Inkscape 0.43 Released
by Ted Gould 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Inkscape 0.43 is now released. With lots of exciting new features, many sponsored by Google's Summer of Code, this is the best release of Inkscape until the next one. Source code is now available in Sourceforge, and everything is tagged and labeled in CVS. We kindly ask that this release not be publicized outside of the friendly confines of the Inkscape community until more packages are available. Shortly, a more public announcement will be made. Thank you for containing your excitement. Release in SF: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=9911… MD5 Sums: 97c606182f5e177eef70c1e8a55efc1f inkscape-0.43.tar.bz2 8f6ef98f046784b11d843738543866dd inkscape-0.43.tar.bz2.sig e3e92da1464dcee1b42560ff073dfe36 inkscape-0.43.tar.gz a5d7d368af974e8feb9be647ed791b7c inkscape-0.43.tar.gz.sig --Ted

Bringing back onlist so the question is archived for others to see (and including RiDiRi in the Carbon Copy list because he obviously isn't on the list).

Reinstalling the application may fix it. There may have been an error in the package and that file might really be missing but I'm surprised it worked the first time but didn't work later. > The only way I know how to reinstall anything, is by uninstalling and > reinstalling the whole program.

Very often we learn about problems which may have accidentally been overlooked or get ideas for improvements. Knowing people are using and enjoying inkscape is something we all like to hear and not at all a waste of time. > I thank you for all that you suggested.

Perhaps someone else on the list can offer a better suggestion on how to fix your current setup but if you are willing to wait there should be a windows version of Inkscape 0.43 release this week (or sooner) and personally I would do the easiest thing and wait for 0.43.

Hi Richard, The Open Clip Art Library is not responsible for the Inkscape program but the two projects are closely related and a number of our developers work on Inkscape too. Inkscape is open source, free software, meaning that you are entitled to use and redistribute the software as much as you would like -- so there is no time limit. Most probably you are experiencing a bug in the program which is causing a crash. I am sure the Inkscape developers would appreciate it if you could give them a little more information so they can look at it or help you out. I have copied the Inkscape developers in on this email and hopefully one of them will get in touch with the right questions.

0. 4. 3.

I'm awfully sorry to raise this boring topic again, but... Did we decide to skip 0.43 at all? Peter is doing lots of commits into CVS HEAD. Jon is nowhere to be seen. Or, did we release it already and I missed it? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

better pdf output (Linux)
by pasp 18 Nov '05

Hello, Recently I have done simple hack and I used epstopdf [1] command instead of ps2pdf. This way we can export pdf files with full respect to bounding box. Hope It will be useful for someone too :) greets, Tomek [1] $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/epstopdf tetex-3.0-6.FC4 (also included in this mail)

_why's just switched a bunch of his projects to SVN, so it looks like I'm going to be getting some firsthand experience with it on real (i.e. multi-developer) projects. I'll try and keep y'all updated on how it goes. -mental

rubberband selection broken?
by Alexandre Prokoudine 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi, At least as of CVS HEAD rubberband selection seems to be broken. I.e. if I press Shift and start selecting objects, partially added objects don't get added to selection. Am I the only one to experience this? Should I go straight to bugtracker? Alexandre

NEW: more commands in the selected style indicator, misc
by bulia byak 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

More commands in the selected style indicator (right-click menu): ** "White", "Black": Sets the fill or stroke to the corresponding color. (This may be removed when we have a color palette in the main interface, but for now these are very useful.) ** "Copy color", "Paste color": Copies or pastes the fill or stroke color (when it's color) to/from the system clipboard, as text in the #rrggbb format. ** "Swap fill and stroke": Exchanges fill and stroke (both their types and colors, if any). Also: * By popular demand, in Pen tool, if a new path is being drawn but not yet finished, Ctrl+Z cancels that unfinished path (i.e. does the same as Esc), instead of undoing the previous action. * In Node tool, the ! key inverts node selection in the current subpath(s) (i.e. subpaths with at least one selected node); Alt+! inverts in the entire path. (This is similar to how these keys work in Selector, with current subpath(s) instead of the current layer.) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
