undoing text node changes
by bulia byak 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Mental: I noticed that editing a text node in the XML editor does not complete transaction (unlike e.g. editing an attribute) and thus breaks undo. So I inserted sp_document_done() into sp_xmlview_content_changed() in widgets/sp-xmlview-content.cpp. This fixed the broken undo, but: 1. I could not find out what document we are editing, so I did the document_done function on SP_DT_DOCUMENT (SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP). Can you rewrite it without ACTIVE_DESKTOP? 2. Now that the text node changes are undoable, undoing editing a text object in XML editor has the same problem as in this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=861462&group_id=93… That is, if you create a text node, switch to any other tool, and then reproduce this bug's sequence but using XML editor instead of F8, the result is the same. Which proves that the source of the problem is not text tool, but the wrong way text node changes are logged and undone by the repr logger. It was only obvious in text tool because no other tools create/edit text nodes. Can you please have a look into it? _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

For this, I will program "select under" by ctrl-alt-clicking in selector. Not ideal, but works in many situations. Stay in one place and ctrl-alt-click repeatedly watching the statusbar that shows what is selected, it will cycle through the entire stack of objects at this point. And lest I forget, the raise/lower commands need to be rewritten so that the selection, too, cycles through only the objects that overlap it, not all the objects of the document as now (this presently makes lower/raise almost unusable in large documents). _________________________________________________________________ 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…

[Fwd: [Sodipodi-list] basics]
by Jonathan Phillips 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

FYI! I sent her an email... jon -----Forwarded Message----- From: sosman <sourceforge@...186...> To: sodipodi-list(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Sodipodi-list] basics Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2004 20:05:22 +1100 I am having difficulty with even the most basic things with sodi podi. I am sure it can do what I want judging by pics people have done with it but I have almost zero experience with vector drawing packages. The kind of graphic I want to make is embarassingly simple, in fact I got something looking like what I want at http://metrak.com/tmp/no.svg but I cheated by just using a circle and line then adjusting the stroke width. I suspect when I send this to my print shop to cut out a vinyl mask the result won't be what I would like. I guess I really need to make the outline of the shape into vectors. Some basic things I haven't figured out: - how to construct an arc with the "circle, ellipse and arc" tool. - how to join the ends of an arc with a straight line. - how to centre concentric circles and then make sure the line is symmetrical. If any one could point me at a basic tutorial or give me a heads up on these newbie questions that would be most appreciated. cheers ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

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/index.php?func=detail&aid=859364&group_id=9… which could not be reproduced outside of my machine. So please test the tutorial by zooming out as far as you can, and report if you get a crash. Now I will write an XSLT transformation to automatically generate an SVG page with the keyboard shortcuts for reference, also to be linked from Help. I think it's nicer and more instructive to present Inkscape help in Inkscape, instead of running an external browser :) _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoi…

O'Reilly Open Source Convention
by Ted Gould 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

Okay, So I'm going to submit an abstract to present Inkscape at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. I think it'll be good publicity for the project (with many people that wouldn't see it otherwise) and it's a cheap conference to go to as I can stay with Bryce ;) Here's the info on the conference: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2004/ And here is my first shot at an abstract: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OSCon2004Abstract Ideas? Comments? Thoughts? Free at the end of July to come to Portland? --Ted

#if 0 code cleanup work
by Bryce Harrington 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

Hi all, In the Roadmap for 0.37 one of the code-cleanup tasks we identified was to go through the codebase and examine some dead code that has been disabled by putting it into '#if 0' blocks. It's kind of grunt work, but it really needs to be done. We could put it off for a future release, but it'll still be gruntwork. I figure why not get it out of the way? If we all chip in, it won't be that big of a deal to finish. We'd asked for volunteers earlier but at this point maybe it'll be best to just parcel it out. I've split the review work up into a dozen sub-tasks so we can divide the work amongst ourselves. I did one section (the 'widgets/' subdir) and found it only took an hour or two to complete. Could I ask each of the following people to tackle the indicated sections? johan: *-context.cpp files ted: desktop*.cpp and svg-view.cpp files tvon: sp-gradient.cpp, sp-root.cpp ishmal: file.h, interface.cpp, geom.cpp, inkscape.cpp, and style.cpp pjrm: *-chemistry.cpp and seltrans.cpp bulia: knotholder.cpp, nodepath.cpp, rubberband.cpp, object-edit.cpp, and object-ui.cpp bryce: widgets/, dialogs/ mental: display/ rejon: libnrtype/ This then will leave four remaining areas for whomever gets feeling ambitious, or for anyone that'd like to participate that isn't in the above list: * bonobo/ * svg/ * helper/ * xml/ To do the work, basically just grep for 'if 0' in your section to find the files, and examine each. If you aren't sure what the code does, ask on Jabber, IRC, or the mailing list. Delete the code unless it seems valuable and worth keeping, in which case please write a detailed comment describing a) what it does, b) why it's worth keeping, and c) what needs to be done to bring it back into the codebase proper. Thanks, Bryce
