win32 build working again
by Bob Jamison 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

filter for inkscape and OpenDocument
by Jon Phillips 28 May '05

28 May '05

Heya, I just read your nice interview at groklaw (http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20050130002908154). First of all, this is really exciting, but I wonder if you could write up more about what is needed of Inkscape for this new format. I see in your interview you note that there is a needed filter for Inkscape, but it is not clarified what this means. I'm cc'ing the Inkscape development list about this. I just wonder how this OpenDocument format (the newly standardized open office xml format) relates to Inkscape and what you are asking to be done. Or do you want a filter that say one has an SVG file, then one can convert that to an OpenDocument file. I don't think that would be difficult. But, what about OpenOffice support for the SVG file format? Please copy me and/or the Inkscape-devel list and I will make sure they get the response. Or, please reply to me and the list if you are on Inkscape's list.

Re: [Inkscape-user] autosave ?

The one catch is that for crashes due to failed assertions (like this one), it isn't triggered yet. (I'm CCing the development mailing list, if anyone's interested in attacking this right now: At least on Unix, this is relatively easy to fix -- just set up a SIGABRT handler similar to the SIGSEGV handler we have now. The one catch is that the handler will need to disable itself as soon as it is triggered, because the autosave code raises SIGABRT when it is done. Also we should make sure we've got SIGBUS covered if we don't already.) -mental

Freehand drawing tool
by Bryce Harrington 14 Mar '05

14 Mar '05

There'd been some comments about the quality of the Inkscape drawing tool compared with Sodipodi. I experimented around a bit with both. I see what they mean, but it's difficult to quantify the issue. Inkscape's drawing tool "feels" snappier, it doesn't lag like Sodipodi, and it produces lines smoothly, but it just doesn't "feel" right. I can't draw worth beansy, but I could see the difference when I tried writing my name: http://bryceharrington.com/freehand_drawing.png Try signing your name with the two apps and see if you notice a difference.

layer commands we need
by bulia byak 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Here's a list of layer commands that we need to implement, comments and additions welcome: Layers... // opens the Layers dialog ------------------- Move to Layer Above Shift+PgUp // move selection to the top of sibling layer above, or to the top of parent layer (but not root) if no siblings Move to Layer Below Shift+PgDn // move selection to the top of sibling layer below, or to the bottom of parent layer (but not root) if no siblings Move to Layer... // let me choose the layer name to move selection to ------------------- Unlock All Layers // unlock all layers in the document (or all siblings of the current layer?) Unhide All Layers ------------------- Unlock All in Layer // unlock all children of the current layer Unhide All in Layer ------------------- Group to Layer // convert group to layer Layer to Group

g_file_test
by Kees Cook 06 Feb '05

06 Feb '05

I've been playing with Jon Cruz's updates to the profile_path and mkdir stuff. Short story: it works. Long story: g_file_test isn't utf sane. *bang head* So, the test for the directory fails, but making it works just fine. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

Status needed for ReleaseNotes
by Bryce Harrington 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

One other task needed before we get too much further is to update the Roadmap. Mental, Ted, Ishmal, and others, can you give us some quick status on the following items? [Perl, Python scripting; XSLT] [embed/outbed, gamma scripts] [Effects menu] [extensions warning and logging] [Namespace changes] [Making reprs private] Also, Arpad, can you give us a list of the translations that were updated from 0.40 to 0.41? Thanks, Bryce

new bugs
by bulia byak 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

I consider these two bugs to be MUSTFIX as well: - the one found by Kees (without pref file, objects are drawn black), see my post with more details on why this happens - the new crash on load: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1113187&group_id=9… The first of these bugs appears mild, but they both are in the new repr code by Mental and therefore may be signs of something more sinister which we haven't found yet. And both are regressions compared to 0.40. Mental, will you please look into them? If you need my help I'll do what I can, though currently I'm swamped by work.

typos and a translation question
by Arpad Biro 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Hi, A typo in src/extension/extension.cpp: beacuse Double colon in src/extension/dependency.cpp: out_file << _("Dependency::") << std::endl; Also a question: in this piece of code from src/extension/dependency.cpp: gchar const * Dependency::_location_str[] = { N_("path"), N_("extensions"), N_("absolute") does "path" mean "filesystem path" (as opposed to "vector path")?

RE: [Inkscape-devel] Inkboard linking/dependencies

Yah, we had done that for the files in src and in dialogs. I don't think it was even attempting to build them before we edited the Makefile_insert files...

Thanks, > Steven Hi Steven, Whenever you add a new file to the codebase, you need to add that file to the makefile as well. Look in src/Makefile_insert, and try adding a line to the libinkpre_a_SOURCES = .... section like this: inkboard.cpp inkboard.h \ You may also need to add inkboard-connect.cpp to the Makefile_insert in the src/dialogs directory as well.
