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

Color related tool
by Joshua A. Andler 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Here is an interesting tool I stumbled across called Color Schemer for dealing with color (obviously) that I think would be nifty for us to implement something similar within inkscape. Here are a couple screenshots in action: http://www.colorschemer.com/images/v3screenmain.png http://www.colorschemer.com/images/studioscreenharm.png http://www.colorschemer.com/images/studioscreenmixer.gif There is an online version too, which has the basic functionality and we can probably view source to get some ideas from. http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html My thought is that since we now have swatches, a "utility" like this would rock for knocking together good harmonious swatch sets with great ease. Just my .02 -Josh

Vers 0.42 in Debian Unstable ?
by John Taber 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I'm aware of the gcc issues but I thought it was mentioned that .42 was available in Debian unstable but I dont' see it there (latest 0.41-5). Any word? If it's not going to be there for a while, what is the best alternative, autopackage ?

Congratulations on 0.42!
by mike＠...869... 04 Aug '05

Hi guys, I just wanted to congratulate the entire Inkscape team on the 0.42 release. I tried the final version and it works really well - in fact I've been using it at work to do some of the graphics for a commercial product we're working on. You guys have one of the best managed and most approachable open source projects around, and you should be proud of that. I'd also like to thank you all for bearing with us as maintainership of the Inkscape autopackage transitioned away from me to Aaron. It's a young technology but judging by the number of people using the Inkscape package, it seems to be working OK. You can see how many people are installing an autopackage for the first time by looking at the runtime download statistics. Notice how much higher todays figure is already than yesterdays (which was the first full day of counting) - and it's only 10:30am! That's the impact of your release: http://autopackage.org/stats.php I'm at work at the moment (so can only play with the Windows build) and have no net access where I'm currently staying, but I'll see if I can take home the autopackage on my mp3 player and test it on my laptop. Finally, I just realised that mail2web.com was breaking threading on the list ... sorry about that. If anybody knows a better IMAP->webmail gateway please let me know. Again, congratulations! I can't wait to see what goodies the next version has in it. thanks -mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Put your menu where your mouth is
by Ted Gould 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Okay, So, for a little project I made all the menus configurable by a file in your home directory ~/.inkscape/menus.xml. They use the verb ids, and you can pretty much move things around how ever you'd like. There are still some rough edges, but it should be stable enough to have people start passing around files of how they'd like the menus for discussion. Then people can try them out. Okay, I'm going to bed. --Ted

Possible bug in 0.42
by Lucas Vieites 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Hi, I did a fresh install of the 0.42 autopackage from http://www.inkscape.modevia.com/ap/inkscape-0.42.x86.package on my Mandriva 2005 LE. I found the following strange behaviour: - I create a new drawing with a circle. - Duplicate the circle and resize it (the width of the stroke resizes also) - Now if I select the second circle and try to set the stroke width to 1 pt by clicking on the up and down arrows of the width field in the Fill and stroke dialog it only increases the width both clicking the up or down arrow. The increment is also not one by one, but it is a geometric increment: 4,1 -> 6,5 -> 10,4 -> 16,6 -> 20, etc I hope you can reproduce this. -- Lucas Vieites Fariña <lucas@...212...> Web: <http://www.asixinformatica.com/users/lucas/> Blog: <http://www.asixinformatica.com/blog/>

languages in install
by bulia byak 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Based on feedback so far, we really need the option to NOT install the language files when installing on Windows, so that Inkscape would only use English. I think this should be a pretty simple patch to the nsis installer file, to ask "Do you want to use English interface, or the language of your Windows system (if Inkscape has a translation for that language)". Added bonus if it can detect WHICH language is going to be used. Any volunteers? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Newbie to Developer Process under Windows
by Douglas Neale 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi List, I'm just starting up with the project and want to run under XP. I have been advised that VC++, which I would have preferred, is too difficult to get going. So I started with the 'Compiling Inkscape for the Win32 Platform' document and cannot unpack a downloaded copy of gtk26 with 7-zip. I get the error 'this is not a supported archive' with both gtk copies on the website using either of the 2 available versions of 7-zip. Downloading with IE produces different size files from using Firefox so I'm guessing it's a download problem. Can anyone point me to an alternative source of the gtk26 library, perhaps in a normal zip format? TIA Douglas Neale
