Imported PNG file not displayed.
by Tavmjong Bah
Hi,
In the past few days, importing a PNG file seems to have been broken.
The svg:image data seems to be correct but the file is not displayed.
Does anybody else see this? Tested with latest SVN on Fedora 9 and 11.

Paths and file extensions in save dialogs
by Maximilian Albert
Hi all,
as of rev. 22010 the "Save as ..." and "Save a copy ..." dialogs
should now remember the last used directories and file extensions
independently of each other (this closes at least LP #184655, #386292,
and perhaps even a few more, I haven't checked yet). It took me a
while to understand how the different OS-specific file dialogs are
implemented, and I hope I got it right. But please test extensively
and let me know if there are any problems. This particularly applies
to Windows users since I cannot test the changes there.
Thanks,
Max
P.S.: I believe the export dialog doesn't remember its own path yet
althouth I modified some parts in the corresponding source files, too.
But it just occurred to me that there is an #ifdef in file.cpp to
choose between different types of export dialogs, so I probably
modified the wrong part. Anyway, my question is: Is it desired to
store the path in the Export dialog at all, at least for the Page and
Drawing tabs?

Sorry for storming into this discussion (I'm not much into guides),
but wouldn't this be solved if we had right click menus that were
actually contextual? A guide could then by deleted by right clicking
it and selecting Delete Guide.
I don't think making guides selectable is a good idea, because barring
any ugly hacks we can only select SPObjects.

lp:inkscape branch in Launchpad
by Krzysztof Kosiński
The lp:inkscape branch in Launchpad is out of sync with SVN, there is
some error when importing. Can someone try to unwedge it? Maybe
completely removing it and importing again from scratch would help?

[NEW] Waf build
by Krzysztof Kosiński
Hello all
I just managed to build Inkscape using Waf as the build system. Although the
documentation of Waf isn't complete and writing the scripts involved some
guesswork and reading the source, it made a lot of things very easy when
compared to Autotools or CMake (for example, the SVN revision feature).
Currently it works for Linux builds, but supporting Windows and OSX only
requires some tweaking. It doesn't do anything beyond building yet (like
installation, updating translation templates, generating manpages and the
like), but I'm working on it.
Regards, Krzysztof

URI is EVIL!!!
by Jon A. Cruz
Hi,
Just wanted to point out that technically URI classes are not usable
for our assets.
For example, it is tempting to use an URI to resolve an asset to the
base document path. The problem is that a URI according to the RFC's
is not usable for file paths. Glib and friends properly implement URI,
therefore we can't use them for files.
In the future we can probably use IRI's or our own classes for
references and assets, etc. However URI's are not usable.
I'm pointing this out since we are just about to release, but I
tracked down a critical bug to being caused by this. In the near term
we should search through the codebase for improper uses of URI
classes. The tricky thing is that they will appear to function since
common path names are "safe." However as soon as unexpected characters
come in (like ampersands), all bets are off.
To summarize:
If we are linking something that is represented by a file (images,
color profiles, etc.) can't be processed with a URI class or URI
functions. It will work for simple cases, but not all.

Update to the latest SVN and it should be in the dbus folder.
I didn't add it at first because it was just for testing, but now I
realize it serves as a fairly good example script as well.
The reason it creates two documents is to make sure functions work
even if they are called on an inactive document. This can be changed
if you don't want to be opening lots of extra windows. (or use
document_0 if you don't want to open any extra windows.)

trying to compile for Mac OS X Aqua native: svn: command not found
by Wolf Drechsel
Hello everybody,
I tried to compile for Mac OS X and get a native Aqua interface.
I installed the packages on a Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC and came to
sudo ./osx-build.sh u a c b i
The result was:
./osx-build.sh: line 174: svn: command not found
SVN update failed
Could anybody give me a hint? - To be really helpful, it should be
dummie-proof… (-;
Greetings,
