BUG #1060837
by Arshdeep Singh 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Related to bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1060837 How to re-create the scenario being talked about in the bug report. All I get their is A(Alpha) value for my inkscape. The bug mentions the word 'ink'. I am guessing it refers to matching the printed colours and the colors on your monitor, as its a matter under the CMS (Color Management System). As an artist, I haven't worked on very high profile projects such that minor color chnages would make a huge impact so I am totally oblivious to the whole CMS thing. -- demicoder

docks and toolbars redesign proposal

Hi, Someone posted this on deviantART and then on our G+ page (in comments): http://bassultra.deviantart.com/art/Inkscape-Redesign-345519518 Personally, I don't like the split Fill'n'Stroke dialog much, but bringing dialogs' buttons closer to the docks area makes sense to me.

boost incompatibility
by Isobel Knowles 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Dear all, I have discovered that inkscape 0.47pre4 to 0.48.4 are incompatible with boost versions greater than 1.45.0. The most noticeable symptom is that text is not rendered properly. This is because it is heavily clipped. The effect is similar to that described in the (dismissed) bug 875469. To demonstrate this bug, compile inkscape with boost 1.46.0 or above and run it. Pick the text tool, click anywhere on the canvas and start to enter some text. Only the bottom couple of rows of pixels of each character are displayed. If you convert this text to a path it displays properly. Another way to demonstrate the bug is to take some text and put it on a curved path. As you modify the nodes of the path it is possible to see the text rendered inside a staircase-like set of clip rectangles. This problem affects inkview as well as inkscape. I am compiling with gcc 4.4.7 and configuring it like so: CC="gcc" CXX="c++" CFLAGS="-O3 -fstack-protector-all -march=i486" \ CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fstack-protector-all -march=i486" \ LDFLAGS="-fstack-protector-all" ./configure I have tried different versions of all the dependencies of inkscape, including C compiler, libraries and kernel, and the bug is independent of everything but the version of boost. At this stage I have not tried compiling with a lower optimisation level, so it is possible this bug only comes out of the woodwork with -O3. Equally, it is possible this bug only appears on 32-bit platforms. Yours, Is.

PR for shortcuts
by Alexandre Prokoudine 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi, Since 0.49 is shaping up so well with regards to polishing, I'd like to mention yet another thing. A while ago I discovered that several of our long-time users who have been with us since forever didn't even know that we have one-key shortcuts for tools. I mean, for real. People who do real design with Inkscape and are mostly happy with it were quietly complaining that there were no simpler shortcuts. Imagine my surprise :) Since 0.49 now shows F* based shortcuts, how difficult would it be to patch it to show alternative shortcuts as well, after a "," character? Or would it be too confusing? P.S. I've seen this complaint many times before: people were asking if there was a way to configure Inkscape to use some one-key shortcuts for tools. Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org
