win32 build working again
by Bob Jamison 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

pdf import again: poppler native vs. poppler cairo
by the Adib 24 Jun '12

24 Jun '12

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.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] OCAL Dialog Redesign
by Andrew 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Hi Guys, So I have been doing a lot of work on the Import from OCAL dialog and I have finally finished! I was wondering whether I could get some testing, especially on some different platforms with different internet connections. All you need to do is get my branch using: bzr branch lp:~and471/inkscape/ocal-dialog-improvements And then compile as usual. You will find the dialog in File > Import Clip Art So yeah, basically I want a lot of testing, to iron out any errors that I have missed and also feedback on the stuff I have done. Then once that is all done, I shall propose for merging into trunk. A list of changes is below, as well as a link to screenshots of the new dialog. Thanks! -- Andrew Screenshots: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/OCAL_Dialog_Re-Design == Changes == * UI Redesign (which includes) - Altered the padding and packing of all widgets - Added search entry with clear and search icons - Added OCAL Logo overlay - Put descriptions inline in list - New preview widget that shows extra metadata - New status widget to notify on errors/success etc. - Dialog is now persistent (retains state) - Better messages for the user - Changed title/menuitem to 'Import Clip Art' * Backend stuff (which includes) - Use new GFile API instead of depreciated GNOMEVFS - Use async methods so the UI isn't blocked - Use smaller, thumbnail images in the preview widget (save on bandwidth and increase speed) - Implement cancelling of operations - Put downloaded resources into one directory, from which we can use later - Big cleanup in terms of code

Depixelizing Pixel Art
by Alexandre Prokoudine 10 Jun '11

Hi, FYI: http://www.scribd.com/doc/56137278/Depixelizing-Pixel-Art "We describe a novel algorithm for extracting a resolution-independent vector representation from pixel art images, which enables magnifying the results by an arbitrary amount without image degradation. Our algorithm resolves pixel-scale features in theinput and converts them into regions with smoothly varying shad-ing that are crisply separated by piecewise-smooth contour curves" Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org

Win32 devlibs update req
by Josh Andler 30 May '11

30 May '11

Can someone please update the win32 devlibs to the most recent versions of released libs? Specifically the gtk & glib portions are what would be helpful if possible. If this isn't very doable due to that flickering bug that was experienced, has anyone filed any bugs upstream about it? Cheers, Josh

So I have the problem of neither beeing able to use 0.48.1 (because of the crash) nor 0.47 (because of the building troubles). Can we as users somehow be of any more help to identify the bug?

Textbox with coloured background?
by Drechsel Wolf 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi everybody, I searched lists etc., but didnt find an answer to a quite trivial question: I need a text box with a coloured background. It should surround the text in a adjustable distance; the background should expand when more text is typed into the text box. Sorry to bore you with such a stupid thing - cant belive this "feature" really is for the wishlist? Greetings, Wolf

Have you developed capability to output hairline design for laser vector cutting and cutting wood on CNC wood routing machines? There is a large user base waiting to hear from you. Thanks. -- ashmi

Win32 build broken?
by Nicolas Dufour 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hi, Apparently there's something broken in the current win32 build with the new devlibs r22. Without the devlibs installed (or in a different location), Inkscape returns an error message stating that libgcc_s_slj-1.dll can't be found, and then exists. With the devlibs installed, Inkscape launches as expected. Reproduced with the modevia's file (10216) and a local build (10215). No problem with the trunk revision 10204. Regards. -- Nicolas
