Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape crashes on OS X

Hi Sorry to start a new thread on this, but I wasn't subscribed to the list before JiHOs post. I experience almost the same problem on Gentoo Linux, when I wanted to test the danish translation with Inkscape using danish locale. See these posts to inkscape-translator: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=26124204&forum_id=48… It only happens with the devel version, not the .44 release.

wiki moved
by Aaron Spike 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

The wiki has been moved to osuosl. Page edits and new registrations are disabled on the old wiki. And redirects are in place so that the old wiki shouldn't be accessible. Please everyone test it out. Try all the urls you can think of and make sure you get sent to the new server. Let me know if anything is broken. What is holding us back from moving the dns records for inkscape.org and www.inkscape.org to the new server? Aaron Spike

Q: Parameters for extensions?
by Bob Jamison 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

I have been working on a new Export dialog, in order to get exports to use the Extension mechanism the same as all of the other inputs and outputs. I haven't seen Ted or anyone else who knows the mechanism well recently, so I thought I would ask here. One question: is there a singleton instance of each Extension module? In other words, can I use a db.get() to find the module, set some parameters, and then later in the module's code expect those parameters to be set? I think I can, but I'd like to be sure before I write a lot of code. bob

For the record, I'm OK with Joshua Andler taking a place in the Inkscape Board instead of me. I'll be happy to find time just for coding, so releaving me from organizational duties is very welcome :) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
