Great artistic pencil (inspiration stuff)

Dear developers, thanks for creating teh amazing Inkscape! Some days ago i stumbled about a news of the online editor Pixlr - which is a flash app. At all it isn't an amazing Flash app on the first look but the sketch pencils with its shading option on crossing lines or by angle where really amazing! Try out the pencil (not brush) with type Sketchy and Shadeded (Flash 10+ plugin required): http://pixlr.com/editor/ PS: Try loops and crossings to explore the shading feature. Cheers Eckhard.

GtkObject deprecation
by Alex Valavanis 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi All, I reported bug #813212 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/813212> a couple of days ago, which deals with the deprecation of GtkObject in GTK+ 3. I have taken a quick look at fixing the problem, but there a couple of things I'm not confident about. Perhaps someone with more GTK+ experience could help out here? One of the main issues here is that SPCanvasItem (our custom implementation of GnomeCanvas) is a subclass of GtkObject. GNOME Evolution got round this problem in their own copy of GnomeCanvas by changing the parent class to GObject. This introduces a couple of issues that I could use some help with: 1) What do we do about the "::destroy" signal? GObject has no such signal... there is a "::dispose", but is it functionally equivalent? Can we just rename all the gtk_object_destroy calls to g_object_run_dispose, and replace the custom GtkObject.destroy implementations with GObject.dispose? Does the same apply for GtkObjectClass and GObjectClass? 2) What do we do about the GtkObjectFlags enumeration? This is deprecated, and no equivalent is available in GObject. Can we just add a typedef for a "SPCanvasItemFlags" enumeration in sp-canvas-item.h, and add a "guint32 flags" member to SPCanvasItem? Thanks, Alex

Developer/Translator Poll
by Josh Andler 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hey All, Windows devs, what version of Win are you all running regularly? Do many still run XP or 2000? (I know user-wise they're still pretty common, just not sure in our circle) On the Linux side, I'm trying to get a feel for how old the distros everyone uses are... does anyone lag any older than one "LTS" for example? Do people tend to upgrade with every release? For me, I tend to run whatever the next release of Ubuntu is (so I'm using what will be 10.10 for example)... what can I say other than I like bleeding. ;) On the Mac side, what are your upgrade habits? There is relevance to me asking this, but I will hold off on sharing until there's a bit of feedback. Cheers, Josh

revision number in about screen
by gespertino＠...400... 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

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) Gez.

Fixing the rectangle start marker bug
by Simon A. Eugster 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Good morning, I'm talking about this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/420202 I don't know the inkscape source code, but I do know some C/C++ (I'm a fellow developer of http://kdenlive.org and of soon-to-be released slowmoVideo[1]). And I'm totally frustrated every time I see the above bug. For 2 years now. (What would a user do? Inkscape does not work -> use illustrator again.) Please give me a rough estimate of how much time you think it would take me to fix this bug. 2 hours or 2 days? thanks, Simon [1] http://vimeo.com/26346418

<text> & <title> bug
by Oleg 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi, all! I use inkscape version 0.48.1 r (May 14 2011). Yesterday i saw a strange behaviour of a text element. Inkscape show me the text from the file: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <svg width="210mm" height="297mm" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <text x="72mm" y="38mm" dx="0mm 2mm 4mm 2mm 4mm 2mm 2mm 2mm"> <title>some title</title> 12072011 </text> </svg> as "1 20 72011", instead of "12 07 2011". If i delete the title element or comment it, the text element show me as needed. Is this a bug or may be i do anything wrong? Thanks.

2geom/isnan.h
by Jasper van de Gronde 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

When I try to compile trunk I get: Make error line 303: problem compiling: In file included from src/libnr/test-nr. cpp:13:0: ./src/libnr/in-svg-plane-test.h:7:25: fatal error: 2geom/isnan.h: No such file o r directory Any ideas? Seems like a weird kind of file to be missing, so am I using the wrong version of GCC or something? (This is on Windows, using the latest devlibs and trunk.)

Debugging Inkscape on Linux
by Diederik van Lierop 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi all, If try debugging inkscape using gdb on Linux, then you will have noticed that in some cases xserver will become unresponsive. This happens for example if you hit a breakpoint or assert while you were dragging an object. Years ago, one of our developers blogged about a trick to run gdb on a virtual terminal and have inkscape still run within the xserver. I cannot recall however who it was and were it was posted, but it was a cumbersome workaround anyway because you had to operate gdb from a terminal (something I've never been able to master). I've now learned a better way to do this, using gdb from within Elipse which allows you to inspect any variable by using your mouse only. That's a level I can handle ;-) See http://developer.gnome.org/gtk-faq/stable/x461.html for an explanation. I couldn't manage to get the first option working (btw --sync has been deprecated as of recently, see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-February/097248.html). The Xnest option however works flawlessly on my Fedora 15 system. I only wished that I had known about this years ago... PS: xorg-x11-twm and xorg-x11-server-Xnest must be installed Diederik
