Re: [Inkscape-devel] Win32 NSIS installer

Excellent stuff! I agree that on Windows it would be good to not install all languages by default. I'd suggest you taking this a little further to your liking and we'll get it committed. Cheers, Josh On Jul 28, 2009 4:55 AM, "Chris Morgan" <chris.morganiser@...400...> wrote: Hi all, Today I decided to take a look at the NSIS installer for Win32, and decided to optimise it. It currently uses a macro and function for reading options from the command line. Since then, FileFunc.nsh has had added to it the GetParameters and GetOptions macros, which make the code inside the installer obsolete. I was amused to see that the option-reading code was made by (a different) Chris Morgan in 2004! For your assurance that I hopefully know what I'm doing, I have had lots of NSIS experience, mainly at PortableApps.com, where our launchers and installer are in NSIS. NSIS is an area I can help in, unlike the one I wanted to do more, https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/398603, which I'd like to fix but can't really. I also optimised readability and similar through the use of LogicLib's logical code structures. I cleaned up the language sections significantly, using a single macro rather than a section for each, containing a macro. In all of them, polng was equal to lng, with the exception of Japanese which had, incorrectly, jp rather than ja for lng. lng was only used for "..\..\inkscape\*.${lng}.txt" anyway - a mask which matches no files for any language. I'd propose that that line be vanquished as it's not used (historical?). In the meantime, I simplified it into one argument for the two. More on languages later. While doing this I found about half a dozen minor bugs, all of which I've fixed. Starting at line 1382 (old), that set of things had the conditions the wrong way around, so it would only print the detail if it was *empty*, rather than if it was something... utterly insignificant, but a bug :D More importantly, all the code around that section was inefficient, I rearranged it to make it more efficient. Also the deleting HKCU\.svg[z] thing was looking for the wrong thing, fixed that. The biggest bug I found was that single-user installations didn't work (at least judging by the code). The shell var context had been formerly set to "all", and the all users section set it to "all" and had a bit of code which wouldn't ever get executed. I got around this the easiest way, which was just to create an unshown section before it to SetShellVarContext current. All in all, I took it down from 1559 lines (47,874 bytes) to 930 lines (34,534 bytes) (60% of the lines, 72% of the filesize), shrunk the installer output by about 25KB (0.07% :P), fixed some bugs and made it more readable in the process. Now for some discussion on what I reckon having looked at it. Languages: I can optimise those still further, just thought I'd send round what I'd got so far. In particular, I want to change it so that no languages are installed by default; this would speed up installation on Windows exponentially - due to the LZMA solid compression used, each language takes an inordinate time to install. I think I can fix that up too, but I'll need to experiment on it a bit. Moving the files first should help in the technique... I'll try it out and report back. However, back on the main topic, I want to change it so English is not shown on the list (it's really pretty meaningless, it's an empty section... and the SectionGroup is "Translations" of the interface, English is pretty much a given), and so that the only language which is installed is that which the installer is running in. I can do that easily enough. Possibly also the MUI LANGDLL should be displayed to let the user choose the initial language. Presets: we've got the SectionIn 1 2 3 bits all over the place, but aren't using the presets at all (any more I guess from commented out code). I think they should be added back, that way you can have all languages in full, the suggested one in optimal and none in minimal. Also I think that quick launch and desktop icons should be on by default. Start menu: currently this is forced on, in a set location, which isn't very nice. We should use the MUI STARTMENU stuff. I also think that a lot of the DetailPrint bits should be cleaned up to either be removed or so they can be more useful. The welcome and finish pages should get their own images, I'll make a proposal for it. Also the header image should get the new logo; likewise I can do that. Right, I think that's enough for now, though I've probably forgotten something I was going to say, and missed a bug or two I fixed. -- Chris Morgan <chris.morganiser@...400...> I don't need a quote in my signature.

Help with Novice hack
by Patrick 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

I created a crude Python script that took an svg drawing, created a bunch of copies with sequential numbering(000001.svg 000002.svg etc) and then the script modified elements within each frame. I then converted them to PNGs to in turn become an animation via Mencoder. Although my program works, it's still pretty much junk because it is such pain to use. I am teaching myself C/C++, I I thought I would try to redo it in C or C++ for programming practice and hopefully improve it as well. So to get to the point(sorry for the ramble) I was wondering if there is a standard C or C++ library (XML based I guess?)that Inkscape uses for SVG manipulation? On the of chance that my coding yields something useful I love to share it, so I might as well start with something that is already being used. Finally I am also not very good at Javascript. I was thinking that I could write a javascript program to refresh a browser so that each svg frame would be displayed in turn to preview the coming animation, transforming the SVG frames to PNGs is a pain. Does anyone know a javascript function that would help achieve this? Sorry if these questions are dumb.... -Patrick

-On the service file: I think, Aaron, that what would be more useful is to have the service.in file modified to point to whichever Inkscape is currently being compiled (easy to implement.) Then it will work with in place installations. This would still require the use of sudo in the make install step to move the service file to dbus's service folder (I think making separate service folders would be more trouble than it's worth. The end result is that the Inkscape service file would always point to the last Inkscape version installed. Ted is right that it is not a crucial feature. I implemented it mostly because it was so easy. Although, it does mean that the example code will always run, weather or not Inkscape is active, which is one less potential error message for new adopters. On starting a session bus: If the user has DBus installed they probably have a session bus running. I could start one if it's not or just assume they are not going to use DBus and not do any DBus stuff. Either one would work, and I don't think it makes a huge difference. On the Windows version: > We have resisted for a long time the temptation to treat non-Unix boxes > as limited-capability ports. An --ENORMOUS-- amount of work has been > expended > to prevent that from happening. Please let's not surrender now. I think that the difference here is that DBus is not part of Inkscape. If a windows user has DBus installed I _absolutely_ want to support that. If they don't however, I can't really install it for them. At this point, Windows DBus is still in development so it's not very likely that windows users will have it. As soon as it is available, We'll make sure Inkscape supports it. If someone is running Inkscape in a cygwin or MinGW environment where DBus is available we should support that as well. Let me know if you think there is a problem with that assessment of the current situation. On recent Progress: I'm still working on getting returning list structures working, but I have a new idea that might work. Packaging is still in progress but I think I have a better idea of what I'm doing now. Tomorrow I'll post a list of functions that are broken and a list of functions that need minor changes. Thank you all for your interest, -Soren

