September 2007 - Inkscape Devel

by Miklós Erdélyi

Hi, the cairo-based simple PDF import extension has been in trunk for a while (well, for a week or so :) ). Now I have committed a preliminary version of the native libpoppler-based one to trunk (you can activate it by uncommenting the line Internal::PdfInput::init() in src/extension/init.cpp). I did commit this unstable version because I need your help regarding a strange bug. When a PDF document is opened Inkscape crashes with segmentation fault, giving the following backtrace: #0 0xb6ebeb46 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #1 0xb6ec0ecd in free () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb6ec283f in malloc () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #3 0xb70844b7 in operator new () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #4 0xb70845ed in operator new[] () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #5 0xb71719d2 in PDFDoc::checkFooter (this=0xa6c5700) at PDFDoc.cc:248 #6 0xb7171e90 in PDFDoc::setup (this=0xa6c5700, ownerPassword=0x0, userPassword=0x0) at PDFDoc.cc:185 #7 0xb71721c5 in PDFDoc (this=0xa6c5700, fileNameA=0xa6c56c8, ownerPassword=0x0, userPassword=0x0, guiDataA=0x0) at PDFDoc.cc:102 #8 0x08594ec7 in Inkscape::Extension::Internal::PdfInput::open ( this=0x8857030, mod=0x8861350, uri=0xab497e4 "/home/shudo/tiger.pdf") at extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-input.cpp:51 Please test whether the same thing happens on your system also (note: PDF import is not yet available on Windows) and tell us if you have any ideas regarding the solution to this problem which sets back the further development of the import extension. Thank you, miklos

NEW: CDR (CorelDraw) import via UniConvertor

by bulia byak

Inkscape can use UniConvertor (http://www.sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor) if it's installed on your system to import documents in CDR format (CorelDraw). This feature is Unix-only at this time (since UniConvertor is Unix-only) and requires that you have Python and UniConvertor installed. As of UniConvertor 1.0rc2, only versions from 7 to X3 of the CDR format are supported, and text objects are not converted. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

3D box guides offset

by Alexandre Prokoudine

Hi, When manupulating 3D box from copy of the window I see blue guides offset: http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/9/9/22/f_3dboxguidesm_484ca96.png What I did is 1) created a new view of the window; 2) selected the 3D box; 3) moved it to the right/bottom; 4) pressed X and saw the lines misplaced. In other cases the new tool seems to work fine and I wonder why it's not enabled in the toolbox yet ;-) Kudos to Maximilian! Alexandre

inkscape calibrated display

by Jon A. Cruz

I just committed the initial cut of display calibration. Just set the preference to your display correction profile and enable it. Let me know how it works.

I basically am trying to find a way so > that i minize process so that if I do not like the result I > can change rather quickly without excessive undos :) Please do not expect the thing I'll describe soon, but... just so you know work is done on this kind of thing! I am thinking about an 'Enveloppe' path effect (LPE), something similar to the path-along-path LPE: http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.46-lpe-pathalongpa... You'll need to draw two paths, one for the upper bound (ellipse in your case) and one for the lower bound. You apply the effect to your 'Text > Object to Path' and then your text or path will be stretched from upper bound to lower bound. You'll then be able to edit the bounds live on-canvas, so you can quickly change things around :) I am not sure whether this will make 0.46, probably not unless some other developer is interested in implementing this. I can give a lot of help if someone is interested in making this! Regards, Johan

empty directories

by Alexandre Prokoudine

Hi, To the best of my knowledge, by default several empty directories are created by Inkscape installations: $PREFIX/share/gradients, fonts and patterns. I've already seen several times people asking, where they can find patterns or gradients for Inkscape, because they think that something is supposed to be put there :) Should we get rid of them until we properly support that functionality? And do we have some kind of vision for patterns/gradients libraries? Alexandre

SVG filter effects and Batik source code

by rosros-3＠...112...

The support for all SVG filters (Filter Effects) is very good in Batik (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/). Since the source code is available, would it be a good idea just to take that code and adapt it?? BTW, an old SVG editor such as Graffiti also supports the filters. -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Devi vendere o coprare qualcosa?
