Hi all, I just noticed an "LPE Tool" tab in the preferences window. Shouldn't this be removed? Ciao, Johan

GSOC branch for c++ification of the SP Layer.
by Abhishek Sharma 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

Hello all inkscape developers and users, I am currently developing the project named "C++ifying the SP Layer and XML node privatization". I had been doing the development for the same for about a month now and have created a branch for the corresponding developed code. The code as of now c++ifies sp-item.h/cpp , sp-line.h/cpp, sp-polyline.h/.cpp and marks the beginning of document.h/.cpp . There are some performance increase but they shall become more noticeable when I attack the major parent classes like SPDekstop, SPDocument(SPItem already done, took me 2 weeks). The branch is uploaded here https://code.launchpad.net/~spyzer-abhishek0/+junk/gsoc-cppify I shall be glad to have responses about the work from the developers. I shall soon be beginning the XML node privatization as well where the main job would be to highlight the areas where XML tree should be targeted to begin its purging. Hope this finds you all to your best. Have a nice day!!! -- Abhishek Sharma B-Tech Information Technology Indian Institute of Information Technology(Amethi Campus)

Inkscape 0.48 Plan

Hey All, So the current thought is that we will branch 0.48 from trunk on Monday. Whatever needs to be disabled, will be disabled in the branch, not in trunk. Any objections, comments or concerns? Cheers, Josh

Command bar/Snap bar positions
by Tavmjong Bah 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi, I just deleted my preferences file and restarted the latest bzr version of Inkscape. I see that the command bar (file/print/etc.) and snap bar are both vertical and on the right side. I really don't like this and prefer them the way they were. Is there a way to move them back? There was recently an option at the end of the command bar to select the preferred placement but it seems to have disappeared. I think that unless there is a compelling reason to set the default to have the bars on the right, the default should be as before. I can't think of any other software that has the file/print/etc. icons on the right. In addition, changes like this mean that a lot of documentation screen shots have to be updated so the changes should really be necessary. Thanks, Tav

Hi all! sK1 Team are proud announcing UniConvertor 1.1.5 release. A year of hard work, the masses of improvements and innovations, some multi platform feature - detailed description you can find an excellent review of Alexander Prokoudine: http://www.libregraphicsworld.org/articles.php?article_id=20 UniConvertor 1.1.5 for win32 is prepared as a standalone application bundle with some interesting feature. It includes small script which integrates external UniConvertor into Inkscape 0.47/0.48pre1 installation. So right now Inkscape win32 users can upgrade Inkscape import/export features!