Karmic bugs when settings are changed

On short -> I can't change documet properties - when I open the window for document properties - Inkscape frezee - all windows are shown but ..in a frozen state Working with Inkscape Preferences - all seems to work OK on some cases on other cases Inkscape randomly do the same freeze as previous - I can only kill Inkscape then.. For Inkscape Preferences bug I can't give you an exact behavior - it just happen randomly The locally compiled version is inkscape-21906<http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/inkscape-21906.tar.bz2>

Please enable "snap to paths" for this to work, but this is just a workaround. The problem is that when you snap along a constrained line, that line isn't very likely to run exactly through the corner of the rectangle you want to snap to (or to any other specific point for that matter, due to rounding errors). I'm not sure, but I think that I have implemented constrained snapping to nodes at all, only to paths. Maybe I should and allow for really small tolerances in such a case. Diederik

Use inkscape + dbus + pidgin to implement an whiteboard application.
by Mat 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hi, Inspired by jabber_whiteboard's idea and work, I woundered that whether there is a way to integrated inkscape with pidgin, so that we can share the common part of IM, like: http://inkboardng.googlecode.com/svn/images/intro01.png Then I setup a program to try it, here: http://code.google.com/p/inkboardng/ The program structure idea is illustrated as: http://inkboardng.googlecode.com/svn/images/intro02.png After months of works, now, it has working demos: http://people.debian.org.tw/~mat/inkboard/r100.htm The program is under developing, also encounter some problems that not easy to solve myself. ( I would like to describe in another letter, include the progress I made and the problem it has ) However, I would like to share the program here first, to see whether there is someone also like it, and to see whether it's possible to contribute this work to inkscape project in the future? If you are interested in the program, and willing to build it by yourself, I suggest to start from DeveloperManual here: http://code.google.com/p/inkboardng/wiki/DeveloperManual Any question or suggestion? I'm looking forward... :-) sincerely, Mat.

Colliding DBusses
by Aaron Spike 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Mat, I saw your post about a DBus based Inkboard. I was wondering if you were aware of the work Soren has been doing with DBus in Inkscape for Google's Summer of Code. Without knowing a whole lot about how Inkscape can be made to communicate over DBus, I can only assume that there might be some overlap in your DBus integration work. I would like to see both of these projects succeed. Please take a look at how your projects can fit together. Aaron Spike

Switch language via menu
by Khoem Sokhem 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hello list members, I just want to ask one question on how to switch langugage in Inkscape via menu, It will be good if Inkscape can switch language via menu like VLC, Pidgin. Any one know, will Inkscape have this feature in the future? Thank in advance for your respone. Sokhem- From Cambodia

This again points to a font issue - did you have a look at your installed fonts? (font management with/in 'Font Book' has no influence on which fonts inkscape / X11 sees -> Contents/Resources/etc/fonts/font.conf defines the included font directories for inkscape) But JiHO or Michael would know better how to read the crash report. ~suv

Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape - regular win builds
by Bob Jamison 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Hi again, all. I don't know if anyone noticed, but Mingw.org recently released the gcc 4.4.0 suite as a single bundle (you still need mingw-runtime and win32api). There were a couple of issues with how they package the stdc++ libs, but once that is fixed, it will be a great improvement to our builds. The big thing is that mingw will start using Dwarf2 exception handling by default (we jumped the gun a bit in switching to dw2). So we will be able to share our c++ libs with other projects now, such as Fedora-mingw. Also, Mingw has a new project, mingw-get, which is their version of a package and dependency manager. How cool is that? Something we have wanted for a long time. Wish them luck on that project. bob (ishmal) On 7/2/2009 8:10 AM, Donna Benjamin wrote: > Hey guys! > > James Turnbull can help out with regular windows builds of inkscape. > > Bob says he needs an account on Modevia so he can post 'em somewhere > useful... > > Hoping that by emailing all of you, you might be able to get the right > people in touch with each other to help get this sorted! > > :) > > cheers > Donna

