Lock guides branch
by Jabier Arraiza 02 Dec '15

Hi to all. I just propose to merge the lock guides branch. ¿Any one want review it? https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/lock_guides This allow to lock a guide in the guide dialog. This is part of a future work using gides. In my mind I want to link optionaly a guide to a item or maybe more than one. If this guide is linked, only show if the element/s is selected. Any one think is a bad idea because it add a extra level of complexity on guide usage to the benefits it have? Anyway is not a blocking thing to my proyect but it benefits a lot of it. If any one is interested in the secret proyect, is a LPE applied to groups, this lpe lock for the crossing guides and slice the content of the group into sliced subgroups. Cheers, Jabier.

batch able to ungroup PDF objects and change colors from RGB into CMYK with lookuptable
by Maxence MELIN 02 Dec '15

Hi ! I am a beginner with Inkscape but I know it's very powerful ! I have a RGB PDF file with grouped objects and I want to develop a script that : - is able to process several PDF files (e.g. all PDF in a folder) - ungroup the objects of each PDF file - convert RGB PDF to CMYK PDF using a txt lookup table where I can set myself the values (I don't use a lot of colors but I have to get precise CMYK values) I have no idea how to begin such a script, somebody can help to get me started ? Thanks ! Max

Feature proposal to src/extension/internal/grid.cpp
by Timo Korthals 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Dear devs, because of the lack of the feature, that gids can be created just in px-units, I patched (from my pov) a nice feature into "src/extension/internal/grid.cpp". My question regarding this feature on stackexchange [1] has some pretty high interest. You'll find the patch attached to this e-mail and a brief documentation to this feature here [2]. Would be nice to see something like this (or similar) in the near feature. Greetings, Timo [1] http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/21611/drawing-grid-in-inks… [2] http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/63799/15720 -- Timo Korthals, M.Sc.
