Please see: https://inkscape.org/forums/cutplot/oem-product/ This is a post sent by my client to the community forum. Yes, I am in contact with this client. To be honest, we have worked together once. I developed a customized version of Flameshot for him. Now, he wants me to customize inkscape to meet his needs. I know it depends on me, although I am not sure I can do it completely. He and I found some interesting plug-ins that may solve such problems. I am exploring in this direction, but in the meantime, I may need some help from the community. If necessary, I am also willing to pay for it. If anyone is interested in HPGL's digital engraving machine and related functions and does know how to develop inkscape integration, I hope you can get in touch with me further. Thank you for your reply.

Hi all, Following are the meeting notes for the Developer Meeting on 18th July 2024: Attending: Rene, Tav, Ishaan, Elendil (Krlr17), Ravi, Jonathan, Marc, Ravi Martin and Tav went through Bugfix Accelerator MRs. 1.4beta2 can be tagged and release files can be done basically whenever. A tentative date is 1 August (for release files / installers), to give enough time for people to get fixes in. When we have installers, Vectors can decide when to actually announce. Some discussion on getting some MRs in before the beta2. Jonathan suggested to get afdesign import into extensions for Into 1.4.0. Some issues in building exe version of Windows, CI is failing. Items to BACKPORT for 1.4.0: - Remove LPE from Pen icon - Fix orientation bug while printing - Fix crash on aligning text when nothing is selected. - Updated context menu selection logic - Fix ghost page when deleting the first page from the XML dialog - Update ja.po Best Ishaan Arora > A man’s not dead while his name is still spoken.

Hi all, Following are the meeting notes for the Developer Meeting on 10th July 2024: Attending: Rene, Tav, Ishaan, Elendil (Krlr17), Ravi Rene worked on dependencies and engaged in a few Windows related MRs. Also need to work on Documentation CI Tav working on bug report where there are no tooltips on menus. MacOS might not support tootips on menus. Elendil (Krlr17) informed Snap version is broken badly, so we shouldn't have it as default on Ubuntu. Export dialog does not work. A lot of issues reported for the snap version. We can ask Ted to join the next dev meeting to discuss the future of the snap. Ishaan managed to report a few bugs on MacOS. Was busy otherwise ^^ Ravi continued work on his GSoC Project (Node based filter editor). Opened an MR as well. More discussion on tooltips. Some history about Objective C and Swift from Rene. Rene discussed about not stopping jobs/pipelines on master as it breaks links. Next Meeting: Thursday, 18th July Thanks for everyone who was able to make it to the meeting!

Developer Meeting Notes; 2nd July 2024

Hi Everyone, A quiet meeting this month, most issues were chatting about details, some omitted here. Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/ Attending: Mikekov, Martin, Tav, René, Ishaan Next meeting: July 10th 2024 * Martin and Tav reviewed the Bug accelerator program, making sure hours and tasks completed are reported and how the program might be improved next time. Finding issues to do was an issue for Tav who didn't have the link to the milestone page. * René wanted to review the release plan with Marc taking a break. We won't know more about if we'll have a tag this week or next but we'll try and keep everyone up to date. * Several people now don't have access to the Rocket Chat, because we are hesitant to upgrade it but at the same time need Jonathan and René and others to be able to continue to access the chat from their phones. * Tav reviewed the GSoC projects and each of the students. * We talked about macOS and some os the issues there now Tav has had a chance to look at some os the issues. We talked about the way the recent files' menu doesn't have tooltips and how to help remidy that. Some issues with fonts, some issues with Gtk4 were discussed. * Mikekov has been working on the supplimental color pickers and color wheel improvements. He's added a new color wheel type and has been looking of the speed issues with the new code. * Several people have had issues compiling on windows linking errors. Mikekov gave up trying to do development on windows for now. * We all reviewed the terrible delay in getting computers bought by the project and how we can work around the issue by buying the machines are getting reimbursed from the SFC instead. This is the action that Tav has taken, and Adam may also do this. Though we are aware of the restrictions this places on people who don't have the capital to purchas machines out of their own pockets. So we need a better system in any case. * Ishaan got a macOS from work and has been testing various things in 1.4 and 1.5. 1.5 seems to have the best experience on macOS. Has continued to work on selection changes, currently stuck on a problem with units. Martin helped walk through all the different coordinate systems in inkscape. * Ishaan also wanted to ask about a new contributor who is having issues building windows but is always communicating in private messages despite being asked not to. Ishaan wanted advice on how to handle it. Martin gave some advice about being clear and setting boundries and explaining why it's a problem to ask in the wrong channels. Hopefully it won't need more moderation. Best Regards, Martin Owens
