Arcs in the path editor.

Hi, I've not contributed to inkscape before, this is my first time. I have created a branch which supports editing elliptical arcs in the node editor. I'm new to bazaar (and inexperienced with launchpad) so I think I've done the right thing with a merge request here: https://code.launchpad.net/~danieljabailey/inkscape/arc_node_editor/+merge/… (but thought I'd check by asking on this list.) Is this an interesting feature? If so I can polish it up for merging into the main repo. Thanks. Dan.

Signals...
by Tavmjong Bah 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

Hi, I have to admit that I have little real understanding of signals in Inkscape... How does one trigger a re-cascading of styling and a redraw when ever the content of the style element (XML Repr) is changed? I see that there is a: SignalObserver::notifyContentChanged() function but I am clueless as how to use it. Thanks, Tav

[UI] Rework Document Properties dialog
by Sebastian Zartner 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi all, I took the time to draft a reworked Document Properties dialog. I already created a blueprint for that two years ago: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/document-properties-rework And now I finally also described my proposal in a bit more detail including some mockups within the wiki: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/BlueprintReworkedDocumentProperties… Would be great if someone took the time to review it and give me some feedback. Thank you in advance, Sebastian

mouse cursor spins forever, sort of
by Lachele Foley 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

After our users use Inkscape for a short time, the mouse cursor turns to a spinning ball. * The cursor remains a spinning ball even outside inkscape and even after inkscape is closed * This hasn't happened after using any other program (gimp, office, gedit, browsers, terminals, etc.) * It happens without fail when we use Inkscape, but see "More info" below. * If there is a pattern regarding when the cursor turns to the spinning ball, I have yet to figure it out. That is, it seems to happen at any time: while editing text, or adding a box, or adding a spiral, or moving something, etc. The weird thing is that when I take a screenshot, the cursor looks normal in the screenshot. In order to make an image of the problem, I had to take a photograph of the screen. See images at the link below; I added descriptive comments. https://goo.gl/photos/bttn8JmHNQM871mo8 More info: * I'm using LTSP. ** It always happens on the clients, but not on the server that I've seen yet ** Since it only happens with inkscape, I'm reporting to you before trying the LTSP folks * OS info: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS ** inkscape is up to date ** uname -a Linux rime 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- :-) Lachele Lachele Foley CCRC/UGA Athens, GA USA

Hi people!, What do you know about why if you close the last opened file, close the entire program too?, and why if open various files, open various windows of the program?

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Fwd: features (closing inkscape when closing file)
by jelle 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Dear all,. It is one of my biggest gripes that whenever I close a file Iḿ working on the program closes and I have to start it up again, waiting for my 200+ fonts to load, having everything initialise etc. It's utter bollocks. Why not just close the file and display a grey field until you start a new or open an existing file? Have it ready for a new bout of creativity? You want to close it? Press Alt+f4 or click the cross in the top right corner (it's not a win10 installer is it?). And yes,.. tabbed files would be very welcome, so those of us that do more than just dabble around with it to check for bugs can just open a whole project in a single instance of Inkscape and start dragging and dropping objects from one file to another. Oh that implies multiple open files displayed at the same time. That would enable us to easily access files with symbols or reusable objects or check their content, make template files more accessible, easily collate a whole project into a multi page document and so forth. There is a plethora of use cases for that. Not to mention avoiding having multiple instances of the same application cluttering your task bar not showing what file it is due to lack of space. Click this one? Rats!! Wrong one.. This one then? Argh... Next,.. etc. If you like me tend to work with about 10 open instances of Inkscape while working on a new project, it can be useful to spread them around multiple desktops, but it would be nice if you could have it tabbed and multiple instances at your hearts desire. Would also be easier on the screen estate. Cheers, Jelle
