removal of "tidy_operator_styled_whitespace"
by Marc Jeanmougin 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hi all, when looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1477723 (Cannot style spaces in text + Styling spaces moves them to next tspan) that a friend mentioned to me*, i found the cause of it in a very old function: tidy_operator_styled_whitespace <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/view/head:/src/tex…> This function is one of several that try to "tidy" text trees, doing the following transformations (or attempts to do so**) : abc def -> abc def abcdef ghi -> abcdef ghi This transformation is exactly what should not be happening in my case (there is imo no reason for not being able to style spaces, especially when doing so changes space width), so *I plan to remove it entirely.* Does someone have any objections? I'm not that familiar with text styling code or with the reasons that prompted this particular set of tidying operators, and it seems that these date back from "revno 1", which explains i'm not as confident with removing it as if it had been introduced a few months ago. Thanks for any advice, -- Mc *He had several lines with different styles, using spaces for indentation, and was unable to put all the spaces in the same style so that lines would be aligned, i guess that's a legitimate example of why people should be able to style spaces ** It also causes the displacement mentioned in the report, but that can probably be cured

While the Learn menu doesn't contain any other specific topics, I'm willing to see where this topic goes. If it's good at reducing the questions about animation then I say we keep it as an exception. Otherwise we should think about a topics section as we perhaps link parts of the manual in (much later! maybe next year) > Next I'll be working on a page for a curated list of Inkscape > extensions ("curated" meaning that I'll attempt determine which versions of > Inkscape each extension works on, which come with Inkscape/which need to be > installed, and including current download and contact info for each, etc.). > Eventually we hope to have them all on Add-ons page > (https://inkscape.org/en/download/addons/) but for now, they will just be > listed in a table, maybe something like the table on the To-Do List page. > If anyone has any comments or suggestions about that, I will welcome > them :-) This is a great start Brynn, and looks like lot of hard work on your part. Thanks a lot for putting together and doing the research on these items. Crafting website content can be quite a bit of research and a tiny bit f writing to do it well and I think you have done it well here. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Fw: 2 new pages for website, another 1 planned

Hi Everyone, I originally mailed this, addressed to both dev and docs list. It went through to docs, but I got a fatal delivery failure for the devel list. I've been getting delivery failures about 50% of all the messages I send to Inkscape lists, over the last 3 days. I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong? Anyway, the original message is below. (cross fingers!) All best, brynn -------------------------------------------------- From: "Brynn" <brynn@...3133...> Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 10:00 AM To: "Inkscape-Docs" <inkscape-docs(a)lists.sourceforge.net>; "Inkscape-Devel" <Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: 2 new pages for website, another 1 planned > Hi Friends, > We have 2 new webpages for the website, should anyone have any > comments or suggestions.

SVG to PDF, dbus errors on Ubuntu inkscape.dev/stable PPA
by Peter Tripp 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

I don't know if this is fixed in trunk, my apologies if it has, but the current stable binary on Ubuntu in the PPA throws an ugly error if you don't have dbus configured. Someone else reported this here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1460797 To reproduce, convert any svg to pdf on the command line: inkscape --file logo.svg --export-pdf logo.pdf Error: Failed to get connection ** (inkscape:10595): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name: assertion 'connection != NULL' failed ** (inkscape:10595): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_call: assertion 'DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed ** (inkscape:10595): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_connection_register_g_object: assertion 'connection != NULL' failed I don't know if this is a missing packaging dependency (requiring dbus) or a configure-time error, but I run Inkscape without X and so don't normally have dbus available. Full steps to reproduce in vagrant: vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64 vagrant ssh sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install inkscape wget https://chartio.com/static/app/images/logo.svg inkscape --file logo.svg --export-pdf logo.pdf Thanks -Peter
