Coding style: const
by Johan Engelen
Hi all,
Inspired by a blog text, I've spent some time adding "const" in a
number of places. Adding const tends to spiral out of control if it was
not used when code was written, meaning that you will have to add const
in many other places where it should have been when it was first written.
Please be very aggressive in adding "const" to any code you write. It
will help us understand code better and will prevent bugs from creeping in.
If "const" is new to you or you're a bit rusty on the topic, read this:

Thanks a bunch,
Cheers,
Johan

sp-animate.h unreferenced
by Alex Valavanis
Hi All,
sp-animate.h is not used by anything else and hasn't been worked on
since 2006... I'm assuming this is part of an abandoned feature.
Shall we get rid of it?

Status bar files
by Arshdeep Singh
Does anyone know which files handle the status bar notifications ?
I understand it is content-aware. I need to study that mechanism for
something.

Extensions tutorial
by Alex Valavanis
Hi everyone,
I've been asked by a friend to give a talk/tutorial about Inkscape
Extensions scripting for a local Python users meeting.
It's a slightly daunting task for me, given that
(a) I'm way more comfortable with C/C++ than Python
(b) My involvement with the extensions subsystem has been pretty minimal!
I'll happily put something together myself, based on the guidance on
the Wiki, but if anyone already has any additional useful
documentation/slides/tutorial material that they would like to
contribute, that would be very helpful, and might even encourage some
new contributors to the project :)
Thanks!

Inkscape and Mac OSX menu integration
by Valerio Aimale
~suv,
thanks as always for your insightful comments. Sorry for the belated
reply, I've been busy with work.
99 times out of 100, refactoring is best. However, there are exceptions.
Refactoring the menubar machinery in a way that works for all platforms
is a major undertaking. It would be a significant investment of time.
I think it would be nice to be able to provide a 0.48.4 release to the
Mac users out there, who have been left behind for quite some time.
I've come up with a solution that is not a hack, but not even
refactoring. As a matter of fact, Inkscape has already 80 % of the code
needed to work with a unified menubar.
Would you, Victor, or any other willing test this version:
https://rapidshare.com/files/2954353212/Inkscape-0.48.4-10.7%2B-x86_64.dmg
It has a unified MacOSX menu for all windows/document/views. I don't
know, however, what the unified menu does to dynamic menu items. Check
marks are there and they seem to be ok for me.
This version has also a working python installation. The application
menu Quit item is not yet integrated with the app. It will be soon.
~suv, I've seen you comments in the bug reports and will reply, as time
permits.

Feature request, export a svg to a multi resolution icon
by Justin Dearing
Hello,
I created a 512x512 svg image to serve as the "master" logo and icon for
poshrunner. I then use inkscape from the command line to make png
renderings at 256,128,64,48,32, and 16 pixel square resolution, and then
use FreeImage to create a single ICO file that gets embedded into the final
ico. This involves two powershell scripts:
https://github.com/zippy1981/AppDomainPoshRunner/blob/master/art/buildart...
https://github.com/zippy1981/AppDomainPoshRunner/blob/master/art/buildIco...
It would be nice to simplify this process. Could inkscape add multi
resolution ico export support? For the resolution it could be a series of
checkboxes for the accepted resolution (btw as of Vista the ICO format
supports 256x256). For the scriptable command line version the syntax could
look like:
inkscape --export-ico=foo.ico--export-ico-resolutions=16,32,48,64,48,128,256
foo.svg

Can we list the Chocolatey (apt-get for windows) package for InkScape on http://inkscape.org/download/?lang=en
by Justin Dearing
Hey all,
I took over maintenance of the chocolatey (http://chocolatey.org) package
for inkscape. Chocolatey is basically yum/apt-get/fink/etc for windows. I
have a request and two offers. My request is that you list the package on
the download page. My first offer is that if you deem it appropriate I will
make someone on the inkscape core team a co-owner of the package. My second
offer is to integrate the package building into the inkscape windows build
process if you deem that appropiate.
Let me know your thoughts.
Regards,
Justin Dearing

Do we know what's going on?

Grayscale viewmode prefs
by Johan Engelen
Hi all,
I'm lazy... please tell me where to store in preferences.xml the
'user-calibratable' grayscale conversion values for the grayscale view
mode. Something like:
/options/grayscale/r
/options/grayscale/g
/options/grayscale/b
(off-topic: the value itself is a floating point value between 0 and 1
that says how gray that primary color should be shown; 0 = black, 1 = white)
Thanks!
