Visual feedback while snapping
by Mathieu Dimanche
Hi everyone
Since it's my first attempt at trying to make things improve in a
software, using cvs, and trying to understand a whole project (and
written in c++... sometimes), please don't be too harsh on me and on my
english level, I'm just a little frenchy :)
Very used to illustrator, I miss some little things that make life
easier, like moreeffective snapping.
So I tried to understand the whole object tree, reading both the doxygen
and the code (...when there were comments) and finally managed to have a
patch made. The functionnality is a pretty little one, I just made
guides highlight when moved objects snap against them. For now, this
only works for dragged objects and rectangles being drawed.
I post this for anyone to check if I do right, naming functions,
indenting, thinking the whole problem, so please, feel free to
over-comment my "work", for me to know if I can go on with these kind of
updates. This is the first patch of my life, I hope I've made it well.
Could you test that ?
Next things I could look at could be :
- Snapping modes (enable/disable) Bounding box and dots snapping. I
thik it could be great too temporarily disable bounding box snapping,
just to make sure only dots do it.
- Providing visual feedback of which of these is used now (you grab
a rectangle, its bounding box snaps a guide, the guide turns red
(default highlight color), and a little text appears along the guide
saying (snapping to boungbox). If you drag farther, the boundingbox will
stop snapping and it's the corner dot that will do, so the text'll be
"dot snapping" or something like this... maybe snapped dots could be
highlited too
- Making grid lines highlight when snapped, just like guides (it was
much easier for guides since they are separate objects and the
color/hicolor alread existed)
- Trying to make more snapping objects... maybe angled guides,
objects themselves, middle of objects, etc... all these could be mode
enabled/disabled.
What do people think ? What feature would you like most ?

recent commits: purged includes
by Ralf Stephan
ello,
in the last days, of about 5500 include lines, over 2200 were removed
by a simple program that, for every include, tried to compile the source
without it.
After a first run, problems were identified and handled by removing
overgenerous includes from the most important headers. Also, the problem
of non-indented ifdefed includes turned up and needed manual intervention.
For this reason, it is possible that compilation in some cases barfs
because of overzealous removing.
Another annoying tidbit is the removal of non-indented includes of config.h.
The about two dozen cases will be rewritten the next days and should not
affect compilation in most cases.
Finally, some includes were removed of the respective header belonging to
the source file. This does not affect compilation at all but might annoy
some people writing in the source later on.
Please bear with the side effects. I firmly believe that they are worth
it all. A log file of the removal is available on request. All in all,
a 1.5 GHz computer with 2.5" hard disk needed 12 hours full work for it.
Thanks for your patience,
ralf

Help: Suitable cast to satisfy the below problem.
by Jeremy Teo
Hello,
I'm trying to hack Inkscape 0.4.3 to compile on Solaris 10 x86, with
Sun Studio 11.
Right now i'm stuck at the following:
CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/opt/csw/include/freetype2

SPItem*) needed in SPItem::lowerToBottom().
"sp-item.cpp", line 310: Warning: repr hides SPObject::repr.
2 Error(s) and 5 Warning(s) detected.
I suspect I need to correctly cast
"reverse_list<SPObject::SiblingIterator>(
SP_OBJECT_PARENT(this)->firstChild(), this)," (line 284 of
sp-item.cpp) so that it resolves to
"reverse_list(InputIterator start, InputIterator end)" in reverse-list.h.
Am I right about this? If so, could someone enlighten me on how to
cast it correctly? (I'm no C++ expert).
Many thanks in advance. :)

SCALE Booth
by Ted Gould
Okay, we have a booth, now what do we want to do with it?
First off, who's coming? I've got me, John Taber and Jon Cruz. Jon
Phillips? Bryce, I know how you love LAX! Josh, I know how much a
Southwest flight from Phoenix is, come for a day!
I was wondering if we couldn't do something like "mini-tutorials" at the
booth. The idea would be that they would be like 5 minutes, people
standing, and cover just a single feature of Inkscape. Then, we could
make a flier covering that same feature -- which would give us
interesting give aways for the rest of the time. If we did one each
hour, we'd need roughly 16 of them. We could make a schedule, it might
generate traffic. What do people think? Maybe the same 8 twice (two
day conference)?
I was also thinking that we need some artwork, perhaps the About
screens? They say Inkscape on them, yet still show off features?
Brainstorming people, argue, attack, kill my ideas! Go! :)

scripting bug
by Mathew James Oakes
osx 10.3.9, python 2.3, Inkscape 0.4.3 (Inkscape_20060120.dmg)
installed PyXML-0.8.4 successfully
nothing happens when you go: File >> Execute Python
in the script dialog
starting inkscape from command line gives only this error when that
command is executed:
interpretScript: error starting Language '(null)'
I do other python stuff, and was looking forwards to generating complex
artwork from algorithms in a form that was human editable later.

document properties/metadata dialogs
by Alexandre Prokoudine
Hi,
I'm not sure, whether work on redoing Document Properties/Metadata
dialogs is finished or not, so my question may go out of sync with
your intentions :)
Are these dialogs supposed to be *real* dialogs or palettes? If
dialogs, could they have "Close" button in the bottom please? In both
cases (dialogs and palettes) closing them with [Escape] keyboard
button would be helpful as well. Ideally, any dialog or palette should
be closed on [Escape].
