OK, I fixed this in the program's default preferences.

dialogs toggle
by bulia byak
Now F12 and ` toggle visibility of all open dialogs - please test. Feel free
to suggest another keyboard binding (or whether only one of the two should
be left).
When dialogs are hidden and you open a new dialog, all hidden ones are
unhidden - I think that's logical, but please argue if you can think of
another approach.

Thanks Robert! The fix is in, please test. This fixes at least the
inset-in-node-edit crash, and I will now test node editing via XML editor
more thoroughly to see if there are any other problems (not that I did not
test it before...)

more info on crashes
by Robert Crosbie
Since I can't seem to post to the inkscape jabber conference room, I'll post
an obervation here.
Related to my last two posts:
In sp_node_context_selection_changed, what should happen if nc->nodepath and
nc->knot_holder are both null? Currenly inkscape is dying in
sp_repr_remove_listener_by_data possibly because it is being passed
unitialized data.
This is the source of many of my crashes.
Rob.

windows profile directory
by MenTaLguY
I'm about to commit some changes to CVS re: the profile directory.
This one removes some of the less portable code (WTF did someone use
creat()!? we have fopen()!) and reduces the number of platform-specific
ifdefs to three. With some work it could probably be reduced further.
Also this fixes a problem with creating the profile directory initially.
The last change is that on Windows the directory is called "Inkscape"
instead of ".inkscape", to be marginally kinder to Explorer and more
Windows-like anyway.
(if we want to be really good Windows citizens, we should look up the
locale-dependent name of the "Application Data" profile directory and
create our subdirectory there, but that's a much bigger job. Bulia's
change is a _big_ improvement and gets us much of the way there.)

node editing crashes
by Robert Crosbie
After Bulia's request for bugs, I figured I'd submit this problem I've been
seeing lately in the current CVS:
When editing paths with both the GUI and the XML editor, inkscape will
crash. I always use the XML editor and node editor to position points in my
paths to make sure I get them exactly where I want them. I find I can only
make a few edits and inkscape will crash. Sometimes one switch between
editor and GUI and inkscape will segfault*, other times it will take 10 or
more. Having multiple paths may produce this problem faster (not sure).
Sometimes inkscape won't crash, but will reach a state where nothing can be
selected anymore and messages such as this will be produced:
** (inkscape:10227): CRITICAL **: file selection.cpp: line 523 (SPItem*
sp_selec
tion_item(SPSelection*)): assertion `SP_IS_SELECTION (selection)' failed

faile
d

I haven't submitted it to the bug tracker simply because I don't have a
clear way of reproducing it.
* I have disabled the SIGSEGV, SIGFPE and SIGILL handlers in my version:
// segv_handler = signal (SIGSEGV, inkscape_segv_handler);
// signal (SIGFPE, inkscape_segv_handler);
// signal (SIGILL, inkscape_segv_handler);
Cheers,
Rob.

We definitely need more and more testing and complaining users, so please
spread the word :) The current 66 bugs in the tracker is perhaps 1/5 of the
actual number of severe bugs...

Re: [Inkscape-devel] ctrl-tab

I just tested - Ctrl-Tab works in dialogs as before, it cycles through any
widgets, not only text fields (just like Tab). As for on-canvas text, it did
not have a ctrl-tab keybinding before and I don't think it needs to have it
now; when on canvas, ctrl-tab should always switch documents for
consistency. We do need, however, some key combination in the text tool to
jump from one text object to the next and back, but it must not be Tab or
Ctrl-Tab. Any suggections?
