Inkscape0710230156 crash on start
by momo
Today's Inkscape0710230156 crashes on start and shows an error (see screenshot attached). Last build (from October 18) works ok.
WinXP sp2 I will test latest Inkscape0710231722.7z and report.

Tablet issues
by Docsonic
Ok, this is getting silly....
Bulya, I deleted the wiki entry on removing the GTK path, here is why...
When I deleted the GTK path(s), the tablet mouse worked perfectly in
Inkscape, however I later discovered that the pressure and tilt did not
(also in Gimp). So, I uninstalled all GTK programs and reinstalled GTK
2.10.13.
I also uninstalled Inkscape and reinstalled 0.45-1 then copied over
Inkscape-dev from October 18th. Now the mouse returned to its previous
behaviour so (just to be sure) I reinstalled the Wacom drivers (latest) and
no change.
So, to summarize -
With gtk paths, mouse doesn't work but pressure/ tilt does.
Without GTK paths mouse does work but pressure/ tilt doesn't.
There must be a way to fix this as so many people have it working but
removing GTK does not work for me, especially as Gimp makes far more use of
pressure and that also fails with no GTK. As Gimp is also affected it must
be due to GTK so for now I am going to have to give up on this one but I
will post on the GTK forum to see what happens there.
Thanks,
Tony

Testing needed on OS X Intel
by jiho
Hello everyone,
I would need someone with a 'virgin' system on an Intel machine to
test the latest dev build. By 'virgin' I mean:
- without Fink or MacPorts or a custom installed python
- without modifications to ~/.macosx/environment.plist
(- without modifications to ~/.bashrc -- this one should not be a
problem but who knows)
- without the python modules that were distributed previously
alongside Inkscape or in the dev builds repository
Basically this means that if you just install regular mac
applications by drag and drop and never bothered to install Python
for Inkscape, you are the one I need ;)
I made some modifications to Inkscape so that the python modules that
Inkscape uses for the "Effects" are directly integrated inside the
application and work out of the proverbial box. So I need you to
download and install (drag-and-drop, as usual) this:
http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/Inkscape-16250-i386.dmg
Run it, draw something with the calligraphy tool for instance and
apply two effects to it:
- Color > any color effect
- Generate From Path > Intrude Extrude Halo
Both should work with no additional work.
If your system is not as virgin as I described but that you still
want to help, it is possible. You only need to remove the python
packages you could have installed previously, to be sure these do not
come into play here. You need to remove the folders _xmlplus, lxml
and numpy from /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages and then follow the steps described
above.
If you have Fink/MacPorts with python or a custom python install from
MacPython however, this change won't affect you since Inkscape will
use your newer python install and discard the pre-compiled python
modules which are made for the system install of Python. You still
need to install lxml and numpy via Fink/MacPorts or by compiling them
from source.
Please report here your success or failure. If someone could forward
this to Inkscape-testers to which I am not subscribed it would be nice.
Cheers,
JiHO

Pencil weight
by Donn
Hi,
Not sure whether to ask this here or in users...
I sketch a cartoon (with the mouse) and I like to use the single path line
(pencil) tool to do it -- mainly because I can clean the lines quickly. If I
use the calligraphy tool it;'s nice, but hard to tweak.
I have found that the freehand line tool in Sodipodi actually works far better
for this. It has a "weight", a slowness to it that produces fantastic lines
and curves and with only a few nodes to tweak.
Naturally, the rest of Sodipodi is in the Dark Ages and I prefer Inkscape, but
that single tool is more useful in the older app.
I see that Calligraphy has a 'weight' setting, and this does help, but is
there some way to weight the freehand line tool in Inkscape?

