--query-all and hidden objects
by Ogla Sungutay
Hi guys,
When a group's children are all hidden (style="display:none"), --query-all
command line parameter does not list
this group's geometry. All of its children are listed. But not the parent.
Another observation is that if one of the children is visible, then the
parent's geometry is listed.
Is there a specific reason for this feature? Or is it a bug?
Thanks!

Tango Pasodoble Icons updated for Inkscape 0.48.1
by jEsuSdA 8)
Hello again!
This evening I have been working hard to update the Tango Pasodoble icon
theme for Inkscape.
The original theme have no icons for the new tools and options and some
icons has changed his name.
Yo could see a screenshot of the result here:
http://www.jesusda.com/files/inkscape-tango-theme/tango_icons_new_0.48.1_...
You could download the icons.svg file here
http://www.jesusda.com/files/inkscape-tango-theme/tango_icons_new_0.48.1_...
This SVG file could have some bugs, cause it is *SO PAINFUL* to mantain
because nobody has updated the icon names and nobody adds the new icons
to this file.
In the future I would appreciate so much you notify me (sending an
e-mail to the mailing list, for example) any change in the icons.svg
main file (change of names, new icons, etc.) because it is very
difficult to compare icons.svg and tango.svg icon by icon, name by name.
The easy way to use the Tango Pasodoble Icons is downloading this file:
http://www.jesusda.com/files/inkscape-tango-theme/tango_icons_new_0.48.1_...
There are two folders: 16 and 24.
You must copy the icons inside the 16 folder and paste then into your
desktop icon theme ACTIONS folder for 16px icons (do the same for 24).
Inkscape will load the icons from your desktop icon theme. ;)
This option is only for Linux users.
I know the icon topic was disscussed time ago, but I think we must do
anithing about this: the default icon theme is not so pretty.
It does not brings users the hi-quality appearance Inkscape has inside.
I know is so difficult to decide and change the icons. I know the tango
pasodoble icon theme could be better, but we has no other options.
It is great that Inkscape could load the icon from our desktop icon
theme, but what abou Mac and Windows users?
It will be a nice idea to allow users select the theme via preferences
or simply use the tango icon theme as a default one.
I hope you like this update and I hope you excuse my poor english. :D
Thank you for made the best ever vector drawing software. ;)
Cheers!

Inkscape currently has no special GUI to edit the distance of the
dynamic (or linked) offset numerically, nor does its handle snap to
grid, guides or other node targets. You can however easily adjust the
numeric offset distance using the XML Editor:
1) select the dynamic offset
2) open 'Edit > XML Editor...'
3) in the list at the right side, select the attribute 'inkscape:radius'
4) edit the value in the entry box at the bottom (in px)
5) click 'Set' (or use the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl'+Enter)

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] outset confusion
by Jasper van de Gronde
I don't think you're missing that much, I'm not 100% sure, but it looks
like a numerical problem somewhere. Specifically, for some reason
Inkscape seems to convert a perfectly straight line segment into a
curved segment when outsetting (even if you explicitly convert to a
straight line segment first, so that there is no chance that it's almost
straight or anything), that seems a bit odd. On my installation (0.48)
it seems like it's mostly just the left tooth(?) at the top, although
similar effects play up when insetting.
Interestingly dynamic offset seems to do better, but it also clearly
gives a different result (it rounds cusp corners). But if that's okay
for you that might be a way out.
In any case, you might want to file a bug report. To do so, please go to:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/
and click on "Report a bug" (it's on the right). In the mean time I've
also added the developers list to the recipients, in case anyone there
knows what to do.

Partial clip-rule implementation
by Andrew Lutomirski
I don't know what the standard way to submit patches is, but I've
attached a patch that implements loading, saving, and computing of the
clip-rule property.
I'm playing with getting it to work in the cairo renderer. It's a bit
of a pain for two reasons. First, the existing fill-rule
implementation for clip paths is not just incorrect (fill-rule
shouldn't affect clip paths) but is also very buggy. Second, I don't
know how to ask cairo to generate a clipping region that is the union
of two paths unless both paths use the nonzero rule. That being said,
I have a gross hack that at least gets multiple nonzero paths or a
single evenodd path right. I'll make it less ugly before I mail it
in.
I understand approximately nothing about the nr renderer (or whatever
the code that I assume renders the editing view is), so I've made no
progress on honoring clip-rule in the edit view.
What should I do from here?
(Note: I'm not really inclined to try to invent a sensible UI for
clip-rule. I mainly want to be able to edit my own figures that need
clip-rule=evenodd.

printing - rendering bitmaps
by Drechsel Wolf
Hello everybody,
I hope folks will apologize me asking for simpe end-user advice:
When calling the "printing" dialog, there is a tab "rendering". There
I can select "vector" or "bitmap" and set the resolution for the
bitmap. As I want to print a self-made map with a scan in the
background, the "bitmap" option seems reasonalble to me. But lowering
the resolution doesnt make any difference, files are as big as they
are when I leave the "rendering" tab set to "vector".
Is that a bug - or is my assumtion wrong, that this tab should have an
influence to the resolution of embedded bitmaps?
(Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, inkscape 0.48 X11)
Thanks and greetings, Wolf

I would definitely recommend this. Although there isn't
much work in the group, some of it is really high quality (several got
daily deviations).
Plus I think that it'd help give the impression to visitors
that the Inkscape user base/community is active.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Update on Diffusion Curves
by Jasper van de Gronde
The code is stand-alone (although the aem stuff has been more or less
coded with Inkscape in mind) and does not accept file based definitions,
the images are hard coded (although relatively easy to alter, I just
didn't get around to writing a parser). For integration with Inkscape
there are still quite a few things missing, like syntax :) Also, I don't
think the method I developed is mature enough to put in Inkscape as is.
In my opinion the quickest route to get this in Inkscape would be to
figure out a syntax+semantics (how to deal with "exterior" boundaries!)
and then write a hybrid solver that uses an analytic solution for
dealing with discontinuities and a grid-based solver for the rest.
Another question is whether diffusion curves are really the "best" way
to go about this. There are some cases where diffusion curves might not
give the most intuitive answer and I am looking at alternatives (and so
are some other people). If you have specific ideas about what a system
like this should support and/or have interesting cases where you feel
diffusion curves do not meet your requirements (or where they perform
surprisingly well), then please speak up.
BTW, if you want to play with diffusion curves, use one of the earlier
programs to edit/view them:
http://artis.imag.fr/Publications/2008/OBWBTS08/
Also, we have some ideas on the wiki, feel free to augment/edit them:
