November 2004 - Inkscape Devel

default template + screenshots
by bulia byak 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Just a quick note that I added an initial layer to the default template. Now new documents will be created with "Layer 1" active. Also the hide/lock buttons now at last look correct (though they are not functional yet). This means that Inkscape's face is now fit for shooting. Please send here (or submit to patch tracker) your screenshots showing the nice things you are doing with Inkscape CVS. The more complex and beautiful is the stuff on your canvas, the better. Show something that not everyone can do! The best shots will be published on the site in time for the 0.40 release.

Static c++ libs , part 2
by Bob Jamison 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Re: the previous msg , about the libgccpp.a probs. I tried manually linking Inkscape, inkview, and gimpgrad.so without libgccpp.a, and they worked perfectly. So, I would like to remove --enable-cplusplus from the boehm dependencies that we have, and libgccpp.a. Does that sound OK? As far as I can tell, we are always using Mental's C++ classes which use the Boehm C API. Is that right? If so, I'd like to only use that part of Boehm, and not have that extra .h file possibly polluting new() and delete(). Bob

Some more small things : * When no object is selected, the proportion lock icon is not sensitive (unlike the other icons of the same bar) (lock_icon_object.png) * When layer is unlocked, the lock icon is not displayed (lock_icon_layer.png) * A nice to have with layer would be an additional tool : move to another layer (not only previous and next) * It's the first time I'm playing with layers, and I'm a bit surprised : xml seems not to be affected by the operations I make with them (no lock or display tag in xml). I'm able to create new layers, create/delete some object in them, raise/lower them delete the layers. But I'm not able to move objects from a layer to another (even next/previous) and have no action on lock/display Pity, I felt really excited with them (it was the only thing that i was missing with Inkscape). But I hope (quite confident with it), it'll soon be 100% available * Unlike star/polygon and spiral tool bars, ellipse and rectangle have no "reset to default" icon * The 'object' menu may be renamed to 'selection' as all the operations it lists affect all the objects selected (selection) * The open ellipse item in the ellipse tool bar is not sensitive (unless the ellipse has been opened with the controls on canvas) * When I select several objects and call the fill and stroke dialog, it displays a kind of mean of the characteristics of the objects. Don't know if it is good, but it is not consistent with the 'properties' dialog (which displays nothing in this case and is even not sensitive) (fill.png and prop.png) * By the way, why not to add the "properties" icon in the main tool bar (with fill and stroke...) ? > > First : about layers. > > * The layer indication in the bottom of the window is not > clearly displayed.

Well yes and no : First : at the moment I'm at work, take some time during my pause (lunch break) to have a look and test some few things with Inkscape. But I'm under windows, and I face many problems opening/editing .po files. (If some of you know about any cool tool under win2k...) But when home, no problem (hope I will be able to take a look at it this WE) Plus it's not always obvious (French is not always very 'logical', plus I'm not a vector drawing software specialist and my vocabulary might be wrong sometime. I'd like to compare with other 'similar' software, but sorry I can't afford paying the price of Illustrator or Freehand just for having some vocabulary comparison) to have the appropriate translation, and I'd prefer discuss some points with some other French speaking translators (such as Frederic) before committing stupid mistakes.

A few things
by Gazal, Geraud (GE Healthcare) 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Hi Inkscape developers: a few things I've noticed on Inkscape, on the following configuration : Win2k, French, 5-Nov-2004 Build. First : about layers. * The layer indication in the bottom of the window is not clearly displayed. I think it is linked with the fonts used. Thought it had already been submitted and fixed, but in fact no. See the small capture. (layers.png) -> Do I submit a new bug ? * I'd like being able to rename the layers. It is ok from the xml editor, but I think it would be a good idea to be able to do it from the layer menu ? RFE ? * Last point : would it be a good idea to have a layer dialog (a bit like align/distribute...) ? I think yes, some people prefer having simply menu and shortcuts ? RFE ? Then : something I've noticed because of the different length of words according to the various translations. See small capture (trad2.png) When modifing an existing rectangle (elipse, star, spiral...), in French (but I think it might be present with some other languages), the tool bar displays 'angement' instead of 'Changement'. Is it possible to adjust the size of those displays dynamically ? (same thing with some other buttons) RFE ? BUG ? Final : (for Frederic) Bienvenue instead of Bienvenu would be great :) (I'm taking a look at the translation at the moment). Will give my a more detailed review later. (see trad1.png) For all (especially Mental) : the layer work is really huge. Inkscape is now covering 99% of my needs. Plus giving me 100% pleasure. Regards, Matiphas

n fact, until a last month, spammers used to disturb only a few pages each time, but now they are becomming more annoying. Each time, the wiki is spammed, it affects up to 20 pages.

URI class
by Jon A. Cruz 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Well... to get some stuff cleaned up, I've started a bit of tune-up on the URI class. I've added a few methods, but also added Doxygen comments. The latter might make a difference, as I'm counting on the class behaving the way I've described, so checking things over to be sure the docs are proper and in sync would be helpful. Of course, if anyone cares, they can also check to see if I did any late-night careless stuff. (Oh, and diff with ignoring whitespace).
