Needing to make a layer or graphics non printable
by Dennis 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Hi, I am needing the ability to make a layer non printable. Can some one point me to the right area in the code to possibly activate this feature? I did some searching and found the attribute sodipodi:nonprintable here http://inkscape.modevia.com/doxygen/html/attributes_8cpp-source.php on line 00037 but it does not seem to work on a layer or graphic when I use that attribute in the xml editor. How can I activate this attribute?

Inkscape on OLPC?
by Jon Phillips 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Heya, one of my top priority projects at CC now is OLPC. I talked with the pres. of software and content, Walter Bender today and I intro'd myself and mentioned Inkscape, and he immediately said, "Oh cool, I use Inkscape all the time. Want to port it to Sugar?" "Sugar is the core of the OLPC Human Interface. Its goal is to turn the Laptop into a fun, easy to use, social experience that promotes sharing and learning." http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar Has anyone tried to build Inkscape with Sugar? Is anyone interested in doing this? It is a cool thing to have happen, as they are needing a drawing program, and this could help us springboard into the process of refactoring and lib'ification more, as the device has memory/space limits and a targeted demographic, kids. I started a wiki page on it for anyone who is interested: http://wiki.inkscape.org:8080/wiki/index.php/OLPC Would anyone like to help? If so, I can possibly get a development system for use/testing, although I believe there is a livecd of current builds (based on fedora core 6) and a test environment that can be run locally...

Build System
by Aaron Spike 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

How many of us understand how autoconf and friends work? How many are able to effectively edit and maintain the build process? I spent a few days during the 0.45 dev cycle working to add soft linking for libssl. Most of my time was spent in total confusion. And when I asked around no one among us was able to give much help. I find this a little scary. And I wonder if there isn't a different build system out there that more of us could become proficient in. For lib2geom Verbalshadow decided to give CMake a try. I'm not sure what led to this decision. I think he looked at Scons and a few others first. Maybe because a huge project like KDE is using it. I found out recently that our sister project Scribus is also switching to CMake. You can read their happy rants: http://rants.scribus.net/2006/05/20/cmake-rocks/ http://rants.scribus.net/2006/05/20/cmake-certainly-does-rock/ http://rants.scribus.net/2006/07/16/a-little-help-from-your-friends/ Verbal and I have been pretty able to take care of things with CMake. But I'm not sure I can make a recommendation for or against anything because I really don't know that much about build systems. We also have Bob's build system to consider. I'll let him give you the details. I'd like to use this thread to enumerate our needs for a build system. And I'd like to request some volunteers to help me evaluate any alternatives we find. The general needs I know about are: - maintainable by our team - crossplatform support - availability to our end users Build systems I know of include: - gnu auto* (what is the proper name?) - Bob's buildtool - Scons - Cmake People interested in finding and evaluating a new build system: - Aaron Spike Please add to these lists.

As to the seperate Makefiles in every subdirectory they would be a cmakelist.txt but they would all be included into the main cmakelist.txt in the src directory. this can be avoid by setting all the sub-projects in the same cmakelist.txt file but doing this IMO would make the build files a more of a hassle to work with.

0.45 release pickup
by Bryce Harrington 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hi all, Searching for 'inkscape' on news.google.com shows a couple news items: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/2/prweb502902.htm http://svg.org/story/2007/2/5/182623/3069 Also, we've made the feature freeze date for Ubuntu (Feb 8), and so Inkscape 0.45 will be in the new release of Ubuntu, Feisty Fawn. On SourceForge, we've reached the #2 most active project slot. Inkscape 0.45 has already been downloaded over 25,000 times, not counting the .exe package (traditionally the most popular). We're getting a bit of an upsurge in bug reports, so if you have some spare minutes over the next few days, make a habit to peek at the newest bugs in the bug tracker (sort by Open Date with state==Open).

distros and flavours of software
by Esteban Barahona 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

I have noticed that FOSS is basically an "anarchist" way of developing software. Some "natural order" is required. Fractal art is also "anarchist", but it's beautiful. Imagine a base InkScape cross-platform package which depends solely on GTK. Now visualize each "fork" as a flavour. A fork in the tree is one for the 3 most used platforms: First Desktop (Macintosh) Free Desktop (GNOME, KDE, the "light desktops") Propietary Desktop (Windows) that's 3 main forks. but let them happen. just keep the same versioning (ie: no preference among platforms). The Adobe folks said something wise, "use the software of your choice in the platform of your choice". Let's grow up, propietary software was never "evil" and there's a triad of main platforms. A triad of main flavours. Each platform has it's own "quirks", but that make each unique. I propose a 4th platform: ZenSUI It's experimental, based on pure OpenGL 2.0, with "legacy dependancies" of GTK and Qt. It will be paid software libre, because I don't want to stop eating. It will NOT use either the desktop methaphor nor the 3D ui metaphor. It will be a 2D, Unix-only, OpenGL-based user interface. It will be Simple, Transparent, Consistent User Interaction (a SUI not a GUI, and not a CLI) It will allow configurability for the 3 "main personas": developer.designer.user and it will use less than 1 GB of memory in a flash drive connected through eSATA (that's the base "ZenSUI computer"). ZenSUI will use an "information metaphor"; it's information centric (no difference between local and external, the user should know that). It will be the first peaceful-anarchist-corporation*1 of 150*2 members or less. And I, as founder, am the first member. There's room for 149 eager, talented software and interaction producers. The name of this community is ZenSUI.Net (not the generic .Net escuse of a language that made Microsoft). The "place of reunion" is www.zensui.org *1 just a term... it can be also FOSS community *2 3*5*10 -- http://www.zensui.org
