about dialog
by MenTaLguY 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

I've just committed a radically simplified about dialog (both code-wise and UI-wise). I'm reasonably happy with it except the size needs a little tweaking and I think the tab currently called "About" needs a better name. -mental

Debian Bug #340855 inkscape: Font dialog messes font style of FreeSans, FreeSans and FreeMono
by Wolfram Quester 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi alltogether, I received the following bug report in debian's BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/340855. Althou it refers to 0.43pre2, I can reproduce this bug on my machine with 0.43. I did not submit it to the tracker since I am not sure if it is a problem with inkscape or the debian package, so my question is if someone can reproduce this bug. Thanks for help, Wolfi ----- Forwarded message from Kai-Martin <kmk(at)familieknaak(dot)de> ----- Subject: Bug#340855: inkscape: Font dialog messes font style of FreeSans, FreeSans and FreeMono Reply-To: Kai-Martin <kmk(at)familieknaak(dot)de>, 340855@...499... From: Kai-Martin <kmk(at)familieknaak(dot)de> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@...499...> Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 13:59:03 +0100 Resent-Sender: Debian BTS <debbugs@...499...> Package: inkscape Version: 0.42.2+0.43pre2-1 Severity: normal The font dialog messes the font style for some fonts. This is what happens with the various styles: "Medium/Regular": The font style jumps to "Bold" when pressing the apply button. Make default sets the default font style to bold. Consequently the font actually used in the drawing is bold. "Oblique/italics": No problem. "Bold": No problem. "BoldOblique/BoldItalic": The font preview shows a regular style. The apply button sets the font used in the drawing to "regular". This behavior is consitent with all three "Free" fonts (Free Mono, FreeSans and FreeSerif). Other fonts that also come in different styles (e.g. Sans or Courier) can be set as expected. The font chooser of the gnome system (MainMenu/System/Settings/Fonts) seems to use the same font chooser dialog. Yet it does not suffer from the described symptoms. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-k7 Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages inkscape depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.1-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.8.1-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgc1c2 1:6.5-1 conservative garbage collector for ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-3 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.10.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libglibmm-2.4-1c2 2.6.1-1.2 C++ wrapper for the GLib toolkit ( ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.10.1-5 The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.9-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkmm-2.4-1c2 1:2.6.2-1.1 C++ wrappers for GTK+ 2.4 (shared ii liborbit2 1:2.12.2-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libperl5.8 5.8.7-7 Shared Perl library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2 2.0.10-3 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxml2 2.6.21-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxslt1.1 1.1.15-1 XSLT processing library - runtime ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime Versions of packages inkscape recommends: pn dia | dia-gnome <none> (no description available) ii imagemagick 6:6.2.4.5-0.2 Image manipulation programs ii libwmf-bin 0.2.8.3-2 Windows metafile conversion tools pn perlmagick <none> (no description available) ii pstoedit 3.33-15 PostScript and PDF files to editab ii sketch 0.6.15-1 Interactive vector drawing program -- no debconf information ----- End forwarded message -----

shortcuts.xml (configurable key bindings)
by unknown＠example.com 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Here's the schema I've settled on: <keybindings name="user-visible name for shortcut scheme">  <primary keyval="a gdk keyval name" modifiers="control,alt,shift" verb="VerbName" />  <seconary keyval="a gdk keyval name" verb="OtherVerbName" /> </keybindings> The keyval names are as returned by gdk_keyval_name(). I've comitted a shortcuts.xml file that I've extracted from shortcuts.cpp; it follows this schema. We'll probably move it somewhere else later, but right now it's in src/. No code to read it, yet, but that'll come soon. I think files using these schemas will go in /usr/share/inkscape/keybindings/ and ~/.inkscape/keybindings/. I'm not sure whether the default schema should remain hard-coded or whether that should stay in an XML file. Thoughts? -mental

Markers
by Daniel Haude 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hello inkscape developers, many of my colleagues and myself are working in a scientific field which frequently requires the production of figures which are essentially bitmaps with some added annotations. A photograph with an arrow pointing at some feature. And a bar with two T-shaped ends to indicate a length unit. The problem is that most of the images are pretty dark, so what would be required are white arrows and scales. Which is difficult, given how SVG treats markers totally seperately from the lines to which they're attached. It is in fact this shortcoming in that has prevented me from advertising inkscape to my colleagues, many of which use WinDoze almost exclusively to prepare graphics in CorelDraw. For my own use I have created a markers.svg file in which I defined the most important arrows and stops in white, but this is a rather unstisfactory workaround (and it will be hell to explain to users why they should knuckle under restrictions which, from their point of view, have to do only with inkscape's weird data storage format -- all they need in the end is PostScript). Let's face it: there is hardly any case in which one would want arrowheads and other markers to have a different color than the line to which they're attached. Sadly the creators of SVG haven't seen this and provided some marker style option that makes markers inherit the colors of their attached path. So what would be required is that inkscape silently added an additional marker definition for every line color that is used with a marker. Maybe the "Stroke Style" dialog could include a checkbox to turn off this behavior if desired. I've looked into inkscape's code hoping to find a place where this functionality could be added but have found none. Anybody who is deeply familiar with inkscape's architecture could probably add the necessary code in one weekend, while it would take me weeks to just get my head around the entire source tree. So I'd be glad if someone could look into this. Inkscape is a great piece of software, and this would make it even better. -- dunno@...1090...

inkscape 0.43 not building on windows
by Sébastien Kunz-Jacques 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi there, I try to build inkscape 0.43 and CVS snapshot on winXP, with latest mingw and perl/gtk2.8 as indicated on the win32 build page (http://inkscape.org/win32/win32buildnotes.html). The trouble is that some files seem to be missing from the 0.43 source archive found on inkscape website (for example, files under src/dom/js). These missing files make the build fail. When I try to build from a CVS snapshot (http://www.inkscape.org/cvs-snap/) I encounter other difficulties which seem to come from a broken CVS tree. Is it normal ? What is required to build 0.43? Best regards, SKJ
