Re: [Inkscape-devel] "link" and "unlink" in icons

This is not a cultural thing but a language thing. 1) Chains have links, you are not showing a chain but a link in a chain 2) Padlocks mean something else, they are to protect, keep out and to lock The padlock could mean 'don't let me change this object keep it padlocked' where as the chain link would mean 'I want to link like a chain' I don't know what other languages and cultures would use but we've never had problems enforcing our own ideas of symbolism on the rest of the world why stop now.

Icons

I'm in the process of replacing the icons... unfortunately tortoise svn spazzed after I renamed the old set, and I'm having to do a clean check out to get it resolved. It should be done shortly. Thanks for your patience!

Help with style setting
by Jon A. Cruz 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Help. Tricky code and lack of sleep have slowed my brain a bit too much. For doing color drag-n-drop I've got an SPItem pointer, and the color RGB value that was that was dropped onto it. My main question is what is the 'proper' way to do that?

some proposed layer functionality (UI enhancements)
by Andrius Ramanauskas 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Hi, I just finished one small UI enhancment - ability to create sublayers by using "Create Layer" dialog (patch http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1447043&group_id=9… ), I find it very usefull while I'm creating maps on Inkscape, but I wonder that other are thinking about it. Also, I found two very nice SVG features supported by Inkscape rendering engine, but not available in UI - masks and clipPaths. I tried to think of various ways to implement that in UI and there is a suggestion: - Add menu item "Mask from selection" - Menu item invokes a dialog where user can input: - select if he wants to make a mask or clip path, - enter a label, - view box type (none, user space, object bounding box). This also enables view box properties (x, y, width, height) - select if original object should be removed from layer - select if mask is automatically applied to a current layer - Add properties "Mask:" and "Clipping path" to layer properties dialog and let user select from available clipPath/mask elements - Not sure how this should fit into a layer dialog which (as I understand) is currently developed For a start I will make a prototype for myself without a dialog (mask creation from selection, applying it to a current layer), and if the will be no objections in this list, I will make it with a dialog. So, I'd like to hear that do you think and maybe someone can give me some tips, things not taken into a consideration, etc. Thanks, Andrius

Request for an italian inkscape-user-it list
by Luca Bruno 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Hi all, similarly to inkscape-user-es, surely more than 3 italian users (minimum requirement) asked me for a mailing list where to discuss about graphics and Inkscape in Italian. So I'm asking administrators to create a new mailing list (namely inkscape-user-it or just inkscape-it)... Feel free to contact me if you need more info. Also, please let me know when done in order to announce it to users.
