Hi, Registration at Libre Graphics Meeting has been open for quite a while now: http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2010/signup.php If you intend to come, my advice would be to book flight and hotel *now*. Hotel prices seems to be quite high in Brussels, so make sure you really can't or don't want to cluster before you book :) If you intend to give a talk, please submit your proposal here: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2010/Submit_Talk Cheers, Alexandre

icon-names.h
by bulia byak 05 May '10

05 May '10

This file explains itself thus: * This file exists for several reasons: firstly, it contains all the icon names * in Inkscape, so it can serve as a reference to themers. Secondly, using * macros instead of strings avoids typos. Thirdly, we can change names * to conform to external icon sets / specifications without changing any code. Let's look: - Before, all the icon references were also in one place - in verbs.cpp, where they were adjacent to other verb metadata and thus easier to understand. - Before, to add a new verb with an icon, I had to add icon ID in one place. Now I have to add icon ID _and_ the define name. How is this better for typos? - icon-names.h is "code" just as well - at least if you change it, you have to recompile. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Please see (and comment) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/463814. The "Unimount" about screen is a typical case. "Draw Freely" is very well integrated in the drawing and will be very difficult to translate. Translating it will change the text length (or if we want to keep the same length, change to text size) and may not be as nice as the original screen with some translations. Regards, -- Nicolas

py2geom
by unknown＠example.com 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hi all, Although py2geom (python functions of 2geom) is still in development and not fully functional, I'd like to discuss how to include it in Inkscape. Should we include it in our releases, or should users install it by themselves? (note on Windows, py2geom is 16MB large; I do not know why it is so large). Cheers, Johan