Student project
by Steren Giannini
Hello,
We are a team of five french students from the "Ecole Centrale de Lyon" (an
engineer high school, see www.ec-lyon.fr).
Our programs are quite general, we attend programming lessons but we are not
informatics specialists
In second year, we have to work on a professional project for five months
(officialy 4 hours a week, but... we can spend much more time). I thought it
would be a good idea to help developing inkscape.
The only things the school demands is a tutor (in our case, from the dev
team) and requirements. The tutor will be here to help on specific technical
questions, to check the progress of the project and to validate goals.
I have been using inkscape for two years for serious projects. And I am
currently working with both the stable and the svn version (on ubuntu and
windows)
I've found some some projects from the wiki that could fit with what we have
to do :
- the perspective tool (
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PerspectiveObject )
- the add/substract node tool (
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/NewTools )
- Inkscape / GIMP raster graphics Editing Integration from GSoC 07
Thanks for your response

NEW: profiling and simplifying gradients
by bulia byak
In Gradient tool:
* Moving gradient handles by arrow keys is restored (it was broken
for some time)
* Press Ctrl+A to select all stops in the selected objects.
* When two or more adjacent stops are selected, pressing Ins adds
stops in the middles of all selected stop intervals.
* Intermediate stops can be mousedragged along their gradient line,
within the limits of the adjacent unselected stops (or end handles).
* Dragging with Ctrl moves the selected stops snapping them to
1/10 fractions of the available range.
* Dragging with Alt moves the selected stops depending on how
close each one is to the stop being dragged, using a smooth bell-like
curve similar to the node sculpting feature in Node tool. This makes
it easy to approximate different gradient profiles; for example, if
you have a two-stop gradient that you want to shape according to a
curved profile, select both ends of the gradient, press Ins a few
times to add a number of intermediate nodes, then Alt+drag a node in
the middle to smoothly profile the gradient.
* Pressing Ctrl+L with some intermediate stops selected attempts to
simplify the selected portion of the gradient, removing those stops
that can be removed without too much change in the way the gradient
looks. In particular, new stops created by double-clicking or pressing
Ins initially do not change the appearance of the gradient, so if you
press Ctrl+L, all redundant stops that weren't moved or repainted
since creation will be deleted.

I don't remember see this on the Inkscape Devel List.
So, I'm sending this to there.
Just so you know the user list is good but for issues like this the
devel list is easier to get responses from the developlers as they
watch it all the time. Or filing a bug report with the tracker if it
hasn't been done, most bugs get looked at during the release cycle.
As to this bug i think this maybe a GTK bug as Synfig has the similar
issue of not being able to use the mouse for input when input from a
tablet is turned on. Or maybe we not setting it up right who knows.
Thanks for the report,

Toolbar Issues
by Tony Vigil
I just installed Inkscape in my Samsung Q1 UMPC. Inkscape works pretty nicely, but here are a couple issues regarding the main tool bar on the left side.
1) If I undock the tool bar, doesn't stay above the canvas. There should be a means of forcing the tool bar to stay "on top".
2) I can't dock the tool bar along the top with the other tool bars. It would be nice if I could change it from a vertical tool bar to a vertical tool bar. The screen on the Q1 is a tad short to show all of the tools when the tool bar is attached on the left hand side.

pdf-input.cpp:544: error: '_preview_output_dev' was not declared in this scope
by Jeff Kowalczyk
Hello all,
I've had this question about a compilation error with inkscape trunk on
inkscape-users for a few weeks now, and I'm moving it here to inkscape-dev
to see if I can get it in front of the right eyes. I'm really missing the
fun of running inkscape trunk.
I expect this is something specific to my platform (multiple
machines running Gentoo ~x86), and not a general problem with the
codebase, since I haven't seen other reports of this particular
compilation error. There are no relevant Gentoo bugs filed for this issue.
If anyone had suggestions on possible problems with or missing
dependencies, please let me know.
The ebuild I'm using to build /trunk is nearly identical to the working
inkscape-0.45.1.ebuild. Maybe I'm missing a recently added dependency.
Alternatively, if there's a .configure option that can suppress
compilation of this pdfinput extension, I'd be more than happy to use
that as a workaround.

Persistent Undo update
by Daniel Genrich
Hello everybody,
I just took some time to make the "persistent undo" patch
(http://people.csail.mit.edu/sarasu/history/) working with todays SVN
and to make it also compile with gcc 4.1.2.
It's patch #1816710 in the patch tracker.
When applying the patch - don't forget to "./configure" again because of
new files.
I hope this makes review/work/testing on the "persistent undo" patch
easier :)
Thanks!
