Hi Axel, David and others, There is no issue or problem as far as translations are concerned. We already have the translations done for all Indic languages and these are also attached in the Bugs (https://bugs.launchpad.net/~cpdhutadmal ). If this can be taken ahead, Indic language users will be very happy. Regards,Chandrakant Dhutadmal.Pune, India.

Problems in rendering LaTeX in Windows 7
by Yuxiang Wang 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

Dear all, I find my Inkscape 0.91 for Windows 7 64-bit has problems in rendering LaTeX. What I did was: 1) Extensions - Render - LaTeX 2) Enter "test" in LaTeX input 3) Click "Apply". Then, a cmd.exe window will pop out and just hang there. If I close this window, I get: Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. ^Cinvalid LaTeX input: test temporary files were left in: c:\users\admini~1\appdata\local\temp\inkscape-zxdypk Could anyone please help? Thanks! Shawn -- Yuxiang "Shawn" Wang Gerling Haptics Lab University of Virginia yw5aj@...3259... +1 (434) 284-0836 https://sites.google.com/a/virginia.edu/yw5aj/

Fwd: Re: [Inkscape-docs] Website Down

Hi Martin, despite all this mess, I wish you a happy Sysadmin Day :) Thanks for keeping us informed and dealing with the flood of bug reports! > We do have content backups (cms etc) which we do each night, so if > you've written something recently and would like content from the backup > let me know. - Yes. There are a few things: I had just changed all those Windows download links to the non-sf addresses (which seems a bad move now... but I couldn't foresee this... - we wouldn't have those Windows dl bug reports and unhappy users now if I had not changed them.... :-( - can't kick myself as hard as I'd like to...). When OSUOSL has brought the db back, it would be good if you could restore the Windows downloads pages for all languages, *if* it still seems a good idea to use our own file archive instead of the sf ones until they are in the resources system. Also new: - Animation page (all languages) - A few smaller changes to the FAQ (at least German, English) - To-Do list (all languages) - Contribute page had been updated (at least German, English) Thanks again, Maren We don't keep backups of user registrations or uploaded > gallery items so those in the last two weeks are gone. > > Like last time I swapped the database to a read only sqlite db from > April.

Website Down
by Martin Owens 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

Dear inkscape devels, docs and users, OSUOUL had a major database error (they accidentally dropped all their databases from their master database). They're restoring currently from a backup from two weeks ago, so any changes to the website in the last two weeks will need to be recreated. We do have content backups (cms etc) which we do each night, so if you've written something recently and would like content from the backup let me know. We don't keep backups of user registrations or uploaded gallery items so those in the last two weeks are gone. Like last time I swapped the database to a read only sqlite db from April. So at least the website shows base pages, there's still some errors since I really didn't expect database fallback to be a huge part of what we had to deal with but it's something we may want to improve if we think osuosl's database is likely to have problems again in the future. Thanks for your attention. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Inkscape windows installer 0.48.5 still goes to Source Forge downloads page
by C R 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Was recommending a user try the previous version for his needs, but I refuse to send anyone to Sourceforge. Is the legacy windows installer on Inkscape.org somewhere? The installer listed on this page still goes to sourceforge: https://inkscape.org/en/download/windows/ Thanks. -C

Possible bug in rotation toolbar icons
by MichaelGrosberg 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Something I noticed lately: You've got these four icons in the toolbar, two for rotation (CW and CCW), and two for flipping (vertical and horizontal). The way they work is inconsistent if you select several objects: The rotation icons rotate each object separately on its own center. The flip icons flip all objects together along a shared center. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I thought I should at least bring it to your attention. As a user I'd prefer all four icons to work on all objects together, not individually. Cheers, Michael

mirror symetry
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 26 Jul '15

Your designs not symetric? Change it with this branch ready to review by you https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/mirror-symetry-lpe -improvements Is a 3 files diff of 400 lines. You Like it? The original code is from Maximilian Albert, Johan Engelen and Abhishek Sharma but is updated to fusion paths and ability to fix the direction X,Y or free. No video but very useful. If you like it... Maybe you want get crazy...Similar but more complicated is the option "Fusion Paths" in "Rotate Copies" de Maximilian Albert y Johan Engelen. This allow kaleidoscope works without masks, clips or clones. https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/copy-rotate-lpe -improvements Now I have 3 videos: The first is "Fusion Paths" aka Kaleidoscope whith live editing the path in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBQpvfgT4mE The next is a kaleidoscope effect but in a group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfMixSKy3Eo And for the last, Kaleidoscope go to Fusion Paths allowing sections of the effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpI8gRbkTu4 See you!