Re: [Inkscape-devel] CLAMP does not handle NaN correctly

Or should we be safe and wait until > after the release? Some information relevant to the decision: - There are apparently 103 lines containing the word CLAMP in inkscape, including just one definition. ("Word" as in grep -w, so excluding CLAMP_D_TO_U8, NR_CLAMP, etc.) This is a bit much to analyse each one, though of course one could analyse just a few and change just a few. - Both versions are simple macros that evaluate their arguments multiple times. - NR_CLAMP requires that that the bounds be ordered (a <= b), and that neither is NaN. So when deciding whether or not to change a particular call of CLAMP to NR_CLAMP, we might take into consideration whether a,b are constants or not, or how certain we are that a <= b (and that neither is NaN). - glib CLAMP(val, a, b) returns NaN if val is NaN (regardless of the values of a,b); whereas NR_CLAMP returns a for this case[*1]. It seems unlikely that a caller within Inkscape would prefer NaN over a, though it's hard to say. If we don't do it before releasing 0.47, then I'd support doing it after 0.47, even if it were a blind search-and-replace; at least in the common case that a and b are constants and a < b. I see the trade-offs as: - For each individual call, it is likely that changing to NR_CLAMP will either make no functional change (e.g. NaN isn't possible, e.g. it's an int) or will be an improvement. - I would go so far as to say that it's unlikely that any caller will be worse off being changed to NR_CLAMP, and I'd guess that at least one caller will benefit in at least some circumstance (even if rare). - Although I don't follow inkscape bug reports very closely, I would guess that in practice it doesn't often cause serious bugs: because I would guess that any serious bug would have gotten attention and been fixed. (One might regard the current case as evidence either for or against this claim.) - The concern for holding off is of course that we might introduce a bug: maybe there's some code actually ends up behaving better if CLAMP returns NaN than _a, or maybe the slight different macro expansion properties cause a problem, or maybe we make a mistake when changing CLAMP to NR_CLAMP (and we might not notice the mistake if there are 102 callers), or maybe there's some problem I just haven't considered. There's some evidence that any existing bugs from use of CLAMP aren't too serious or common, whereas possibly an introduced bug will be serious (e.g. perhaps making some code not work at all rather than fail only in the rare occasion that NaN is encountered). There isn't much testing time remaining, which reduces the probability that any such serious bug would be found between committing the change and releasing 0.47. One of the changes I made to libnr/nr-macros.h was to make it override any existing definition of CLAMP from glib. Subject to anyone else's comments in the thread, I may revert that aspect of the change, just in case, though I think it should be re-instated after 0.47. pjrm. [*1] I have seen one or two inkscape bug reports whose symptoms indicate that some compiler used under Windows doesn't have correct NaN comparison behaviour. I don't know whether such a bug still exists in current compiler versions or not, or how common such a bug is.

CLAMP does not handle NaN correctly
by Diederik van Lierop 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hi all, While fixing a crash I noticed that the CLAMP macro does not handle NaN properly, although it is stated in its comments that it should ("returns v bounded to within [a, b]. If v is NaN then returns a."). Apparently, if NaN goes in, then NaN comes out :-(. I tried fixing this in the macro but I didn't succeed. Could one of the little-less-inexperienced devs have a look at this? This crash can be reproduced using revision 21793 or older: create a grid, draw a star, and snap both its handles to the same grid intersection. So far so good. Now try drawing a new star somewhere else and watch in horror! The "proportion" parameter of the star has become NaN, and remains NaN although it has been clamped in sp_star_context_set(). If I use this line for debugging (inserted on line 210 of star-context.cpp) std::cout << "CLAMP DOESN'T HANDLE NaN! Before clamping: " << val->getDouble(0.5) << " -> after clamping: " << sc->proportion << std::endl; Then this is what I get: CLAMP DOESN'T HANDLE NaN! Before clamping: nan -> after clamping: nan I fixed this for the star but there might be more instances of this bug. It might however save us some future headaches if someone could fix the CLAMP macro. Regards, Diederik

"Grid" transformations and water imitation
by Pajarico 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hi, I'm drafting a blueprint [1] for simulation of deformations caused by water. What I want to see is something like [2]. I've been trying to achieve it with the envelope effect to no avail, because only the borders can be bent. Photoshop has a tool [3] closer to what I'm looking for. I'm coming to the conclusion that one way would be to deform paths pulling the vertex and intersections of a grid. Now, if my memory is right, we had something like this some time ago but I don't recall its name and is not on the LPE menu on the latest revisions (maybe it was pulled?). Suggestions about how to achieve the water waves effect are welcome. I'm trying to generate a sample of what I'm looking for, but so far inkscape is not helping me with the envelope LPE so I will probably have to resort to manual editing. One of my ideas is to use the named "grid" LPE and plug a list of sub-effects like ripple effect, water waves, horizontal waves, vertical waves... Each mode would present a set of settings, for example: * Ripple: freq, amplitude, position of the generator... * Waves: frequency, amplitude, randomness... * H/V waves: frequency and amplitude...

Strange fill/stroke settings in freehand tools after fresh install
by Maximilian Albert 05 Jul '09

05 Jul '09

Hi, after freshly installing Inkscape (rev. 21524), the Pen/Pencil tools produce lines which are filled black but don't have any stroke. This is very counterintuitive. The small info field in the toolbar (on the right hand side) displays "Fill: None, Stroke: Black (000000/1)" (these are indeed the values specified in preferences-skeleton.h for the freehand tools). However, both in the Fill & Stroke dialog and in the Preferences it says: "Fill: Unset, Stroke: Unset", and this probably explains the strange appearance of the drawn lines. What's happening here? Why are the values in preferences-skeleton.h not correctly taken into account? I think this should definitely be fixed before 0.47. Max

Bug hunt, etc.
by Tavmjong Bah 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi, I haven't seen any bug hunt scores. Are they posted somewhere other than the developer's mailing list? I think having the scores on the developer's mailing list helps stimulate bug fixing as it makes the release more real. I can help with this if given a bit of guidance. I also am having a hard time keeping track of all the details of the release as most are buried in old emails. I propose creating a wiki page listing things like: Release wardens Schedule Bug hunt details Splash screen contest Release candidate builds I can put this together too. Tav

clone behaviour
by jf barraud 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

