Useful functions
by Josh Andler 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Hey All, I stumbled across some videos a while back relating to some plugins for Illustrator that provide some pretty cool functionality and wanted to share, I just don't believe I did on the list (hopefully I'm not repeating). Do we have an appropriate page in the wiki for me to add them or does anyone think it would be more appropriate to just add a number of RFEs to the tracker? This first one shows some pretty useful color functionality you normally see associated with raster apps but is stuff that would rock to have for use in the vector space. Yes we have extensions that provide some of the functions, but they're destructive effects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRthJrsYepg This live half-toning stuff is definitely sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLOVqTE9Zy8 When we finally get to a point where we can produce proper PDFs for print, this would be some fantastic functionality to have (especially with the costs of home printing supplies). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnGgtQAXf8U Just thought I'd share... Cheers, Josh

Next release check-in...

Hey all, Anything in particular people are looking to add or refactor which they haven't discussed yet? Development has greatly slowed and I am curious if it's related to lack of interest, time, or people not wanting to hold up a possible release by adding new features. Note, a release is unfeasible at this time anyway, so we're really still game for new code currently. Related to this, Tavmjong's gradient mesh branch is pretty nice (and still has bugs) atm... if anyone is interested in helping out with it, please let him know. It would be awesome if we could see that work stabilized and available in the next release. Just checking in... Cheers, Josh

by GiveLifeCS 05 Dec '11

Hi, I am Gabriel Vano the creator of Givelife color system GiveLife Color System put online the second product , the Color / System Palette in RGB ,more biggest of the world with 5101 shades of Color. I belive that this tool is very important and beneficial to help the Designers in General , saving time and to forget about having to create your own Color Palette , because with this Color Palette the Designers can find the most desirable shades of Color. This Color System has been tested by Designers demanding and the conclusion of all them is very clear ,it is a key tool of color. Currently this Color Palette is by default in the Operative System "Asturix" that the new version Asturix 4(Distribution of Linux), will be online in a week more or less for this reason I send an e-mail to all the developers of Inkscape to study the possibility to put it, by default in Inkscape. the type of the RGB is "SRGB". if you visit the website you can download the Color palette for Inkscape I am sure that this tool will be very ussefull for all the users of Inkscape. also the type of the licence is creative commons "CC" BY-NC-ND. I wait for your comments greetings Gabriel Vano http://www.givelifecolorsystem.com http://givelifecolorsystem2.blogspot.com/

Bug report
by Stefano Galli 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Dear All, I'm a very satisfied user of Inkscape. I use MAC OS and passing from snow leopard to Lion OS I've found a problem of some file visualization. It happens that exported files in Pdf from Inkscape, if I use some gradient, this gradient is not well displayed on Anteprima software on Mac running Lion, while it is well displayed in Snow Leopard OS. Also the pdf files are well displayed on Acrobat Reader in both Snow Leopard and Lion. I've already reported the bug to the MAC people but I would like also to tell this to you if you have any solution also to suggest to the MAC people. Of course I can send every kind of example, screenshots and files also. I hope to get a reply. Thank you. Best Regards, -- Stefano Galli
