NEW: Ensure selected objects don't overlap each other
by Peter Moulder
Tim Dwyer from the office next to mine has been working on code to move
rectangles by the minimal amount enough that they no longer overlap.
Now he's spent a few days adding this to Inkscape (with a little help
from me, njh & possibly Brisgeek): in the Align & Distribute dialog box
near the existing Clump/Unclump buttons. (Unclump merely reduces
overlap, whereas Remove Overlaps completely removes overlap.)
You can also think of it like the Distribute edge-to-edge buttons,
except that it moves things only enough to ensure that they don't
overlap; e.g. if applied to a set of objects that are roughly in a grid
arrangement, then the new code probably does what the user wants
(preserve the grid nature), whereas existing Distribute edge-to-edge
would put the objects in a long diagonal line (unless the user does
extra work, acting in small groups at a time).
This should be a significant addition to Inkscape's usability for
diagramming.
Interface changes welcome; e.g. I wonder if it should be in the same
box as Distribute; though having the separate box does make it clearer
that the Hor/Vert Gap settings apply only to the Remove Overlap option.

Extention Collect images/Publish Zip
by Pim Snel
Hello,
I've been busy creating my first extention for inkscape which is also my first
python script. Though it needs some work we use it allready and it's is quite
usefull.
Its called "Publish Zip" and resides in the filters menu. It does the
following:
- it copies all linked images to the current dir en modifies all links to be
relative
- it creates a zip containing the document and the linked images.
The zip can be mailed and opened by someone else with all images correctly
displayed.
You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1364270&group_id...
known problems:
- Document has to be saved first
- to create a correct svg-document in the zipfile
pubzip has to be run, then the document has to be saved,
then pubzip has to be run again.
- it fails with an ugly error when document is never
saved before.
Unknown problems:
- only tested on Linux/Debian PPC
To solve the known problems I've a question:
Is there a possibility to give a "save doc" command from inside a python
script to inkscape? This would fix all above problems. If someone has another
solution to solve these problems please tell me.
Also another question:
Is it possible to put an extention function in the File Menu next to e.g.
"Save as"?
Regards,
Pim Snel

Disappearing units on win32
by Jasper van de Gronde
I've verified that the bug described at the URL below is indeed caused
by the fact that the _unit_table member is declared statically (as far
as I can tell). It's a pretty irritating bug and the problem should be
quite easy to fix, I don't feel confident enough with the Inkscape
source to provide a proper patch though, could someone look into this?
The variable is declared/used in unit-menu.h/cpp in the ui/widget
subdir, the UnitTable class is defined in units.h/cpp in the util subdir.
For testing purposes I made the static member variable _unit_table into
a pointer, made all methods use getUnitTable instead of using the member
variable directly and constructed the unit table with new inside the
UnitMenu constructor (if it wasn't constructed yet). This seems to do
the trick.
The bug in the bugtracker:

win32 make.* files
by unknown＠example.com
Can src/make.dep, src/make.files and src/make.ofiles come out of the
repository? Or is it possible to script their regeneration so that they
stay in sync?

That would be awesome! I just met Bob Young (CEO of LuLu) today and
found out more about this service.
I'm cc'ing the Inkscape devel list about this as well...
Nicu, maybe you should detail this idea on the OCAL wiki...(note, our
new wiki uses mediawiki)...

inkscape crash
by Néstor Díaz
Hello:
Since 0.42 release of inkscape I am experiencing crashing with the
gtk-qt-engine.
All the others gtk applications works fine with the gtk-qt-engine and so does
Inkscape except for the Align and Distribute Dialog.
Whenever I click on it (new or saved drawing) I get this:
nestorm@...1092...:~$ inkscape

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save document locations:
Documento nuevo 1.2005_11_28_19_10_31.0
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix
it.
Violación de segmento (core dumped)
Removing the qt integration solves this topic, but I wonder if there is any
other reason behind this failure. why it's only with one dialog? why only
since 0.42 release? why only with Inkscape? I use in a daily basis Gimp,
Mozilla, all of the visually integrated thanks to the gtk-qt-engine with no
probs.
It happened with ubuntu hoary and it happens now with mandriva2006official.
Too many questions for me.
Thanks:

0.44 plans
by bulia byak
So, with 0.43 finally out, let's all return to development. The
0.44 will be a "long" "development" release, so you all have
plenty of time to try your wildest ideas. (If you start right now,
that is :)
I would like to list some things that I know are being worked on
and that I would like to see finalized for 0.44. I'm not trying to
push anyone, just making an overview of the projects I know and
care about, in no particular order. Additions are welcome, as are
comments - from the developers mentioned below as well as anyone
else. Let's use this thread to get an idea of where we are and
what we can expect in the future.
- GTKmmfication. Ralf Stephan seems to be making a good progress,
so I really hope we'll see this coming to some kind of milestone
soon, with most of the current code duplication eliminated. An
update on the current status would be much appreciated.
- Rotation center retention (John Cliff) - a very useful simple
patch that just needs to be rewritten correctly. I will then reuse
this facility so that keyboard and Transform dialogs honor the
center position as well.
- Path effects (ACSpike) - this basically means converting all the
Python effects (and adding more) so they are completely live and
applicable to any path or shape, without losing the editability of
the original. We have a pretty good idea of what to do and how to
do it. I'd really love to see this implemented, at least
bascially, in 0.44.
- Memory debugging. No one has been doing this recently. Our
memory intake is truly notorious, and I'm sure a lot can be done
about that by a dedicated developer. The most natural person for
this task is Mental, thanks to his libgc involvement, but patching
leaks does not require much knowledge of the codebase (though it
requires much special expertise), so volunteers are welcome.
- Text UI. I really have no excuses for not implementing the text
toolbar. Except for, you guessed it, GTKmmfication being
unfinished. For example, I want to subclass the Gtk::Spinbutton to
make it easier to add a useful right-click menu for spinbuttons. I
can do this now, but again, I'm not sure how much of this will
have to be redone later.
- DOM (Bob Jamison). We have a Javascript subdir for ages, and I'm
afraid it will start to bitrot (if not already) if not put to use.
Bob, can you give an update on this?
- Layers dialog (Mental). Long overdue. Mental, is there anything
specific we can do to help you start moving with that?
- Swatches panel in the main window (Jon Cruz). Really a must. A
simple change, but one that will change the perception of Inkscape
by new users drastically. Jon, what holds you back with this?
- Snapping. Lots of problems have accumulated in that area. User
complaints are regular. Someone (probably me, though volunteers
are welcome) just needs to lay out a plan and attack this
methodically.
- style.cpp automation - Richard Hughes had some code for
autogenerating style.cpp code from the CSS specification. I wonder
what is the status of this?
- More connectors work (Michael) - specifically, I would love to
see an option for connectors made of hor/vert segments only. This
seems to be the most useful in practice. (And if we have Path
Effects working, one of the first effects I'd like to see
implemented is Round Corners. Any effect will be transparently
applicable to connector lines.)
- Site redesign. We've got a design chosen, so what is the next
step? Is anyone working on that?
- Windows "dialogs on top" patch for GTK from this bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1363297&group_id...
This issue sucks so big that we simply have no serious chances on
Windows until it's resolved. Anyone knows the current status of
the patch?
- Bug sorting and closing. We're really behind on that. Let's not
(try to) clean this up before the release only. If everyone
reviews, comments, and ideally closes a couple bugs right now, we
will all have more room to breathe when 0.43 bugs start pouring
in.
