Read the docs Manual administrative backup
by Maren Hachmann 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

Hi everyone, can you help by volunteering as an administrative backup for the beginners' guide at https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io ? (as there's no official project email address, I'm not sure how else to make sure that someone else has access there, too) What I'd need from you is your readthedocs.org user name. Currently, that position comes without any additional work, as I'm able to take care of what needs to be done. It is only a backup thing, as there's currently a bus factor of 1. I'd like to have at least two other persons in the project registered with it. Thank you! Maren

Inkscape 1.0-beta2 release
by Marc Jeanmougin 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Hi everyone! We are quickly approaching the long-awaited 1.0 release of Inkscape, and to allow easier testing of the progress we've made with it, we just released a 1.0-beta2 version! You can get the release at https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0beta2/ in the form of source tarball to compile, AppImage for Linux, and .dmg for macOS (windows soon). The most visible changes should be : - MacOS Catalina users should be able to manipulate files - More responsive interface (faster rendering) - Improved text rendering All testers are encouraged to test this version and report bugs at inkscape.org/report The release date for 1.0 is not set in stone yet, but if we don't get major bug reports I expect a release around the end of December. == Translators == Thanks for your work! Strings have been frozen for a while, and it's not too late to submit translations until release date. == Developers == We have now branched the code repo. The new branch 1.0.x now only welcomes bugfixes, translations and easy-to-review changes; while features, performance, code improvements, or anything that was left waiting in prevision of 1.1 are free to go to the master branch. == All contributors == All Inkscape contributors (be it with development, translation, Vectors (outreach), documentation, UX research, etc) are encouraged to vote in the About Screen contest before Dec 15th! Thanks all! -- Marc

Fwd: Participation to GameDev room at FOSDEM
by Julian Murgia 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

Hello, I am a member of Godot Engine's organization team for FOSDEM. We have been granted with a "Game Developers" room at FOSDEM, taking place in Brussels, Belgium, on February 1st and 2nd 2020. Even though we proposed this developers room, it will be about "*Free and Open Source Game Development"* at large and not focused on Godot Engine. Thus, we are calling for participations aimed at Free Softwares projects, involved closely or less closely in game development. These participations would consist in technical-oriented presentations during the GameDev room: game developers, game engine developers, tools developers are very welcome. Inkscape has grown into a big actor in drawing softwares recently, thanks to the boost of SVG usage in multiple target applications. In the case of game development, we also observe an increasing interest from creators with such format and Inkscape is definitely the biggest actor in this regard. We'd be very interested to discuss your plans and your needs regarding Inkscapeevolution towards game development tooling. You'll find some details on our past news post: https://godotengine.org/article/cfp-game-development-room-fosdem-2020. If you wish, you can of course respond to this mail for more precisions before applying on FOSDEM's Pentabarf. Waiting for your reply, Best regards, ---- Julian Murgia Godot Engine PLC

Hi Ben, reporting and triaging bugs is a valuable contribution. The project measures bug contributions by their number, completeness and general helpfulness. This works just like it does with our developer contributions, where code commits must be made towards the repository, and verified by other developers in order to make it into the AUTHORS list (list of Inkscape code and translation contributors) and to have the right to vote. We would like to count your vote, though. To do so, we have to see more bug-related contributions, e.g. bug triage in the tracker at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/, or bug migration contributions as per http://alpha.inkscape.org/bug-migration/ . If you are using alternate usernames, be sure to mention all the names you work under (sometimes we can't find all the work people do due to different nick names). Thank you for all the work that you've done for Inkscape. Regards Maren Am 02.12.19 um 13:52 schrieb Ben Griffin: > Sorry Maren, I will explain.. > > For Inkscape, so far, I have been a bug reporter.

spam in the mailing list

Hi Friends, I've noticed a lot of spam in the mailing list lately. Should the mailing lists be somehow linked in with website moderation? Or is there some other way? One way or another, I would ask this spam to be somehow controlled. Even just the 3 or 4 messages I've seen lately, are far too many. Thanks for listening. brynn

