pdf import again: poppler native vs. poppler cairo
by the Adib
Hello All,
as the problem is still there I would propose following intermediate solution:
currently in the codebasis there is also an pdf import via
poppler-cairo. This one is disabled.
I would like to enable this as an additional pdf import possibility.
We have to decide later when it comes to the release which one to
integrate into the release.
so we can test in parallel the two options.
we have a big tester basis (compared to separate launchpad branch)
we get the possibility to switch to an tested poppler-internals
independent solution (while using poppler)
I there is no big NONO I will go forward and enable this within the next days.
attached the patch that is needed for this (tested on windows, should
work on Linux)
regards,
Adib.

Usability development help for Inkscape available
by Aslak Karsi
Hello
We are a group of five students from Finland, studying at University of
Oulu, Department of Information Processing Science. We are currently working
on a project assignment to offer help in usability development for an open
source software project of our choice.
Past few weeks we have been familiarizing ourselves with Inkscape and its
community and now we would like to offer our work resources for your use.
We have already figured out a few ideas of what we could do for the Inkscape
project:
* Heuristic evaluation
* Usability testing
* Prioritization of usability related bugs on the buglist
To produce as useful results as possible, we would like to hear your ideas.
How do you feel about the tasks suggested? Is there some specific part of
the software we should focus on? Any ideas and feedback at this point would
be greatly appreciated.

win32 console absolute paths not working
by Justin Z
It seems that console (command-line) use of inkscape.exe to export
pdf/ps/etc fails with an absolute path on Win32. This happens with SVG files
from at least Visio and Dia. (I haven't checked other input formats of
flavors of svg.)
I use Cygwin on XP, and I discovered this when using dblatex for converting
DocBook5 XML to PDF (when dblatex sees an SVG file referenced in XML it
calls inkscape using absolute paths).
When I test inkscape alone it clearly succeeds on relative paths but fails
on absolute paths.
(Note that if you want to try this yourself then you have to patch
imagedata.py because it calls inkscape with in/out files mixed up -- see:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3039592&group_id...
)
I've tried your official/stable win32 installer v0.48, earlier v0.46, and
nightly build 0.48+devel r10061 (Feb 21 2011). I also tried setting
pythonpath, and other variables, and have made sure my shell knows which
inkscape/python combo to use.
BTW, although I tried compiling the latest, some of Cygwin's packages are a
bit behind and well, ain't gonna happen:
configure: error: Package requirements (gdkmm-2.4 glibmm-2.4 giomm-2.4
gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.10.0 gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxslt >= 1.0.15
cairo sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.12 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0 libpng >= 1.2 gsl) were
not met:
No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found
No package 'glibmm-2.4' found
No package 'giomm-2.4' found
No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found
So I won't be able to patch source and recompile :(
Thanks for any help, and I'll be glad to test new versions.
PS, please accept my apologies for not wanting to create an account on
launchpad -- I have far too many accounts on systems around the Net, and I
prefer to subscribe/unsubscribe from lists when possible.

localization of colors
by Alexandre Prokoudine
Hi,
I really couldn't say how other translators see this, but running
'intltool-update ru' had a quite a jaw-dropping effect on me (797
fuzzy, 403 untranslated after 99,5% ready for 0.48). May I ask why we
should have colors from .gpl palettes translatable?

Compile error (color-profile.cpp)
by Marcin Floryan
Hi!
Did anyone bump into this compile error - I was just trying do do a
clean compile of latest inkscape from bzr trunk.
color-profile.cpp: In static member function ‘static
std::list<Glib::ustring> Inkscape::ColorProfile::getProfileFiles()’:
color-profile.cpp:758:34: error: ‘sanitizeString’ is not a member of
‘Inkscape::IO’
make[3]: *** [color-profile.o] Error 1
Did I miss something?
Cheers,
Marcin

New: Grayscale display mode
by unknown＠example.com
Hi all,
I just committed a new display mode: grayscale. It is separate from
the other display modes. The grayscale mode is a "Color display mode",
see the menu. When activated, it shows all colors in grayscale
on-canvas. This does not (yet?) influence exporting, or saving. It only
concerns the on-canvas view of the file, like outline display mode.
Right now, there is no preference to change the grayscale calculation.
At the moment it uses: grayscale value = 0.33 * red + 0.59 * green +
0.11 * blue. I found this somewhere on internet, but forgot where, and
it might be wrong/unusual. I intended to add a preference setting for
these values, but have not done so. Let me know if that is desired.
I tried assigning Shift+keypad5 to toggle the color display mode, but it
does not work here on my netbook (Ctrl+keypad5 does work). Perhaps this
is a Windows bug. If someone can suggest another keybinding, or...
thanks!

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Problems with 0.48.1-2
by Uwe Schöler - OSS-Marketplace.com
Hi,
everything went fine and 0.48.1-2 is still on SF.
Sincerely,
UweSch
I bet that the issue is a change to the win32 specific build file. My guess is that if you temporarily remove line 690 from build.xml you should be good to go.
Cheers,
Josh

Hi,
I've some problems building inkscape 0.48.1-2 on windows.
After "bzr revert -r 20" i can build inkscape but while copying the stuff into the inkscape folder i get an error message because of a missing file.
The error message is:
copy : c:\devlibs/bin/libpng14-14.dll to inkscape
Make error line 689: copy : file /c:/devlibs/bin/libpng14-14.dll does not exist
The problem is, that in R20 only the file libpng12-0.dll exists. What can we do now to provide a 0.48.1-2 with old cairo support? Is it only just this one file or are there more necessary files to take care of?
