Beta-blockers ?
by Marc Jeanmougin
Hi all,
The toolbar bug seems fixed for most systems and only seems to appear on
wayland (at least I can't trigger it on xorg), and is now reported
upstream at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/2000
The translation system seems better (#311), so … do anyone see any issue
that would need to be fixed before releasing a beta ?

opening new forum this week
by brynn
Hi Friends,
The new forum is opening this week! I'm planning to start
the transition from Inkscape Community to the new forum, on July 31 (in
my part of the world). Because by the time it's August 1st for me, it's
either already, or almost August 2nd for half the world.
Martin, can you please plan to release the posting block on
the new forum, on July 31 ? Would you please let me know when it's
done? And then I'll block all new posting on Inkscape Community.
I hope to heck I've thought of everything. But I'm sure
there will be some surprises. Any and all comments or concerns are
still totally welcome.
All best,
brynn

Inkscape booth at Kielux - help present Inkscape in Kiel!
by Maren Hachmann
Hi,
I'm looking for a second person to staff the Inkscape booth in Kiel at
Kieler Open Source und Linux Tage on September 20th and 21st this year.
As I'm also presenting at and co-organizing the event, it would be
really good if there were someone else who can help, even if only for a
few hours.
You don't need to be an expert in Inkscape, but you should bring some
motivation and enthusiasm for the program and its capabilities.
More info about the event is available at: https://kielux.de
There will also be some very interesting talks and workshops, and you'll
have direct access to Inkscape stickers (at least those are planned) and
fresh info about the latest developments :)
If you'd like to join me, please reply to this email!
Hope to hear from you
Maren

Re: moderators need ability to curate the description in gallery
by Josh Andler
Ok. I will go ahead and file it either tonight or in the morning. Once I've
done that I'll link it here so anyone following can make sure my request
looks right and add any notes they deem appropriate.
Cheers,
Josh

moderators need ability to curate the description in gallery
by brynn
Hi Friends,
Reference the 3 images uploaded by this member:
https://inkscape.org/~yendrifernando/
The images appear to be made with Inkscape, but in my opinion, the links
in the description are spam. As a moderator, I would like to be able to edit
the description (via Curate) and remove only the "www.". In that way, the
description still tributes the inspiration for the images to that website (as
the member appears to intend), without having an active link to the website.
Breaking the link removes the spam.
Martin and I have had an extended private discussion about this. But he
disagrees with giving moderators the ability to edit the description. He says
that we need to have a community discussion about it.
I'll have to be honest and say that I don't understand his position, or
even really know exactly what his position is. Even if I did, I wouldn't try to
represent it. So he'll have to do that. Our discussion ranged far and wide
over moderation subjects, but none of his arguments really hit home to me, as a
good reason not to allow moderators to edit (curate) the description. So it
seems we've hit a stalemate.
I'll be honest again and say that I'm not sure if the purpose of this
discussion is to repeat our discussion publicly, or just to get opinions on
curating the description. Because a lot of his concerns seemed to be about
potentially overly aggressive moderation. Or maybe it's both? But I think I'm
a fair moderator and can train fair moderators, so I'm ready either way :-)
Martin, I hope this is a fair introduction of the issue?
All best,
brynn

Two points:

What OS did you convert to? Ubuntu again? Do I understand that the
laptop disk was readable, so that you could transfer files to the new machine?
> I found my svg files are mere png's and uneditable.
Specifically, do you say that files with the /svg/ extension were
not SVG files? Or that they were SVG, but without vector data,
perhaps lists of pixels.
If you do not know how to answer, we may need to see an example file.

Inkscape files-svg auto converted to png and now unusable.
by manoj.bhargav333＠gmail.com
I am a senior professional and work as a fine art illustrator, mostly rasters on gimp.
I do use Inkscape alongside.
since a couple of years i am working on patient education in hindi booklets 7 have more than 50 titles booklets to be published, 10 pages of 3x11" each. Illustrations, diagrams with devnagari text.
My laptop lost its display and crashed with Ubuntu 19 and while converting os I found my svg files are mere png's and uneditable.
Anyone have experienced similar problem or an explanation/help, please respond.
Years of hard work is unreachable. Help recover it.
Thanks.

help setting up gl notifications
by brynn
Hi Friends,
I'm having trouble setting up notifications for GitLab
properly. I want to be notified whenever a bug I've reported has been
changed. And otherwise, whenever someone tags my name with @.
So far, I get notified about Vectors team stuff whenever someone uses
@all or @brynn. But I haven't gotten a single notification about a bug
report. Not even when I post a new bug report.
I would have thought Global Notification would trump all else.
But there are other options below that (for Groups and Projects). So
obviously global doesn't trump everything, but in that case, I don't
understand how to decide how to set anything. What exactly does global
mean for gitlab?
Part of the trouble I'm having is that when I look at the main Inkscape
page, it has Subgroups and Projects, and lists 13 different items. But
up in the dark blue bar at the top, is has dropdown lists for Projects
and Groups. None of these 3 areas seem to be consistent.
For example, why is the main Inkscape project a Group rather than a
Project? And if groups are the highest level, why don't they have
Groups first in the bar, rather than 2nd? And if Group is the highest
level, why is the Vectors team a Group too? And then when I look at the
Notifications page for settings, it has Groups and Projects separate,
but it does not identify all the groups or projects in which I've
participated, and there isn't any way to add more on my own.
So all that makes it very hard to sort things out intuitively. Could
someone just tell what to mark, to make sure I get notified about
- any change to to a bug report of mine (or reports I subscribe to, if
that's possible (so far, I don't see how to subscribe))
- @brynn
Related - When someone migrates one of my bug reports, it's listed
under their name. How can I still get notified about changes to those?
Do I have to make a reply or mark something?
Thank you very much,
brynn
