'make check'
by Ben Fowler 11 May '06

11 May '06

I get this message: Testing removeRectangleOverlap(zero gaps)... eg0...OK eg2...OK eg3...OK eg4...OK eg5...OK olap6...OK loop0...OK loop1...OK loop2...OK random ints with 0 rectangles...OK random ints with 1 rectangles...OK random ints with 2 rectangles...OK random ints with 3 rectangles...OK random ints with 4 rectangles...OK random ints with 5 rectangles...OK random ints with 6 rectangles...FAIL: removeoverlap/remove_rectangle_overlap-test Is it worth sending such a report to this list. 'make check' did not report any problems lst time I ran it. The tests with the 'random ints' actually take a bit longer than any of the others and sometimes I get a message about an Alarm Clock. Does this indicate something fixable at my end, or a possible problem with the testing system... Or anything in particular? Ben

Does anyone have current info on this? I'm not sure whether the XML/SVG info on page http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/TranslationInformation is still valid or not. Can/should we still commit SVG tutorial files directly to SVN? Arpad Biro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

SVG Open 2006
by Joshua A. Andler 10 May '06

10 May '06

I was looking to start planning my trip to Victoria and visited http://www.svgopen.org/ and saw a change in dates. I didn't see anyone else mention it on the list, so here goes... SVG Open has been postponed to October 16-19 in favor of a significantly better venue. I'm not sure who plans to go other than myself, so I figured I would share anyway. As for anyone else who is planning on going, we should probably start to try and figure out some basics. It's probably not too early to discuss such things (I'd like to at least know what others are planning on). -Josh

RSS feed not synced with website news
by Luca Bruno 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi all, I've just noticed that the RSS feed for inkscape.org[1] isn't synced with latest news on the website. It's currently missing at least latest post by rejon. Can anyone please check why and fix it? I remember the feed-generator script is called from a cron (which?), maybe the problem is there or in the switch between CVS and SVN repo...

Kool hack, KDE filechoosers in Inkscape
by Alan Horkan 10 May '06

10 May '06

In case anyone asks again for a KDE file chooser in Inkscape (like Sodipodi used to have) I thought I should point out this cool hack: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=360771 "quick-and-dirty LD_PRELOAD hack that allows *some* Gtk applications to use KDE's file dialogs when run under KDE" ... "4. Inkscape. Works OK - at least 0.43" -- Alan

more on inkscape dialogs
by Jonathon Jongsma 10 May '06

10 May '06

Can anybody give me the quick 2-minute overview on the relationship between the files in ./src/dialogs/ and the files in ./src/ui/dialog/ ? I know that ./src/ui/dialog/ contains a dialog manager of some sort, but the individual dialogs themselves are pretty skeletal, and the implementations of them seem to be in ./src/dialogs/. Obviously the ./src/ui/dialog stuff is newer since it's all namespaced and gtkmm-ified, whereas the stuff in ./src/dialogs is mostly C/GTK+ and non-namespace qualified. Is the intention to move the implementation stuff from ./src/dialogs into the classes in ./src/ui/dialog, or is the separation intentional? Speaking as a relative newcomer, it's a bit confusing to understand how these things all work together at first. thanks in advance, Jonner

Multiple SoC Filters
by Aaron Spike 10 May '06

10 May '06

There are multiple student submitted proposals for implementing SVG Filters. This is a HUGE feature for us. Is there any possibility of breaking the implementation plan into bits so that two students could work on different parts of the problem? Aaron Spike

Summer of Code Proposals
by Bryce Harrington 09 May '06

09 May '06

There's been some curiousity about how many proposals were received, topics proposed, etc. etc. I think we need to respect the confidentiality of the process and the students, so we don't want to post the rankings nor the names of the students, however I think it's probably safe to list the titles of the proposals themselves, to help address the basic questions: Adding bitmap processing to InkScape Application for 'memory optimization' and 'bitmap capabilities' Application proposal Automatic kerning for text on path in Inkscape Bucket fill Filter Effects Gtkmm-ification of Inkscape Improving Python Effects API Inkboard Protocol Spec / Lib Conversion Inkscape / GIMP Bitmap Editing Integration Memory Optimization Memory Optimization New Grids PDF Export Extension PDF export capability for Inkscape Proposal for SOC06 Proposal for implementing colour definitions, as well as management of gradients and patterns SVG Filters SVG filters Standalone palette editor Support for SVG Filters Text Tool Improvements There are a number of factors that will go into determining which are selected, but ultimately the choice is going to be made by those participating in the mentorship process. If you are qualified and willing to serve as an Inkscape mentor, you can participate in the ranking process as well; contact me offlist to work out the details. Bryce