Hi, Navigating through bug/wishlist reports, I found this old one<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171993>that was declared invalid, but I'd like to discuss a little more. It's about clones behaviour in general. The 'svg' specification is very limiting with this respect, but I think there are svg compilant ways to get more freedom. What I dislike in inkscape/pure svg clones: -color/style management: it's very difficult to have objects share shape but not color. The parent's color has to be set to 'undifined', hence looking black, which generally means you'll have to hide it (as for custom stroke width, dashes..., they require the svg editor!). Moreover, one might want to have some clones share the fill color but have custom stroke, and/or someother share the stroke color but not the fill.This is doable using intermediate clones, but definitely not handy. -transform management: create an object A, create a clone A' of it, put A' in a group G. Now select A and G and rotate them. A' is rotated twice!!! This is definitely non intuitive, and means you'd better move the parent object to a specific layer and never use it directly in your drawing if you don't want to bump into pretty bad situations. -more generally, making a difference between the parent and the clones will always induce unexpected or non intuitive effects. IMO, parent and clones should be prefectly symetric. One naive way to improve this would be to have our own "inkscape:clone" objects of course, and let them behave exactly the way we want. I'd like to suggest another intermediate option. I think svg clones are mainly disgned for "internal" use. My experience is that each time I had to use them, I indeed did end up putting the parent in a separate layer (at least away from the main drawing) and work with clones only. We could automate this process: When an object is cloned, not only the clone is created, but the parent is also moved to a special hidden layer (or in the defs, why not?, or simply hidden) and replaced by another clone. + all visible instance of the "thing" can be manipulated, grouped, transformed, uniformly. + it makes it possible to let the clone inherit only some style properties of the parent: at creation time, the parent's style would be moved to an "inkscape:default_clone_style" attribute, and the style itself would be set to undefined. Inkscape would compare clone's style to the "default_clone_style" to detect user modified properties, and maintain all style changes accordingly. +finally, it would be so nice to be able, whenever the user attempts to node-edit a clone, hide the clone itself, replace it by a temporary copy of the parent, and transfer the modifications to the parent. Of course, there are issues: in particular, the parent may appear as a reference anywhere else in the document. Changing it's style to undifined might have unexpected results. One solution would be to use an intermediate object: an inkscape special object that would be a linked copy of the parent, but have the style attribute set to undefined, and have the clones point to this linked copy. Ok, this might sound too complex. This can be declined in softer versions: for instance, instead of making this automatic and transparent to the user, we could at least offer the possibility *at least offer the user the possibility to automatically move the parent to a separate layer *when the user attempts to set the style of a clone when it does not make sens, suggest either setting the style of the parent or setting the parent's style to undefined and transfer the actual style to all existing clones. What do you think? Cheers, jfb.

svg transformations help
by Axel Huizinga 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

Hi to all, while working on a lightweight svg editor implemented as firefox extension I ran into problem and now need some help to understand the fundamentals of nested svg transformations. The basic matrix concatenations work well but when I start to rotate an element which already has a skew transform applied I got it working well only if I prepend the rotation matrix to the transform... so far good but rotate an element which resides inside of a group things get more complicated. I tried with inkscape and found it will apply a matrix and also change the width and height and even the stroke-width of the rect I used for testing like: <g transform="translate(100,100) skewY(10) skewX(25)" id="g15"> <rect id="skewPath23" x="-222.08493" y="237.81218" onclick="incrementTransform(this)" width="138.00793" height="101.14107" transform="matrix(0.8490597,-0.5282969,0.9708449,0.2397086,0,0)" style="fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:0.5;stroke:#330000;stroke-width:0.35443538" /> </g> works well but how to understand? Is anyone able to explain how this is implemented? Cordially, Axel

Regressions(?) in rendering tests
by Jasper van de Gronde 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

For some reason the rendering test bugs/bug181995.svg now gives a blur that is wider than it is tall (which is not the intended effect). The normal blur test still passes though, so it might have something to do with transforms. I filed a bug at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/395197 In addition livepatheffect/ruler.svg suddenly renders differently (in a relatively subtle way), someone who knows what the intended effect is should have a look to see what's best (I haven't filed a bug). The results of the latest tests can be found at: http://home.hccnet.nl/th.v.d.gronde/inkscape/ResultViewer.html

Xara 5 Object Gallery
by Ivan Louette 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

I am a very long time Xara user (from the time of the first Corel Xara) and some year ago, before being involved in designing filters for Inkscape I designed a lot of brushes for Xara. Gary Priester who wrote the following tutorial is a good friend and a very kind guy : http://outsider.xara.com/tutorials/june09/ In fact I would attract your attention to what seems to be for me the most interesting novelty in Xara Xtreme 5, the Object Gallery. It's one more step to a smart control of the document structure like they already exist in 3D apps. For example the nicest I know is the one of Cinema 4D. ivan

JavaFX support for Inkscape?
by Joshua Marinacci 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Hi Inkscape developers. I'd like to see if there is anyone interested in working on a JavaFX plugin for Inkscape. Please let me introduce myself. I'm Josh Marinacci from the JavaFX engineering team at Sun. JavaFX is our new platform for graphic intensive applications that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux (as well as phones and TVs in the future). Recently there have been threads on a few mailing lists asking for JavaFX support in Inkscape so I thought I'd see if there was anyone in the developer community interested in creating such a plugin. Let me explain what this means. Today we have something called the JavaFX Production Suite, which is a set of plugins for Photoshop and Illustrator. They let you export graphics from those tools and then integrate them in an app you are building, adding animation and event handlers directly to the graphics. I put together a screencast to show you how it works in Photoshop: http://blip.tv/file/2288262 We simply don't have the developer resources to create plugins for tools other than Photoshop and Illustrator, but we also don't want to leave open source and Linux designers out of the loop. We'd love to help some in the Inkscape community build such a plugin. We can provide technical support and specs, and answer questions. I think it would be pretty easy for an experienced Inkscape developer to build such an export plugin. The underlying .FXZ format is basically a zip file containing images and some text metadata similar to XML. It should be pretty easy to generate. It's my understanding that there was a previous effort to create an Inkscape plugin (Silviera Neto was working on it, I think). Is this plugin still under development? If so we'd love to provide any assistance possible. Please let me know if there's any interest. Thanks! Josh