Re: Inkscape 1.0 course for LinkedIn Learning
by Bryce Harrington 22 Nov '19

Hi Mike, Thanks for contacting me, and double-thanks for your work at helping increase the number of Inkscape exprts. It's lovely to see the solid health of the overall ecosystem around Inkscape. It is indeed exciting to know 1.0 is coming soon, and having your tutorials available and up to date in conjunction with this release is a great goal. Inkscape is a 100% free and open source software project, and as such there's no NDAs or confidentiality agreements to deal with. (Although yes, the actual release date is sometimes embargoed to synchronize PR with packaging. But I suspect you're looking for a general estimate not the exact date.) That said, unfortunately it is difficult to predict when releases will occur with any degree of accuracy. Inkscape is a fully volunteer-driven project, and as such when there are release-critical issues the schedule can be driven by particular individuals' limited freetime availability. I hate to say, "It'll be released when it's ready to," but that's how it has always tended to end up working in practice... Due to my own limited time availability, I've handed off the release management role to Mc, who hopefully can provide some better indications about the timeframes for 1.0. I do know that the team has been hard at work at final polish, and it sounds like they're keen to get it out the door within the coming months. Beyond that, I'm not sure if you're aware, but there is a vibrant Inkscape community involved with documentation, user training, and support. They coordinate with book authors, conference organizers, and online instructors. I would encourage you to join this group, as it sounds like you're offering educational opportunities within that same space. Hopefully Maren or one of the others active in these areas can contact you with an invitation. Thanks again for your work at supporting the Inkscape ecosystem, and I hope 1.0 will bring increased opportunities for us all to spread wider knowledge of this software.

Hi folks, C Rogers, thanks for your reply. > Inkscape is a different program than Illustrator. Of course. It should be better than Illustrator, and it’s got some great features already. If you thought that was what I expected, with respect, your assumption was mistaken. > (1) Surprise Quit >> This is one thing that's just plain different about Inkscape…. Nope. It’s pretty normal for some operating systems, such as windows, where a window is an application. Not so on MacOS, where a window is (most times) merely a document within the application. It may be that you have not used MacOS much. Try opening any application on MacOS. Close the window - guess what? You have not closed the application. Not even with MS software. Why? Because to do so is a bug on MacOS. There’s nothing unique about Inkscape - it’s just either arrogance or laziness. Okay, so you’ve chosen to use a document window as your application root, and you don’t want to refactor your code to suit the UI guidelines of different OS - so, there is a is a 'lazy' way available to you - look at eg, GarageBand - which is a window-centred application. It starts, either with the last project, or it gives you a ‘choose a project to open/create new) window. You could do that. Not doing that is breaking your port to MacOS. Otherwise, it's a bug. > (2) Location of preferences menu item. > 1) BUG - Preferences is in the Edit menu rather than in the ‘Inkscape’ menu >> Inkscape is cross platform, which means that there may or may not be an Inkscape menu at all, which is a MacOS convention Again, this is laziness or arrogance, and it’s a bug. You telling me that Adobe software isn’t cross platform? Even if there is no ‘Inkscape Menu’, there’s the File menu - which is where I look for preferences. Why? Because “File” is about Files - ie, documents, - so yes, project settings, project preferences, they belong under File. Apple subsequently decided (imo correctly) that Application level preferences should be under the application. Again, go into any MacOS application that has and edit menu - and look to see what is there. ‘Preferences' isn’t one of them. It’s a bug. You may think this is merely my opinion. What you are forgetting is that there is a uniform approach to application user interface on MacOS. Every single time you make a decision to break the UX guidelines, you increase the complexity of your application, and you lose thousands - even hundreds of thousands - of potential users; you may think it’s an opinion of mine - but go look at the available UX / UI guidelines published by Apple (and Xerox before them), along with the absolutely vast budget they put into it, in order to make MacOS ‘easy’. So if you want a niche geek product, ignore what I say or just decide it’s a WONT-FIX / NOT-A-BUG. I will still use it. But I know plenty of people who will just say ‘I tried it, and it didn’t work’. Lastly, I was asked by your own documentation, to report bugs to inkscape-dev, which is what I did. If you now want me to post bugs on https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues <https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues>, the answer is sorry, bud., I did what was asked of me. I truly would like to see Inkscape become a killer app on Mac OS. But if your hearts are not into it, and you just want to keep it on Linux, fine - I’m all for free community driven software on community driven machines - it’s what I get paid to do, which is super cool. On the other hand, if you are committed to making Inkscape truly cross-platform, you have to make it conform to those platform’s own guidelines and conventions, otherwise it’s just a bad port for niche geeks like me. -B.

