verbs and the undo stack
by Felipe Sanches
I am not so sure about the mechanics of the undo stack and the meaning of
verbs. I have coded an improvement to the user interface for embedding color
profiles in a document and I have used the sp_document_done call. The patch
is attached.
Could anybody review it?
It adds a "remove" context menu option in the "Embedded color profiles" box
that appears in the "Color Management" tab in "document settings" dialog.
Undoing and redoing works ok, but I am not sure aobut the verbs. I expected
it to call the update() method onde the user press CTRL+Z or SHIFT+CTRL+Z so
that my widgets would be properly updated.

Craft Robo can cut directly from inkscape?
by stuart
Hi...
Been talking to Lucille across the pond and understand that people are
cutting directly from inkscape to Craft Robo paper cutters using (I
believe) the Craft Robo 5.1 software package. As I have not heard
anything about this here (support for non standard Graphtec cutter
protocols) I assume the Craft Robo 5.1 software package uses a Craft
Robo USB driver that identifies and interprets the Post Script output
(nuts, should have ask Lucille how inkscape was setup) of inkscape.
Anyhow, if true, this would be great for Craft Robo users.
However, I doubt that Wishblades (North American versions of Craft Robo)
cutters will benefit. The old blue and new pink Wishblades identify
them selves differently and have not (in the past) worked with the Craft
Robo software. Doesn't seam fair as the old blue Wishblades are no
longer supported by Xyron going forward into Windows Vista from what I
understand. Yeah, I'm going to buy more stuff from Xyron, NOT!
You can still cut from inkscape to a Wishblade but you will need to in
Linux, have Python and Glade installed and use that Python script we've
talked about here on this list (I'll have to look up the URL if people
are interested).
So, are there still people interested in porting that Python script to
windows? I've tried, but haven't been able to figure out how to create
a USB driver under Windows. From all that I have read, Windows is a
real mess when it comes to creating USB drivers (i.e. you can find
companies that will do it but they charge $1000s, ouch...)

Re: [Inkscape-devel] restrict Inkscape open/save dialog boxes
by Bob Jamison
Stan,
Likely the best way would be to not try to
modify Inkscape (might take a lot of work and time),
but rather to run Inkscape in a chrooted "jail" directory,
so that only the directory you want presented to the user
is the one that exists, as far as the running Inkscape is
concerned.
http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:Jtd7y_HjVJAJ:www.linux-mag.com/id/12...
This is similar to how FTP servers export a given directory, but
prevent access to an entire server.
Sorry about the url. Couldn't get TinyURL working on it correctly.

restrict Inkscape open/save dialog boxes
by Stan
Sorry my previous question about kiosk mode was misleading. We already
have a kiosk mode (the window manager is configured to only allow the
browser). I was asking what would be the best way to limit users to one
directory in the Inkscape dialog boxes. We don't want them to be able
to browse the file system.
Thanks,

restrict directory access in kiosk mode?
by Stan
What is the best way to restrict opening/saving files to one directory
in kiosk mode on a Linux console? I can edit and recompile if necessary.

Difficulties in backtracing a crash on XP
by Diederik van Lierop
Hi,
Bug 292077 is giving me quite some difficulties in pin-pointing it. It
crashes Inkscape, but I can only reproduce it on Windows (not on Linux),
and only when I'm _not_ running gdb. To make things worse it even
requires quite some patience to reproduce it. How does one find the
cause of such a bug? I've tried attaching gdb after the crash (is that
possible at all?), and sprinkled around lot's of std::couts, but I
didn't get any closer. I could use some pointers here :-(
Apparently it only crashes when snapping is enabled, but it looks like
it's not the snapping code itself that's crashing. The bug report is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/292077
It's been around at least since v0.46, according to this report.
Thanks,
Diederik
PS: If you want to have a try at reproducing it yourself, then please
use revision 20049 or older. Newer revisions snap less often and are
therefore more difficult to break.

Parallel build on Windows
by Diederik van Lierop
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to do a parallel build using mingw32 and btool on
Windows? I've tried adding -j4 to build.xml, but that parameter is not
being accepted.
I'm bisecting, but this could be so much faster on my quadcore...
