by David Neary 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Hey there, The fifth annual GNOME conference, GUADEC [GNOME Users and Developers European Conference], will be held in Kristiansand 28-30.June, 2004. We need a logo for the event. Ideally we are looking for a logo including the GNOME footage with a local Norwegian touch. If you are interested in helping out please send your proposal to guadec-planning@...45... as soon as possible. The logo will be used for promotion, on website, t-shirts etc.. Since the logo will be used on material of many different sizes, proposals should be in a vector format if possible. All proposals will be on display on the website of the conference. Many thanks, The GVADEC V Team You can check out some more information on the GUADEC website at http://2004.guadec.org/

banner printing

Hi all, I have a 8.25 x 40" svg graphic that I want to print as a template for a scrollsaw project. I'd like to try and print it out on 8.5x14 paper which I can then tape together for my template. Is there any way to do this using inkscape or some other means under Linux. I have to admint, I'm not familiar with inkscapes printing mechanism because I always export my images to bitmaps and use gimp for final manipulations before printing. Thanks, Rob. http://members.rogers.com/rcrosbie _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Why not - if you think it's ready for the release, or can be readied quickly :) I would love to see it and criticize it :) _________________________________________________________________ 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…

I checked in the Tutorial command in the Help menu. It simply opens tutorial.svg from INKSCAPE_PIXMAPDIR, where it is put by "make install" from icons/. Feel free to change the directory structure; I don't know hot to properly modify makefiles, so I just listed tutorial.svg next to about.svg in icons/makefile.am and it seems to work. Win32 build files may need updating, too. The tutorial is very preliminary, but I think I will finish it before the release. Suggestions welcome. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Update on Inkscape release plan
by Bryce Harrington 30 Jan '04

It sounds like there's a desire to push the release back a week, due mainly to concerns about mail trouble from the virus. Bryce

What's wrong with the list? I don't see any mail in it since yesterday. >The idea was to have inkscape check for ~/.inkscape/default.svg and open >that for "run without any parameters", and if ~/.inkscape/default.svg >were missing, to use the system wide default.svg given in >doc/default.svg. This gives us the ability for users to start with >their prefered document options (such as page size, colour, etc). The >tutorial should explain how this works so that the user can change the >default easily (checkbox in save?). We almost have it already. It now works via the default namedview template in preferences.xml. It allows you to set paper size, color, border width & shadow, grid and guide options, plus zoom and center of view. As for easy setting, I think now the best approach is to add a "save as template" button in the Document Options doalog, now that I've collected all document options into one dialog. Ultimately, we'll need a support for multiple external templates and a "new for template" option, but for now the template in preferences.xml is good enough I think. >I'm suggesting we try and get this in for this release, particularly if >someone can work on the tutorial to explain some of the features that >people tend to miss when they first try out inkscape(knots, offsets, >printing to .ps). I'm writing to you because you would be the best >person to implement the logic for this (I think?). So the logic is mostly there, except for the button, which should not be difficult to add. But you can edit your template in preferences already, and it may make sense to mention this in docs somewhere... but on the other hand, keyboard shortcuts are more important, and we still don't have them in the Help menu. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

default document

For some reason nathan's mail isn't getting through -- he asked me to forward this: Subject: default document From: Nathan Hurst <njh@...32...> Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 12:34:41 +1100 To: bulia byak <bulia@...23...>, inkscape <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Hi Bulia, sometime ago we discussed the idea of making a default document open when inkscape is first installed, perhaps only opening on the first time use of inkscape, perhaps until the user changes their default document settings. The idea was to have inkscape check for ~/.inkscape/default.svg and open that for "run without any parameters", and if ~/.inkscape/default.svg were missing, to use the system wide default.svg given in doc/default.svg. This gives us the ability for users to start with their prefered document options (such as page size, colour, etc). The tutorial should explain how this works so that the user can change the default easily (checkbox in save?). I'm suggesting we try and get this in for this release, particularly if someone can work on the tutorial to explain some of the features that people tend to miss when they first try out inkscape(knots, offsets, printing to .ps). I'm writing to you because you would be the best person to implement the logic for this (I think?). njh

fullscreen mode
by Johan C 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Hi, I'm interested in coding on inkscape. I've coded for Worldforge together with Bryce. I've talked a bit with some developers on gristle.org and decided to hack in fullscreen mode and maybe patterns later on. If anyone can point me in the right direction for the fullscreen mode that'd be great. So far, I've seen a gtk_window_fullscreen function somewhere with a GDK_F mask shortcut. I'll make this F11 as in the keyboard shortcuts todo on wiki. People on gristle.org suggested putting in a menuitem for it in the View menu. Any suggestions are welcome. Johan
