>Nice, btw the gimp has a very nice stroke editor, perhaps you can just >copy it. I don't think we need anything elaborate, just a text field for editing the stroke-dasharray value. Combined with the preview, it will be suitable for most typical uses IMHO. >I used it very often and I don't think it was screen space waste because >there is nothing else important at that position in the window. Please describe your typical work scenario where you would euqally often use both modes and would need to switch them (I'm not arguing, just trying to understand). As for space, removing this frees some more space for the statusbar messages. Besides, that button was rather out of place in that location because the statusbar is supposed to be used for information and tips on the drawing, not for changing window beahvior. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

Incorrect link on Mailing Lists page
by Bob Jamison 23 May '04

23 May '04

I noticed this morning that the Mail Lists page: http://inkscape.org/mailing_lists.php has a minor typo. The link for 'inkscape-user' is given as: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=36227 ...which is the same as the Tracker list. It should be: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=37513 Just thought I would let someone know. Bob

>I can't find "." in the shortcut list, what is it supposed to do? This is alias for > (scale up), and "," is an alias for <.

It's not removed, it's now in global preferences (Ctrl+Shift+P, Windows tab). I don't think switching that often or on a per-window basis is so common as to justify the visual clutter and screen space waste in the main editing window. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

Marker

Hi, I worked a little bit with markers and now have two thing about the "Stroke style" Dialog. The first thing is, is it possible to define my own Pattern? And the second, the list of makers is quite long and I think that it will grow in the future. So, I think we need a new widget, something like the widget gimp uses for the fonts, for the markers. MfG Tobias P.S. Why have you removed the "Zoom when window is resized" button?

gnome-print libnrtype removal
by MenTaLguY 23 May '04

23 May '04

Just a quick note that I'm removing the gnome-print libnrtype backend (both it an xft now get their fonts from fontconfig, IIRC). Theoretically, this should not impact printing with gnome-print. This should make less work for Pangoization, as well as remove another sizable piece of conditionally-compiled code. -mental

RE: [Inkscape-devel] Big Files

>1) More import plugins. This is a function of the program's visibility and perceived usefulness in the community. Plugins are more often created by contributors than by core developers. Help spread the word. >2) A progressbar while opening files. Please submit an RFE on that. >3) Speed up the file loading. This will hopefully come as a side effect of cleaning up and rearchitecturing the codebase which will make possible optimizations more obvious. _________________________________________________________________ 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…
