you go... even more important is something like dividing by 2 or 3, I need that quite often. Btw: Since my laptop was for repair, I used CorelDraw, and I think for basic vector editing and … [View More]

fullscreen
by bulia byak 20 Feb '04

20 Feb '04

My comments: - the sp_fullscreen function should be perhaps in desktop.cpp, not in verbs.cpp - the planned shortcut for fullscreen is F11 - I don't think f is a good idea, it's easy to press it accidentally - use the last argument of true when registering a shortcut in shortcuts.cpp, so it shows up in the menu - on my KDE 3.14, fullscreen only works properly when there are no other maximized windows. If there's a maximized window and an Inkscape window over it, then calling fullscreen … [View More]

Extension loading example
by Bob Jamison 20 Feb '04

20 Feb '04

I made a small code example of loading dynamic extensions to something like Inkscape. I put a Zip file of the code here: http://troi.lincom-asg.com/~rjamison/inkscape/ext.zip Basically this does plugin loading Netscape-style. It scans a directory for files beginning with a given prefix ("ix" in this case) and the proper suffix for a shared object (".so" on Unices, ".dll" on Win32). It loads each object, finds a C function called CreateExtension. This is ---MUCH--- easier than linking to C++… [View More]

back to work
by Jonathan Phillips 09 Feb '04

09 Feb '04

Hey all, I just got back to my normal location at UC-San Diego. It is nice to be back in my 24 work zone. I'm thinking of a few things and decided that I would itemize rather than ramble-ize. 1.) PAYPAL: Do we have some form of paypal donations setup for our project. I would like to look into this. I've even been toying with the idea of getting some form of funding from UCSD to plugin to our project to "encourage" certain features to be implemented. I don't know if the "bounties" concept … [View More]

tutorial ready
by bulia byak 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

The Help > Tutorial is mostly written, please read and criticize. It's pretty big, but not complete of course. Maybe later I'll break it into a basic tutorial and an advanced tutorial. I'm also interested to see how it comes up with regards to fonts, window size, etc. Posting a screenshot of the tutorial to the site would probably make sense. BUG: When I zoom out from the tutorial page, it ultimately crashes. This looks like an instance of this bug: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/… [View More]

un-gtkmmification

Okay, I've removed our gtkmm dependency for now. I did preserve Spark's close confirmation dialog, although I reworked it a little bit to conform to standard Gtk practice. -mental

>Hmm, that gives me an idea... how do you feel about the idea of having a >more general 'viewport history' or something like that (which would >include zoom), orthagonal to the document undo history? It IS already a vewport history, that is, each list member in desktop->zooms_past stores four numbers that define the visible area _and_ zoom. However new members to this list are added only when you are zooming in or out, not when you are panning canvas at the same zoom. This is … [View More]
