Tablet stopped work in Dev builds
by microUgly
I just downloaded the Oct 24 Windows build and found that my tablet isn't
working properly with it.
I can move the cursor with tablet pen, but when I press on the tablet
nothing draws. I tried toggling the "Use pressure" button.
My tablet still works fine in 0.46 and was working in an earlier build I was
using last night (I don't think it was more than a week or two old). Let me
know if you require a bug logged for this.

LPE dropdown box (was : NEW: LPE Interpolate)
by Steren
>> The LPE choose dropdown box is getting really huge now. Who wants to
>> make mockups of what is a better system for applying effects?

> What about just a hierarchical menu with submenus, similar to the Effects menu?
I think this is an issue that needs more to be discussed before coding
anything (search for filters ?)
Here is a first draft for LPE submenus, please comment and modify :

point of view)

Stitch Sub-Paths
=Create= // create a very different path
Gears
Spiro spline
? VonKoch
=Path Tweak= //small modifications
Knot
=Distort= // change the path shape
Bend

Lattice Deformation
Perspective path
=Technical= // tools for tech and serious drawings
Angle bisector

Circle (center+radius)
Circle through 3 points

designing fonts within Inkscape
by Felipe Sanches
Now users can design a font within inkscape, save it and then open the
SVG file in Fontforge in order to export a truetype font (or other
system font formarts fontforge supports).
This improves previous workflow of font design using Inkscape which
involved creating one SVG for each glyph. Now user only needs to
create a single SVG file containing an SVGFont.
Glyph kerning settings for the font can also be defined withing
Inkscape itself with live preview. The kerning management still needs
some improvements but is currently functional at least.
Improvements in the SVGFonts dialog:
* In Global Settings tab you can define the font family name. Other
attributes should be added to this tab in the future.
* Glyphs tab allows the user to:
** see a list (combobox) of glyphs available in the currently selected font.
** add/remove glyphs
** edit glyph name and unicode
** set the glyph curves based on a given path (selected from canvas).
Same feature for the missing glyph.
* Kerning tab allows user to:
** add new kerning pairs
** adjust kerning values of selected kerning pair
** live preview while adjusting the kerning values
Code refactoring:
* Inner classes DocumentProperties::SignalObserver and
FilterEffectsDialog::SignalObserver were duplicated code and another
instance would be needed in SVGFonts dialog. So, I moved it to
Inkscape::XML::SignalObserver (in helper-observer.{cpp,h})
* changed SPGlyph->glyph_name and SPGlyph->unicode from char* to Glib::ustring
* added sp_remove_resource to the release method in sp-font.cpp
* glyph curves used to be stored (in d attribute) and rendered
upside-down. Now that bug is fixed.
Sorry about this huge commit. I got one week away from the Internet
during a xmas travel. The lack of 'net connection made me work more
intensely in Inkscape :-D

extension namespace
by Thomas Holder
Hi there,
is it possible to make the new namespace for inx files optional? I see
no real benefit for the namespace, but it is a real drawback that all
previous custom extensions will become invalid (until you add the
namespace to the inx files). When we release 0.47 lots of users will be
confused and will report bugs for this I guess.

Hello inkscape-devel,
My name is Dmitry, I'm a student from Russia. I'm interested in
developing your project and participating in next Summer of Code (2009).
I want to know about ideas, which I can take part in. And I'm going to
make this work to be my master thesis at University.

Translating filters.svg
by Ted Gould
Okay,
So I think I just committed everything to make it so that filters.svg is
translatable. Since I'm not a translator, it's hard to be 100% sure.
Could a translator please try to translate the filters and reply?
Thanks in advance,
Ted

views bound to rectangles
by Jody Palmer
I would like to be able to add svg view tags like <view id="myview"
viewBox="34 38 92 99"> </view> and have the bounds of the viewbox be
associated with a rectangle. Ideally it would be bound to the rectangle
so that editing the rectangle size, shape or position would modify the
view. The purpose is to allow me to link between SVG diagrams in a
useful way.
Is this supported? Is anyone working on it already? If not and I can
find the time to implement it, would it be a useful contribution?
Any suggestions or comments are welcome (remember that I have not yet
seen the code base).

using inkscape -> plotters in windows...
by stuart
Hi...
First, how do you people do this? Window drivers are a nightmare! For
instance, where do they start and where do applications end? People are
talking about HPGL, SVG ... I just when round and round w/the Graphtec
drivers for their C200-20 and C100-20 plotters. I am convinced they not
only control the plotters but also translate depending on the
application. That is, I have been told, that printing from Word using
the graphics found in the Word's WordArt feature can actually cut on a
Graphtec Craftrobo. How would this be possible unless the driver were
also translating the output of the Word application.
Guess I'm really asking, in windows, using inkscape, is the accepted
"go-between" format between application and drivers PostScript? So, if
anyone dares to write a windows driver, they can at least count on that
much?
Also, I understand that the "pipe the output feature" of inkscape was
recently broken (during a revamping). Is that true? Has it been fixed?
...thanks
