default shape prefs?
by Kees Cook 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Can we make the default shape prefs as colorful as they used to be? Right now if I start up inkscape without prefs, they're just black shapes. I liked the partially see-through yellow, blue, red, etc. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

thanks!

Hi guys, before I get to provide some hopefully useful feedback to you guys, I just wanted to say thank you guys for the work you've done on Inkscape. I can see you're steering the ship towards the right direction - making a nice tool for an _artist_ to draw vector illustrations. I'm aboard! ;) -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac@...659...>

Fedora core 2 RPMs for inkscape dependencies
by Ashwin Bharambe 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hi all, I made FC2 RPMs for all the inkscape dependencies -- the reason is that I personally was quite annoyed when I first started toying around inkscape code because I needed to compile all these dependencies... these _should_ work on FC3 as well... URL: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ashu/rpms/ Anyway, I hope these might be useful for _somebody_ , at least... -Ashwin PS: If they could be hosted on inkscape.org somewhere, that would be great (since i am perennially short of disk space on the webserver)

String 'sanitizer' routine
by Jon A. Cruz 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

I just dumped a simple routine into io/sys.h to return a 'safe' version of any given string. Inkscape::IO::sanitizeString The most immediate need is for those places where we might be displaying an error for a potentially bad path (such as when we're unable to create a file or directory). It will return a copy of the string as-is if it's valid UTF-8, otherwise it will walk through and escape all non-ASCII bytes. That should at least stop Pango crashes from hiding true problems or from turning warnings into crashes, like bug 1107305. Soo...... I'm hitting bed now, but anyone can feel free to try it out in a few critical places.

Beatwave Mobile Designer + Profiles
by Jon Phillips 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

I found this app today while researching new places to send PR for releases. It implements profiles for different versions of SVG and is up to spec on animation, effects, object library, palettes, etc. I took screenshots of the app so that we can learn from their implementation. While I think that Inkscape is a great drawing tool, this one has SVG Basic, Tiny, and other version of SVG as profiles that are reconfigurable. You can even make your own. Also, the animation tools are very far out and usable. Sorry to drop this right while we are gearing up for release, but I think it is useful to look at to be inspired on other tasks we have to accomplish in the future. * http://rejon.org/projects/inkscape/reference/beatwave/ * http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Beatware_Mobile_Designer What I really would like to figure out is how to implement profile support, which is support for the switch statement in SVG and then try to go for the lowest hanging fruit of SVG, SVG Tiny compliance...especially since most all of modern phones now have SVG Tiny on them! * http://svg.org/special/svg_phones Jon -- Jon Phillips USA PH 510.499.0894 jon@...235... http://www.rejon.org Inkscape (http://inkscape.org) Open Clip Art Library (www.openclipart.org) CVS Book (http://cvsbook.ucsd.edu) Scale Journal (http://scale.ucsd.edu)

Re: [Inkscape-user] Gradient Editor design and Macromedia Freehand

I've gathered together everyone's comments, screenshots, and so forth onto this wiki page: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ObjectManager The next step is for someone(s) to do some creative thinking, taking all these ideas and suggestions, and generate a concept for what the *best* *possible* gradient editing system would be. Use the screenshots as inspiration, but don't feel compelled to just recreate them. I sense that for Inkscape, the gradient editing is going to be one of the most fundamental and critically important pieces of functionality, and it will be well worth investing a lot of time in it. I would love to see the gradient editor become Inkscape's "Crown Jewel". :-) Bryce

where to submit screenshot
by Aaron Spike 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

I was playing with the multiscan tracing and last night's batch of photos. The results is more demonstrative than artistic. Where should I send a screenshot to be considered for the website? Aaron Spike

Open SVG 2005 papers due MARCH 1
by Jon Phillips 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

If anyone is interested in participating in OpenSVG 2005, papers are due MARCH 1. I had a paper accepted to the conference and cancelled once I found out that I would have to PAY for my own entrance into the conference. Only invited speakers are allowed in for free. That is unheard of for a conference. Anyhow, if anyone lives in the Netherlands, where the conf. is hosted this year, maybe you would be into it. http://www.svgopen.org/2005/registration.html Jon -- Jon Phillips USA PH 510.499.0894 jon@...235... http://www.rejon.org Inkscape (http://inkscape.org) Open Clip Art Library (www.openclipart.org) CVS Book (http://cvsbook.ucsd.edu) Scale Journal (http://scale.ucsd.edu)

Hi, In the About Inkscape 0.41 drawing, there's a text layout problem with contributors' names: Christian Schaller's name is indented by a space, while other names (at beginnings of lines) are not.
