Re: [Inkscape-devel] CMake status
by Henning Meyer
I'm new to the list. But I'd like to see a cmake-build solution. It's
more flexible and easier to maintain on multiple platforms. Also it
would be easier for me to integrate additional libraries for
testing-purposes ;-)

I don't know your MinGW environment, but this problem is known and seems
to be solved here:

CMake status
by Krzysztof Kosiński
This was raised in another thread, but I think this issue is fairly important
- what is the status of CMake? Having three parallel build systems (homebrew
buildtool, autotools and CMake) is at least awkward. I understand that
migrating to CMake would allow us to remove the Windows build system. On the
other hand, figuring out how to compile Inkscape on Windows using MinGW and
MSYS would do the same.

2Geom Progress
by Joshua L. Blocher
I'm going to take a random stab in the air and say we are about 70-75%
complete with the Conversion to 2Geom.
Things that still need done:
- NRRect/NR::Rect need converting to Geom::Rect or Geom::OptRect
- Filter needs to be moved out of the NR namespace maybe namespace Inkscape{
namespace Filter{
}}
- sp-gradient.cpp & sp-pattern.cpp have deeper than normal libnr connection
functionality will have to be moved out of NR or replaced
- Include 2geom files instead of libnr files, simple replace and see if it
compiles
- Integer versions of Rect , Coord , etc
Please see
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CheatSheetForConvertingto2geom for a
general guide for converting. If you have problems or questions please feel
free to ask on here or in the channels on Jabber or IRC.

does not load/create preferences in linux
by the Adib
Hello all,
I am trying to extend the preferences by an /i18n/language entry in
order to switch the user-interface language by inkscape preference
settings.
But using the svn devel it does not load /save the user default
preferences in the /home/user/.inkscape directory .!?
When I delete the .inkscape directory I expect that inkscape recreate
the whole structure from scratch. But this is not the case.
The version 0.46 does so.
Any thoughts ?
Adib.

How can I get a text bounding box in a python script?
by Bernd D.
Hello,
I try to write a python script that help drawing diagrams (i.e. syntax
diagrams). A node in this typ of diagram, is a rectangle with rounded
edges and a centered text caption in it. In the script, I need the
bounding box of the text, for the calculation of the correct node
rectangle size, to hold the whole text in it. But how can I get the
bounding box? Is there somebody that can point me to a solution?
Best regards,
Bernd

SVG Fonts and PDF import
by Krzysztof Kosiński
I understand that there's now some support for SVG Fonts thanks to Felipe
Sanches' GSoC project. I would be great if the people responsible for the
PDF import plugin added support for PDFs with embedded fonts (i.e. different
than those installed in the system). This way I could open LaTeX documents
in Inkscape without text breakage. Also of use would be an export option
that embeds all fonts in the SVG (with a checkbox specifying whether to
embed entire fonts or the subsets used in the document), so that fancy text
could remain editable in portable documents.
Regards, Krzysztof Kosiński

Crash in console mode resulting from rev. 20388
by Jasper van de Gronde
Inkscape suddenly crashes for me when using the command line export
functionality (in some cases at least). It seems to crash in
SPDesktop::doc2dt, probably due to a null-pointer dereference. This
function is called from sp_item_i2d_affine now, since rev. 20388. And
this was also one of the few revisions since I last updated, so it could
very well have to do with this revision.
My guess is that there simply isn't any instance of SPDesktop when
Inkscape is used as a command line executable. So possibly the error
isn't in sp_item_i2d_affine as such, but rather in the fact that it is
being called at all. If anyone with a bit more understanding of this
area of the code could have a look that would be great.

NEW: Converting text to path produces a group
by bulia byak
Converting a text or flowed text to path (Ctrl+Shift+C) now produces a
group of paths, one path for each glyph of text, instead of a single
monolithic path as before. Apart from easier manipulation, an
additional advantage is that if your text contained styled spans (i.e.
fragments with different color, opacity, or other properties), these
styles will be preserved by the corresponding glyph paths after
converting to paths.

Grid snapping do not work anymore
by Yann Papouin
Hi,
In rev 20168, grid snapping was working correctly, because when I was
drawing a new polygon, new points where added at lines intersections of a
axonometric or a rectangular grid.
But it is not working anymore in rev 20383 (maybe corrupted in previous
revisions) the snapping only occured on grid lines, not points. Maybe an
option should be added in the "Snap to grid" section of the Snap tab with
two checkboxes:
- Snap to grid lines
- Snap to grid points
And when the two are checked the snapping power of grid points should be
increase.