8 Bugs - 1.0beta1 (32d4812, 2019-09-19) (New User - Mac OS Catalina)
by Ben Griffin 16 Nov '19

16 Nov '19

Being a new user, I’m writing here, as requested by /contribute/report-bugs/ I’m one of what is probably several who have abandoned Adobe Illustrator after Adobe decided not to patch their older versions to work on 64bits. IMO the first four bugs I mention here are so major that many first time users will decide not to use InkScape again, which is unfortunate as it’s a really great app. Using vanilla 1.0beta1 on MacOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88) with default preferences set. (1) Surprise Quit 1) Open Inkscape. 2) Close ‘New document 1’ 3) BUG - Inkscape has now quit. There is no reason why the application should depend upon the existence of a document window. (2) Location of preferences menu item. 1) BUG - Preferences is in the Edit menu rather than in the ‘Inkscape’ menu Actually, many items in the Edit menu, which are to do with application level settings, should be in the Inkscape Menu. (3) Surprise Preferences panel dimensions. 1) Open Inkscape. 2) Open the preferences panel. 3) BUG - The panel height stretches across the entire vertical size of the screen, with no ‘preference tab’ content that deep. The panel width is unusually narrow, with some form elements being clipped by the panel. (Eg, System, Interface) Moreover, the nested tree is surprising, with the higher nodes (eg behaviour) showing minimal details, with no documentation / hints whatsoever. (4) Panel/Dialog focus problems. 1) Open Inkscape. 2) Open the preferences panel. 3) Drag the preferences panel so that the traffic light (close / minimise / zoom) sit over the centre of ‘New document 1’ 4) Click once on the RED (close) traffic light. 5) BUG - Focus is transferred to ’New document 1’ and the preference panel fades. (See following cropped screenshot). (5) New ellipse uses previous ellipse controls. 1) Open Inkscape. 2) Give focus to ‘New document 1’ 3) Create a ‘pacman’ using the (very cool) pie tool. 4) Deselect, and draw a new ellipse. 5) BUG- (By default) the new ellipse is the pacman, not a new ellipse. 6) BUG- (If you believe that 5 is the correct behaviour) a single click with the ’ellipse tool' SHOULD generate the identically dimensioned previous shape at the mouse position. 7) Both of the above behaviours should be controlled by preferences. There is a ’style’ preference available, but default style and default shape are different. (6) Outline Display Mode Outline Display should (or should be set by preference) show polygon/object centres. (7) Measurement Tool (Language). It’s the first time I’ve heard of a starting measurement point being called a Knot. If you are going to use specialised language, provide a strong hint as to what that is. (8) Font sample text. Nearly all fonts include a sample text to show / highlight the font. Your font dialog does not use that, doesn’t provide a preference to allow for it. Many font names are incorrect, and likewise do not always show the correct sample (because the InkScape characters are not always represented) See ‘Baghdad’ as an example below (with Font Book overlay)

