PIL distributed inside Inkscape (Windows 64 bit)
by Lorenzo Luengo 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

Hi everyone, While trying to use the PIL library bundled with the python installation inside the Inkscape directory, for developing a new extension, I got the following error: >>> import _imaging Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. Even though the _imaging.pyd file was present, I was unable to load it into the python interpreter. Then I found that even I downloaded the x64 installer for Inkscape, the bundled python version was the 32-bit one. After tweaking the windows registry (to make the installer point to the bundled python directory) I managed to install the x64 version of PIL, still without success because the python interpreter was 32-bit. After forcing the installation of python 2.6 64-bit version over the bundled version, I had to reinstall on this python environment the PIL and lxml libraries, and my plugin finally was able to use PIL. Should this issue be fixed? I mean bundling python 64bit (+libraries) with Inkscape 64bit installer. -- Lorenzo Luengo C. Ingeniero Civil Electrónico Cel: 98270385

Bug? Single Quotes Around Font Names in .91 not Present in .48
by Adrian Bakker 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

As of the .91 release of inkscape, all style definitions have the font-names enclosed in single quotes. This change breaks SVG compatibility with Apache Batik. If it is a necessary change and in compliance with the SVG standard, let me know so I can fix the matter on the Batik end. Anyone with information regarding the change, please contact me at adrianbakker[at]gmail.com Thanks for your time, -- -Adrian B.

Mapping icon theme in Inkscape 0.91 to icons.svg on Linux
by Alexi Helligar 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

I am customizing a monochromatic icon.svg theme I found online. I notice there are several icons in the UI of Inkscape 0.91 which do not seem to get their symbols from the default icons.svg provided with Inkscape. These icons are as follows: - Templates — does not seem to have an icon in the default icons.svg. I created a symbol in my customized icons.svg with the ID: *templates* and *document-templates* in an attempt to fix this problem, but these IDs did not work.; - Swatches — has an icon (ID: *swatches*) but renders an icon from an unknown source; - Erase Existing Paths — has two icons (ID: *draw-eraser*, and *draw-eraser-16px*) but renders an icon from an unknown source; - Group — has an icon (ID: *selection-group*) but renders an icon from an unknown source; - Ungroup — has an icon (ID: *selection-ungroup*) but renders an icon from an unknown source. I am using the *Evolvere* desktop theme on KDE4 (See: https://github.com/franksouza183/EvolvereSuit). Apparently, this icon theme is the source for some of the icons used by Inkscape. Perhaps there are fallback icon sources, but I was not able to locate documentation on how Inkscape manages fallback icons. It seems like Inkscape should first locate icons in icons.svg before attempting fallback. What is the source of the other icons used by Inkscape but listed in icons.svg? Is there a reason why "Templates" does not have an icon in icons.svg. What is the best way to resolve these discrepancies? I looked in the application folders for Inkscape and online for the file(s) or table that maps symbol IDs in icons.svg to the elements in the GUI but was not able to find any information. I have attached the tweaked icons.svg file that I am currently using along with some screen shots . Your help would on this is appreciated.

Hi, I've set up my donation of $1 to Inkscape through Gratipay. Somebody who owns official Twitter account can setup a cash-out to Inkscape bank - that may help gather more funds for upcoming HackFest https://gratipay.com/on/twitter/inkscape/ It then may be possible to add a link to that to https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/donate/ I am learning Inkscape to do SVG art that can then be animated with D3.js to make something like these stats https://gratipay.com/ProjectTox/receiving/ Please, CC. -- anatoly t.
