Hello, I pleased to announce the tarballs representing the 0.48pre1 release of Inkscape. This is one of the final stops on the rapid road to release. Please look at this release to see if there are any show stopper issues for the 0.48 release. == Download == https://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48pre1/ bzr get lp:inkscape -r tag:INKSCAPE_0_48_PRE1 [1] == SHA1 Sums == 8e4eb561ae5fd8bfbc9c7149f3c0ef3115454cb5 inkscape-0.48pre1.tar.bz2 353b2e1dbc12773a0444b97c6bab1fd7dd632c04 inkscape-0.48pre1.tar.gz 5f64dfe8e9c01e600b52f5b3c33b9325a5cd42f7 inkscape-0.48pre1.zip --Ted [1] Is the Bazaar tag useful? I threw it in there because I thought that might be easier for some folks, but I'm not sure. Thoughts?

just curious

A question for C++/gtkmm gurus: Why do we have to have ALL widgets of a dialog declared in an .h file? They aren't usable outside the dialog anyway. In general, while I appreciate many advantages of C++, the way it is used with gtkmm for Inkscape's dialogs is a major annoyance. A lot more typing in a lot more places than when using simple gtk where you can declare, create, and show a widget in a single spot in code. Is there some grand vision behind this that I'm missing? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

New anti aliasing techniques for 2d rendering
by Juan Vuletich 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi Folks, I'm new to this list and community, and I hope this is interesting for you. I am developing a novel way to do anti aliased 2d graphics that breaks away from pixel coverage and super sampling, while being simpler and providing higher quality. Please take a look at http:www.jvuletich.org , especially at the samples. Comments welcome. Cheers, Juan Vuletich

Spray tool shorcut
by Nicolas Dufour 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi all, All tools are bound to key shortcuts, except one: the spray tool. "s" is already used by the selector, and thus I suggest that we use "a' (airbrush) or, if we want to use a F key, Shift+F3, Shift+F5 or Shift+F8 (the only free Shift+F keys). What do you think? Regards, -- Nicolas

It does work as advertised and it's excellent for testing. I've been able to make inkscape run and do several GUI driven things. Drawbacks: - not so portable (a theme change can render it unusable not to mention switching OS). - when putting inkscape under pressure, careful timing must be used to make sure the simulation performs what you want and when you want. __________________________________________________ ×ñçóéìïðïéåßôå Yahoo!; ÂáñåèÞêáôå ôá åíï÷ëçôéêÜ ìçíýìáôá (spam); Ôï Yahoo!

gnome or X test framework
by Vangelis Katsikaros 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello I would like to ask if there is a gnome or X testing suite that could either in a controlled or monkey/fuzzy way, simulate user actions on a GTK or X in general program. For example I could write a script: when program opens click this menu, click this button, drag that object, press these keyboard keys, roll the mouse wheel etc. I want to use it to reproduce some test cases several times and then compare some profiling data. Of course, the same thing could have been used for bug hunting and regression testing, so since I haven't seen anything like that used around, I am not positive that sth like that exists. I have searched around for this, but couldn't find something (maybe I am using the wrong keywords...) except Squish for KDE (which I haven't used or know its current status).

Normal/preview screen mode!
by Jmx 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

In Indesign you have two screen modes: 1. Normal with objects visible outside the document borders. 2. Preview mode where you only see things inside the document borders. It's often very nice to be able to switch between those modes when designing. Anyone know if something like that is planned in the future? Have a great day =) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Normal-preview-screen-mode%21-tp28733051p28733051.html Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Changing font family, and -inkscape-font-specification
by Chris Lilley 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hello, I came across this in a file that someone sent me. It was generated by Inkscape 0.47 r22583. The font-family property is set on a text element, while child tspan elements have -inkscape-font-specification set to the full font name, but the font-family has not been set even though it has changed. Inkscape should have written font-family: Bitstream Charter. SVG viewers are therefore (correctly) not applying Bitstream Charter, in this example. And the content creator thinks that SVG viewers have 'font issues' as they don't display what was designed. Is this a known bug? SVG snippet: <text xml:space="preserve" style="font-size:40px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-align:center;text-anchor:middle;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans" x="437" y="202" id="text3695"><tspan sodipodi:role="line" id="tspan3697" x="437" y="202" style="font-size:28px;font-weight:bold;-inkscape-font-specification:Bitstream Charter Bold">Semantic</tspan><tspan sodipodi:role="line" x="437" y="237" id="tspan3699" style="font-size:28px;font-weight:bold;-inkscape-font-specification:Bitstream Charter Bold">Web</tspan><tspan sodipodi:role="line" x="437" y="272" id="tspan3701" style="font-size:28px;font-weight:bold;-inkscape-font-specification:Bitstream Charter Bold">Technologies</tspan></text> -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@...157...

SVG Vector Effects in Inkscape
by Ivan Louette 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Was anyone at this Chris Lilley's talk last year at SVG Open ? http://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/vectoreffects/master/SVGVectorEffectsPrimer.h… Should be of course implemented in Inkscape ! It could also render obsolete some BoolOps LPE while beeing perhaps much lighter. ivan