I just realized we should probably mention that Ted and I are being interviewed today on FLOSS Weekly in regards to Inkscape. http://twit.tv/floss It will be streamed live today at 1:30pm on http://live.twit.tv/ but then will go out on the FLOSS Weekly podcast. That usually goes up around the weekend. Hopefully we can bring a bit of attention for Inkscape, the new release, and just possibly interest a few more users to come in and help with final 0.47 testing and bug fixing.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] rotating guides
by LucaDC 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

These are my humble suggestions: 1) when moving the guide (no modifiers) you always also move (and snap) the origin, that goes under the cursor, in 2D (so wherever you click you always grab the guide at its origin: why moving the guide keeping the origin at the original distance from the grab/snapping point?); this behaviour would be consistent (=intuitive) to what happens when you create a guide; 2) if shift is pressed when clicking, the guides always rotate (snapping to what's around or, if you press ctrl after the rotation is started, to absolute angles, i.e. always starting from 0, using the step specified in the preferences for when rotating objects); 3) if ctrl-shift is pressed when clicking, the origin moves constrained to the guide (snapping to what's around projected perpendicularly to the guide; if you want something different you can create a new guide and snap to the intersection, while creating a guide perpendicular to a given one is not always straightforward; this is a general consideration regarding snapping while constrained). 4a) the circle should appear when hovering on the guide (so whenever it becomes selected); or 4b) the circle should appear when you start moving the guide in 2D (so under the cursor), or when a modifier is pressed (but you must select the guide also, to avoid having all the origins of all guides in the drawing appear whenever you press a modifier, maybe for doing something else with another tool); Points 2) and 3) could be implemented as they are now (i.e. you get the two clicking on the guide at different distances from the origin) provided that the cursor and status bar indications change correctly to show the difference (now they don't). This would eliminate the ctrl-shift modifier. I can't decide what is better: modifiers let you select directly the operation you want to perform (which I prefer), but you must know them... :) Luca Diederik van Lierop wrote: > > Hi > > About the guides once again :-) : > > There's still something unintuitive with the guide's origin IMHO.

Now to be more precise again : admitting I work with the future corrected version of Inkscape, I select an object or a picture in my document, I click on a filter in one of the lists in a Filters submenu while the filters.svg file in Inkscape directory is the same than today. Will Inkscape new version add to the filter the instructions needed to display the filter like it displays in Inkscape today ? Sorry, I am a visual person and not a coder (if I could I would... but at the moment no time to go further in this direction I am afraid) and I try to understand the most clearly I can because I must evaluate which kind and amount of work will be needed to adapt the results of my work if necessary.

Any existing work using filters will be rendered differently using other viewers or newer versions of Inkscape. How visible the difference is depends on the type of filter. And since the transfer function is highly non-linear there is really no other fix than adding the color-interpolation-filters="sRGB" property to the affected filters (which will make them look the same in other viewers as in Inkscape). Ivan Louette wrote: > Thanks. In fact my question is simple : will the coding changes to reach compatibility with other viewers and renderers affect the aspect of the already created works using filters, gradients and other features which causes problem ? Of course if doing some changes in filters numerical entries could help I would search actively how to do this, but if the problem stays deeper in Inkscape code I can't do anything.

Inkscape regression files?
by JimmyVolatile 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi, all. Is there any kind of Inkscape regression files that we can use for testing new releases? I'm thinking about a collection of files that systematically incorporates certain kinds of path effects, patterns, color management testing and so on to make eyballing bugs easier. *If there is none, here's my suggestion*: For example, one file would be for testing the new "Path Effect Editor" and could have 10 sample paths which each is using one of the available effects. Beside each path, there's an bitmap to show what the path is supposed to look like which makes it very easy to compare the desired path effect to the actual effect. At the same time, these files would be kinda educational, since the instructions for producing each effect could be written on the canvas right next to the paths. *Here'**s the same type of files for Blender:* http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ "Regression files are .blend examples showing systematically all features we test before doing a release. This is a good reference for bug hunting, but also a valuable demo overview for new users. Blender 2.49 regression suite (50+ demo files):" With regs, Jimmy Volatile

turbulence filters
by jf barraud 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

Hi, Isn't our turbulence filter producing darker output than expected? The attached svg file is borrowed from the w3c test suite, and also contains the expected png output: our render looks draker. I bumped into this trying to use turbulence as a displacement map: the displacement always globaly shifts the image downward and to the right. This is because the avarage value in each turbulence output channel is not 128 but much darker. I think this is a bug... (maybe premuliplied alpha versus normal alpha color mode?) Am I wrong? jfb.

Tweak Tool Colour Jitter - feedback on variance
by microUgly 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

I've been playing with the Tweak Tool in an effort to create something sparkly, like a Disco Ball (but not really). I've given the array of objects some colour then used the Tweak tool to jitter the Luminance. The problem I have is that the jitter effect doesn't come close to covering the full spectrum of luminance values. So the result has a distinct lack of contrast and looks more matte than sparkly. With maximum pressure the range of jitter always pulls towards the middle of the spectrum and instead of getting a range of values between 0 and 255, I get a range between 90 and 150. I find this is true for saturation also. Here's an example (http://yfrog.com/7gjitterrangep): http://www.nabble.com/file/p24178629/jitterrange.png In this picture I started with very light Cyan on the left and very dark cyan on the right (for illustrative purposes). I then used the jitter tool with luminance and saturation modes. The result is pretty much the same for both groups with a relative small range of variance. I may not be thinking correctly about how this feature works. I imagined that greater pressure would create more variance in the spectrum. But it seems like the more pressure you apply, the more it shifts towards the center of the spectrum, but the variance is contained. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tweak-Tool-Colour-Jitter---feedback-on-variance-tp241… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Has the preference file moved again?
by Thomas Worthington 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

The Alt key has stopped working again just recently but the mapalt code seems intact. The last time this happened it was because the default location of the preference file had changed; has that happened again or do I need to start digging through the code?

ICC on color picker
by Felipe Sanches 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

JonCruz, I've been looking at the dropper-context.cpp code. It deals with sRGB colors only. I think that we should be able to pick an ICC color using the color picker. But there are some issues here: 1) the color picker acquires the rendered sRGB image of the document (a NRPixBlock) and colects the color of a single pixel (or an average). These pixels can be the result of compositing various layers of semi-transparent objects. We will need to implement icc-color compositing on our own if we wish to pick an equivalent color in the transformed color space. 2) Colors can be altered by filters, which are calculated in sRGB. So, it wouldnt be possible to pick an equivalent ICC color even when we are trying to pick a color from a filtered object that has an icc color in its fill or stroke. 3) how to deal with compositing of mixed color spaces? I.e. how to mix sRGB with icc transformed colors? Or even... how to mix colors in two (or more) color profiles? This seems to be hard to solve... I'd like to know what's your (JonCruz and Inkscape devel team) opinion on that subject. Juca

OFF-TOPIC: about your mailing list
by Ocetalo 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hi there! I'm a member of a national organization here in Colombia, which is promoting a candidate for next presidential elections. This org has got Groups in several Departaments, and each Group has got several commitees. I'm suggesting them to use a mailing list to enhance communications among commitees, Groups and the whole org. We'd like mailing lists like yours, with a single addres for every list (like your @lists.sourceforge.com) and one list for each commitee (like your inskcape-devel, inkscape-user, inskcape-translator...). I know your list is powered by Mailman, but I'm far from skilled at such. I need something free (we're lacking resources), easy and web based (I have no computer of mine, I work on Cyber-coffees). Could you please help? I really appreciate your opinions.

EAN-13 barcode generation success :-)
by Daniel James 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hi all, Further to the recent bugfix on the generation of EAN-13 barcodes, used for book jackets and many other kinds of product packaging, I wanted to carry out some real-world tests. I printed a real ISBN for a forthcoming book in EAN-13 format on to a sheet of plain 80g/m2 copy paper using Inkscape and an ordinary HP Laserjet 3050 desktop laser printer. I then took the print to my local library, who scanned it for me using their hand-held barcode scanner on the borrowing desk. The library computer recognised the EAN-13 on the first swipe, and decoded it back to a ten-digit ISBN. I'd like to thank all the Inkscape developers for this killer plugin. Cheers! Daniel

Utility of "PLACEHOLDER, do not translate"
by Lucas Vieites 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hi, I'm wondering if the string "PLACEHOLDER, do not translate", which (IIRC) was included for use in the experimental gtkmm interface is still useful. According to the inkscpa.pot file it's used in: #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:330 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:335 #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:343 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:348 #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:353 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:368 #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:381 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:386 #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:400 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:404 #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:412 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:416 #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:420 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:756 #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:761 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:867 #: ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:871 ../src/ui/view/edit-widget.cpp:992 Do not get me wrong, this is merely an "ego thing". If I can't translate this string, the translation will never be 100% ;-) Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites

icc-color on feflood filter
by Felipe Sanches 20 Jun '09

20 Jun '09

I have coded (in my gsoc2009_color branch) icc-color handling in the feFlood SVG Filter. There is no way to set an icc-color for the flood-color parameter in our current filters user interface. But it will properly color-transform an icc-color if it is declared in the SVG file. I have manually edited an SVG file in order to test it. JonCruz, I'd like to ask for your code review of svn revision 21632. Am I doing it right? Should I keep doing it in other portions of the code? Juca

Some insight into crash in EAN13 barcode generator
by Daniel James 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hi all, I was excited to see the barcode generator plugin in Inkscape 0.46, finally I can make my own EAN-13 barcodes for book jacket designs :-) I ran into this bug though, while testing 64 Studio 3.0 beta 3, which is Ubuntu Hardy LTS based. The Inkscape package is the same binary as in Hardy. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/334073 I think I found the cause, a bug in the plugin. If you select Barcode Type as EAN13 and enter 13 digits into the Barcode Data field, which is correct according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Article_Number you get the error as shown in the Launchpad ticket. If you enter any number of digits other than 12 or 13, it warns: Can not encode '97819050823' into EAN13 Barcode, Size must be 12 numbers only No barcode was generated However if you enter the first 12 digits of an ISBN-13, Inkscape will generate a bogus EAN-13 barcode, which will probably not scan in book stores because it has the final checksum digit missing. I think there's been a mix-up between 12 digit UPC barcodes and 13 digit EAN-13 barcodes used for book ISBN's. Sorry if this is too obvious and you knew about the problem already. If anyone has a barcode scanner available, I would love to do some quality control testing on this feature, because once it's printed on the back of the book, it's too late to change :-) Cheers!

