Quick fix: extend object alignment hotkeys to work for nodes
by C R 12 Mar '16

12 Mar '16

Ctrl-Alt-T - Align selected nodes Horizontal to eachother. Ctrl-Alt-H - Align selected nodes Vertical to eachother. Quickie, but would really help in making diagrams and quick edits within a shape. -C

Development Project Management System
by Aseem Mittal 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Hello everyone, I am Aseem Mittal. I am from India. I have done BTech in Computer Science Engineering and ready to pursue my graduate studies. After going through the idea pages, I find myself falling for Development Project Management System. I have tried to install and start the website by following the steps from site: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Website_Development After executing the command './utils/init', python packages got installed but then it got aborted with error 'ImportError: No module named debug_toolbar_line_profiler' I am trying to find the solution but so far nothing. Can someone help me with this and also guide me for further process? -- Aseem Mittal https://aseemmittal.wordpress.com

"object to marker" doesn't work for middle-line marker.
by C R 11 Mar '16

It seems to work okay for the ends, but when you try to pick it as the middle marker, it doesn't work (shows as selected in the drop-down, but nothing happens). Any ideas? -C

Spin button bug
by C R 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Has anyone else noticed there's something pretty seriously wrong with the spin buttons in Inkscape? If you click more than a few times on either the up or down arrow the value goes nuts, and keeps going nuts until you switch to a different tool. Here's a short video capture of the issue: http://www.opendesignstudio.org/inkscape/Inkscape_spin_button_error.mp4 Any ideas? This bug doesn't seem to affect any other programs (I tried Scribus, and GIMP, and both do not feature this bug). I'm running Inkscape 0.91+devel r (Mar 8 2016). This bug is also present in 0.91 stable. -C

Style Sheet Editor
by jelle 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello Tav, Looks very promising and it certainly is a welcome addition to the functionality in any case. On the current design I would like to note that instead of using plus for enabling a style on an object, I would think using a check box with a V would be more logical. I would not use the same symbol twice for different actions as the plus is also used in another context. You show two windows in the concept. Could you just drag and drop a style on an object to give it a class? That would be a welcome addition for the touchscreen user and mouse addicts like me. And vice versa to create a new style from the object. Less mindcraft is often higher productivity. Additional concepts... Would it be an idea to create a style sheet editor that opens a text editor on the right panel that shows the style of the selected object in the external style sheet? Similar to the XML editor, that will read the inline style setting. Another thing that would be helpful is to be able to strip all inline styles and dump them into an external style sheet, possibly removing all the doubles and as such cleaning up the mess. After that, you could create a switch to add incremental style changes either inline or external as to enable people to experiment with it, with a fall back option or several undo levels. I can imagine that people would like to create some basic style sheet, which can be diverted from using inline styles for greater control. Once they are happy with the result they may want to build a variant style sheet or create an additional one so they have a basic style and can add overriding settings in an additional one as you often wouldn't like everything to reside in a single whopper stylesheet. It would avoid users to have to still manually cut the style sheets into little bit using a text editor or the like. Added benefit is the ability to exchange style sheets that way amongst users and the possibility of eventually implementing web animation through them. SMIL is quite dead, but web animation seems to have a better future being supported by all browser implementors of importance, so eventually one hopeful might expect some brave effort on that topic, either from within Inkscape or from the outside with a third party tool that plays well with Inkscape with some level of integration. Pigs can fly if given enough thrust ;-) Possible you might want to colour code what style is being used so one can easily see if there are different styles applied to objects. The colour could be generated from the classname of the style. Not sure how hat might work out with a bunch of stylesheets though, but I would expect that making selectable and displayable columns with coloured boxes at the end of the columns displaying information could be a handy solution to that. It would allow for something similar as the layers widget so you can easily work in a certain stylesheet. Come to think of it, that might be a handy way to work with grouped objects as well in an object manager as well. Colour code them by ID, so one could easily identify them in a list of objects, select a group to work in and block other objects from being selected. Ehm,.. let's stop at that for the moment. Cheers, Jelle

Style Sheet Support
by Kamalpreet Grewal 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Currently I am considering working on the style sheet support. I grabbed the code and compiled it on my system with Ubuntu 14.04. The version I have is Inkscape 0.91+devel r as specified. Before getting into code, I tried creating a style sheet. However I confronted a crash as reported on [1]. I have also referred [2] for getting an insight. It would be great if I get some guidance on how to add support for style sheets.

That's true, I've made a draft stab at some actual icons here: https://inkscape.org/en/~doctormo/%E2%98%85paint-order-icons If anyone wants to have a crack at it, these ones are based on the strait line and the order of the items is the order they paint.

The idea to use item order to visualize paint order is nice, but it's too hard to figure out what stroke and fill are when items are moving around (especially given the small size), so the intended effect is not achieved and it actually gets harder to figure out the paint order.
