Just an idea: Kamaelia for InkBoard
by Dave Crossland 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Hi! I wonder about using http://edit.kamaelia.org/ to redo InkBoard so that it scales to many users. Just an idea I thought I'd throw out there, since Kamaelia is awesome and not very well known :-) Cheers, Dave

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Multiple inkscape layers with same name
by Peter Moulder 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

----- Forwarded message from Jakub Steiner <jimmac@...400...> ----- Hi Peter, thanks for discussing this. It's not a matter of life and death though, I can live with the way things are now. I just thought initially the restriction is fairly artificial seeing that the layer names are stored in inkscape:label. The reason why I wanted to name multiple layers the same is this -- http://blip.tv/file/1077148 It's not much of a showstopper for me though, and I feel bad for wasting your time, guys. Nevertheless thank you for listening to your whiney users :) On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 6:52 AM, Peter Moulder <Peter.Moulder@...38...> wrote: > I asked JonCruz about it.

INKSCAPE GALLERY RC2 ------draw freely...then publish!-------
by davide|inkscapegallery 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

There's a lot to say about this new release...you might prefer to see it immediately..so, start from here: http://inkscapegallery.net/home I worked hard for three months to build gimpgallery (http://gimpgallery.net)and it has been recently released... So i had many ideas about how to improve inkscape gallery, i was tired and anxious at the same time... The second feeling won and i'm here to list what i've done in the last days: *The home page* It is a complete section with 4 subsections, "from the inkscape's world", "highlight on", "special sections" and "a little taste of inkscpae gallery". *4 new sections called:* fresh, mostvoted, older and popular *The "inkscape galleria"* it is a slideshow made with a jquery plugin labeled "galleria",indeed. It is quite smart and fast, just to give you another way to see what is best in inkscape gallery: images! *The user's "inkscape galleria"* Every user has his own "galleria" , just click on the link in the title block of each image content *Some layout improvements* In a big website you will always have something you fixed with a workaround, not in the best way, in other words... I've found better solutions now *The "from the inkscape world" section* It is the upper section in the home page. This was not an hard work but is important i mean, just because i'd like to work together with other inkscape based website. *The wysiwyg editor* we have a simple wysiwyg editor now. It works only for logged in users, anyway *The antispam framework* we've never had critical spam problems, you can directly publish in inkscape gallery only when logged in, indeed. we have user profiles, with an email field and i wanted to keep it safe from spam even if you need to be logged in to view the user profiles... (maybe not anymore in the future...) Anyway, the email field is protected from spam, now *The gimpgallery promo* I wanted to make you know about gimp gallery. It is another image gallery website for a free image editor and it is even more advanced compared to inkscape gallery, actually. It is freshly born and quite empty, i had to borrow some images from inkscape gallery so, if you're a gimper, go there to publish your images! This is what, i hope you to like it, there's always something to fix, to improve but that's inevitable (especially on IE) :-) i'm planning the next steps to bring inkscape gallery to the next release! See you, and keep drawing! Da. http://inkscapegallery.net

can inkscape have multiple pages, and export them to a PDF?
by Albert Cardona 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hi all, The ability to export multiple pages to a PDF would enable: - creating slide presentations - creating books Because at the moment there is no nice way to make neither slide presentations nor books in linux or bsd. Both ooimpress and scribus have very, very bad user interfaces compared to inkscape. Are there any plans on this direction? Thanks for any info.

Code cleanups
by unknown＠example.com 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hello all, I have some discussion points on code cleanup topics: 1. isnormal.h is not used anywhere in the code, can we remove it? 2. isinf.h defines a lower-case macro. Can I add to the coding standard that all #defines should be capitalized? 3. sigil spacing. Apparently most of Inkscape's code puts no space between sigil (*/&) and the following variable name. The coding style document doesn't explicitly mention this, shall I add it? So: "int const * get_int(double &johan);" Cheers, Johan

2geom gsl dependency issue
by Jon A. Cruz 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi, With the latest 2geom update I'm unable to build on Xandros. I'm seeing ./2geom/numeric/vector.h:76: error: -1'gsl_vector_ispos' was not declared in this scope The version of libgsl0 I have there is 1.8 On Ubuntu 8.04 I have version 1.9 I think it would be good if we could keep compatibility with 1.8 at least for a while still.

[Fwd: [Tango-artists] one-canvas workflow]
by Jon A. Cruz 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Here's a recent email on the Tango list discussing icon workflow. There are some interesting aspects to it, and Jakub explains the rationale for various aspects fairly well. Those include metadata "abuse", layers, gradients, shared styles, export, etc. Thought this might spur a little discussion and/or tweaking of some Inkscape aspects.
