September 2005 - Inkscape Devel

Confirmation of dates for the Gimp? Conference
by Dave Neary 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi all, So - we've decided on dates for the facilities for a GimpCon 2006 - March 17/18/19 in Lyon, France. The provisional plan is to have 2 days "open to the public" presentations of free software graphics software. The third day will continue to be open to the public, but there will be no talks planned. The day is available to developers to do a hackfest, or have meetings, or chat & drink beer. Perhaps all 3 :) I've confirmed talks from Oyvind Kolas on a general image processing talk, featuring his non-linear editor and the (future) new core of the GIMP, a talk from Sven Neumann on the GIMP, and a talk from MrB and mrdocs over at Scribus. I will also be contacting OpenICC, littlecms, GutenbergPrint (formerly GimpPrint), Krita and Xsane, to see if their developers can come, and if they're interested in giving presentations. This is going to be a cool weekend. It'd be great to have a presentation on vector graphics. Unfortunately, I don't know if there are any Inkscape developers in Europe, and if there are, whether ye're interested in getting together. Please drop me a line ASAP. Looking forward to seeing ye in Lyon, Dave. -- David Neary bolsh@...85...

inkview broken
by bulia byak 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

In the current CVS, 'inkview *.svg' shows all SVG files on top of each other, i.e. does not clear the previous file from the canvas before showing the next one. Really weird. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Inkboard, Win32 and 0.43
by unknown＠example.com 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

David mentioned he wasn't going to get Inkboard ported to Bob's PedroXMMP library before the feature freeze kicked in. Do we consider this work an effort to add a feature or fix a bug? I know there are plenty of people who would love to get this into the 0.43 release. Perhaps if I file a bug like "Inkboard doesn't work on Win32". :) Aaron Spike

Website translation procedure
by Bryce Harrington 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi all, pistoncito asked about how to do translations of the website currently. I figure this suggests we need some sort of documentation, so here's a start. It sounds like we will need to change this process once we figure out how to do the automatic web browser language detection, but until that gets sorted out, we should use this process. I'll also post this to Wiki so folks can update it as better approaches are worked out for it. http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WebsiteEditing Translating the Inkscape Website ================================ 1. Do a CVS checkout of the website module. 2. Create a subdirectory at the top level with your language code. I.e.: inkscape_web/es/ 3. Copy pages from the main site into your subdir structure, and begin translating them. Look in the other translated areas for examples of what needs translated. Note: The tutorial translations in the doc/ directory are handled separately from the website translation. These are the files in inkscape_web/doc/*/ that have .XX.html extensions. You do not need to do anything about these pages. Note: The translation of doxygen, wiki, and the various SF pages are separate from the website translation. You do not need to do anything about these pages. 4. Add a flag for your language in the images directory. It should be named inkscape_web/images/flag-XX.png. (where XX is your language code). Next add an img for the flag to inkscape_web/includes/header.php See how the other flags are done in that file as an example. 5. Add a news item to the index page announcing your translation. You are encouraged to write it in both English and your native language. 6. If you have CVS access, then commit your changes to the site. See the Website Editing and Working With CVS documentation for directions. If you do not have CVS access, then show your translation to one of the Inkscape administrators for review. They will then give you access to CVS and the website, so you can deploy your changes. Bryce

host reorg
by Ralf Stephan 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Hello, a quick glance tells me there is no RFE I as beginner with the code could possibly implement in short time, so I want to offer my help in the host reorganisation away from SF. Maybe people can use this thread also to collect things that have to be done in this regard. My limitation is that I have no broadband internet, nor a 24h line at my hands, though. But surely there are other things to do. I want the switch, badly, and I think it is more important than RFEs. ralf PS: no flames or RFE discssions please in this thread

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape crashes on "Object - Transform" with "QT" theme on kde

Not having looked deeper, it appears that somewhere we don't check for null pixmaps. I'll file a bug on that. Thanks for your report. ralf

planet charset to utf8?

Perhaps someone should change the characterset for planet.inkscape.org to utf8. The recent polylingual news posts don't display properly in my browser. Aaron Spike

Re: Makefile for clipartbrowser
by Greg Steffensen 12 Sep '05

Wow, thanks a ton! I'll use your Makefile to help myself learn how the work better, so that hopefully I'll be able to keep it updated myself in the future. Running "make dist" currently produces an error though: # Copy in all dist and package files to both /bin/install -c -m 644 AUTHORS ChangeLog DESIGN COPYING clipartbrowser.glade clipartbrowser.conf packages/clipartbrowser- /bin/install -c -m 755 clipartbrowser clipartbrowser.inx indexClipart.py indexClipart.py packages/clipartbrowser- /bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `packages/clipartbrowser-/indexClipart.py' with `indexClipart.py' make: *** [distprep] Error 1 Cool...you should check out the Makefile to see how to add files to it, > etc. Also, make sure to update the new ChangeLog with any changes before > committing.

Thanks a ton; I'm thrilled to hear that. I'm going to slightly refactor the code to make it easier to use a QT or GTK interface, so that I can release a QT version too. Greg

clipartbrowser
by Jon Phillips 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Heya, Greg and others... I finished the Makefile for packaging and installation for clipartbrowser (check out from cvs as module: clipartbrowser). Please check it out and test it out. Greg, I think clipartbrowser.py should be renamed clipartbrowser, and then it needs to be installed into /usr/bin Right now everything is by default getting installed into /usr/share/clipartbrowser I removed the installation into Inkscape's extensions directory and focused on just getting the Makefile to build zip, tar.gz, tar.bz2 and make install and uninstall working. Please check over so we can do the first release of clipartbrowser under the Inkscape project and add it to the main sf.net Inkscape page. There is still more to do, but these changes should move it closer to being a nice good linux citizen standalone from Inkscape.
