NEW: Zommed in rendering speedup
by Andrius Ramanauskas 15 May '06

15 May '06

As mentioned in some previous mail, I have finished rendering optimisation, which gives best results for zoomed in drawings with complex (multi-node) paths. Optimisation focus - eliminating cubicTo and LineTo nodes outside of visible area, so no unneeded calculations is needed and less memory is consumed (this avoids crashes which were occurring previously if zooming into a complex drawing). This can be improved even more (for example ArcTo nodes are not affected and is still slow if zoomed in; etc). This might affect all the rendering, so please report any broken rendering issues.

Hello everyone! Hope this is the right place to send this stuff. Here is a tangofied Inkscape-icon in the sizes scalable, 22 and 16. Been on my harddrive for quite a while now, but I figure you might have use for it. http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/inkscape-icon.tar.gz - Andreas

debian package

Hi! Maybe this is a little offtopic question, but there are any debian/ubuntu package from the recent cvs? (A src.deb would be perfect) (When I build from source, I dont have extension menus) Khiraly

distcheck
by Aaron Spike 13 May '06

13 May '06

(I don't think this came through the first time.) In preparation for the upcoming release, I thought I'd try `make distcheck`. $ make -k distcheck make[1]: *** No rule to make target `make.dep', needed by `distdir'. make[1]: *** No rule to make target `make.files', needed by `distdir'. make[1]: *** No rule to make target `make.ofiles', needed by `distdir'. make[1]: Target `distdir' not remade because of errors. make: *** [distdir] Error 1 make: Target `distcheck' not remade because of errors. I know the solution for this first problem is to run mkfiles.pl and mkdep.pl, but I wonder if those scripts should be thrown into the autogen.sh or configure mix somehow. After I generate those files `make distcheck` produces the errors that can be found at: http://www.ekips.org/comp/inkscape/inx/distcheck/stderr.txt Aaron Spike

NEW: INX additions
by Ted Gould 13 May '06

13 May '06

These have actually been in subversion for a while, but I'm just getting to documenting them. Sorry about that. - Parameter type "description". This parameter contains text for it's default value and will put that text in an autogui window. You can't set or get it, it is really only useful for adding text to a dialog. - Descriptions can be translated by using the XML node <_param/> - Effects can have a <menu-tip> node which contains the message that will be placed in the status bar when that menu item has the mouse over it. - Effects can have a <menu-name> node which will overwrite the name of the effect as the name in the submenu. --- Implemented in INX parsing, but not working --- - All parameters can have a "gui-description" attribute which will be the tooltip for that parameter. - All parameters can have a "scope" attribute that has three possible values: "user", "document" or "node". This sets where the value for the variable gets set. The default is "user", which is how parameters work today. In the future the settings will be written into a particular document, or nodes if appropriate. Wow, parameters are getting close to being feature complete :) --Ted PS - Yes, release notes are next :)

Attn: Translators regarding Tutorials
by Joshua A. Andler 12 May '06

12 May '06

I have committed the re-generated svg versions of tutorials to SVN. I will be committing the changes to the Advanced and Calligraphy tutorials in the doc-docbook module shortly. All existing translations will need to be updated for those two tutorials (especially Calligraphy). I will send another message to the list after committing the docbook files to give the go ahead. There were also some recent updates to the Catalan tutorials submitted in SVG to the Patch tracker. It would be great to get updated text in the docbook module if possible so they can be re-generated (with updated header and footer). Also, I noticed that in the main inkscape module, we have a Russian translation for the "basic" tutorial. If that could be converted to docbook as well it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Josh

