Likely, given that some people have no problem with RPMs (compiled elsewhere) but their own builds are broken. So whoever has or does not have this problem, please report your compiler version and, if non-standard, compilation flags. Mine is g++ (GCC) 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-3mdk) works ok. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the MSN Premium and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Can we remove acinclude.m4 ?
by Peter Moulder 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

inkscape seems to compile fine if I do rm -rf acinclude.m4 `cat .cvsignore` builddir ./autogen.sh && mkdir builddir && cd builddir && ../configure blah && make -sj4 A simplistic check suggests that none of the macros it defines are used by configure.in (with the arguable exception of AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, which is defined by /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 anyway). (This check ignores the possibility of configure.in invoking a macro in /usr/share/aclocal that invokes a macro whose definition is overridden by something in acinclude.m4, but in these cases it's questionable that we would want the acinclude.m4 version anyway if we never update acinclude.m4.) Our acinclude.m4 causes a number of warnings with automake-1.8. Has anyone any objection to removing acinclude.m4 from CVS ? pjrm.

sp_item_write_transform
by MenTaLguY 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

I've decided to go ahead and rewrite sp_item_write_transform() into a form that doesn't write to reprs -- leaving SPObjectClass::write soley responsible for repr writing. Since the existing write_transform code was only writing to attributes for their side-effects (updating other member variables -- better done directly), this shouldn't be too hard. I'm not going to commit anything obviously broken, but just a heads up to look out for transform breakage in case I miss something along the way. A side-effect of the change is going to be that sp_item_write_transform will need to be followed by an explicit call to sp_object_invoke_write(). sp_item_write_transform() will probably become sp_item_set_transform(), also. Part of the reason for doing this is that I plan to remove the requirement for explicit writes (during editing) altogether, in favor of a per-document "dirty list" that gets written out automatically before the transaction is finalized with sp_document_done(). We'll see how this goes... -mental

>Hey! It works!!! ;-) I copied this file into 0.38.1 tree and recompiled. It >works! I can now open the file open dialogue, switch to another desktop and >then back and the dialogue is there. OK, so this one is fixed. Good. Now we need to attack that "ugly buttons" problem. It's so weird I don't know where to start :) Please create a bug ticket with your screenshot attached and provide as much information and testing as you can. Everyone, please spend some time thinking about it, maybe you'll be stricken by an idea :) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

KDE 3.2.0, Mandrake 10.0 community. I just checked in a code fix. Please try the current CVS and see if it fixes the problem. Also try to vary the "Dialogs are hidden in the taskbar" and "Dialogs on top" options and report which work best for you. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

cosmetics

I removed the relief from the top panel buttons (looks much nicer IMHO). Also the "sticky zoom" button if finally gone, instead there's a global preference governing this. _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Deleting extensions
by Ted Gould 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

Hey, I've committed some code that increases the abilities of the checking involving scripts - and I left in some debugging output. The reason for this is so people will complain ;) You might get something like: Deleting Extension: Dia Input Typically this is caused by not being able to find the program in the path. If, you think that something shouldn't be deleted, and it is getting deleted, please tell me. I think that the path detection code should work on win32 also, but I don't have it to verify. If someone could verify that it would be cool too. Thanks for your time, we will now return you to your regularly scheduled program :) --Ted

Problem with the GTK file selector in KDE
by Arpad Biro 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

Hi, I noticed the following problem when using Inkscape in KDE: if you open a file selector dialog (Open, Save As, ...) and switch to another task without closing this dialog, then you will not be able to switch back to this Inkscape instance, so you will sooner or later need to kill it. The same happens if you move the file selector dialog to another virtual desktop: you will not see the dialog again, so you will not be able to close it. This does not happen in GNOME, nor does it happen with other Inkscape dialogs under KDE. Other GTK apps I tested (Gedit, Gnumeric, GnoZip) do not have this problem even under KDE. My versions are: GTK 2.2.4, Qt 3.2.3, GNOME 2.4, KDE 3.2 Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Clones tamed
by bulia byak 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

I just checked in a change to the clones code which allows you to select how a clone reacts when its original is moved. In the Inkscape Preferences dialog, Misc tab, you can choose between: - Moves in parallel: Clone is translated by the same vector as its original. - Stays unmoved: Clone preserves its position when its original is moved. - Moves according to transform: Clone moves according to the value of its transform= attribute. For example, a rotated clone will move in a different direction than its original. Until now, the last of the three options was the only possible one. Now the default is the "moves in parallel" option. This makes handling clones much more intuitive and convenient in design. _________________________________________________________________ Watch LIVE baseball games on your computer with MLB.TV, included with MSN Premium! http://join.msn.com/?page=features/mlb&pgmarket=en-us/go/onm00200439ave/dir…
