Inkscape Business Card
by C R 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Attached is a sample of the new Inkscape business card for review. The idea was to make a foldable card so people could write notes on the inside of it. I thought that a notepad theme would work, and I included my favourite Inkscape hotkeys on the back for added value. Yes, the hotkey text will be small, but it is a business card, so. :) -C

Hi all, We will be having our next hackfest just before the LGM meeting in Saarbrücken, Germany. All members of the Inkscape community are encouraged to attend. Financial support is available but you must sign up in advance (and follow SFC travel rules). We already have ten people signed up so this could be our largest hackfest to date! We are limited to twenty participants due to constraints by our hosts. See the hackfest wiki page for more details.[1] If you are interested, please respond to this email and add your name on the Attendees wiki page.[2] Looking forward to meeting in Saarbrücken!

10 Apr '19

Hi, I was trying to use the Scatter Extension with the 1.0 Alpha version, following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EoUu0KrZZ0 It works fine with the latest stable release, but with this alpha version when I tick the live preview checkbox it displays the following error message: I have rebuilt three times (twice on windows, once on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) ), but the error still there. Is there an easy way to fix this? Best regards, Zoltan Szabo

Extensions for the 1.0 release (report)
by unknown＠example.com 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Extensions 1.0 - 2019-03-24 to 2019-04-01 I've completed a very exausting slog through all of our extensions for the Inkscape 1.0 release. Below is a detailed report on where we currently stand with our extensions repository. There are some decisions to make wrt how we support dependancies, how we test extensions that call out to outside programs and how we fix the remaining issues. If you'd like to help out, then pick one of the extensions in the failed, missing or otherwise has a problem from the below lists and download the inkscape-extensions repository from GitLab. Use pytest tests/test_[name_of_extension].py to test the specific extension you're interested in. For svg comparisons, look for the XXX parts in the output, it'll show you were it's different xml-wise. == Overview == * 23 Extensions without comparison tests * 119 Added Comparison Tests - 0 Causing an Error (all fixed) - 95 Working extensions with perfect matches - 24 Failed to match (output is different) * 7 Missing, Removed or untestable extensions - 1 Delayed fix because of Merge Request - 1 None Inkex based python extension - 4 Removed extensions - 1 Windows extension === Failed Extensions === Large number of differences or just borked: - perspective, pixelsnap Large number of differences or format is not svg: - dpiswitcher, extrude, dxf_outlines, hpgl_output Medium number of differences related to path transformatons: - foldablebox, polyhedron_3d, summersnight Medium number of differences, various attributes missing from output: - grid_polar, grid_cartesian, lindenmayer, whirl Tiny or single difference related to finding layer center: - render_barcode, render_barcode_datamatrix, render_barcode_qrcode, render_gear_rack, render_gears, spirograph, split, triangle, wireframe_sphere, grid_isometric, hershey === Removed: External dependancy, shell script (not python) === - eqtexsvg, plt_output, sk1_output, wmf_output, === Other === gcodetools - Held up because of merge request, cleanup is very large. dm2svg - None inkex python extension, could be converted print_win32_vector - Windows only (untestable) but also an infurating copy of dxf_outlines.py AND untestable because it requires access to printers to print things. === Extensions without comparison tests === color_randomize, dxf12_outlines, fractalize, frame, generate_voronoi, gimp_xcf, inkwebeffect, interp_attr_g, jitternodes, layout_nup, loren_ipsum, markers_strokepaint, measure, pathmodifier, pathscatter, prepare_file_save_as, print_win32_vector, render_alphabetsoup, rtree, rubberstretch, synfig_output, synfig_prepare, text_randomcase == Work Done == - Unit Tests: 149 files changed, 1311 insertions(+), 1462 deletions(-) - Test Framework: 3 files changed, 308 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) - Extensions: 57 files changed, 862 insertions(+), 1185 deletions(-) - Inkex API: 9 files changed, 216 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-)

New "Inkscape Extras" group
by Bryce Harrington 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi all, In our gitlab setup, I've added a new team "Inkscape Extras". The principle motivation for setting this up right now is to facilitate work on the extensions, to establish a collaborative space for community contributors to share their work, but with a clear delineation from the core extensions that we as a project formally support and distribute. Inkscape Extras can include other side-projects, experiments, and other misc. codebases that are worth sharing with each other, but that we won't be formally supporting, packaging, or distributing. Access to Inkscape Extras can be given out broadly (i.e. we don't need to require the 2-patch rule for access like we require for the "Inkscape Devels" group). Let me know if you have questions, or need help getting projects set up under this group. Bryce

GSoC Proposal For Project Refactoring
by Syed Shaharyaar Hussain 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi I have attached my proposal. I know it is not very elaborate because it is my first time that I am working for open source project and of course there are lot of libraries I need to know about. Even if I don't get selected, still I will put my efforts to improve Inkscape as much as I can. Also I have made this proposal during peak duration of my exams preparation, if I had made any mistake in proposal I am sorry for that. Regards Shaharyaar
