win32 build working again
by Bob Jamison 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

Tablet stopped work in Dev builds
by microUgly 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

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. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tablet-stopped-work-in-Dev-builds-tp20171213p20171213… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

LPE dropdown box (was : NEW: LPE Interpolate)
by Steren 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

>> 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 : =Artistic= // Everything that changes the path style (on a visual point of view) Freehand Shape Interpolate Sub-Paths Pattern Along Path Sketch Stitch Sub-Paths =Create= // create a very different path Gears Spiro spline ?

designing fonts within Inkscape
by Felipe Sanches 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

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 Felipe Sanches

extension namespace
by Thomas Holder 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

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. Thomas

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. -- Best regards, Dmitry mailto:Dmitry.Jurasov@...400...

Translating filters.svg
by Ted Gould 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

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 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

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). - Jody