Inkscape for dinosaur track research, questions
by Jens Lallensack 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Dear all, I am palaeontologist at the University of Bonn, Germany, focusing on fossil dinosaur footprints and trackways. I regularly use Inkscape for my research (for measuring, data extration, and drawing of interpretive outlines), and have cited this software in several of my papers. I am currently working on a methodological paper on how to analyze fossil footprints based on 3D models. The approach I will present in this paper includes Inkscape as an important component. The idea is to import raster images into Inkscape (different graphical 2D representations of the 3D model), align them into an image stack, and draw interpretive outlines on a separate layer. I use the Bezier curves tool to collect a number of landmark coordinates from the separate footprints, which I then export to automatically calculate a large number of measurements for statistical analysis. The paper is to be published in a peer-revied journal (currently, I have the Journal of Palaeontological Techniques in mind, https://www.jpaleontologicaltechniques.org/). I already used this method in a recent paper (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02724634.2018.1512501) to rapidly collect measurements of a larger number of trackways. The aim of the new methodological paper is to improve this method and to make it available to our comunity of footprint researchers. However, there are two open issues/questions regarding Inkscape. I was wondering if you could give me some advice here. Export of path node coordinates is, unfortunately, currently possible only via a plugin, which adds an additional hitch (but I understand that research is not the focus of Inkscape). Such a plugin was posted on the Inkscape Forum in 2011, with improvements added by different members (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02724634.2018.1512501). I simplified the code so that it returns node coordinates only (and not those of the handles), see code below. Now to my questions: 1) I need to cite the modified coord export script in my paper, and make sure that it stays available. I assume that code published in the forum is not automatically released under a free licence, and that I cannot simply distribute the script together with the paper. A possibility might be to post the modified script to the forum and provide the link in the paper. This is only an option if the link remains available for a longer time (I cannot modify the paper once published). What would be the optimal way? 2) The coordinates given by the script need to be mirrored and translated to match the coordinates displayed within Inkscape itself. I would need to improve the script so that this is done automatically. I'm not into python scripting, but would try to figure this out. Any help/hints with this would be much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards, Jens Lallensack ----- xyexport.py ------- #!/usr/bin/env python import inkex import sys import simpletransform import cubicsuperpath class TemplateEffect(inkex.Effect): def __init__(self): inkex.Effect.__init__(self) def effect(self): for node in self.selected.iteritems(): output_all = output_nodes = "" for id, node in self.selected.iteritems(): if node.tag == inkex.addNS('path','svg'): output_all += "" output_nodes += "" simpletransform.fuseTransform(node) d = node.get('d') p = cubicsuperpath.parsePath(d) for subpath in p: for csp in subpath: output_nodes += str(csp[1][0]) + "\t" + str(csp[1][1]) + "\n" sys.stderr.write(output_nodes) effect = TemplateEffect() effect.affect()

String and Feature freeze
by Marc Jeanmougin 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Hi devs and translators ! Just to make it official, we are now in feature and string freeze : - New features that have any possibility of having a bug or to need testing will be postponed to post-branching time - Any modification to strings will need to be approved and will need an email to translators ML - Dev focus should ideally be given to bugfixing ;) @Translators : the pot file should now be stable, as Maren indicated a few hours ago (only two strings changed since then), sorry for the changes Thanks all for your involvement in this release! -- Mc

Is this a known issue? (and the dumbest bug ever)
by Josh Andler 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

I searched the bug tracker (perhaps using language that was too specific) but I couldn't find a report... Is a path using dashes with rounded caps supposed to ignore the rounded caps when you convert Stroke to Path? It visually does it right with butt or square caps, but rounded caps get converted as butts from how it appears. I'm seeing this in both stable and trunk and it seems... like an odd oversight. Anyone else have thoughts? Cheers, Josh

Mailman3 outage
by Bryce Harrington 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

The mailman3 list server was offline the past week, due to troubles it had delivering email to administrative user accounts. This generated excessive error logging to disk. I'm not 100% sure this is root caused but after clearing the queue it seems to be running happily again. I'll try and keep a closer eye on it. Bryce P.S. there's still a problem with some people unable to subscribe to the mailing lists; I doubt this change will fix chat, so this problem is still on the todo list.

