>But isn't it on the otherhand inconsistent to have an attribute that >can't be set to "false"? And isn't it more like that sodipodi should >change that aswell? We're not planning to do any work on per-object sensitivity, just keep it as it is in Sodi. Instead when we will have layers we will be able to switch sensitivity and visibility per layer, which is much more convenient. When this is done, we'll likely remove the sensitive/insensitive per-object stuff from the UI. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

New Markers code
by Bryce Harrington 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

I've just committed the patch from John and Carl for improving the markers support. There were a few build issues, but with some kludging the code compiles. It's buggy on my box, though, so is going to need more attention; I figure since there's 4 of us working on it, it'll be easier having the code in CVS than passing around patches. Meanwhile beware that playing with the marker widgets on the stroke style dialog may lead to a crash. But at least this moves us a good step closer to having markers available. Bryce

Translation comments
by Arpad Biro 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

Hi, A note to translators: the following string #: src/dialogs/object-attributes.cpp:61 msgid "T0:" is not "to", but "t-zero" (see Spiral Properties). I just recently noticed this, and I personally had to correct my translation. Taking a look at other translations, I suspect at least 4-5 other people made the same mistake - I'm almost sure about the German and French translations being incorrect. Maybe we could also add a comment into the code for translators? If this is possible, then I also have other candidates for adding comments to: "Could not create sodipodi-svg-doc factory" "Role:" "Arcrole:" "Title:" "Em square" "Base radius to tip radius ratio" "gradientUnits" "gradientSpread" (For my personal comments on the above strings, see "po/hu.po".)

ps-export
by David Christian Berg 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

Where is the fun about ps-export when neither gradients nor imported pngs nor transparency attributes are being exported? Alright, it just that this would be handy for me right now. And speaking of it, ps2pdf always creates A4 documents, as ist seems. Does anybody know how to have it export A3 or any customized format? Or does anybody know another app for it? David

Hi, > Was there some bad documentation or missing directions that we should > update so others can avoid this problem in the future? Actually I have not read any Inkscape-related documentation on this; just automatically used the "pserver" method, since that was what I got accustomed to earlier. Taking a look at the Wiki, I realize you have a very good documentation on using CVS. Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi, Commit finally works. Thank you guys for the help. > When using pserver, are you logging in? :ext: doesn't require you to > log onto the CVS repository, but :pserver: does. I did, but it still did not work. > Hmm! AFAIK, SourceForge uses 'ext' not 'pserver'. Try checking > it out like this: > > cvs -d :ext:a_b@...318...:/cvsroot/inkscape co inkscape Yes, it works with ext. I finally committed that translation.

When it's checked out with my ID, it gives the same message. The Root is: ":pserver:a_b@...54...:/cvsroot/inkscape". Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

verbs and "help" menu
by Kees Cook 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

I was toying around with making some icons for the "help" menu, only to discover that hooking it up would prove difficult. Should the help menu setup ("sp_ui_help_menu") be converted to the verb-style of menus so we can more easily attach icons? Or is there a reason this menu wasn't converted? -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

clipart at freedesktop.org
by Jonathan Phillips 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

Hello all, Well, the wiki for the new open clipart project has been activated. Please spend some time looking over the content, and adding your own. Instructions for getting account access for the wiki are at the URL below. Anyone interested in the project should head on over to the site and get added to the mailing list. http://freedesktop.org/Software/clipart or http://clipart.freedesktop.org/ This project is at an early stage, but the Open Office.org (OO.o) development community and various SVG editor camps are merging together (basically) to create this project. OO.o has 20-30 million users! If you are into this type of project and/or want to get in on the ground floor and help shape the future, then you should jump in now... Thanks, Jon -- Jon Phillips Graduate Researcher Visual Arts Department PO BOX 948667 LA JOLLA, CA USA cell.858.361.2811 jon@...235... http://www.rejon.org
