New color system/swatch for Inkscape
by Lucas Vieites 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hi, I was approached the other day by Gabriel Vano (Cc'd in this message) from Give Life Color System (http://www.givelifecolorsystem.com/FreeColors.php) to help him contact someone on the Gimp dev list to ask if they would be interested in adding this new color system to their software. As Inkscape is using the same type of file for swatches I thought I'd give it a try, and it worked fine as you can at the bottom of this screenshot ( http://www.codexion.com/files/inkscape_givelifepalette.png). Do you think it might be interesting to add this swatch by default in future versions of Inkscape? Gabriel is willing to discuss copyright issues (assigning part of the rights to Inkscape or whatever). Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites lucas@...1852... http://blog.codexion.com

gtksourceviewmm
by Fernando Lucchesi 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi, I'm working on the javascript interface[1], and my mentor gave the idea of implementing syntax highlighting. In order to do that, I was thinking of using gtksourceviewmm. Is it possible(desirable) to add this lib to Inkscape? Should I keep the version without the lib, and then use some ifdefs and a "./configure" flag to choose between the two? Also, I've tried including the lib, but I couldn't figure out where to add it in autotools. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/795849 -- Fernando Lucchesi

License of Inkscape Tango icons?
by Carsten Fuchs 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Dear Inkscape developers, my name is Carsten Fuchs and I'm the main developer of the Cafu game and graphics engine, http://www.cafu.de We're currently in the process of updating the user interfaces of our graphical editor applications, i.e. the Map Editor, GUI Editor and Model Editor. So far, our new icon sets are based on own artwork and icons from the GNOME Icon Theme 3.0, which is licensed both under the LGPL v3 as well as under CC BY-SA 3.0. After a lot of work, we're still lacking about half a dozen icons, and found that the Inkscape Tango icons (tango_icons.svg) would not only be a perfect fit, but are also very nice and wonderful! Do we understand right that the Inkscape icons are released under the same license as the Inkscape source code, the GPL v2? If so, would it be possible to release them under, for example, the CC BY-SA 3.0 as well? I'm asking this mainly because we're offering the Cafu engine both under the GPL v3 as well as under custom commercial license. At the same time, it generally seems widely unclear how the software-oriented GPL applies to artwork: e.g. if we exported about six icons from tango_icons.svg to PNG image files, and shipped them with our apps (both source code and binary editions) as separate files, i.e. not embedded in any executable or other file, and load them at runtime, would that still require us to omit them from our commercially-licensed packages? I'd be very grateful for your consideration and advice. Many thanks and best regards, Carsten -- Cafu - the open-source Game and Graphics Engine for multiplayer, cross-platform, real-time 3D Action Learn more at http://www.cafu.de

Verbs+SPAction versus GtkAction
by Gellule Xg 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

I'm contemplating a reimplementation of OSX menu integration using external tools that rely on Gtk::UIManager and GtkAction. This seems orthogonal to the current Verbs+SPAction custom framework used by Inkscape. I would like to start with a simple question: What is the benefit of Verbs versus GtkAction? In the Wiki there is this idea of being able to attach a Verb to a View. -Julien/Gellule

bug in changing gradient color
by SorinN 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

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. -- Nemes Ioan Sorin

clang build error
by Campbell Barton 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

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); } -- - Campbell