Readability of user visible messages
by Alexandre Prokoudine 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hi, It would be great if somebody for whom English is a native language could go through user visible messages and take care of those unclear of them. I'm specifically referring to live paths effects, which is full of things that are difficult to understand. For instance, Celtic Knot has two options: "add stroke width to interruption size" and "add other's stroke width to interruption size". And we still have a lot of places where it's not clear in what units of measure the function works. "Fuse nearby ends" in Pattern Along Path LPE is one of them. Varios SVG Filter primitives too... Would be great to have that sorted out before strings freeze. Alexandre

po files update and string freeze date
by Lucas Vieites 16 Jun '09

Hi, I was browsing the svn tree through the web (to get the last es.po file) and I saw that 14 hours ago there was an update to "inkscape.pot" but the last "make inkscape.pot && update_po_files.sh" was three weeks ago. Now, I know that this is done regularly to keep the po files merged but, as release date approaches maybe it would be a good idea to run the script more often (at least after every update of the main pot file). Also, the RoadMap here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap has no dates but I remember having seen a roadmap with dates. Does that still exist? or was it my imagination? It would be nice to have a dated roadmap (even with approximate dates) in order to plan translation updates. Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites

Split text extension
by Karlisson 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hello, I've updated my split text extension! See more details in: http://nerdson.com/bin/split/ It doesn't split flowed texts. I couldn't put the splitted elements in the same position they were before (because of the way flowedText data is organized), so I decided to not support this type of element in the extension. I'd like to know if there's a way to get the X and Y of a flowed text. Apparently they are determined by the position of the flowing shape... I'd like you to test it and if possible, put it on 0.47.

More Font Selection Fun
by Thomas Worthington 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

If a font (such as Helvetica - quite a common font) has a "Medium" weight then selecting this in the "Text and Font" dialog box correctly changes the preview text but as soon as one clicks on "apply" "medium" is changed to "bold" and the font set accordingly. Similar things happen with "medium oblique" which becomes "bold oblique". svn 21529 Gentoo Linux TW -- Thomas Worthington Tech Nouveau 32 Bangor Road Groomsport BT19 6JF 07748 792333

NEW: font family list usability
by bulia byak 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

The usability of the font family drop-down list in the Text tool controls bar has been improved: it no longer steals focus, all keyboard shortcuts work as designed (Alt+X to access the family control, Alt+down to open the drop-down list, arrows to move in the list, Enter to set chosen font) and the completion feature works (start typing a family name and a pop-up list with possible completions appears). Remaining problems that may be fixed in the future versions: * The first opening of the drop-down list of family names may be slow if you have many fonts installed (the delay is Inkscape generating the previews for all fonts). * By default on Linux, the drop-down is shown as a menu (gray background, wide panel without horizontal scrolling) instead of a list (white background, narrow panel with horizontal scrolling). The menu style is inconvenient because of its excessive width. To fix this, find your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file and inside the style that applies to all widgets, add GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1. For example: style "user-font" { font_name="DejaVu Sans 10" GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1 } widget_class "*" style "user-font" Windows version uses the list style by default. I should add that, after several days of tweaking this, starting from a patch by Felipe, I hate GTK more than ever. Its inconsistent behavior across platforms, poor configurability (can anyone please suggest how the list style can be set programmatically, not via an rc file? this style property is read-only in GTK!) and ambiguous documentation are really a shame. In the end I fixed everything except the above listed issues, using a few weird tricks but nothing really insane (standard GTK widgets only), and I think it should be good enough to release in 0.47. If and when someone comes up with a more advanced solution, it must be at least as good usability-wise as this one. I tested it on Linux with GTK 2.15.4 and on Windows XP. Please report any problems to me, listing your platform and GTK version. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

clipboard

Hi, According to ChangeLog last July there was support for Windows clipboard introduced. However on Linux copy/paste of paths still doesn't work between instances and Inkscape doesn't seem to announce it sent something to clipboard for other apps as well. GIMP does support pasting SVG paths from clipboard, but ironically the only application that is supposed to do that in fact doesn't do it. Amusing, eh? :) So, what can we do? Alexandre

LGM 2010 - Vote on proposal
by Louis Desjardins 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hi, Several location were mentioned for LGM 2010, but only one has lead to a formal proposition. After the few mails we have read on this list, we now propose that we have a vote if we accept it or not. LGM would take place in Brussels, May 6-9 2010, hosted by the local non-profit organisation Constant, represented by Femke Snelting. The details of this proposal and the discussions around it have all been posted on the Create Mailing List. So, before announcing this officially, we need a clear support from the LGM participating teams. You are the heart of LGM! :) Your dedicated LGM organisers would like to move forward asap with an enthusiastic support on the decision. Please speak up now! :) Cheers!

version details
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

I was fixing the bug about the svg version attribute not always being written, and came across two issues. The first is minor, but the second is one for a bit of collaboration. First is that I found our default version we've been adding is "1.0". Thus we end up with <svg = "1.0", whereas it really needed to be updated to "1.1". That bit of code has not been touched since Mental first imported things, so I'm very sure it is just an oversight. The second is that we are still adding this to every file: sodipodi:version="0.32" Is it safe to remove that now? I'm pretty sure we don't need to keep compatibility with SodiPodi anymore. I'd like to be about to clean up our use of the "sodipodi" namespace altogether... but that is really a large and involved task and most likely not one for now.

UC 1.1.4 is out
by Alexandre Prokoudine 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi, UniConvertor 1.1.4 is out and among other things (PLT importer/exporter, which is useful to plotters users among our users) it features win32 build with VisualStudio 2008 which specifically addresses some of Inkscape's concerns :) It would be great if our Win packagers started using 1.1.4 from now on. Do you want me to create .inx for PLT? Alexandre

