I recommend using microangelo 5.5+ it can easily produce the wanted icons from png's it preserves transparency and saves in almost all common icon formats ( windows ) On 11/8/05, Jon A.

I've updated yesterday my version of Inkscape User Manual. French speaker may find it at : http://www.le-radar.com/mm/inkscape/html/index.html Tried to do some english translation (helped with kevin): http://www.le-radar.com/mm/inkscape/html.en/index.html Evidently made under GFDL. Please give feedback. TODO : - going on some missing pages; - include more screenshots and update some icons that come from old 0.39 - add step by step tutorials to help beginners - verify modifiers. Example drawings can also be helpfull. cedric

kids "coloring book" function
by Ruud Steltenpool 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hello Inkscape developers, As i'm always looking for opportunities to spread SVG i think i found a pretty good one that Inkscape can help take advantage of This got me the idea: Within the *.pagina.nl framework that has millions of visitors a day, http://kleurplaat.pagina.nl gets so many visitors that nr1 sex.pagina.nl doesn't even manage to quadruple it. "kleurplaat" is a drawing of black lines that is meant to be filled in by using coloring pencils. A whole stack of them combined in a book, being called a "coloring book" in english i was told. The idea: Inkscape having a function maybe called "B&W lines" (B&W being black&white), or "kids coloring book" or something that turns whatever you have created into just that. It's probably not always straightforward, but i think in many occasions setting the fill to "" and the stroke to "black" will do most of the trick. The bigger idea: If you implement this function into sth. that generally works, it might be a good idea to have openclipart.org offer this special version of every drawing (maybe generated on demand). Hope you like it, Keep up the good work, Ruud http://svg-whiz.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ruud_Steltenpool

corrections to dia.inx
by Wolfram Quester 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hi, I got the following bug report against the debian sarge package of inkscape: > When dia is not installed, $HOME/.inkscape/extension-errors.log will > contain the following text which tells the user to get dia at > "somesite.com" : > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Extension "Dia Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met. > Dependency:: > type: executable > location: path > string: dia > description: In order to import Dia files, Dia itself must be installed. You can get Dia at http://somesite.com > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This address is still wrong in the prereleases, so the attached patch fixes the download address to http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/. Since this is only a minor change, it would be nice if it could be included in the release. I'll submit the patch to the tracker, too. Thanks, Wolfi

inkboard/whiteboard connection issue
by Alexandre Prokoudine 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Hi, It looks like Inkboard/Whiteboard is quite selective about jabber servers, making Inkscape crash if it doesn't like the server it tries to connect to (please refer to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1349761&group_id=9…) Is there any precise information on jabberd versions etc. users should be aware of? Should it be mentioned at http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes ? Alexandre
