Inkscape / win32 with gtk2.10
by Bob Jamison
Hi, all.
Starting with Bulia's need for me to make an
Inkscape build with Tor's patch for transient dialogs
on win32, there was a need for me to change the
build to use gtk2.10. Since I was going to change
the build, I thought it would be good to modernize it,
thus the Buildtool. Whew. Well, I got the Buildtool
working yesterday, and I just now got a gtk2.10 build
working. Tor's patch tomorrow?
This copy was made with gtk2.10:
http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape0611161701.7z
This is not just a dll drop-in replacement, but a complete
build with new libraries. It seems to work ok here, but
people might want to give it a try to see if it works for them.

NEW: grow/shrink selection in node tool
by bulia byak
* You can grow or shrink node selection by hovering the mouse
pointer over a node and using mousewheel (up = grow, down = shrink) or
the keys PageUp (grow) and PageDown (shrink). Growing adds the closest
unselected node to the selection; shrinking deselects the farthest
selected node. There are two modes that differ by how the
closest/farthest nodes are chosen:
o Spatial selection (Mousewheel, PageUp/PageDown): distances
to nodes are measured directly, regardless of which subpath a node
belongs to.
o Linear selection (Ctrl+Mousewheel,
Ctrl+PageUp/Ctrl+PageDown): node distances are measured along the
path, and only the nodes belonging to the same subpath as the hovered
node are considered (i.e. other subpaths are never selected).
This technique is convenient for quickly selecting an area in a
complex path starting from a center - for example, for node sculpting.
Let me know if you think linear mode will be more often used than
spatial - I can swap the shortcuts so that the more common mode can be
used without Ctrl.

stupid question
by tj
I am a new user to inkscape and I have a stupid question.
How do you close windows like the document and inkscape preferences
windows? I see no close, cancel, etc buttons?

NEW: RadioButtons for extensions (.INX)
by Johan Engelen
I've added radiobuttons to the parameter types for extensions :) They are
called: 'optiongroup'; English is not my native tongue which makes it often
difficult to come up with a label..., please rename if desired.
A developer example is available as a placeholder until a real extension
uses it.

Yes, I think such a checkbox would be a good idea. Can you please do
it, and then we can retire the Wavy.

The "function plotter" is meant to be a more general plotter than "wavy".
"wavy" let's you specify the x-range in multiples of pi, which is very
convenient for plotting periodic functions. "function plotter" does not let
you do this which can be annoying. I'd like to keep them separate, but we
can also merge them by adding for example a checkbox to "function plotter"
to multiply the x-range by 2pi. Another option is to use the read-out
possibility of the notebook parameter: "wavy" could be added as a tab and
the extension can determine which tab was selected when processing...
(definately not clear to users and this has not my preference)

I don't see how your code fits that explanation, in particular the
icons example. There may be much more groups in an icons file (examine
our own icons.svg for example), not only the top-level groups
corresponding to icons. Icons may contain some inner groups, which
will get exported too. On the other hand, some simple icons may be
represented by a single shape, not a group. And finally, I may want to
export not ALL icons in the file but only some of them (more than one
but not all). Your code can't do this either.

It is different in that it exports each selected object SEPARATELY,
creating as many PNG files as you have objects selected.

win32 build tool
by Adib Taraben
Hello Bob Jamison,
I think your build tool is much faster than make ...
there is a problem with the l10n:
Build should create for all po/*.mo files a directory in inkscape/local/
with the name of the file (without extension) and copy the file to that
location.
Is that possible ?
Thx,
Adib.
