gradients and stroke
by David Christian Berg 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

i just installed todays cvs, so basically 0.38. good job! I'd have been testing it before the release, if I'd had the time to do so. Anyway, there's a few minor things I noticed. The stroke is not always properly displayed. When being dotted, you sometimes get dashes on one side of a rectangular. Moving or zooming helps to draw it correctly, though moving back or going back to the previous zoom-level changes it back to the wrong display. Thank you for adding multicolor gradients! But please consider redoing the way you chose the colors... add a few arrows to the gradient display at the top that can be selected and moved around. When selected one can chose the color for that stop. a new stop is created by double clicking a stop is removed by dragging it out toward the bottom of the gradient display. Basically what it's look like is like the value selectors. I think what I discribed is how gradient in corel work, but I'm not sure about it. Anyway, I was also wondering how an excentric gradient as the one on the screenshot on inkscape.org is created, couldn't yet figure that out. I'll keep on testing and complaining ;) But I can see inkscape leaving corel draw behind within 2004. Take care David

Hi, > What's the best way to send updated PO files? Patch tracker? Yes, IMHO the tracker would be the best for this purpose. (If PO files are sent to the mailing list, then I guess everyone on the list will receive them, which is not needed.) Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Release 0.38
by Bryce Harrington 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Tonight the 0.38 release was made and CVS tagged. Congratulations everyone, this release embodies a great wealth of contributions from an impressive number of people, providing users with a significant advance over the previous release. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes038 The 0.38 tarball is available on the SourceForge download page. Packagers may now use this to generate packages. Either post the files on SourceForge, or simply announce them here and ask an admin to post them. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 As before, we are allocating a few days for packaging before we make the official announcements, so that when the announce goes out, we have sufficient breadth of packages for interested users. With tonight's release, the feature freeze is finished, and so developers are encouraged to merge branches, apply patches, and set forth on new development as desired. Enjoy! Bryce

Hi, > I've also added you to the bug and patch tracker, > so you will have access to update tickets for > submitted translations. OK, I will test with my next translation. It seems I will also have to subscribe to the list (as opposed to reading it from the archives) so that I also have access to mail attachments. > Could you take a look at some of the other > translations and see what proportion we have > that are up to date vs. ones that are out of > date? I made a small script for this purpose; sending it attached. The full output for the current PO files is also attached; the most important part follows: Total number of localizable strings: 705 ./am.po translated: 131 ( 18 %) ./az.po translated: 84 ( 11 %) ./be.po translated: 309 ( 43 %) ./ca.po translated: 227 ( 32 %) ./cs.po translated: 322 ( 45 %) ./da.po translated: 156 ( 22 %) ./de.po translated: 321 ( 45 %) ./el.po translated: 61 ( 8 %) ./es_MX.po translated: 704 ( 99 %) ./es.po translated: 569 ( 80 %) ./et.po translated: 11 ( 1 %) ./fr.po translated: 614 ( 87 %) ./ga.po translated: 13 ( 1 %) ./gl.po translated: 113 ( 16 %) ./hu.po translated: 705 (100 %) ./it.po translated: 135 ( 19 %) ./ja.po translated: 529 ( 75 %) ./mk.po translated: 0 ( 0 %) ./nl.po translated: 307 ( 43 %) ./no.po translated: 288 ( 40 %) ./pl.po translated: 271 ( 38 %) ./pt_BR.po translated: 11 ( 1 %) ./pt.po translated: 336 ( 47 %) ./ru.po translated: 534 ( 75 %) ./sk.po translated: 336 ( 47 %) ./sl.po translated: 174 ( 24 %) ./sr@...311... translated: 335 ( 47 %) ./sr.po translated: 335 ( 47 %) ./sv.po translated: 338 ( 47 %) ./tr.po translated: 303 ( 42 %) ./uk.po translated: 194 ( 27 %) ./zh_CN.po translated: 173 ( 24 %) Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: stroke width and test, test, test.

>A Comment on Stroke Width. >When you draw a solid line and then change stroke width it looks like a a >simple width change is occurring. >However, when you choose a different stroke style You mean pattern? and then change stroke >width then it is clear that the line is actually scaled rather than simply >having its width changed. You mean, the length of the dashes is also changed? This is obviously as designed - the dashes are defined in the units of stroke width. I find this quite convenient, although now that I look it up in the SVG spec, this does not seem to be conformant behavior: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#StrokeProperties _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

image URL not updating
by Artemio 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Hello there! I'm using the 4/04/2004 snapshot. For example, I have an image in the document. When I edit the image URL (say I set pic6.png instead of pic5.png), and then hit this "apply arrow" button, the image is not reloaded. Inkscape 0.37, it would reloan and how the updated image in this case. Now, I had to reload the whole SVG again and only then the image changed. Good luck!
