Proposal l18n screens about.svg
by Valessio Brito
I suggest create 'about.template.svg' and 'about.$l18n.svg' is a
include of template artwork and others elements don't necessary
translator.
See:
<image
sodipodi:absref="about.svg"
xlink:href="about.svg"
style="display:inline"
id="aboutsvgfile"
x="0"
y="0" />
And suggest add in pofiles the string "Draw freely", and run the script:
for ii in *.po ; do sed s/"XXXXXX"/"$(grep "verbs.cpp:2517" $ii -A 3 |
tail -2 | head -1 | cut -d"\"" -f2)"/ about.svg > about.$(echo $ii |
cut -d"." -f1).svg ; done
to create all about.*.svg files, small size, only input translator...
63 files this proposal = 640k
63 copy files or modifi... 10.080k (10Mb)

Plugin proposal: Simple UML class diagrams using UMLet syntax
by Damien Cassou
Hi,
first I would like to thank you for your work on Inkscape. That tool
is quite powerful and impressive.
The only thing I miss is a simple way to create class diagrams but I
know it's not particularly the job of Inkscape to provide that. UMLet
(www.umlet.com) is a very simple UML diagram editor which allows you
to describe your classes and draws the shapes automatically. The
description looks like this:
MyClass
--
id: int
/name: String/
--
f(int, String): char
I would like the same feature within Inkscape which is much more
powerful. What I have in mind is a plugin which:
1- adds a new kind of shape
2- have a text area to enter the class description
3- do *not* allow the shape to be edited through handles but only
through the text area
What do you think? How can I start working on this?

Proposal to move translations into Launchpad
by Pajarico
Hi,
I've been testing Launchpad's web interface for translations and want
to propose a migration to it.
The available tools are:
- Original text.
- Translated text. There is a shortcut to copy the original text to
start translating.
- A checkbox is in place so another person reviews it later.
- Info like comments, variables and return characters are shown clearly.
- You can browse thru the strings and translate one by one.
- It gives automatic statistics for every language.
- It is integrated in theres of Launchpad.
I like this tool because I won't need to have anything installed and
can work in any computer provided it has a net connection.
One thing I don't know is how well changes made on svn will be
handled. I hope there will be no conflicts between edits done on the
web and on svn. Someone has tried this?
Regards.

Good recent inkscape rev to check out?
by Dan Kegel
Hey folks,
I'd like to build inkscape from near the top of tree,
does anyone have an svn revision number
(or branch name) for pre1? As somebody
else noted, the tip is currently a bit broken.
I have a nice batch file that automates the
downloading of dev tools etc. and the
checkout of source code and the build;
I'm using it to benchmark windows vs. wine
for compilation speed. (And as a stress
test for wine.)
Also, does anyone ever build inkscape for
windows with visual C++ express?
Thanks,
Dan

Problems with tutorials
by Arpad Biro
Hi,
It seems that several tutorial files are not listed in
share/tutorials/Makefile.am. "make install" doesn't
install them.
The files (in the tutorials/ directory) missing from
Makefile.am are:
edge3d.svg

potrace-es.png

potrace-sl.png

tutorial-tips.pl.svg
tutorial-tips.vi.svg
tutorial-tips.zh_TW.svg
tutorial-tracing.eu.svg
tutorial-tracing.pl.svg
tutorial-tracing.zh_TW.svg
Do we have to put these into that makefile (supposing
that we want to have them in the release), or were they
left out intentionally?
Also, the English "tutorial-tracing.svg" file refers to
"potrace-en.png", but there's no such file, only "potrace.png".
Does this mean we should rename that file to "potrace-en.png"?

problems with text dialog - pre2
by MilesTogoe
vers .47 pre 2: I found some continuing problems with the text editing
dialog. Font types and sizes are not recognized after selecting the
text object (this seems to be the same problem that existing in .46 (but
worked fine before that). If someone is working on this, I'll be happy
to work with you to resolve and test this.

Win32 NSIS installer
by Chris Morgan
Hi all,
Today I decided to take a look at the NSIS installer for Win32, and decided
to optimise it. It currently uses a macro and function for reading options
from the command line. Since then, FileFunc.nsh has had added to it the
GetParameters and GetOptions macros, which make the code inside the
installer obsolete. I was amused to see that the option-reading code was
made by (a different) Chris Morgan in 2004! For your assurance that I
hopefully know what I'm doing, I have had lots of NSIS experience, mainly at
PortableApps.com, where our launchers and installer are in NSIS. NSIS is an
area I can help in, unlike the one I wanted to do more,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/398603, which I'd like to fix but
can't really.
I also optimised readability and similar through the use of LogicLib's
logical code structures.
I cleaned up the language sections significantly, using a single macro
rather than a section for each, containing a macro. In all of them, polng
was equal to lng, with the exception of Japanese which had, incorrectly, jp
rather than ja for lng. lng was only used for "..\..\inkscape\*.${lng}.txt"
anyway - a mask which matches no files for any language. I'd propose that
that line be vanquished as it's not used (historical?). In the meantime, I
simplified it into one argument for the two. More on languages later.
While doing this I found about half a dozen minor bugs, all of which I've
fixed.
Starting at line 1382 (old), that set of things had the conditions the wrong
way around, so it would only print the detail if it was *empty*, rather than
if it was something... utterly insignificant, but a bug :D More
importantly, all the code around that section was inefficient, I rearranged
it to make it more efficient. Also the deleting HKCU\.svg[z] thing was
looking for the wrong thing, fixed that.
The biggest bug I found was that single-user installations didn't work (at
least judging by the code). The shell var context had been formerly set to
"all", and the all users section set it to "all" and had a bit of code which
wouldn't ever get executed. I got around this the easiest way, which was
just to create an unshown section before it to SetShellVarContext current.
All in all, I took it down from 1559 lines (47,874 bytes) to 930 lines
(34,534 bytes) (60% of the lines, 72% of the filesize), shrunk the installer
output by about 25KB (0.07% :P), fixed some bugs and made it more readable
in the process.
Now for some discussion on what I reckon having looked at it.
Languages: I can optimise those still further, just thought I'd send round
what I'd got so far. In particular, I want to change it so that no
languages are installed by default; this would speed up installation on
Windows exponentially - due to the LZMA solid compression used, each
language takes an inordinate time to install. I think I can fix that up
too, but I'll need to experiment on it a bit. Moving the files first should
help in the technique... I'll try it out and report back. However, back on
the main topic, I want to change it so English is not shown on the list
(it's really pretty meaningless, it's an empty section... and the
SectionGroup is "Translations" of the interface, English is pretty much a
given), and so that the only language which is installed is that which the
installer is running in. I can do that easily enough. Possibly also the
MUI LANGDLL should be displayed to let the user choose the initial language.
Presets: we've got the SectionIn 1 2 3 bits all over the place, but aren't
using the presets at all (any more I guess from commented out code). I
think they should be added back, that way you can have all languages in
full, the suggested one in optimal and none in minimal. Also I think that
quick launch and desktop icons should be on by default.
Start menu: currently this is forced on, in a set location, which isn't very
nice. We should use the MUI STARTMENU stuff.
I also think that a lot of the DetailPrint bits should be cleaned up to
either be removed or so they can be more useful.
The welcome and finish pages should get their own images, I'll make a
proposal for it. Also the header image should get the new logo; likewise I
can do that.
Right, I think that's enough for now, though I've probably forgotten
something I was going to say, and missed a bug or two I fixed.
