Re: slovenian files for inkscape

Hi, > it's slovenian translations of all 4 tuturials, the keys&mouse sheet > and the latest sl.po file... I committed: sl.po elementsofdesign.sl.svg tipsandtricks.sl.svg tutorial-advanced.sl.svg tutorial-basic.sl.svg after trivial corrections. Please check the new files: http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/share/tutorials/ As to the following files, I have a few questions: default-slide.sl.svg intro.sl.svg keys.sl.xml Do we support localizing the example files (default-slide.svg and intro.svg)? How can keys.svg be generated from keys.xml? Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other providers! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

30 Jun '04

Hi, I've added today to the CVS a first part for the Inkscape Manual. To files : one for french : inkscapeUTFfr.xml one in poor english : inkscapeUTFen.xml These are first tests. We should take some time on this to improve our method. at least : English should be improved. If informations have to be changed, or if there are errors, please keep me informed to update the versions (may be should add a 'wish/error' list to the wiki). Give your mind. Cedric

Alan, > I dont have a Passport account that Microsoft seems to require. Getting one is straightforward. The site form is not well written though and reads as if you need a previous copy of Creature House. Actually all you need to give is your email addy. Takes about three minutes. > Is there anychance you could put a copy up somewhere temporarily? No, sorry. The download is 57.5MB and took me four hours on dial-up. :-) vellum

Metadata dialog localization
by Arpad Biro 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Hi, In the metadata dialog, the captions from "Title" to "License" (9 strings) always appear in English, even if they are translated in the PO file. "License:" and "Proprietary" appear localized.

Toolbar issues
by Arpad Biro 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Hi, Inkscape 0.39cvs (Jun 29 2004) KDE 3.2 GTK 2.2.4 After detaching (making it floating) a toolbar, it does not stay on top - it disappears on the next mouse click and can only be re-enabled with View->Show/Hide. In the case of the Tool Controls toolbar, there's another thing: after hiding and then re-enabling it (both with View->Show/Hide), it loses its functionality: some of the tools will not have their controls displayed.

commands bar
by bulia byak 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

OK, so the Commands Bar is in. The icons look really ugly and inconsistent when lined up in a toolbar, but that's the way they are. I wanted to add a few more commands but they don't have any icons at all now. Still I think some may find this new toolbar convenient; those who hate it, just hide it via the View menu and forget. P.S. As for terminology, all variants except "commands bar" seemed to be too vague or confusing for the new toolbar. And for the former top panel, "Tool options bar/panel" might be OK but is confusing because we have tool preferences tabs in the Preferences dialog, so I'm sticking with "Tool controls [panel]". Feel free to disagree. P.P.S. In reponse to loud complaints from the public, the nasty "Hide Menu" command is hunted down and killed mercilessly. Enjoy its absence :)

Perhaphs it can be interesting for those who are working on the characters enconding translation (the details are on Christopher's blog). -- Buongiorno. Complimenti per l'ottima scelta.

> dont destroy the hide menu button. just add a shortcut key combo to > show/hide it ;-) Well, those who know what they're doing can still hide it by editing preferences.xml. I'm still undecided though. Maybe enabling F10 to show and activate menu, plus a warning on hiding it, will be enough protection? What do you think?
