PNG Export directory
by Tavmjong Bah
Hi,
Prior to recent changes if one exported a PNG without specifying a path
it would be saved in the same directory as the SVG. Now it gets saved in
the home directory (in Linux). I don't think that this is desired. I
would almost never want the PNG to end up in my home directory. This is
causing a significant interruption in my work flow as I have hundreds of
SVG's that have the PNG export name set without a path
(inkscape:export-filename). Can we have the original behavior back
(without breaking, of course, the new support of relative paths)?
Thanks,
Tav

Important information about 0.47
by Joshua A. Andler
Hey All,
As you are aware, I am the release warden for 0.47. Unfortunately, I
have some major things going on in my personal life that will prevent me
from contributing much, if at all, over the next couple of weeks.
Given these circumstances, please CC both Jon Cruz and bulia byak with
any patches/concerns you are sending my way so we can ensure they will
be reviewed and handled in a timely fashion.
When things have settled a bit, I will return and resume my duties as
normal. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause anyone. Thanks
for your understanding.
Cheers,
Josh

matrix isScale and isRotation do not work
by bulia byak
This seems to be a cosmetic bug but it's not:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/415168
because the undo comment depends on 2geom matrix functions:
if (_current_relative_affine.isTranslation()) {
sp_document_done(sp_desktop_document(_desktop),
SP_VERB_CONTEXT_SELECT,
_("Move"));
} else if (_current_relative_affine.isScale()) {
sp_document_done(sp_desktop_document(_desktop),
SP_VERB_CONTEXT_SELECT,
_("Scale"));
} else if (_current_relative_affine.isRotation()) {
sp_document_done(sp_desktop_document(_desktop),
SP_VERB_CONTEXT_SELECT,
_("Rotate"));
} else {
sp_document_done(sp_desktop_document(_desktop),
SP_VERB_CONTEXT_SELECT,
_("Skew"));
}
and these are quite fundamental to Inkscape operation - if they are
broken I'm afraid to think what else might be broken. Can someone with
a good grasp of 2geom or just geometry please look into this? I think
this must be fixed before the release.

The case of the empty status bar/notification region...
by Tavmjong Bah
Hi,
I just noticed that the status bar, aka notification region
is often empty. I click on the Rectangle tool and see the text "Drag to
create a r". I then move the cursor over the text, expecting to see a
tool tip with the full text of how to use the Rectangle tool but all the
text disappears. After doing this a few times I realized that passing
over the swatches causes the status bar to show the name of a swatch
(new feature in 0.47); when the cursor leaves the swatch area, the
Rectangle text doesn't reappear. This makes it impossible to read the
full text in the status bar for any tool (except the Tweak tool, where
the text is restored) unless one make an end-around the swatches
(difficult in full-screen mode). Can this be easily fixed?

Excellent idea. I'm not very familiar with the guidelines for doing so
though (I usually just work on the code). Anything I should be aware of?
I assume the file should go into share/examples?

I was thinking of creating a wiki page or something on the general
techniques, as I think they can be of broader interest.
I'll have a look this weekend if I can write up something.

Nodetool problem?
by Thomas Holder
Hi,
with svn rev 22105 (and 22073) I get unexpected node selecting behavior.
So far I can reproduce:
* draw first path
* draw second path
* switch to node tool
* click on first path
* click on some node
Result: two nodes instead of one get selected and the mouse cursor does
not switch to normal arrow when hovering to toolbar. Inkscape also froze
(100% CPU for some minutes until I killed it) twice after such incident.
rev 22044 is fine, so the fix for bug 168780 might have broke this.

Question about file opening function
by Mat
Hi,
I want to call a funtion to open a file.
I find the three function:
sp_file_open_dialog(*parent, NULL, NULL);
sp_file_new_default();
sp_file_open( path, NULL)；
But when I call these funtions in another thread, it crash inkscape.
Is there any required initialization before I call these this function?
My program block is like to :
====
bool InkDBus::openFile(const string& path){
bool result = true;
bool create_new = true;
list< SPDesktop* > desktops;
list< SPDesktop* >::iterator iter;
inkscape_get_all_desktops(desktops);
iter = desktops.begin();
SPDesktop* desktop = *iter;
Gtk::Window *parent = desktop->getToplevel();
sp_file_open_dialog(*parent, NULL, NULL);
return result;
}
====
Thanks first for reading this letter :-)
sincerely, Mat.
