June issue of Linux Format magazine
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

I just picked up the June issue of Linux Format magazine (Issue 80). Their cover this time is on "Libre Graphics", and is coverage of the LGM. Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus and Xara each got two pages. Also, Inkscape people can be seen teeny-tiny on the pic of the lecture hall on the initial page, and then recognizable later on the Xara pages checking it out. Oh, and I was personally very excited to see it, as it's the first time I've really been interviewed for anything significant. :-) Oh, and coming up, I hear that issue 81 will probably have a good article by Jon Phillips, covering many things.

localization problems + questions
by Arpad Biro 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

Hi, List of problems I found + questions I have concerning UI strings: unlocalizable strings --------------------- color names on the palette and in color picker status messages "curve handle, symmetric" "curve segment" "line segment" (when drawing Bezier) "Fill:" "Stroke:" (Inkscape settings/pencil, plus on the tool control bar's status display) should be disambiguated (same string, different meaning) -------------------------------------------------------- src/widgets/toolbox.cpp: GtkWidget *hb = sp_tb_spinbutton(_("H:"), _("Height of rectangle"), src/ui/dialog/align-and-distribute.cpp: /* TRANSLATORS: Horizontal gap */ removeOverlapXGapLabel.set_label(_("H:")); at one location, "H" is "height", at another, it's "horizontal" "Unset fill" #: ../src/ui/widget/selected-style.cpp:162 #: ../src/ui/widget/selected-style.cpp:220 #: ../src/ui/widget/style-swatch.cpp:305 somewhere it's an adjective (status msg), somewhere a verb (menu) problems -------- "Use <b>Edit > Object(s) to Pattern</b> to create a new pattern from selection." there's no such menu item Transform dialog, Matrix tab: "_Apply" conflicts with "_A". ("_Apply" is from GTK.) Text toolbar: "Align left" and "Align right" are mixed up (used to be "Rag left" and "Rag right") "Select only one <b>image</b> to trace" why emphasize "image" here? questions --------- "PovRay (*.pov) (export splines)" is "export" a verb or an adjective here? In /src/dialogs/layers-panel.cpp we have these strings: "New", "Top", "Up", "Dn", "Bot", "X". Where do they appear on the interface (the layer dialog buttons have no captions for me, just tooltips)? #: ../src/ui/widget/panel.cpp:138 "Wrap" where does this word appear on the UI?

WEBFORM Your download link for the Windows distribution is wrong.

bugs repro for 1499971 and 1497837
by Jon A. Cruz 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

Can anyone out there repro either of these problems? One is the libgc-6.7 problem, the other is with the libsmooth theme engine. I *think* it would be helpful to at least warn on these conditions. For the libgc problem, my guess is that a call to gettext() would return null. If anyone can verify the problem and then at least verify that we can detect it by gettext's misbehavior, that would be handy. For the problem with the engine, I *think* we might be able to detect it if we can query for some known module name. Using the gtk_rc_find_module_in_path function might do the trick.
