NEW: two new examples
by bulia byak 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

With all the recent additions - clipping, masking, and especially blur - Inkscape is now able to produce extremely photorealistic art. In the share/examples folder in Inkscape distribution, you will find two brand new, stunningly realistic images of shiny cars: car.svgz by Konstantin Rotkevich and gallardo.svgz by Michael Grosberg. Enjoy! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] Windows build crash?
by bulia byak 25 Oct '06

I can confirm that with Win2k and latest build. Any switching to Selector tool from any other tool crashes, you don't even need to create a text. On XP it's ok, though. Arnout, can you please download older builds and find out when this started?

toolbar menus
by unknown＠example.com 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

I just put in a first-cut of menus for the toolbar spinbuttons. You should be able to get them from the "more" menu when there is not enough room to show the spinbutton on the toolbar, and also by right-clicking on the spinbutton itself.

[ANN] Linux Expo London 25/26th October
by Ben Fowler 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Per http://www.linuxexpo.org.uk/, there will be a presentation at the .Org Village of the London Expo for Inkscape. Anyone based in the UK should consider visiting this event which is the major national Linux event of the year and is attended by many 'suits' but still has a slightly 'geeky' flavour. We should be alongside the Audio application Jokosher, and in the illustrious company of Gnome, Drupal and many others. Nearly every sizeable FLOSS project uses Inkscape for something even if only the creation of a humble logo or web page mock up and it a chance to speak to end-users even if rather an unrepresentative collection.

character palette
by Alexandre Prokoudine 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Greetings, A while ago Pierre-Luc Auclair and me created an illustrated proposal for advanced character palette in Scribus. I thought that since a user already requested this feature in Inkscape, somebody else could come around implementing it one day or another, so I copied it to the existing RFE: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604309&aid=1306951&group_… So, if you are this one, feel free to use this proposal for a start ;-) Alexandre

Failing to load .svg files on OSX
by Jasper 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

Hello all, I downloaded Inkscape for Mac OS X (I use 10.3.9) yesterday, and when I tried to open my saved inkscape files today, they didn't open. I joined the inkscape IRC chat and first ishmal and the JonCruz kindly helped identify the problem as a bug. JonCruz told me to report the bug, which I did (hopefully I did it right). He also said that if I asked politely, someone on the mailing list might be able to help me get a different build. If there's anyone who can help me getting a different build for 10.3.9, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Jasper (woodman663)

At the moment the axonomgrid already snaps in X direction to the vertical gridlines. We have to think about how diagonal snapping should work (and in the process make diagonal guidelines :). Without too much hassle I should be able to make snapping work for the vertical gridlines and the points where 3 gridlines meet. After that I can debug the drawing code (zoom in close and see that the emphasis lines are bugged). The reorganisation of grids and gridsnapping gives me lots of frustration every time, because of the C-style gtk-classes :S sorry. So that'll have to wait for now, don't expect big changes on that matter soon. Cheers, Johan
