About knots selection
by Antonio Ospite 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hi, I was looking into fixing https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1707919 and, after compiling a recent Inkscape version I noticed that the behavior of knot changed wrt. selection and dragging compared to 0.92.x. After some research on the mailing list I found the change mentioned here: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2017/07/12/what-happened-hackfest-2017/ I can see the benefit of keeping knots selected to be able to move them with the keyboard but I still find the new behavior a little unintuitive, at lest for shape editing: 1. The colors of the mouse-over and selected states are the same, maybe the coloring scheme of node paths can be copied: where mouse-over color is different from the selected and dragging colors which are the same. 2. Previously selected knots look still selected when _another_ knot is dragged without pressing Shift. Steps to replicate: 1. Change size of a rect using one corner. 2. Then change the size using the opposite corner. The firs corner looks still selected. 3. Shift-click does not really select arc knots for ellipses, or rounding knots for rects, because this action is already used for something else, e.g. to close the arc instead. Would it be possible to use Ctrl-Shift-click for the current function and leave Shift-click for the normal select behavior? IMHO this would be more consistent. 4. Dragging with the mouse only affects the last selected knot, even if multiple ones are selected, but this is not a big deal, the behavior is different compared to path nodes, but both make sense IMHO. I'll resume working on https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1707919 after the details from above are sorted out, to avoid overlapping problems. Thanks, Antonio P.S. When verifying 1. I also noticed that path nodes change their size when clicked the _first_time_ but then get smaller again if the object is unselected and re-selected; however this is unrelated to the message above, I'll file a separate bug report for that if it can considered a bug, what do you think? -- Antonio Ospite https://ao2.it https://twitter.com/ao2it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

September Hackfest in Kiel, Germany
by Maren Hachmann 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

Hi Developers and Community Members, we are currently planning to have an Inkscape hackfest in Kiel, in Northern Germany. It was suggested it could take place this year's autumn/fall already, and I was able to reserve a conference room in a startup center close to the city's university for early September, from Sun, 2018-09-09 until Thu, 2018-09-13. This will be during the 'Digitale Woche Kiel', a city-wide event week that aims to introduce people to IT and technology, and just before the 'Kieler Open Source und Linux Tage', a local conference with workshops, talks and an exhibition about Linux and Open Source software. The Inkscape Board has not voted on funding of the event yet. Details about the proposed Hackfest can be found at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel If you are interested in attending the Hackfest in Kiel in September, please add your name to the list at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel_Attendees Please also add any topic that you would be interested to discuss during the Hackfest, or that you would like to suggest for discussion, here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel_Topics Kind Regards, Maren

This meeting will be conducted by chat only at: https://teams.freecreatives.org/inkscape/channels/town-square June 13th is the one year anniversary of our first meeting as a team!

Help needed: Extensions rotate path
by unknown＠example.com 18 May '18

18 May '18

Hi all, I've been refactoring the extensions code and while working on the paths support, I've become blocked on the rotate path functionality and need help. It's supposed to be able to rotate each of the points in the point list around the center x,y and it's based on the original code. But I have two problems. Firstly, I can't seem to find a way to get inkscape to output the kind of rotated path that would make writing a trustworthy test easier (and I don't know how to do the calculations by hand) And secondly, I'm not entirely sure if the original code worked or not. If you know anything about geometry or the original python, can you take a look at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/blob/master/inkex /paths.py#L92 which is the code in question and https://gitlab.com/inks cape/extensions/blob/master/tests/test_inkex_paths.py#L124 which is the respective test code. Tests can be run with `python3 setup.py test -s tests.test_inkex_paths` Best Regards, Martin Owens