Inkscape on Spanish / Inkscape en Español
by Juan Miguel Ramirez 12 May '06

12 May '06

First I want to thank you (developers, translators, designers, etc) for your brilliant effort to improve Inkscape. I'm a designer, member of differents free software associations like Iniciativa Focus <http://www.iniciativafocus.org> or Linux-Malaga <http://www.linux-malaga.org> who some time ago chose to bet for free software like present and future on the world of graphic's design. Until now i only have contributed to the inkscape's community with some works and designs and some presentations and workshops around Spain: 2ª Jornadas Tecnológicas Andaluzas de Software Libre <http://jtasl.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=52&Itemid=99>(How to begin to design with free software: Inkscape and Gimp), Congreso Hispalinux 2005 <http://congreso.hispalinux.es>(Collaborative design with Inkscape) and Jornadas de Software Libre de Linux Malaga 2006 <http://jornadas.linux-malaga.org> (How to begin to vectorial illustration and make websites and corporate identities with Inkscape). Even though i want to promote inkscape on spanish and help with this task. This is the cause i want to help not only the project itself but to look for more interested people (there is some volunteers on the spanish's mailing list). I would to do it officially through the website because do it apart it would harmful for all and this is all i propose: * Translate the entire website (there is some parts without translations): o Translate all the news (old an new) o Translate the FAQ o Translate all the documentation (nowdays there is only translated the tutorials that comes with the program) o Translate Tools Section * Translate the interface (nowdays it is at 100% but i think the new version has going to have new terms) * Translate the mailing list(there is a spanish's mailing list but when you, for example, have to register all the messages are on english) * Generate new content for the website: o Create new tutorials o Create a planet inkscape on spanish o Insert new screenshots o Insert new elements into the gallery (illustrations, designs, etc) * Improve Inkscape's website trying to do it more autonomous on certain aspect (for example users can upload new designs, news,etc even though has to be supervised by another) To do all this i need to know who are the people in charge of the differents sections (i think it would be useful to create a section with the differents names and mails to contact them) and begin to coordinate with them on how we can do all this. (some sections like galleries, screenshots, some tutorials, presentations,etc are already made) Regards, Juan Miguel Ramirez (yomizmo) And now on Spanish ... Y ahora en español ... En primer lugar agradecer a todos y cada uno de los desarrolladores, colaboradores, diseñadores, traductores, etc por vuestro brillante esfuerzo en mejorar Inkscape. Soy un diseñador, miembro de diferentes asociaciones relacionadas con el mundo del software libre como pueden ser Iniciativa Focus y Linux-Malaga que hace ya algún tiempo decidió apostar por el software libre como presente y futuro en el mundo del diseño gráfico. Lo poquito que he aportado hasta ahora a la comunidad de inkscape han sido algunas presentaciones y talleres sobre inkscape en diferentes eventos en España: 2ª Jornadas Tecnológicas Andaluzas de Software Libre <http://jtasl.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=52&Itemid=99>(Iniciación al diseño gráfico mediante software libre: Inkscape y Gimp), Congreso Hispalinux 2005 <http://congreso.hispalinux.es>(Diseño colaborativo con Inkscape) y Jornadas de Software Libre de Linux Malaga 2006 <http://jornadas.linux-malaga.org> (Iniciación a la ilustración vectorial y Creación de páginas webs e identidades corporativas con Inkscape). Sin embargo después de llevar un tiempo suscrito a la lista de correo de Inkscape en español me he dado cuenta de la necesidad de promover inkscape en mi lengua materna, el español, y ayudar a la comunidad de inkscape en ello. Por eso me he propuesto no sólo a ayudar al proyecto sino a buscar más personas interesadas en hacerlo para ir sumando día a día(hay algunos voluntarios en la lista de correo española). Me gustaría hacerlo de manera oficial a través de la web de inkscape puesto que hacerlo de manera independiente sería perjudicial para todos los usuarios y por ello propongo: * Traducir la web de inkscape completamente al castellano (hay partes sin traducir): o Traducir las noticias (las ya existentes y las que vayan apareciendo) o Traducir la FAQ al español o Traducir la documentación al español (tan sólo están los tutoriales que vienen con el programa) o Traducir la sección herramientas * Traducir la Interfaz al español (ahora mismo está traducido pero hablo pensando en la nueva version, la 0.44 que sé que trae nuevas novedades que habrá que traducir) * Traducir la lista de correo al castellano (ya existe una lista de correo en castellano pero por ejemplo los mensajes a la hora de suscribirte están en inglés) * Generar nuevo contenido para la web: o Crear nuevos tutoriales o Crear un planeta inkscape en español o Insertar nuevas capturas de pantalla o Insertar nuevos elementos en la galeria (ilustraciones, diseños, etc) * Mejorar la web de inkscape intentando hacerla lo más autónoma posible en ciertos aspectos(que los propios usuarios puedan subir diseños, noticias, etc aunque estas tengan que ser aprobadas por alguna persona) Para todo esto necesito saber quienes son las personas encargadas de las diferentes secciones (creo que sería interesante no sólo para mi, el crear una sección con las diferentes personas encargadas de las diferentes secciones y como contactar con ellas) y empezar a coordinarme con ellas cómo realizar todo este proceso. (algunas cosas como graficos para la galeria, capturas de pantalla y algunos tutoriales están ya hechos) Saludos, Juan Miguel Ramirez (yomizmo)
