Problems building on Ubuntu 16.04
by mathog
Upgraded the Ubuntu 14.04 system which had endless build problems to
Ubuntu 16.04.
It doesn't seem to like 16.04 much better. Different problems, but
still problems.
Cleaned out the build directory and did:
cmake ..
which failed at
...

WITH_PROFILING: OFF

to-do list for interface issues?
by brynn
Hi Friends,
As I've seen mentioned in this mailing list recently, it seems like a
lot of new work is planned for improving the interface, in the near future. We
come across issues all the time in forums. So I'm wondering if someone is
maintaining a to-do list, or list of issues that need to be addressed? It would
be easy for us to help you identify issues, by adding items to a list, if you
would find it helpful....if there is such a list somewhere.
Thanks,

Update (merge request) for bool LPE
by Michael Soegtrop
Dear Inkscape Team,
I did a merge request for an updated bool LPE. See the merge request
comments.
What I still need is a method to check if a PathVector is closed or
open. I want to issue an error message if the operands are not as
expected, but I couldn't find a way to do this. Jabier wrote that there
is some isClosed() function, but I couldn't find anything around a
PathVector. Any help with this is appreciated.
Best regards,
Michael

Git Critical Issues?
by Ted Gould
Hello,
I get the feeling that we're all in good shape with the Git repos, but I
wanted to ensure that there aren't any critical issues before starting
to clean up the Bazaar repos in Launchpad. Last call for critical
issues. Anyone?
Thanks,
Ted

GitLab Subgroup
by Ryan Gorley
Over the past couple weeks I've been exploring the best location(s) to
organize the Inkscape outreach and marketing team (a.k.a. Vectors). The
team will need some access to GitLab in any regard for storing collateral,
however the Issue Board <https://about.gitlab.com/features/issueboard/>
could be an excellent project management and communication area in its own
right.
In order to explore that option I would like to create a "vectors"
subgroup. I've already requested access, but I'm not sure who manages that
and could grant my account sufficient permissions to manage that subgroup
and perhaps create additional subgroups within the vector subgroup.
Will whoever has this capability take a minute to help me out? Thanks!

How to propose patches
by Daniel A. Wagenaar
I created a patch to improve the selection toolbar. It creates two new
pull-downs. One determines whether the "X" coordinate refers to the left
of the selection (as normal), or the center, or the right; and whether
changing the width keeps the left, center, or right edge in place. The
second does the analogous function for "Y".
Several years ago, I had write access to the inkscape archives, but no
more. Can someone please explain where I should send a patch, or if
there is some other procedure?
Thanks!

ClipboardManagerImpl::getFirstObjectID restricted to very few object types
by Michael Soegtrop
Dear Inkscape Team,
I try to make my bool LPE work with any objects, not just paths. I got
around most issues (like getting a PathVector from an SPItem), but I am
lost with ClipboardManagerImpl::getFirstObjectID which is used by
OriginalItemParam. It is restricted to very few object types
(g,path,use,text,image,rect). Since the clipboard is used to set the
operand path of the LPE, it is restricted to these types.
Is there a good reason for this restriction or is this a bug / non
feature? What would be an appropriate SVG tag list?
This function seems to be used only in very few places, so I guess it
wouldn't do a lot of harm to fix it? Would there be a better
implementation than checking for a list of literal SVG types?
Btw.: Is the LPE parameter type OriginalItemParam / ItemParam
operational or is this beta code I shouldn't use?
Best regards,
Michael
