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.

PerspectiveObject / Envelope Effect
by G33K
Hello, I am very interested in the PerspectiveObject feature that is
mentioned in the roadmap for milestone 15 / Inkscape 0.49. Has the
implementation already started? Couldn't find any information. Also, the
link to the example on the wiki seems to be broken. Does anyone know
what it was showing?
Perhaps I might get my hands on a developer machine in a few weeks, so I
might be able to help out.
In the meantime, I'd like to try and fix the Python implemented envelope
effect. It looks like it's only using the corners of the envelope for
the perspective, but doesn't take any curved sides into account. Can
someone tell me in which directory I can find the source code for that
one?
Many thanks!
Gerrit

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Snapping toolbar

That video indeed explains everything! A few months ago I introduced a
snapping delay, which makes snapping in Inkscape much more responsive in
complex documents. That snapping delay is what you noticed when editing
objects, but it apparently it doesn't work when creating objects. I will
fix that. If however you prefer the old behavior without any delay, then
just go the preferences -> snapping and set the delay to zero.

Maybe it isn't a problem after all to add an additional toggle in series.
When creating a grid, the per-grid snapping is turned on by default. So if
a user is not aware of this then he won't notice, and if he turns it off
then... well, that's his/here responsibility ;-). So we would end up with
these options in series:
1) the global snapping toggle -> EVERY USER MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS**
2) the GLOBAL grid snapping toggle -> CLEARLY RECOGNIZABLE ON THE TOOLBAR
3) the PER-GRID snapping toggle -> ON BY DEFAULT
4) snap bounding box corners toggle or the snap nodes toggle
-> EVERY USER MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS TOO**
**) ... but only if they care about snapping obviously.
> Anyway, thanks for the answer and additional explanation.
You're welcome. Thanks for your feedback!

Ubuntu nightly builds
by Ted Gould
Hello all,
So I've gotten most of the way on getting a nightly build setup in a
Launchpad PPA. It builds for the current, the previous and the next
release of Ubuntu. What I'm particularly happy about is the package is
"inkscape-devel" so it can be parallel installed with a stable version
of Inkscape. Here's the PPA:
http://launchpad.net/~inkscape-nightly/+archive
I'm going to run the script by hand for a couple of days to catch errors
but then Cory has graciously allowed me to run it on his server after
that so it should become more regular.

Guide editing by mouse
by Maximilian Albert
Hi,
as a kind of test for some other things I have in mind I added better
support for editing guides by mouse. You will notice that the anchor
point of guides is now displayed on canvas as a small dot. You can
still move guides as you used to, but now you can also rotate them
around the anchor as well as move the anchor along the guide. What I'm
not really happy with, though, is the way in which the various
functionalities are accessed. So I'd like your help in this respect.
Currently it works as follows:
1) dragging the anchor moves the whole guide (and the anchor with it)
2) pressing Shift and dragging the anchor moves it along the guide
(while the guide itself stays in place)
3) dragging the guide anywhere outside the anchor rotates it around the anchor
4) pressing Shift and dragging the guide outside the anchor bypasses
rotation and moves the whole guide (as in 1.)
Does this make sense to you? Do you have better suggestions as to
which functionality should be accessed in which way/with which
modifier?
Thanks for your feedback,
Max

[NEW] Icon theming
by Krzysztof Kosiński
All icons used in Inkscape should now be themable. You can find out the names
by looking at the IDs in icons.svg, at icon names in in
share/icons/hicolor/scalable/*, or at the file src/ui/icon-names.h.
All names are defined in a new file, ui/icon-names.h. This file should be
used for all icon names used in Inkscape. I also removed stale files which
attempted to do the same but weren't used universally (ui/stock.h,
ui/stock-items.h, inkscape-stock.h).
Right now Inkscape uses the discrete SVG icons. I timed "hot" startup (using
"time inkscape --verb FileQuit" twice and noting the second run) and it
seems that it's actually faster (9.281s) than using icons.svg (9.799s),
probably because the RSVG renderer which renders the SVG icons in Gnome is
faster than ours.
Regards, Krzysztof Kosiński
