Yes, one of our developers is creating one. I thought it was up on the sf.net site, but looks like it is not. I will forward to our developers.

freeze
by bulia byak 06 Mar '04

Hi, you might want to have a look at: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=910799&group_id=9… This freeze is very similar to the one that was fixed by your patch, the only difference being that it happens on a text object and not on a shape. Maybe you could fix it too, by redoing NRArenaGlyphs the same way you redid NRArenaShape? _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Updated RPMS / SuSE 9.0 RPMS
by Peter Linnell 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Hi all, SuSE 9.0 gpg signed rpms are loaded onto the sourceforge page and I have refreshed the Fedora RPMS to make sure the inkjar option is compiled in. Sorry for the delay, but I did not want to release them until they were done properly. Cheers, Peter

Hi, just tested your new commands. I may not fully understand what they are intended to do, but: - sp_selected_path_cut works identically to the old intersection command. What's the point of having it? - sp_selected_path_slice does very strange things. See the attached svg that shows the original objects, the result of slicing, and then the result of attempting to undo that slicing, which requires three undo commands to fully restore the original object. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee® Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Apply perspective (and, in general, any mesh transformation) is much needed. It will need to wait however for internal restructuring (AST) to finish, if we want the transforms to be fully reversable, otherwise the implementation will be very messy. >It would be very cool to be able to select one or more points and then >have a scale tool to them scale points, or move away from each other. That's easier to implement but less useful. I may do this when I have time.

This is a gr8 idea. I've thought often about having tools to mirror points, apply perspective, add lines of symmetry and then move points in a shape and so forth. It would be very cool to be able to select one or more points and then have a scale tool to them scale points, or move away from each other. Check the screenshot.

Announcing The Inkscape 0.38 "BUG HUNT"!
by Bryce Harrington 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

With 0.37 happily out the door, we're ready to kick off the event you've all been looking forward to - yup, the BUG HUNT. Over the past few releases we've closed an insane number of bugs. Out of a total of 187 bugs that have been submitted, only 61 remain open. Particularly, we've been very attentive to close any bug that leads to a crash. No matter how obscure the bug, we don't want Inkscape to crash - ever! But there's a lot of smaller bugs that don't cause crashes, that are no less important to get fixed. Our goal for this release is to close a lot of bugs. Since we usually have focused mainly on the critical bugs, this time let's instead focus on the older bugs, that normally don't get much attention. Let's make our objective for 0.38 to either reduce the number of bugs submitted before the 0.37 release announce on 2/15/04 to fewer than 10, or to reduce our ratio of open-to-total bugs from 30% to 10%. 2/18 Goal ---- ---- 1. Bugs 841633-896992 52 9 2. Open/Total Bug Ratio 33% 10% Now, it may take some time for us to achieve this. If it looks like it's going to take significantly more than a month, then we should do a few 0.37.x point releases along the way. When we've achieved either objective 1 or objective 2, we will release 0.38. I think having a numerical goal will make this a fun release, even though it's just bug fixing, in that our progress towards the goal will be very easy to see. And having two objectives will hopefully help us avoid getting frustrated if we get stuck trying to meet one. A few notes on how to handle bugs. First, when reviewing a bug ask if it really is a feature request in disguise. If so, don't be shy about kicking it over to be an RFE. Second, you may find that the bug is a symptom of a larger underlying problem; in this case, perhaps consider finding some way to address the symptom directly and close the bug, and write up in detail what needs to be done to address the larger problem and submit that as an RFE.

integration again

05 Mar '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, looking for integration again, this time I will try a different approach: Now that you are conversating with scribus devs, what about a whole new theme for Scribus, Inkscape and The Gimp? - -From scratch - -Usable - -eye candy - -proffesional There will be a lot of work to do, and this challenge can also discover some usability probs. Also, I will not do it if it's not distributed with the main package.

Inkscape Presentation Prep.
by Jonathan Phillips 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hello All, I had some time while getting my tire repaired today to outline a project presentation of Inkscape. I'm supposed to give a little 10 minute thing at this place http://crca.ucsd.edu/ next wed. I figured that this type of outline and developing slides might be important for us all. And we can copy and paste for different types of presentations (technical, artistic, and then very specific). Here is the outline http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?InkscapePresentations Its the other one other than Teds. Could you all look over and rip into it and add/subtract anything. I know its not totally complete, but I wanted to basically develop an overview. I will make the SVG slides (and use Inkview) and post them to CVS after the outline of the presentation looks good.
