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.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] OCAL Dialog Redesign
by Andrew
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!

== 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

libgdl again: opinions please!
by Alex Valavanis
Hi all,
To follow up our recent discussions about building against an external
copy of libgdl (https://launchpad.net/bugs/792115)...
I have played with the code, and here is a summary of my findings:
The Inkscape fork of GDL is branched from gdl-0.7.7, which was
released a loooong time ago. There have been very substantial
upstream changes/bug-fixes since then. In particular, our version
uses lots of deprecated/obsolete GTK calls, meaning that Inkscape will
fail to build against GTK 3. We therefore need to fix this issue
fairly quickly.
Our fork of GDL introduces a couple of new features. Here are the
main ones I can see:
* Focus switching between docked dialogs, with tab/arrow-key bindings
* Ability to create a docked dialog using a pixbuf icon.
I have forwarded a patch upstream to GDL
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652248) asking if they
would be able to merge any of our changes. The upstream developer was
very supportive and helpful, and had a few queries. However, I'm not
an expert on GDL/GTK and I'm not in the best position to comment.
I see three options for fixing the problem:
1) Build against external GDL right away --- This should be easy to
do, but we'd lose our changes for a while. However, I'm not sure any
of the changes represent essential Inkscape design features and we'd
be able to reimplement them when they appear in the upstream API.
2) Merge our changes into upstream GDL 2.30 and copy this into the
Inkscape code --- This will take a bit of fiddling around, and it
still relies upon us working with forked code. I have managed to make
a branch of inkscape with gdl-2.3.0+changes that compiles and runs,
but it is buggy (no colour switching and some graphics glitches).
Unfortunately, my GTK knowledge is not good enough for me to do this
by myself. If anyone is able & willing to help, I can push the new
branch.
3) Don't fix it yet! --- Wait until upstream have implemented all the
changes (in GDL >=3.1.1) and then switch over. However, we have no
guarantee of how long this will take, and we will be unable to support
GDK+ 3 builds until we switch!
Please let me know what you think!

revision number in about screen
by gespertino＠...400...
Hi
I'm using devel versions from PPA for trunk and I noticed that the
about screen doesn't show the revision number (it just shows
"0.48+devel r").
It showed the revision number in previous versions, so I assume
something broke there (I can't tell when, but at least in the last two
trunk builds from PPA)

bug in changing gradient color
by SorinN
Hi all,
I just "tested" this bug with few inkscape-trunk revisions (Win32 and
Natty). It is present for any inkscape-trunk versions bigger that
10349 (I didn't check earlier versions).
now I use 10359 and the bug is still present.
Steps to reproduce :
Open a blank file - Draw a rectangle - Assign a color - Make a
gradient using the gradient tool OR using Fill tab option - Edit the
gradient, chose the color node then try to change colorspace to
another one (CMYK, RGB, etc). - Bang.
I can reproduce this bug in Windows 7 too with the revision 10350.

clang build error
by Campbell Barton
Hi, I was trying to compile inkscape with clang, and for many reasons
this failed, however one looks like it should probably be fixed in the
code.
src/ui/widget/registered-widget.h
operator const Gtk::Widget () { return dynamic_cast<Gtk::Widget*>(this); }
Should either be:
operator const Gtk::Widget () { return *dynamic_cast<Gtk::Widget*>(this); }
Or:
operator const Gtk::Widget () { return dynamic_cast<Gtk::Widget>(this); }
