The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

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.

voting in gitlab merge request automatically subscribes to it
by brynn 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hi Friends, I recently clicked the thumb up/down icon in gitlab merge request, responding to a mailing list message, which asked for a simple vote. And suddenly email is pouring in! I finally found how to unsubscribe, but the checkbox for it is in a separate panel on the right side of the page, which scrolls separately from the main window. Since the checkbox is below the first page, and the panel scrolls separately, and the panel does not even have a scrollbar, it was hard to find. (had to zoom out) Anyway, I've searched through all the personal settings I can find, without success. Is there some way not to subscribe to something by simply voting, and I just didn't find it? If there's no way to change my personal settings, I wanted to ask if it would be possible to globally disable subscribing to the thing (merge request, issue, whatever) by simply voting. Thanks, brynn

inkscape-trunk broken, icons missing, causing inkscape to crash on loading projects.
by C R 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

It just crashes. Is there some reason the icon stuff was merged in a half-finished state with trunk? It's broken everything, even if you open Inkscape without loading a project, half the icons are now missing, and it's unusable. Having to revert to old Inkscape for the time being, which is an uber pain. Also wanted to do some bug reporting this weekend, but am having to put that off too. Thanks for any advice. -C

Symbolic icons
by Jabier Arraiza 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Hi all, the branch to allow put symbolic icons trought inkscape preferences is merged on trunk. We have currently 2 iconset "hicolor" and "Tango" also "hicolor" has a symbolic icon set inside. This symbolic icons are cool but some people dislike use symolic icons so my question is: ¿Anyone is interested in make a new theme recoloring the symbolic icon set? Maybe can be a multi, duo or tri tone recolor. Please recolor it in text editor with a inkscape instance to check the style properties fit you color. Also we can do 2 sets one focus in dark theme and other in clear one. I think we can use a external defs svg file to handle the colors, so it can be forked editing one file. We can also make a system wide same theme from "hicolor system icons"
