win32 build working again
by Bob Jamison 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

filter for inkscape and OpenDocument
by Jon Phillips 28 May '05

28 May '05

Heya, I just read your nice interview at groklaw (http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20050130002908154). First of all, this is really exciting, but I wonder if you could write up more about what is needed of Inkscape for this new format. I see in your interview you note that there is a needed filter for Inkscape, but it is not clarified what this means. I'm cc'ing the Inkscape development list about this. I just wonder how this OpenDocument format (the newly standardized open office xml format) relates to Inkscape and what you are asking to be done. Or do you want a filter that say one has an SVG file, then one can convert that to an OpenDocument file. I don't think that would be difficult. But, what about OpenOffice support for the SVG file format? Please copy me and/or the Inkscape-devel list and I will make sure they get the response. Or, please reply to me and the list if you are on Inkscape's list.

screwy export
by Jon Phillips 21 Apr '05

21 Apr '05

When I use export, it seems screwy with the DPI. I expect that if I change the DPI to 72, and then change the size of the exported image, the DPI should stay the same. It is really wacky and unlike other graphics apps for the DPI to change when I change the image size, and vice-versa. Actually, most apps, like gimp, etc have locks to constrain dpi and proportions (see attached screenshot). Anyhow, export use to work well for me to do exporting for web, but now is strange. Is this a problem for anyone else? Yes, I understand the logic that the size changes because there are then more pixels per inch, but I don't agree in how it acts. Once someone sets dpi in this, then the exported image should stay the same size and just have a higher DPI, but same size. Thoughts on this? Am I wrong here? Am I smoking something? Whats the deal??

Scripting
by unknown＠example.com 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Sorry I don't know enough about the subject to formulate more proper questions. I'm interested in learning more about the python scripting support. I realize it is a ways down on the roadmap still, but occasionally I hear a bit about it. Is there anything in CVS that I can try or anything I can read to learn more and watch it develop?

Re: [Inkscape-user] icon theming

> My 16x16px icon got scaled down to about 10px in the toolbar. What's the magic here? I would like to be able to tell you why the icons are the size they are, but the icon drawing code we inherited from Sodipodi is scary and nobody quite understands it... :P I'll CC the devel list in case perhaps the gtkmmification team has made any breakthroughs studying and/or rewriting that code. -mental

Re: [Inkscape-user] autosave ?

The one catch is that for crashes due to failed assertions (like this one), it isn't triggered yet. (I'm CCing the development mailing list, if anyone's interested in attacking this right now: At least on Unix, this is relatively easy to fix -- just set up a SIGABRT handler similar to the SIGSEGV handler we have now. The one catch is that the handler will need to disable itself as soon as it is triggered, because the autosave code raises SIGABRT when it is done. Also we should make sure we've got SIGBUS covered if we don't already.) -mental

NEW: snapping improvements
by bulia byak 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

- When several objects (or a group) are selected and the "snap points" mode is active, only the outermost points or nodes will snap, instead of all points in selection. [patch by Eric Jonas] - In the "snap points" mode, a text object will snap its baseline anchor (the left end of the baseline) to grid or guides. That anchor point is visualized as a little square mark when a text object is selected.

BOOST okay?
by Jason Dusek 31 Mar '05

I would like to work on Inkscape, and I'd like to use BOOST ==================================== http://www.boost.org/ ==================================== for things like smart_pointers, numeric stuff and the like. is that okay? is it a problem to make inkscape depend on BOOST? -- _jason

Strange transparency behaviour opening old files
by Lucas Vieites 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Hi, I'm currently using Inkscape 0.41 and when I open up old files, created with 0.39, all the objects that have a gradient fill appear with the correct gradient, but with transparency. I'm attaching an svg file and a png I exported when I created the original, so you can see the difference.