Hi! Sorry I might be missing something but I have not seen an official "string freeze" announcement. It seems like today is branching day? Would commits of translations be OK after today? Thanks. Marcin Floryan

multiple desktop use cases
by Glimmer Labs 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Do you ever use multiple Inkscape windows simultaneously (or know people that do?) If so, how, and under what circumstances? I am working on an Inkscape scripting API through GSoC and am trying to decide how to abstract the desktop concept. I would like to do this for two reasons. One, if it is not at least partially hidden virtually every method would need a desktop argument, incresing complexity without much tradoff in terms of flexibility. Two, the concept is not one that I think script writers should need to worry about and the terminoligy only makes it more confusing for the uninitiated. Of course I'm not everyone and so I want to get opinions on how working with multiple desktops simultaniously is useful for people so I can figure out how much functionality to expose. When I have a draft layout of the API finished (soon) I will ask for more general feedback on use cases people feel are not supported. Thank you for your feedback, -Soren Berg

fenv.h, fmin, fmax
by Jeremy C. Reed 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Using inkscape-21256 snapshot (because release version has bug causing core dump when attempting to change fill color as reported numerous times). src/display/nr-arena-shape.cpp has #include <fenv.h> But I don't see any use of floating-point definitions, FE* macros, or fe*() functions. I commented that line out and inkscape built fine. (Also some platforms don't have any fenv.h.) Also src/live_effects/lpe-dynastroke.cpp uses fmin and fmax. Some platforms don't have that. So I added to src/live_effects/lpe-dynastroke.cpp : #define fmin(a,b) ((a)<(b)?(a):(b)) #define fmax(a,b) ((a)>(b)?(a):(b)) Also work/inkscape-21256/src/display/nr-filter.cpp refers to fmax but it is commented out.

hackmeeting @milan 19->21 June 2009
by Carlo Frinolli | nois3lab 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi all, I'm here writing you and you don't know me yet. :) Probably you might have read about my company: nois3lab. Well my workmate in particular set up the website you may have heard about: inkscapegallery.net. Now it's time (well you know we're kinda late, but... forget it :P) to show it proudly to the world. So we're going to this year italian hackmeeting to have some workshops about this. Showing why inkscape, why free software, why drupal and so on. But obviously we wanted to talk about the real topic, which is inkscape. And we thought: who better that its developer could? So, here I am: there will be some of you guys who want to come and take a workshop about the software itself? The roadmap, the status, the choices. It'll be of great pleasure for us all. Btw this years' saturday session will be focused on free software graphics, and video with some gimp sessions, some cinelerra's and pureData's... Here's the website http://it.hackmeeting.org and the wiki on which we're planning the meeting http://www.hackmeeting.org/_wiki/ Down here some info about hackmeeting. ---- The Hackmeeting was born in 1998 as the time and place for Italian and international digital counterculters, hackers and activists to share ideas, discuss projects and plan strategies on cyber-rights, electronic tools for struggling and alternative views of society. In 10 years it has been organized in Florence, Milan, Rome, Catania, Bologna, Genova, Torino, Naples, Pisa, Palermo and Parma. Every year it has been participated by hundreds of people, each one contributing to the event with debates, projects, software, concerts, talks, and a lot more. This year the hackmeeting is back in Milan, in the neighbourhood that will be swept away by the 2015 International Exposition projects. Our slogan will be: Hack your fear! Build your future! Hackmeeting is a story twelve years old. Hackmeeting has been born in 1998 and has been hold every year since that date, all over Italy, from north to south, in Florence, Milan, Rome, Bologna, Turin, Pisa, Genoa, Naples, Palermo, Catania, Parma. It has gathered nerds, cyber activists, geeks, techies, but also anyone who cared to subscribe to a general definition of hacking as changing one's own life to suit one's own desire, overcoming limit and borders, self-managing tools and spaces. The Hackmeeting has always focused on open hardware and free software, on digital countercultures, economies without capital, free speech against repression, and tried to point out the evolution and the impact of computers and electronic communication on the information system and on all of our lives. Hackmeeting offers workshop, conferences, spontaneous discussion, cyber art performances, and much more. Each proposed activity, though, is meant as one of the facet of a philosophical framework based on sharing, openness, decentralization, free access, human evolution, and aimed at a political outcome. Hackmeeting is organized by a community of hackers unique in the world for its desire to funnel the hacker ethics into political activism, far beyond the limits of the technological environment. The Hackmeeting community thinks hacking is a tool to alter reality and society as a whole. The Hackmeeting is usually a three-days long event and it's completely self-organized through an open and non-moderated mailing list (https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/hackmeeting ) and wiki (http://hackmeeting.org/_wiki/index.php?title=Pagina_principale ), as well as local live meeting in the city which will hold the next edition. It often takes place in social centers, community spaces, and squats, to stress the close relationship between hacking and the underground political scene. (http://aia.mahost.org/pro_spaces.html) The first two days are dedicated to workshop, conferences and debates. The third is usually dedicated to a big plenum, where all the participants analyse new ideas and possibilities pointed out during the meeting, sum up all the event and reflects and examines projects for the next future. For the first time in 2009 Hackmeeting is going to be splitted in two parts, to reach as many people as possible: Warm up and Hackmeeting. Warm up is a series of events which will take place in various univerisities in Milan (Accademia di belle arti di Brera, Fisica, Bovisa, Bicocca, Scienze politiche, and Cascina Torchiera), between june 9th and 18th. They will be open conferences presented by researchers, experts, activists on ethics and hackers culture issues as hacking and net art history, open source, fear embedded societies, security and control, open design e 3D animation, peer to peer economy, ecohacking (hacker approach to ecology). The Hackmeeting itself will take place in Sos Fornace, Rho (sosfornace.org) from june 19th to 21st: three days of workshops, lan space, sharing, meetings, discussions on free software, code, net neutrality, peer to peer and also digital countercultures, economies without capital, free speech against repression. Dedicated to the people who have adopted a critical and proactive approach towards the advancement of new technologies -- which are more and more tied to social control, the business of war and the commercialization of every vital space. Three days of workshops, games, parties, debates, exchanges and most of all, collective learning.

slow selection frame redraw
by Alexandre Prokoudine 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi, A question asked out of curiosity. Currently when you draw a rubberband selection rectangle over an area where obhects have SVG Filters applied, especially with a Gaussian blur primitive, speed of redrawing the rectangle gets noticeably slower. Why is that? Alexandre
