annoying usability with selection
by Jonathan Phillips 30 Mar '04

30 Mar '04

Does anyone else find it annoying that when using another tool, you can't select all with ctrl-a, and shift into selection mode? Also, I wonder if there could be shortcut keys associated with rotate 90 deg CW and 90 deg CCW.

I will forward up stream to whomever creates the Industrial Theme. Arg. I really do not believe this is our bug, as we are using standard GTK widgets for the rulers, right?

Same problem as sharpness. A star with skewed rays is less compact even if the radii are the same length. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Open/Save dialogs
by Ted Gould 30 Mar '04

30 Mar '04

Hey, I changed the open and save dialogs so that they have listings of all the extensions that are available to be saved with. Unfortunately, I don't have a win32 system to put the changes over there. I think that I have ported over the API changes (so it should build) - but not the code. Can someone port the changed code? I guess someone should also make sure that I didn't screw up the build too :) --Ted

InkScape Icons (fwd)
by Bryce Harrington 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 23:19:27 +1000 From: Gerwood <gerwood@...289...> To: bryce@...58... Subject: InkScape Icons Bryce A quick explanation. I found out about inkscape less than a week ago and so far have found it a brilliant program to use. I am sending to you an icon I have created for it (for use in gnome). I figured you might like to start a collection or similar. Thank you for this program. Incidently I did also try sodipodi and I realise that they are from the same source originally. I chose inkscape though because I preferred the interface. I thought you would also like to know that I found inkscape to be very, very easy to use. I have already started on my own icon set as a result. Again thank you and the rest of those who are working on this program. Gerwood Stewart (p.s. do what you will with the icon).

Base radius is the same for closest handle. Can you suggest better terms? >Does "point" mean "corner" here?

This is for the future. We will (hopefully) soon have layers support. In SVG, layers will be represented by <g> as are groups, hence the messages. >Taking a look at the sources it seems that what we really mean by >these 3 strings is something like "objects with different parents". >Probably these strings could be worded a bit better. Yes, but "parents" are confusing for a user. It's developer terminology. >You can't raise a grouped item (without raising the rest of the group), >but you can raise the whole group, right? No. You can raise/lower a grouped object (or an object in a layer) within it's group/layer, not within document root (try it). >The "raise" string talks >about >"different groups", which does not apply to this case. I think it's correct. When you select objects with different parents, it's ambiguous where to raise/lower it, hence the message. >If you select a grouped item with Ctrl, you can't group it together >with an ungrouped item, but you can group the group itself with that >ungrouped item (right?). No. You cannot even select a group and an item within that group at the same time, there's a check for that. When you have a group selected and try to select an item within it, te group is deselected, and vice versa (try it). _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium includes powerful parental controls and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Inkscape strings
by Arpad Biro 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hi, I have a few questions about some of the translatable strings in the Inkscape sources: "Ratio of tip and base radii of points" (src/toolbox.cpp) What's "base radius" and "tip radius"? Does "point" mean "corner" here? ---------------------------------------------------- "You cannot group objects from different groups or layers." (src/selection-chemistry.cpp) "You cannot raise/lower objects from different groups or layers." (src/selection-chemistry.cpp) "You cannot combine objects from different groups or layers." (src/path-chemistry.cpp) First of all, what do you mean by "layer"? Taking a look at the sources it seems that what we really mean by these 3 strings is something like "objects with different parents". Probably these strings could be worded a bit better. You can't raise a grouped item (without raising the rest of the group), but you can raise the whole group, right? The "raise" string talks about "different groups", which does not apply to this case. This string needs rewording the most (of the 3 above). If you select a grouped item with Ctrl, you can't group it together with an ungrouped item, but you can group the group itself with that ungrouped item (right?). IMHO this shows that the other 2 strings could also be worded better. Of course this depends on what you call a "layer". Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Arg...I tested the newest Industrial theme which was giving us this problem and it seemed fixed. I do believe this is a problem with some themes, as others work. Could you tell me what theme you are using, your system, etc, so that I can look into this further.

>>Each time I try I get a small empty rectangle instead of the character. I tested available builds back to the end of December, they're all broken. So probably this was never fixed except on linux. I don't know if it's worth trying to fix this particular bug, or perhaps we should work towards Pangofication instead, which will likely fix this and other font problems on windows. >>I am also getting the error message shown in the attached file.

crash in IntLigne::Copy on windows
by bulia byak 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Fred, SF tracker is down so I'm writing you directly with another bug :) Since after 23rd, Inkscape on Windows started to crash when doing node editing or freehand drawing. The crash is not instantaneous, but it 100% happens after a few motions. Freehand crashes while you're still drawing a line which is not yet finalized, so this crash has to do with ctrlline rendering and not the regular renderer. Here's the backtrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0059ea5d in IntLigne::Copy(int, BitLigne**) () (gdb) bt #0 0x0059ea5d in IntLigne::Copy(int, BitLigne**) () #1 0x00590b08 in nr_pixblock_render_bpath_rgba(Shape*, unsigned, NRRectL&, char *, int) () #2 0x0058fe7b in sp_canvas_bpath_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #3 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #4 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #5 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #6 0x004692e0 in sp_canvas_paint_rect(_SPCanvas*, int, int, int, int) () #7 0x004694ab in paint(_SPCanvas*) () #8 0x004676a7 in idle_handler(void*) () #9 0x00c5c865 in ??

() #14 0x00401b36 in sp_main_gui(int, char const**) () #15 0x00401902 in main () If you can't reproduce this and need more info, let me know, I can look up anything in gdb for you. Also there's another (less critical) bug on the visibility of handle lines in node edit, please see in the tracker. Simarilius: You can find a Windows binary of gdb at http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml, highly recommended. _________________________________________________________________ Find a broadband plan that fits.
