Inkscape(Quartz) crahes sometimes when opening files
by Janosch Peters 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hi there, Im trying to get the native (non-X11) inkscape version working. I first tried the version from macports. However, it crashed about half of the time when I wanted to open an SVG file. I then tried to compile it manually following the instructions on the inkscape wiki http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX. The section where it says "Building Aqua from scratch, 2010". Unfortunately, I get the very same error. More or less every second time I open a SVG file inkscape crashes. See the console output and the crash report below. I only postet the part of the crash report which looked relevant to me. If you need more detailed logs, let me know. The X11 version runs fine, by the way. Except that there are other bugs making copy & paste unusable. cheers, Janosch Console output: ====================================== Janoschs-MacBook:Inkscape.app jp$ Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape Setting Language: de_DE.UTF-8 cp: /Users/jp/Code/inkscape/myproject/packaging/macosx/Inkscape.app/ Contents/Resources/etc/pango/pangox.aliases: No such file or directory /Users/jp/.inkscape-etc/gtkrc:56: Clearlooks configuration option "menuitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored. /Users/jp/.inkscape-etc/gtkrc:57: Clearlooks configuration option "listviewitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored. /Users/jp/.inkscape-etc/gtkrc:58: Clearlooks configuration option "progressbarstyle" is not supported and will be ignored.

First core contribution: undefined reference to Class::method()
by Aurélio A. Heckert 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hi all, I'm a extension developer but i want to collaborate with the core. I'm not skilled in C++ and GTK but i'm reading a lot. I create some long running extensions and will be cool if i can show the percentage and what it is doing while the user wait. So, i want to replace the current simple Gtk::MessageDialog by an Inkscape::Extension::WorkingDialog. I did my first test code, compiled it, but the make fails on linking. I already refered the new class files on this files: src/extension/CMakeLists.txt and src/extension/Makefile_insert But i run "./configure && make" and still getting this error: /src/extension/execution-env.cpp:82: undefined reference to `Inkscape::Extension::WorkingDialog::hide()' Please, see my .diff and error.txt attached files. PS: i'm thinking in open a pipe to the extension set the percentage and description text. Thanks! Aurium -- Aurélio A.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Cairo rendering proposal

A simple and relatively cheap method, similar to your proposal, which I for some time was thinking of trying, would be to start by testing, from top to bottom, if any object in the repaint buffer covers it completely and has no opacity and filters; if yes, then discard objects below it and render only from this object up. However, to be of any use, this method must be used with our current buffered redraw, where the probability of an object to cover the entire strip buffer is significant. With the Illustrator method, this optimization would only work if some object covers the entire screen, which is much less probable. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Setting kerning for all the characters
by David Marín Carreño 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

Hello all. Currently, while using keyboard shortcuts for setting the kerning of characters, I have realized that this setting is stablished in a character-by-character pattern. I have seen that, in the resulting SVG file, the kerning is set using the attribute "dx" for the tag "tspan", specified for each character in the string. Can I change the "default" kerning between all the characters of a text or text block with a single action, or with a single tag or attribute in the file? Thanks a lot. David Marín Carreño

Cairo rendering proposal
by Krzysztof Kosiński 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

Hello Here's my Cairo rendering proposal. I made it public so that all people can comment. http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_proposal/show/google/gsoc2010/tween… I also have some doubts whether cairo-gl surfaces can be created on all platforms. It looks like only EGL and GLX is supported. An additional problem is that GtkGLExt, which I'll need to use to create cairo-gl surfaces for onscreen drawing, doesn't work on OSX. However, there are Quartz surfaces in Cairo, which we might be able to use in the Aqua port. Regards, Krzysztof

Hi, There still seems to be Print Colors view mode. Have we actually reached final agreement if we a) need it and b) want it where it is now? Same about the dialog it comes along. Alexandre
