Fwd: grid arrange => table?

To: Maximilian Albert <Anhalter42@...173...> I'd avoid the term lattice as there have been requests for Inkscape to support drawing lattice structures. Currently there are 3rd party plugins for ai that are called lattice (or lattice gernerators). It is something inkscape should be able to do based on the already existing clonetiles function. I'd say that grid is fine, as it is not "allign to the grid" but "align in a grid", which most people would assume to be an orthagonal array. -Rob A.

pasting from outer space :)
by Alexandre Prokoudine 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hi, Guys, I owe a big friendly hug to someone who made copypasting bitmap selections from GIMP to Inkscape possible in 0.46 :-) For some reason this is not mentioned in "Other changes and improvements". Whoever did this, please don't hesitate to write about it in release notes. Now we only need two things: Inkscape->GIMP copypasting and dpi bug fixed :-) Alexandre

Hidden layers not hidden in preview and print
by Hans-Jürgen Hay 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

for me Inkscape 0.45+0.46pre0 built on Debian etch++ prints layers that have been marked as hidden in the layer menu. The same happens with previews. My installed cairo libaries are just in case this is relevant: ii libcairo2 1.4.10-1 ii libcairo2-dev 1.4.10-1 ii libcairomm-1.0 1.4.6-1 ii libcairomm-1.0 1.4.6-1 Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Alterras GmbH, Allersbergerstr. 185-N, D-90461 Nürnberg http://www.alterras.de/, info@...1868...

infobox for filter effects dialog
by Felipe Sanches 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

I have just commited a feature that took me some time to implement (because it required artistic inspiration) It is an infobox that explains to the user what each available filter primitive does. I'd like to receive feedback about this feature. So, svn update; make; sudo make install and then check what changed on the filters dialog. make install is needed because I have added some images to the UI. One is still missing: feDisplacement Map. Anybody have any idea of how to depict this primitive in a mnemonical way? Juca

new libraries bundle for windows requested
by bulia byak 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi Bob, Here's a summary of recently discovered problems that this new bundle must address: - it must have that gspawn-win32-helper*.exe thing without which effects now crash - it must have at least gtk 2.10.12, because of this bugfix: 392015 Selected menu item invisible on Windows Vista - it must have libgc compiled with LARGE_CONFIG defined, as per the instructions linked from this bug (in mental's comment): https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1803613&group_id=… to remove the 0.5 Gb memory limit. Thanks, and let me know if I forgot something! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
