giomm again
by bulia byak 20 May '09

20 May '09

Someone has added giomm to configure.ac again. This fails on Ubuntu 6.06. It was added before but then removed. Without it, Inkscape compiles just fine on 6.06. Can we please remove it again? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Hi all, How the py molules are added/updated in the windows installer pack? I search by that in the website but there are no information about. (or i did the wrong search...) If is useful, i have listed the used modules with that line: egrep --no-filename '^\s*(from\s+[^\s]+\s+)?import' *.py |\ sed -r 's/^\s*from\s+([^ ]+).*/\1/; s/^\s*import\s+//; s/,\s*/\n/g' |\ sort | uniq in .../inkscape-svn/share/extensions Thanks, Aurium -- Aurélio A.

Erik Dahlström - SVG Working Group
by Felipe Sanches 18 May '09

18 May '09

I've got the pleasure to meet Charles McCathieNevile from Opera last week here in Brazil. Later he sent me an email introducing me to Erik Dahlström, current co-chair of the SVG Working Group, which also works at Opera Software. I'd like to ask you guys, what kind of interaction is desired so that we can have a nice and productive collaboration? Felipe Sanches a.k.a JucaBlues ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Charles McCathieNevile <chaals@...2183...> Date: 2009/5/18 Subject: Introductions... To: Felipe Sanches <felipe.sanches@...400...>, Erik Dahlström <ed@...2196......> Hi guys, you hould talk to each other. I am not sure whether Felipe speaks Swedish, or Erik Portuguese, but I know you both speak english :) Felipe is a programmer with Inkscape, living in Brazil. Erik is a programmer at Opera, chair of the W3C SVG group, and lives in Sweden. So that gives some context. Felipe and I talked about a couple of things like Inkscape being able to save as Widget, and things that might be upcoming. I am particularly interested in somebody figuring out how to make inkscape do nice animation - apart from anything else that would help provide Mozilla with motivation for implementing animation faster - and it is a nice thing to use when people have to read the code. Erik may have a different opinion since he has to make it work efficiently... :) cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera: http://www.opera.com

phrasing
by Alexandre Prokoudine 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi, When a user saves to Plain SVG and tries to close a document, what he sees is: "The file \"%s\" was saved with a format (%s) that may cause data loss!" "\n" "Do you want to save this file as an Inkscape SVG?" and the choice of buttons is: "Dont' save", "Cancel" and "Save as SVG" Are you as puzzled as I am? :) What would be the difference between "Don't save" and "Cancel"? To which SVG will the image be saved upon clicking "Save as SVG"? Alexandre

how to handle unknown LPEs for shapes
by unknown＠example.com 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi all, Currently, when an unknown LPE is applied to a path, inkscape ignores the whole LPE stack on that path and simply draws the 'd' attribute. (so the path is not resetted or anything. the path will look like intended and like it is shown in all other SVG readers). My problem now is: what to do for other shapes? (stars, circles, etc.). I guess the best thing to do is have a popup upon loading the file that asks the user whether he wants to convert that shape to a simple path, such that it will look like intended. I don't know whether this (convert e.g. a star to a path), while loading the file, will make inkscape unstable... Any help is appreciated, Johan

Question for developers
by Oleg Koptev 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hello all! My name is Oleg, I'm work in Open Clipart Library team (openclipart.org) I want to ask question about OCAL clipart import feature. At this moment as I know it's work only in the Linux version of Inkscape. It is very cool feature for sure, but have many bugs - for example it grabs mostly PNG and not SVG files (it's because the existing version of OCAL based on old version of ccHost) and we lack function of automatic thumbnails. So people forced to upload PNG's first for enabling the preview. Ok. It is doesn't really matter if no one work with it. If yes (what is highly preferable by many people :) ) - please feel free to contact me since OCAL plan to upgrade fully base system with many new features, including auto PNG generation. So I think there will be much less work to adjust existing Inkscape's extension. Wish you all the best, let Inkscape rocks further! Cheerz, Oleg -- C уважением, Коптев Олег With respect, Oleg Koptev Jabber ID - koptevoleg@...189...
