Hi,
Could you please allow users to redefine this shortcut? I can't find
it in global keys/default.xml file. It's a bit frustrating as I was
using "q" key to group objects for a half year or so, and after update
this key started to zoom objects and nothing can be done to change it.
I had the same problem with "d" and space keys, but those were hard
coded for a long time, so most users probably get used to them.

Fwd: NEW: more modes in Tweak tool
by bulia byak
Oops, looks like I sent this to 2geom-devel instead of inkscape-devel
by mistake...
---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: NEW: more modes in Tweak tool
To: "lib2geom-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net"
<lib2geom-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, Inkscape User Community
<inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net>
Several new modes are added to the Tweak tool for transforming,
duplicating, and deleting selected objects using the same "soft brush"
metaphor that the path editing and coloring modes use. Using these new
modes, it is easy to "sculpt" scatterings of small objects, such as
clone tilings, into complex and naturalistic textures.
* Move mode moves those selected objects that are under the brush
in the direction in which you move the brush. This is similar to the
Push path mode, except that the Move mode affects entire objects and
not parts of the paths under the brush.
* Move in/out mode moves those selected objects that are under the
brush towards the cursor (default) or away from cursor (with Shift
pressed). This is similar to the Attract/repel path mode, except that
the Move in/out mode affects entire objects and not parts of the paths
under cursor.
* Move jitter mode moves those selected objects that are under the
brush in random directions and by random amounts, but the overall
amount of movement depends on Force, pen pressure (if you're using a
tablet pen), on the closeness of the object to the center of brush,
and on how long you apply the brush.
* Scale mode scales those selected objects that are under the
brush down (by default) or up (with Shift pressed). The speed of
scaling depends on Force, pen pressure (if you're using a tablet pen),
on the closeness of the object to the center of brush, and on how long
you apply the brush.
* Rotate mode rotates those selected objects that are under the
brush clockwise (by default) or counterclockwise (with Shift pressed).
The speed of rotation depends on Force, pen pressure (if you're using
a tablet pen), on the closeness of the object to the center of brush,
and on how long you apply the brush.
* Duplicate/delete mode randomly duplicates those selected objects
that are under the brush (by default) or deletes them (with Shift
pressed). The chance of an object to be duplicated and deleted depends
on Force, pen pressure (if you're using a tablet pen), on the
closeness of the object to the center of brush, and on how long you
apply the brush. As with regular Duplicate command, duplicating with
Tweak tool places the copies right over the originals, and you may
need to use the Move jitter mode to ruffle them apart.
Note that the duplicates created by the tool are not automatically
added to selection and therefore are out of reach for further tweaking
until you manually select them. To work around this, group all the
objects you are working on and select the group. All Tweak modes will
work with individual objects inside the group, and any objects created
by the Duplicate mode will also be part of that selected group and
therefore immediately tweakable.
Also, the existing path editing modes of the tool have been
rearranged: now Shrink and Grow are one mode (shrinks by default,
grows with Shift), and Attract and Repel are one mode (attracts by
default, repels with Shift). Here is a complete list of modes and
shortcuts of the Tweak tool:
Shift+m, Shift+0 move mode
Shift+i, Shift+1 move in/out mode
Shift+z, Shift+2 move jitter mode
Shift+<, Shift+>, Shift+3 scale mode
Shift+[, Shift+], Shift+4 rotate mode
Shift+d, Shift+5 duplicate/delete mode
Shift+p, Shift+6 push path mode
Shift+s, Shift+7 shrink/grow path mode
Shift+a, Shift+8 attract/repel path mode
Shift+r, Shift+9 roughen mode
Shift+c color paint mode
Shift+j color jitter mode

On hold
by Maximilian Albert
Hi all,
just a quick note to all of you who are waiting for me to further work on (i.e., clean up, improve, extend, etc.) my latest contributions: It's likely to take a while until I can resume this work since my laptop ceased to work a couple of days ago. I can't tell yet how severe a problem it is (although I'm not too confident) and how fast it can be fixed - if at all... But in any case it'll take some time before I can set up either this or a new machine and start working on Inkscape again. Sorry for the inconvenience. :-((

Posible bug with text on windows
by Michael Grosberg
I have a problem with the behavior of the text tool which has been bugging me
(excuse the pun) ever since 0.46 came out and still exists in the dev builds.
I'm guessing it's something unique to my system or else it would have been
reported long ago.
First, my system description: Windows XP SP2, with Hebrew language support and
some Hebrew fonts installed. I also have Inkscape installed on my Ubuntu system
at home, with no problems there.
The problem is with the font selection drop-down box in the toolbar. On my
system, it just doesn't work. I can't select fonts using it. If I have text
selected, I can open the drop down, and click on a font, but then nothing
happens. the drop down list stays open as if I haven't clicked anything.
If I'm on the text tool but have not yet clicked on the canvas and don't have
any text selected, I can select a new font from the list, it will seem as if I
just set a new font, but once click on the canvas to begin writing, the font
reverts to the last used font.
I can only use the text dialog to change font. The font size drop-down box on
the toolbar works normally though.
Is this a known bug? if not I'll report it officially in the bug tracker.

