Hi Guys, I have been working on a new user-interface for Inkscape, you can find the design in the link below. I'm a fan of open source softwares and been using them for over 5 years now and wanted to give back to the open source community. Let me know what you guys think. :) http://artntechasone.com/forInkscapeTeam.html Thanks Amarneethi

Hi Todor. The work on mass tool in eraser is previously done, because the eraser tool get code from caligraphic tool, so I only show mass widget. Anybody is thinking in another widget to show to eraser tool from caligraphic tool? About your concrete question: Is not as easy implement it, maybe the best option to it is add a option to caligraphic tool to only do one direction line instead the current shape, for example with width = 0. But is only a idea, not sure about, because you loose another pencil tool features :( Cheers, Jabier > --------- Mensaje reenviado -------- > De: Todor Imreorov <blurymind@...400...> > Para: jabier.arraiza@...2893... > Cc: inkscape-devel <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, inkscape- > user <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> > Asunto: Re: [Inkscape-devel] New video three features. > Fecha: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 13:45:44 +0000 > > > Hi Jabier, > > I noticed that there is now a "Mass" value in the eraser tool. > > Would > > it be > > possible to also add it to the PENCIL tool?

buildtool update
by Eduard Braun 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi all, I just pushed a small fix for buildtool which solves some glitches with matching regular expressions (see [1] for details). It shouldn't cause any problems, just make sure to run g++ buildtool.cpp -o btool after your next pull to re-compile. Best Regards, Eduard [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1550776

While I'm waiting for Inkscape to redraw the screen....
by C R 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Can we disable box-drag zoom while the "zoom out" function is active? I'm used to shift-clicking to zoom out when I don't have a mousewheel, and if Inkscape detects even the slightest movement while the mouse is pressed, it draws a teeny tiny box and tries to zoom in to it. If the user is zooming out this behaviour should be dissabled, because it's a zoom-in function. Alternatively, or additionally: When it zooms into such a small area, Inkscape takes an absolute age to re-draw gradients and my high-res graphics. It might be best to expand the minimum area that the box-zoom can zoom into. Say 10x10 screen px would be reasonable I think. Thoughts? Ah, there it goes. :) I can work again, yay! :D - C

how to update a git repository?
by alvinpenner 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

I had previously downloaded the git lib2geom repository using the command: git clone git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom Now I saw that there was a recent commit yesterday, so I decided to update. I ran the command : git pull git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom and got the response: >From git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom * branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD Already up-to-date. However, I know that my copy is not uptodate, despite what the message says. Any ideas as to how to do a pull? Also, is there any way of knowing which rev my local repository is currently on? Something equivalent to 'bzr revno' or 'bzr version-info'? I have tried 'git log', but unfortunately it generates an infinite loop from which I cannot escape, so it is not very helpful. I have tried about a dozen varieties of the command 'git log <revision range>' but none of them work. The git help files, unfortunately, are no help because they do not contain any working examples. Also, will I need to implement a SSH key to make changes? I previously did this for launchpad on Windows using Pageant and Putty, but am not sure how to apply that procedure to git, and also I lost my notes from that trial, which was in 2009. any help would be appreciated. tia, Alvin -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/how-to-update-a-git-repository-tp4975817.h… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hey, I'm Manipal Singh junior year student from IIIT hyderabad and I want to contribute to Inkscape gsoc 2016 project, some of them are very interesting. I would like to seek some more information regarding the project "Development Project Management System" that seems pretty interesting to me as I have good knowledge of C++, CSS, Python and Django. Do we just need to create web app for ideas of development projects and enhance existing Project UI? Also I would like to know about the existing project. Thanks, Manipal Singh

Access to inkscape wiki
by Raphaël Bournhonesque 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Hello, I wish to contribute to Inkscape, by improving the documentation/comments, and hopefully the code base. I found some typos in http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Developer_manual, but it seems that writting access must be asked to the devel mailing list first. Is this the right place to ask ? Best, Raphaël

Code changes related to a scale factor of 1 + 1/15???
by mathog 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi all, Does anybody recall a recent change that would have introduced a scale factor of 1.066667 (1 + 1/15), on Windows only? In a simple test case (one black rectangle) read in from an EMF file, for the same trunk revision, among other issues, I am seeing all coordinates and widths scaled up by that amount on windows relative to linux. Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech
