Developer Meeting, Sept 4th 2024
by Martin Owens 04 Sep '24

04 Sep '24

Hey everyone, Time for our regular developer meeting notes. Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/ Attending: Martin, Eledil, Jonathan, Marc, Mikekov, Tav, Ishaan, René Next Meeting: September 12th, (but there is also a PLC meeting on Friday) Beta3 is not perfect because it produces a custom string in the version string which needs to be cleaned up. Marc's certificate expired and needs to renew it. We don't have an official certificate, there is a way around that if we used Azure as a CI builder. We are releasing beta3 today, we had it on draft by accident and have now got it out the door for windows testing specifically. There is an outstanding vote, for hiring a contractor to finish the ai extension. Please make sure you get your votes in for today. Jonathan and Martin talked about the color extensions refactoring branch that is ready for review. Martin will proceed to work on the pdf out extension to add all that color support that now exists. They talk a bit about extensions progress bars and how to get pdf and other things. Jonathan is worried about the speed with a large text file. And how to treat text. Mikekov, has continued work on the object dialog and working on styles. There are a bunch of issues to do with signals and propagation and Martin suggests using signal keys to identify where an update modifier signal has come from. We will discuss this issue further in the chat room. Tav has been working on an Importance Critical bug; when you right click on a spin button it would pop up a menu, that was not the case in 1.4. The menus were mostly used for when the toolbar got too small and there was a menu for each thing that fell of the bar. During the refactoring this feature got removed as not being important. He has a merge request to put them back. An empty call will generate a few useful values even if it's empty. Martin will review. Elendil, if you have an svg file with a css file. The CSS dialog is currently parsing the CSS itself manually and could do with refactoring. The patch code with a comment explaining it should be ok for now as it retains more functionality than retaining the comments would. René is continuing his work on the cross-compiling and Martin's MR to improve that capability. And will help with the version thing. Ishaan will be giving a workshop on Inkscape at a FOSS conference, Bangalore, India. Mikekov; some of our tools are very special. The sp-desktop-style setting and getting is quite broken right now. There's a lot of issues with how these styles are processed before dialogs get access to them. Tav and Martin talk about text object selection with tspans. Ishaan asked about tablet code in master, it had to be removed and now had to be reimplemented. We may need to just review it and make sure we are using the new APIs as intended and that those features are available to windows and macOS users. See you all next time. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Crashe with pencil tool

Hello, I just tried the same manipulation but on another PC, and the problem does not occur. So the problem I'm having comes from my PC... Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Michel De : W. Robert J. Funnell, Prof. <robert.funnell(a)mcgill.ca> Envoyé : dimanche 1 septembre 2024 20:48 À : inkscape-devel(a)lists.inkscape.org <inkscape-devel(a)lists.inkscape.org> Cc : micric * <micric(a)hotmail.fr> Objet : Re: Bogue version V.1.3.2 I don't know why Inkscape crashes when you open a new document and use the Pencil tool. It works for me. Does it crash as soon as you select the tool, or only when you start using it? Are you able to open and modify an existing document? I'm using Windows 11 Home 23H2, with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz and 16 GB. - Robert Bonjour, Je constate un plantage du logiciel lorsque je suis les étapes suivantes : * lancement d'Inkscape V.1.3.2 * ouverture d'un nouveau document * utilisation de l'outil crayon A cette étape le logiciel plante systématiquement. Ce problème n'apparaissait pas avant la dernière mise à jour. Merci de me préciser si une solution existe. Voici les spécifications de mon PC : [cid:9b45fd0b-ac73-42c8-bc9c-e03709e6f50c]
