filter for inkscape and OpenDocument
by Jon Phillips
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.
Thanks,
Jon

Re: [Inkscape-user] autosave ?

We already have autosave-on-crash already, actually. 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.)

Freehand drawing tool
by Bryce Harrington
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
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
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.

Status needed for ReleaseNotes
by Bryce Harrington
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
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...
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
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
by Montgomery, Steven S
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...

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.