Big Thanks - redux
by jiho
## Sorry for the earlier stub of an email, here is the full thing:
Dear everyone,
I have not been very active for the last few months regarding Inkscape
matters, less than I would have wanted to anyway. The reason why is
posted there:
http://jo.irisson.free.fr/work/#publications
Low resolution version - 3.8Mb : http://jo.irisson.free.fr/work/papers/these_irisson-web.pdf
High quality version - 24Mb : http://jo.irisson.free.fr/work/papers/these_irisson.pdf
I was preparing, defending, and correcting my PhD dissertation.
While of little interest to most of you (I guess no one here is
currently dying to know where fish larvae go after they are spawned),
I wanted to take advantage of this occasion to thank everyone who was
ever involved in the development of Inkscape. Every single graphic
(scientific or not for that matter!) that I have dealt with in the
last 4-5 years have gone through Inkscape and the experience has been
delightful (most of the time ;) ). For all of the 60+ graphics of my
manuscript, the excellent PDF import and export of the current
version, as well as the notorious ease of use of Inkscape's GUI, on
canvas tools, and shortcuts were invaluable. The illustrations in my
dissertation are probably not very impressive for full-fledged graphic
designers; by scientific standards however, they are (hopefully) not
too bad, even quite good for some (most of you would be horrified to
see what ends up on presentations slides in the average life sciences
conference!). I really think that the quality of the tools I used made
me upgrade my personal quality standards and, at the same time,
allowed me to meet these standards.
I am recommending Inkscape often in the scientific community,
especially now that it integrates so well file-format wise with the
rest of the workflow. Except for X11 issues on Mac OS X (which are
mine to fix) people are usually very happy with it, and sometimes
surprised that such quality software could be free. I encourage them
to think about what they could bring to the software and the community
in return, in terms of quality bug reports, well thought suggestions
and the like. Hopefully this will pay in the long term.
Anyhow, I really wanted to thank you all for such a fine piece of
software and for the great community that revolves around it. Working
with (and, on too rare occasions, for) Inkscape is an enjoyable and
gratifying experience.

lpe sketch, vonkoch, and knot.
by jf barraud
Hi!
I quickly added a few words in the wiki about Sketch, Knot and VonKoch.
Please feel free to review and eventually translate to decent english ;-).
btw: I remember I had some remarks about the name of the "knot" effect. Does
it sound correct?
Would "over-under" be more evocative? Any suggestion?
I also have 2-3 more questions about lpes:
-Is there a way to hide/show knotholder/helper paths on demand --- at the
moment, I through them far away off the page :-(
-Is there a way to have arbitrary and dynamically varrying number of
knotholders? I would like to have one per crossing...
-An alternative would be to replace them by a path, with a function called
whenever a point is clicked. Is this possible?
Thanks!
JF.

Preferences refactoring + Calligraphy tool
by Krzysztof Kosiński
I have committed a rewrite of the preferences system. The old
Inkscape::Preferences stub class was replaced by a meaningful singleton, and
everything in prefs-utils.h except the recent file list was replaced with
stub functions using the new class. I replaced all instances of
prefs_get_string_attribute(), create_pref(), pref_path_number_of_children()
and pref_path_get_nth_children(). I'll now concentrate on refactoring code
which contains calls to inkscape_get_repr() - it is equivalent to the new
_getNode member function, but it should be private. I have also introduced
boolean preferences in a backwards-compatible way - generally you can
replace prefs_get_int_attribute_limited(blah1, blah2, 0, 1, 0) with
prefs->getBool(blah1, blah2).
There is however some weird breakage in the Calligraphy tool - e.g.
sometimes it seems that tracing is on while the widgets indicate that it is
off. I don't know whether this is something introduced by the rewrite or a
pre-existing bug. Can someone more familiar with this code
(widgets/toolbox.cpp) take a look?

Re: [Inkscape-devel] web page to show svg file
by Tena Sakai
Hi Sorin,
I am happy with what I discovered, albeit via big
meandering. I have no more issues. Here's the
"big picture" as you asked.
I have an svg file I created via Inkscape, call it
SampleFile.svg. And using a sample given by
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Web-Use.html
I created a webpage:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>SVG Included with <object> tag in an XHTML File</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>s o m e h e a d i n g</h2>
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="SampleFile.svg">
Browser does not support SVG files!
</object>
</body>
</html>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
which works fine. My question was how to make a link
(ie., href) thereby users can click the link and get
my file displayed. Ultimately, I have 46 files I want
to display, but I want any user to pick ones they want
via a bunch of hrefs. That was/is what I am after.
I didn't/don't intend to create a web page via Inkscape.
I think that's what Nicu is doing. By looking at the
example above, I made things overly difficult. What I
am now doing is to have the filename at the right side
of the equal sign of href specification and it works simply
and elegantly (so long as I use firefox v3.01, which is
not a problem for me).
Thanks for your helping hand. I appreciate it.

Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] web page to show svg file
I can help you more but ..I can't get the big picture ...U want a SVG
website designed on Inkscape ?.
hmm, interesting - why you don't wanna HTML tags? and a normal ( HTML )
website - where you can put as many images ( or SVG or Flash files ) as you
want ?
Don't try to generate HTML from Inkscape ( as I know ..this feature is not
planned very soon ), and also this is a nonsense.
Do your graphics on Inkscape, save your work as JPG, then use Gimp to cut
your graphics on pieces, then assemble pieces with an HTML editor eg.
Kompozer / Seamonkey / Dreamweaver / Namo Wen Editor / Microsoft Expression
Web.
I use first 3 editors because I use 98% of my PC time Ubuntu and only 2% of
time ...XP for different Corel Draw conversions.
My last 2 websites ( both are not finished yet ) are done in Inkscape - all
graphics ( ...less photos ofcourse ). Then I use Dreamweaver to put images
on tables. The result = a sum of webpages linked each other by ...links;).
Now the general idea is to tell us what are you need specifically then we
can help you in a more practical an concise way.
..............
Type, Role, Arcrole, Title, Show, Actuate -> they are SVG specific rules -
no need to know them to make webpages
.............
That is, I'll wait for your description ( if is not such a big secret
ofcourse ;)).
