If a feature falls in a wood and no one hears it ... ?
by Alan Horkan 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

How many people knew Inkscape had spell checking? (Rhetorical.) https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1605259&group_id=… How can such a valuable feature be omitted and can it be enabled by default in time for the next release? Normally I avoid crossposting but I feel I am doing Inkscape users a service by informing or reminding them about this feature. Are there any other fantastic features like this hidden away and awaiting rediscovery? Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/ http://alanhorkan.livejournal.com/

Does that count? ;) When ungrouping, the transformation of the group was applied to the individual items, but not correctly written back to XML. Noticeable when undo+redo'ing. It's fixed now To see what I mean try: LaTeX render 'ab' ungroup ungroup undo redo Incidentally it meant fixing a "FIXME" in the code, of which there are a lot :S Happy hunting! Johan

autosave on crash
by Henning Lorenz 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

During an Inkscape crash a popup-window was displayed announcing that backups of the open files have been created automatically. This is a very nice feature, however I can't find the files on the system (I tried with locate after an update of its database). Is there a known problem with the function or the filename? Cheers, Hennig

So you got CCHost up and running? On the DA end, basically all I need to do is announce it via both inkscape accounts and that would be all. If your end is ready to go, I'll shoot you a direct email with the announcement prior to posting it so we can make sure everything looks good. It never hurts to have another set of eyes look it over. -Josh

I know you said if I don't hear from you, which I didn't, so I just wanted to verify that I should I move forward with it. -Josh Jon Phillips wrote: > Heya, give me till the end of the day to get ccHost up and running so we > can do through OCAL.

will there be new test versions for 0.45/win32?
by momo 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hello, Since the bug hunting has begun for the 0.45 version, I have a question about the download locations listed in http://www.inkscape.org/download/ - The versions at http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32-snap/?M=D are desperately old (25 oct 2005) - http://cortijodelrio.net/~inkscape/win32/ is dead for more than a month already - http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D the most fresh version is from the 10 dec 2005 Will there be everyday compiled fresh win32 test versions to play with in the close future? Thanks! Molumen

svg fonts
by Alexandre Prokoudine 13 Dec '06

Hi, Just to make sure... http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SVG_Tiny_Compliance states that massifr started working on support for SVG fonts a while ago. Is there any update on this? Alexandre
