Text improvements
by Jabier Arraiza 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi all. Today I need to draw something with text and I want to sugest improvements to 0.92 if posibol. 1.- Remove set default text format definition whith only click. Is hard to use well, give usualy bad results and most important text default styling is changed magicaly to the final user. I know it and be brong on tenxt editing several times in the same doc. 2.- Line height changes not work correctly if there is selected text, is hard to change baseline once the text is entered, finaly I become coping the text and pasting into a new text item 3.- If you change the size of a text, baseline is not updated and also become to "bug" 2 Sorry for my english, Jabier.

Ubuntu 14.04 lts cmake build blows up
by mathog 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

This may be related to my other thread about "bzr update", where it complained about Conflict: can't delete src/libgdl because it is not empty. Not deleting. Trying a linux cmake because the autogen.sh was removed by the last bzr update, and the existing make does not work with the update code base. #top of inkscape tree mkdir build cd build cmake .. # keep adding libraries and such until the cmake finishes without an error make 2>&1 | tee build_2016_11_04.log which trundles along nicely until it blows up here: [ 57%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/ui/widget/dock-item.cpp.o [ 57%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/ui/widget/dock.cpp.o In file included from /usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gobject.h:24:0, from /usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gbinding.h:29, from /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib-object.h:23, from /usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/class.h:25, from /usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/objectbase.h:23, from /usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/object.h:29, from /usr/include/pangomm-1.4/pangomm/context.h:32, from /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm/widget.h:32, from /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm/container.h:29, from /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm/box.h:28, from /usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk/src/ui/widget/dock.h:15, from /usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk/src/ui/widget/dock.cpp:13: /usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk/src/ui/widget/dock.cpp: In constructor ‘Inkscape::UI::Widget::Dock::Dock(Gtk::Orientation)’: /usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk/src/ui/widget/dock.cpp:55:70: error: cannot convert ‘GdlDock* {aka _GdlDock*}’ to ‘GObject* {aka _GObject*}’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘GtkWidget* gdl_dock_bar_new(GObject*)’ _gdl_dock_bar(GDL_DOCK_BAR(gdl_dock_bar_new(GDL_DOCK(_gdl_dock)))), ^ /usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk/src/ui/widget/dock.cpp:64:5: warning: ‘void gdl_dock_bar_set_orientation(GdlDockBar*, GtkOrientation)’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libgdl-3.0/gdl/gdl-dock-bar.h:86): Use gtk_orientable_set_orientation instead [-Wdeprecated-declarations] gdl_dock_bar_set_orientation(_gdl_dock_bar, ^ /usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk/src/ui/widget/dock.cpp:65:74: warning: ‘void gdl_dock_bar_set_orientation(GdlDockBar*, GtkOrientation)’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libgdl-3.0/gdl/gdl-dock-bar.h:86): Use gtk_orientable_set_orientation instead [-Wdeprecated-declarations] static_cast<GtkOrientation>(orientation)); ^ make[2]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/ui/widget/dock.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 ################## Possibly relevant information: % dpkg --list | grep -i gdl ii gir1.2-gdl-3 3.8.1-2ubuntu1 i386 GObject introspection data for the GDL library ii libgdl-3-5:i386 3.8.1-2ubuntu1 i386 GNOME DevTool libraries ii libgdl-3-common 3.8.1-2ubuntu1 all GNOME DevTool libraries - common files ii libgdl-3-dev 3.8.1-2ubuntu1 i386 GNOME DevTool libraries - development files % g++ --version g++-4.8.real (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3) 4.8.4 Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176...

The Inkscape Project

Dear all, We use so many different services for inkscape, in the meeting we wanted to explore the possible services and what we might like to use or could use instead in the future. This editable spreadsheet (I trust you all) can be modified to include any notes, ideas and to increase the list of places where the inkscape project has a presence. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kilt4tm1KDCNysd5oy5M5wJnCCS45fq a7VIoEyBl090/edit?usp=sharing Please help fill in any details that you know of.

Building 0.92 with cmake following instructions in README fails on LM18
by Maren Hachmann 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi everyone, I've been trying to build 0.92 (first the pre2 package from the website, now the version directly from the repo (~inkscape.dev-inkscape-0.92.x-r15145.tgz). I've followed the instructions for cmake in the README file ( mkdir build cd build cmake .. make make install) and the result was (translated from German): [ 79%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/version.cpp.o make[2]: *** no rule to create target „src/inkscape-version.cpp“, needed by „src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/inkscape-version.cpp.o“. End. CMakeFiles/Makefile2:597: the rule for target „src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/all“ failed make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/all] Fehler 2 Makefile:127: the rule for target „all“ failed make: *** [all] Error 2 Same result both on an upgraded Linux Mint and on a fresh LM18 install in a VM. Are the instructions misleading, is something missing/broken on my system, or is something wrong with the 'settings' for cmake? Or something else? It works with the autotools option, but (at least for 0.92pre), the compiled version contains a lot of stuff (LPEs, mesh - think that was removed recently) that I thought wouldn't be in 0.92 yet. (I'm on Linux Mint 18, Ubuntu 16.04 base) Can anyone help? Regards, Maren

Merge Proposal: Unlink clones recursively
by Alexander Brock 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, I added "Edit->Clone->Unlink Clones recursively": It recurses into groups and unlinks every clone it finds, including clones used as clipping paths. This is the merge proposal: https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape+alexander/inkscape/clones/+merge/309506 Any comments? Best Regards, Alexander Brock
