Request for Comments on an Idea - Rendering Tests
by Shlomi Fish 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hi all! Do you think it would be a good idea to make Inkscape's test suite more comprehensive by making sure some (= as many as we can) input SVGs result in the same bitmap images after being rendered by --export-png? It won't be too hard to implement, and may prevent regressions.

Windows build new (for me) warnings
by mathog 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hi all, I have not built Inkscape on Windows in a while, so today updated devlibs and Inkscape, tossed the build directory, and ran btool. It is running along OK at the moment, but several of these have gone by: STDERR: In file included from c:\progs\devlibs63/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_map_adapter.hpp:19:0, from c:\progs\devlibs63/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_map.hpp:20, from src/ui/tools/node-tool.h:14, from src/selection-chemistry.cpp:117: c:\progs\devlibs63/include/boost/ptr_container/detail/map_iterator.hpp:52:48: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type [-Wignored-qualifiers] What is causing these? Is this something being picky, or a real problem? Also, the Windows build page now says that cmake is the tool of choice and that btool is deprecated. Does it make any difference which version of cmake is used? Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Fw: CMake now working on Windows

The attached patch actually works in a different directory. It provides the inkscape.com binary and the missing license texts in the install directory. The build output should now be feature-equal to btool. ~seb *Semiodesk GmbH | *Werner-von-Siemens-Str. 6 Geb. 15k, 86159 Augsburg, Germany | Phone: +49 821 8854401 | Fax: +49 821 8854410 | www.semiodesk.com This e-mail message may contain confidential or legally privileged information and is intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s).

Filters
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hi to all, playing with filters I notice usualy filters apply a 1.20 scale to the area of the effect with a negative ofset to center it. This is good for some filters but not for all, if I change it to 1.0 in a element, the effected element loose his bounding box in the stroke part -geometric bounds- is posibol to fix it to visual bounds or is a problem with the SVG spec? Cheers, Jabier. PD. Thanks to the person fix the linked image filter!

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Filters

Hi Jabier, When I play with filters I always use geometrical bounding box because of that. I don't know if this is really an svg spec. The filters need often a lot of room to develop their effects. I tried to give each one the most convenient space around. Sometimes it's fairly large ! I hope that can help,ivan Le Dimanche 17 juillet 2016 14h04, Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz <jabier.arraiza@...2893...> a écrit : Hi to all, playing with filters I notice usualy filters apply a 1.20 scale to the area of the effect with a negative ofset to center it.

Creating CSS Dialog
by Kamalpreet Grewal 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi As double clicking any selector should open up the CSS dialog, I am trying to open CSS dialog in the _buttonEventsSelectObjs for GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS. I have registered the CSS dialog correctly. Calling the constructor of CSS dialog does not open it. Therefore, I am calling it as: _desktop->_dlg_mgr->showDialog("CssDialog"); // dialog opens Looks like verb associated with the dialog has to be used so that it shows up on double click. If this is the only case, how can I pass the data (CSS properties) between Style Dialog and CSS Dialog? -- Kamalpreet Kaur Grewal Blog: http://kamalpreetgrewal.com/

Reminder End of Survey: Relevance of Configuration Systems in Free and Open Source Software
by Gabriel Rauter 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

I would like to gently remind anyone interested that the survey will be closed on 18.07.2016. As stated in the previous mailing we are interested in the experience and opinion of people involved in both FLOSS and configuration systems. This includes developers who use or have used configuration related artefacts in their contributions. e.g. also accessing and using environment variables for configuration. http://elektra.limequery.org/625192 As concern of my credibility where raised on two mailing lists I would like to be clearer in this regard. For concerns regarding using a gmail address: I barely use my university email, only when explicitly needed. Why? Because it is a temporary mail address. Once I finished my studies it will be deactivated. Also I use my gmail address for contributions. If you still have any concerns feel free to contact me at e1026292 at tuwien ac at or check my github profile https://github.com/sirblackheart. As for concerns regarding the Elektra Initiative itself you can see its members at https://github.com/ElektraInitiative. In addition you can see offered thesis at http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/cgi-bin/uncgi.cgi/prak_dipl1.cgi?kw=Compil… We also hold regular meetings. If you are living near Vienna and are interested in the topic of configuration systems in FLOSS, feel free to contact us to be added to the mailing list. best regards, Gabriel Rauter ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabriel Rauter <rauter.gabriel@...400...> Date: 2016-06-14 20:45 GMT+02:00 Subject: Survey: Relevance of Configuration Systems in Free and Open Source Software To: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Dear developers, contributors and caretakers of free and open source software. If you are involved in the development of free and open source software (FLOSS) you are the person we are looking for. It would be a great help if you take this survey: http://elektra.limequery.org/625192 It will be available till 18.07.2016 (anywhere on earth). For every thoroughly and not anonymously finished survey € 40 cent will be donated to one of the following organizations of your choice: For every thoroughly and not anonymously finished survey € 40 (at least € 200 in total) cent will be donated. The donation goes to one organisation of your choice. You need to enter your e-mail address to participate. Then you can select between following projects: - LimeSurvey (LimeService, kindly hosts this survey) - SPI (General Donation: 0 A.D., LibreOffice, Debian, ArchLinux, …) - FSFE - GNOME - KDE - Mozilla (Firefox) - Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia) So if you know anyone suited for this survey please feel free to share it. As part of the ongoing research on the topic of configuration systems in free and open source software here at Vienna University of Technology, we would like to invite you to participate in this short survey. It should only take you 15 minutes, promised! By supporting us through this survey, you help the research by providing relevant input on this topic. In addition the anonymised results will be released under an open licence, so other projects with involvement in configuration in free and open source software can benefit from it too. In addition the results will be anonymised and made freely available. Just leave your address at the end of the survey and we will send it to you. For further questions regarding this survey or interest in the research of configuration systems feel free to contact as atsurvey@...3407... If you have not done it yet, we would appreciate if you take our survey at http://elektra.limequery.org/625192 before the 18.07.2016.

New font editing branch
by Tavmjong Bah 10 Jul '16

10 Jul '16

Hi, I had reason to do a little font design using Inkscape recently and found a few pain points... which I have fixed. As we are in string freeze, I pushed the changes to a new branch which can be found at: bzr branch lp:~inkscape.dev/inkscape/font_editing In particular I changed the font editing dialog: 1. Allowed for fonts with other than 1000 units per em. 2. Allowed setting 'ascent', 'descent', etc. 3. Allowed setting individual glyph horizontal advances. 4. Fixed bug where 'units-per-em' was not read correctly. Feed back most welcome. Tav

Account request on the wiki
by Sylvain Chiron 10 Jul '16

10 Jul '16

Hello all, I'm a quite new (several months have gone now…) French translator for the project, stealing progressively all the translation tasks to Mr jazzynico. I also work a little on the website project. I would like to get an account on the wiki, to be able to write glossary info for French as a first reason, because such a glossary would be very useful to other translators and I like to share the core nodes of my work. Other reasons would be trying to update/improve pages or correct their little mistakes, as I can't bear working with mistakes, obsolescence and non-compliance without attempting to correct them (I love the wiki system for that). Please set Frigory as my username. Thank you; regards, -- Sylvain Chiron
