LPE Extrude: need some input!
by unknown＠example.com 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Hi all, I just 'finished' LPE extrude. I'd like you to test it, see if it bugs for some paths. And, I'd like your input. What should be added and what should be improved? You have to build Inkscape with "#define LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS", otherwise the LPE won't show in the LPE dialog. (uncommenting line 9 in src/live_effects/effect.cpp will do the trick) Thanks, Johan

File preview size limit
by Nicolas Dufour 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Hi all, Heisenbug suggests, in bug #499310 (preview cutoff at 1.3 MB too small for images, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/499310), that we set a higher file preview size limit. The current value is 1.3Mo, and the suggested one is 10Mo. Is this value acceptable? Regards. -- Nicolas

Is there anybody interested in implementig quicktorials into Inkscape? The integrating video tutorial project (http://quicktorials.org) is beginning to be usable and ready for some real implementations. There is a "Help" section on the page, but I would be happy to discuss any arising questions. Cheers, Robert

inkscape aqua - tried again
by Wolf Drechsel 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hello friends, I tried again to build an inkscape aqua… I uninstalled all X11-related components first, than reinstalled the quartz/aqua variants, finally did a selfupdate above all. I ended up with an inkscape build which launches, shows a window for a fraction of a second, and than crashes. Here are the terminal messages: > ** (inkscape:630): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document* > sp_repr_read_file(const gchar*, const gchar*): assertion > `Inkscape::IO::file_test( filename, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS )' failed > > ** (inkscape:630): WARNING **: Unable to read keys file Contents/ > Resources/keys/default.xml > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.manual > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.keys > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.askaquestion > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.commandline > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.faq > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.relnotes > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.reportabug > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.svgspec > > (inkscape:630): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion > `object->ref_count > 0' failed > > (inkscape:630): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion > `object->ref_count > 0' failed As far as I remember, similar messages occured when launching my working version last year, so probabely we dont have to care too much on that. These are a few lines from crash reporter: > Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) > Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000 > > Thread 0 Crashed: > 0 <<00000000>> 0x00000000 0 + 0 > 1 libgdk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x02347c44 gdk_window_destroy + 36 > 2 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x021100b8 gtk_widget_real_unrealize > + 168 > 3 inkscape 0x00140af0 sp_canvas_unrealize > (_GtkWidget*) + 320 > 4 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0251a014 g_closure_invoke + 436 > 5 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252cfcc signal_emit_unlocked_R + > 3452 > 6 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e30c g_signal_emit_valist + 2012 > 7 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e580 g_signal_emit + 48 > 8 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0210c5e0 gtk_widget_unrealize + 256 > 9 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0206fa3c gtk_table_forall + 76 > 10 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x02110090 gtk_widget_real_unrealize > + 128 > 11 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0251a014 g_closure_invoke + 436 > 12 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252cfcc signal_emit_unlocked_R + > 3452 > 13 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e30c g_signal_emit_valist + 2012 > 14 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e580 g_signal_emit + 48 > 15 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0210c5e0 gtk_widget_unrealize + 256 > 16 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0200935c gtk_paned_forall + 124 > 17 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x02110090 gtk_widget_real_unrealize > + 128 > 18 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0251a014 g_closure_invoke + 436 > 19 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252cfcc signal_emit_unlocked_R + > 3452 > 20 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e30c g_signal_emit_valist + 2012 > 21 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e580 g_signal_emit + 48 > 22 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0210c5e0 gtk_widget_unrealize + 256 I can find some google hits on "gdk_window_destroy" - but its far ahead my knowledge to draw any wisdom from it. I'd be grateful for some hints where to start research - inkscape, macports, gtk2 ?? - Who is the person (list, forum) to ask first - any hints would be appreciated. Yours Wolf

node handles
by MilesTogoe 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

I keep running into the situation where instead of 2 handles I only have one - I suspect the missing handle is actually centered on the node itself but there doesn't seem to be any way to get at it. As I cursor around I get all the handles, not just the 'selected node". so is there a way to: a) just get the handles for the selected node ? b) way to highlight the handle points so even if it's on a node, a user can click on it ? or is the 2nd handle sometimes not there ? I think this is somewhat a user question, but also a design/development question.
