Export to Open Clip Art LIbrary?
by Tavmjong Bah
Does export to the Open Clip Art Library now work? It was disabled in
0.46. If it doesn't it should probably be disabled again or if it does,
then it should be mentioned in the release notes.

.47 builds on mac
by Alexandre Prokoudine
Hi,
I'm not really a Mac user :), but every time we release .47 we hear
"but it doesn't look native on Mac". So, did anybody try to finally
build Inkscape with native GTK+ port for Mac? Are we ready to release
Inkscape for Mac that way?

Font selection broken on windows
by Mourad Mokrane
Hi,
the font selection dropdown doesn't work on windows, at least in Inkscape21345-0905140303 on Windows Vista. When the dropdown is opened, an inkscape.exe task appears on the taskbar as if the process was running outside of the Inkscape main window. Selecting fonts has no effect on the typed text.

Vectorising Resolution
by Martin Owens
Hey guys,
I've tried to use the fill and vectorising tools in inkscape to create
vectors from existing bitmaps; but I noticed an odd effect with the path
that all requires two simplify node functions to get the path into a
manageable state.
Are we currently taking into account the resolution of the raster image
we are vectoring in order to smooth out the complexities of the
pixelisation?
The maths need to be able to reduce the noise from the pixel shapes and
try and increase the signal from the shape of the image section...
although perhaps this is only useful for cartoon type images.
Thoughts?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

ENOUGH WITH THE ICONS!!!
by Josh Andler
Sorry about the tone of this message, but... can we stop wasting time
and energy on the icons and focus on getting 0.47 out the door? As a (or
I believe still the only) release warden for 0.47, I am authoritatively
saying, "not this time". My rationale is based on the fact that there
are obviously still too many mixed feelings for this change to have been
made during the release preparation period.
Even after 0.47 is out the door, we shouldn't even bother with a poll
until someone adds an icon set chooser in prefs. This way EVERYONE can
be happy without having to copy/move files.
As a side note... for the remainder of this release cycle... (0.47)
How about every time someone feels the need to start or reply to an
icons thread, they just go to the bug tracker and try to see if they can
reproduce a bug still marked as "New". It's a far more productive use of
time and the community will end up appreciating the results MUCH more.
Having similar or the same discussion(s) every few months has not
changed a thing, nor will it anytime soon. This seems like one of the
most ridiculous wastes of resources, to the point that I'm flat out
angry rather than aggravated. My wife thinks that we're all nuts with
the frequency of these repetitive and non-conclusive discussions. I
don't know that I disagree her. :-)
Anyways, before I lose my cool and start with the profanity and insults
(which I'm on the edge)... let's just be done for now.
Sincerely,
Josh
P.S. If people really want to keep pushing this issue right now, I will
have no problem stepping down as the release coordinator and release warden.

Icon sizes
by JiHO
Hi everyone,
Trying to sort some bugs on Launchpad I dug into icon sizes a bit. In
previous conversations, Jon Cruz specified that Inkscape icon sizes
are defined in src/icon-sizes.h:
enum IconSize {
ICON_SIZE_INVALID = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID,
ICON_SIZE_MENU = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU,
ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR,
ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR,
ICON_SIZE_BUTTON = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON,
ICON_SIZE_DND = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_DND,
ICON_SIZE_DIALOG = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_DIALOG,
ICON_SIZE_DECORATION
};
However, those definitions seem to have strange effects in the facts.
Namely:
- the toolbox has size "LARGE_TOOLBAR" but won't scale to 48 (displays
as >~16) or 32 (displays as <16)
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1047321/toolbox-bar.xcf
NB: I am linking to xcf images because they make it easy to compare
the different sizes in different layers
- the snapping toolbar has size "SMALL_TOOLBAR" but behaves the same
way regarding large sizes
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1047321/toolbars.xcf
- the custom size "DECORATION" affects:
. the color picker: 48 makes it bigger. the rest does not change
. the triangle at the end of the color picker strip: changes
correctly with all sizes, so it would seem that is working correctly
then. But since the color picker itself does not scale to the same
height, it usually appears too big or too small compared to it.
Ideally, it should always have the same height as the color picker
(hence be affected by the choice of size in the picker itself, which
is not the case currently)
. the lock and eye icon of the layer drop down, the zoom icon at the
top right corner of the canvas, and probably other places, which
display the same issue as the icons above
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1047321/custom-decoration.xcf
So there is a common pattern (hence a common fix?). Overall, it seems
that stock icons (i.e not Inkscape provided ones) scale, but Inkscape
icons do not scale. I understand this since Inkscape icons used to be
designed and rendered in a different way. However:
- I thought that recent changes to the icon handling would make
Inkscape icons behave as the rest (this was tested with rev 21339 and
I haven't seen any icon related changes in the svn log since, and with
no custom configuration in .config/Inkscape)
- even if they do not behave as the rest, they should at least display
at their maximum size when the GTK size it set higher that it (32 and
48).
Thanks in advance for any information on all this.
