>I have some problems with the current CVS version. >When I open icons.svg in an old version of inkscape then inkscape will >crash. What about latest CVS? How "old" is the version that carshes, and how old is the file? Which platform? In any case, this is worth a bug report, because we don't want old versions of Inkscape crash on newer files. However I cannot reproduce this, my 0.37 loads latest icons.svg without a problem. So please give more information. Ideally please produce a backtrace of the crash - you can get Windows binary of GDB at http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml. Try to find a minimum file that crashes, by deleting parts of the file. >When I open icons.svg in Adobe I get "bad (singular) matrix()". Batik loads this file without a hitch. So this may be an Adobe problem. Anyway, please try to similarly find a minimum file that gives this error. P.S. Are you working on the remaining << patches? Will they be ready before the release? _________________________________________________________________ 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…

save bug again
by bulia byak 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Ted, I had to restore the code you deleted in file.cpp: const gchar *ext = sp_repr_attr(repr, "inkscape:output_extension"); if (ext == NULL) { // plain svg files do not know no inkscape:output_extensions; // old Inkscape or Sodipodi documents also don't have it // Save as Inkscape SVG in that case ext = SP_MODULE_KEY_OUTPUT_SVG_INKSCAPE; } success = file_save (doc, fn, Inkscape::Extension::db.get(ext)); because without it, it saved old inkscape documents (without inkscape:output_extension) as plain svg, thus effectively breaking them. If you want to do this differently, you can, but please test thoroughly, and maybe it's best not to change this any more until the release. The current CVS is tested and works, let's not break it again :) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Is current icons.svg corrupt?
by Adib Taraben 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Hello, I am a little bit nervous. I have some problems with the current CVS version. When I open icons.svg in an old version of inkscape then inkscape will crash. When I open icons.svg in Adobe I get "bad (singular) matrix()". Does someone has the same "effect"? Adib.

inkjar default?
by Kees Cook 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Is there a reason why "inkjar" is not built by default? I looked through the archives, and it wasn't mentioned. Also, there do not appear to be any excessive dependencies for compiling it (zlib isn't a "strange" dependency, IMHO). Just curious! -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

unified XML and layers dialog?
by MenTaLguY 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Once we've got this bug-fixing release out the door, I'm planning on putting more work into user-visible changes again. One of the ones that we've been slated for since the fork was a layers dialog. I've been thinking -- would it make sense to combine the layers and XML dialogs (maybe have them be on different tabs)? It seems to me that there's not much need to have them both displayed at once, so it might make sense to reduce the amount of screen real estate required by combining them. Obviously this would require that the XML dialog could be made smaller, though -- perhaps make the right hand side collapsable? What are your thoughts? -mental

Locale question, was: Re: Spanish translation
by Lucas Vieites 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Hi, Daniel Díaz and I (Lucas Vieites) are discussing the spanish translation and we are thinking about having separate translations for "Spain spanish" (es_ES) and "mexican spanish" (es_MX). Is this a mayor issue, or just uploading two files: "es_ES.po" and "es_MX.po" would solve it? NOTE: this is also an invitation for other translators to have their own country-specific translations (es_AR, es_VE, etc). And now for something completely different...

Naming gradients
by Arpad Biro 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Hi, Not a big deal, but all gradients, including radial ones, are named "linearGradient" when they are created. Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway http://promotions.yahoo.com/design_giveaway/

Calligraphy Pen
by Jason Dusek 03 Apr '04

03 Apr '04

Hi Everyone, I'm interested in adding another calligraphy tool. I'm a calligrapher by way of a hobby, and I think it'd be fun to make a tool that behaved more like a broad-edged pen. What parts of the code do I need to copy and edit so as to make my new pen? And what parts of the code control how I will interface with my new pen tool? (i.e. how do I give it an icon and a button?) -- --~:~\\ Jason Dusek \\~:~://|||//|||| ---~:~\\ The Hydra Project \\~:~://|||//||| ----~:~\\ The University of Iowa \\~:~://|||//|| ----

RE: [Inkscape-devel] Re: Release - Need translations
by bulia byak 03 Apr '04

Thanks! I edited it a bit, see attached. In general, please try to be less formal when translating, express the thought freely, just as you would when talking to a friend. And don't use "Vy" with a capital :) >Updated translation of ru.po will be soon. OK, I'll commit the tutorial and the new translation together. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.
