This is done for as long as 2 days today :) Update your CVS :) (See Transforms tab in the Prefs dialog) _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Hi, It seems the locale issues Bulia and pjrm were working on last are sorted. Testing current CVS with fr_FR works as expected. Cheers, Peter

Grid-related patches committed for comments
by Carl Hetherington 12 May '04

12 May '04

Hi, I've committed a couple of patches to the grid behaviour, after discussion with Buila on jabber. If anyone has problems, please say so and I'll fix or back out the patch. 1. Removed feature where alt-drag provides a "slow drag" when moving objects. 2. When moving objects, alt-drag now moves them without snapping, even if the grid is enabled. 3. When moving objects with the grid enabled, the current behaviour is to snap the objects "snap points" to the grid. This patch adds an alternative behaviour on Shift-drag: moved objects are snapped such that they keep the offset from the grid that they had before the move. 4. When you paste an object it is pasted at the same offset from the grid as the original. 5. An option in Inkscape preferences to make (3) the default and the current behaviour happen on Shift-drag. My rationale for (3), in case anyone's interested: It's basically for doing simple line drawings. Draw a simple shape made out of straight lines, some of whose points are snapped to the grid. Now if you move this object around, the bounding box of this object will be snapped, rather than the points themselves. This means that the line position plus its width will be snapped. If you then try to draw another line which joins to the object you've just moved, the new line's points will be snapped. Hence the old object and new line will not meet up, being offset by half the line width. It's possible that this would be better implemented by improving Inkscape's ideas of what "snap points" are, but the end result would be similar. Thanks Carl

current snapshot is amazing!!! but here are some issues...
by Artemio 12 May '04

Hello there! I just installed the 20040510 snapshot - the things you guys have done with "clone", "inkscape preferences" and stroke style are very cool and useful. Thanks! There are several things I'd like to note though. 1. Look at the snapshot (attached). Some drop-down lists are smaller-sized but the font is still sized as in bigger widgets, and on muy system I can't see the current selected option. 2. Printer command is not yet stored :-( 3. It is the most minor issue, but it looks like Inkscape now closes and opens it's window on startup and on opening new files. It is fairly okay, but this makes a sort of blinking so maybe there's a better way to make this "virgin" tag work instead of killing the previous instance. Or maybe I just don't understand something ;-) Good luck and thanks for your great work!

AW: [Inkscape-devel] download page and win32
by Taraben, Adib 12 May '04

Yes I can confirm this behaviour. Look at .inkscape\\makefile.mingw It is copied to config.h in the make-proccess. HTH, Adib. ----------------------------------- > > Can someone verify that the windows build is correctly updating > "config.h": the g_ascii_strtod macro isn't being defined in the > autobuilds, it looks like. AFAIK the windows build uses inkscape/config.h.mingw as its config.h. Anything that needs to be in config.h must be added here, I think. Carl

The icons are located in the icons.svg file. Each single icon is in his own group. This is the original source of the separate icon files.

I do not see any attachments in your mail. Please submit a bug report with your samples. I just tried exporting gradients with transparency and don't see any problems. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.
