the new Find dialog
by bulia byak 18 May '04

18 May '04

The new Find dialog (Ctrl+F) selects objects by their text content, ID, style, attribute name, or object type (shapes, texts, groups, etc.). The search terms can be combined. An exact match is attempted first; if it fails, partial matches are selected if found (e.g. searching for "ff0000" in Style will select all objects that have this color anywhere in their style attribute). _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

>Win32 autobuild 040515 is putting up a warning message on startup saying it >cannot find Hegel-Black font family. Not surprising as it is not in the >font >list. :-). Can someone put it in or tell us poor win users where it can be >found. A quick google did not turn it up. Sorry, I just forgot to convert-to-shapes a text in icons.svg.

selector top panel
by bulia byak 17 May '04

17 May '04

* In the selector top panel, the W and H fields can now be locked so that the selection preserves its height/width ratio when resized. Also, percent (%) is added to the panel's unit menu, so you can easily resize or move your selection by a relative value. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.

more inkscape examples

Hello Inkscapers! Once again I'd like to tell you that Inkscape is an amazing tool - and not only because it's so full-featured and convenient-to-use, but because it INSPIRES. I mean it - in my entire life, I have never used a graphic tool that was as fun to use as Inkscape is. I love it! I'd like to tell you about what use of Inkscape I have made recently (you may already know about some of them). 1. My www.fantomized.info musicians' community released a compilation CD. A booklet for this CD has been created with Inkscape. 2. I am writing a book on sound design. It currently includes over 25 drawings by Inkscape. 3. I created a cool drawing for a new little site of mine: http://artemio.net/projects/fantom-s 4. Three of my project sites got new beautiful logos: http://artemio.net/projects/linuxdoc (this one is simply beatiful) http://artemio.net/projects/kdevibes http://artemio.net/projects/beatskitchen Should I send you all or some of the screenshots? :-) Artemio. -- ArtemioLabs :.: innovative audio laboratories :.: http://artemiolabs.com [local time 17:49:40 (GMT +3) 17 May 2004] [system uptime 4 hr 35 min]

about current snapshot
by Artemio 17 May '04

17 May '04

Hello everybody! There are two things I'd like to ask about the current shapshot: 1. I try to print as postscript and pipe though kprinter, but always get a blank page. I launch Inkscape, draw a circle, print and get a blank page. 2. Are there any plans on implementing storing the printer command? 3. Mini-sized dropdown lists still look weird because the font size is large, like in usual-sized dropdown lists (see the shot).

Inkscape Status May 15, 2004
by Bryce Harrington 17 May '04

17 May '04

Project Status Saturday, May 15, 2004< Much development has been under way over the past month. Markers have been fully implemented and can be applied to start, end, and mid nodes of lines; there's still a bit of work left to iron out little gliches, but the feature is fully usable at this point. A number of bugs related to localization, file saving/loading, markers, and more have been fixed; 21 bugs have been closed in the past 2 weeks. A number of new preferences have been added, including a wide range of paper sizes. It'll be great to get all these new capabilities out to users but the focus we determined for this next release is switching of the underlying font renderer from libnrtype to Pango. Mental has recently initiated work on this with the conversion of libnrtype to a C++ style of interface. Hopefully enough of us can contribute spare cycles into this effort that it can be completed quickly. Once that architectural conversion is complete we can turn attention to finalizing the 0.39 release. Aside from code development, work is being done to assist in promotion of the tool. Artemio has contributed screenshots of a couple of his websites to provide an <a href="/screenshots/examples/">example</a> of how Inkscape is being used for real work. We need additional examples of other types of usage, such as making icons, logos, posters, vectoralization of raster images, and etc. LWN has recently published a review of various Open Source diagramming tools, including a brief mention of Inkscape. Bryce is working to get an article about Inkscape published. Inkscape is being presented at events such as the "FLOSS In Design" seminar in Rotterdam.

I've been poking at the Win32 bits of libnrtype today; hopefully the build is no longer broken, but could someone on Win32 please verify? -mental

Just a quick note that I've started further C++ifying libnrtype; it's about time we got this pango ball rolling. -mental
