September 2005 - Inkscape Devel

Re: New Inkscape Goals?

As there was some talk about exporting to different formats, i'd like to thow in another one... OASIS came in my mind. the open document format. Karbon14 uses it yet and i'd guess OpenOffice's drawing app also will. This may not be an important goal, as the format is not popular yet, but still i think inkscape should support it sooner or later. But maybe we don't need to bother about that and get that ability from the Uber-Converter. ;) caliga

Winamp slides long texts to the left and right, similar to some car radios :) caliga

SPDesktop
by MenTaLguY 28 Sep '05

I just committed a conversion of the whole UI::View::View hierarchy over to the collector -- you can't do leaf classes individually and have it work right. Has to be everything in the hierarchy. Not 100% sure I got the code straight because it was a very quick job, but I think so. I'll keep testing. Important thing for everyone to realize: just like refcounted GObjects and so forth, GC::Anchored objects start with a "refcount" of one. No need to refcount them a second time after you create them. I've made this even more explicit in the CG::Anchored documentation which I would encourage everyone to read... -mental

SPDesktop
by MenTaLguY 28 Sep '05

I just had a look at the SPDesktop code and noticed that you're not inheriting from GC::Anchored anymore. That's not safe. Without the anchor, how is the garbage collector supposed to know that the SPDesktop shouldn't be collected while the desktop widget still references it? Remember that the desktop widget isn't and can't be managed by the collector itself... If you do switch to manual allocation with the collector like that in the future, please also switch to GC::Managed<GC::SCANNED, GC::MANUAL> instead of GC::Managed<>, so the object won't get automatically collected. (GC::Managed defaults to SCANNED and AUTO) -mental

UI::View::Edit
by MenTaLguY 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Okay, whoever decided to derive a view class from Gtk::Window ... that was NOT a good idea. I'm open to suggestions how to split Gtk::Window away from it quickly, because among other things that is preventing us from migrating the UI::View::View hierarchy to the collector. The build is broken until this gets fixed... -mental

duplicate menu label
by Arpad Biro 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hi, In the View menu there are two "Show/Hide D_ialogs" entries - one of them is a submenu, the other is a normal menu entry. The submenu label should be something else.