Re: Beta-blockers ?

Hi Marc, thanks for planning this thoroughly! Answers below. Am 12.08.2019 um 21:13 schrieb Marc Jeanmougin: > == Extensions (Martin, Patrick, others) == > > What is the state of extensions (#156) ?

While Martin and others did (and are still doing) a great job on the bundled Python extensions I'm currently working on the extension implementation in Inkscape itself. I just finished one big part (.inx format updates and the internal logic in Inkscape to parse preferences/parameters form it while also creating nice GUIs) which is ready for review at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/808 As Martin already mentioned translations are basically handled as before (still use inkscapes .pot/.po files), only the way we mark strings for translation in the.inx changed. Once the MR is merged it will be a trivial job to update the .inx files with some search&replace, although the code should be fully backwards-compatible to earlier .inx files. Regarding splitting the translations of extensions into the extension repo (and also allowing third-party extensions to ship their own translations): The current MR implements the syntax, but the actual functionality is not included yet. However I realized while working on it, that I already have done most of the required refactoring, minimizing the effort that remains for finishing the feature. If we feel like this is a welcome feature for 1.0 already, we can probably implement it in time instead of delaying it until 1.1 as I initially planned. I'm starting to think that this would actually be nice, as we can offer a finished feature in 1.0 instead of just syntax for a feature that is not implemented yet. > == Gtk General interface stuff (all) == > > Do we still have interface problems like toolbars not showing up or > menus needing two clicks, or anything of the sort, on any platform ? Is > #195 still reproducible ? I'm not aware of anything specific right now that prevents usage. In general there's still a fundamental "glitchiness" to gtk3 on Windows, but I'm afraid that's just how gtk3 works on Windows these days. We'll certainly get some questions about it, but I wouldn't know what to do to significantly improve this until the release. > == Packaging (RdH, Patrick, others) == > > Approximately how much work is still needed for macOS stable dmg > production or windows packaging ? > > What happens with the ubuntu bionic "dependency wait" ? ( > https://launchpadlibrarian.net/437056488/buildlog.txt.gz ) Updating our existing Windows packaging for 1.0 should be easy (once I can motivate myself to do it). I always planned to look into cpack and investigate if it can produce proper installers, so we might eventually get rid of our own packaging and reduce the overhead of maintaining it, but that might need some more work. > == Performance (all) == > > Do we still have these massive performance problems as soon as the > Objects dialog (or XML ?) has been opened ? I'm not aware anybody pushed a fix? Didn't retest, though. Apart from that performance stil lseems worse than 0.92.x (at least on Windows), but also here I wouldn't really know what to do. It's usable, but it's not good. One particular performance issue (I know there were multiple reports, but not sure we have an actual issue for it and GitLab throws 500 errors at me): Selecting a new font takes a very long time (a few seconds at least, some take 10-20 seconds). Not sure if this is exclusive to Windows? It does not happen in 0.92.x, though (with the same version of fontconfig/harfbuzz/pango/...), so it's either something we're doing, or something gtk3 is doing differently from gtk2. I think performance wasn't always bad in master, though. I think it started either with the variable fonts support or after the SPStyle refactor. > > == Text (Tav, Jabier, others) == > > How usable is the text tool ?

I've handled most of the technical side and meant to make a call for help at some point, but didn't get the chance to do it yet. Once content is updated I typically copy the CI-generated files manually and push the update to the inkscape repo. Basically this can wait till shortly before 1.0, but we can certainly schedule a preliminary update for the beta(s). Cheers, Patrick

Beta-blockers ?
by Marc Jeanmougin 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

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 ? -- Mc

opening new forum this week
by brynn 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

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 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

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

moderators need ability to curate the description in gallery
by brynn 14 Jul '19

14 Jul '19

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

help setting up gl notifications
by brynn 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

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

Information Request
by stephen.lohning＠oxnee.com 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

I would like to develop an extension to start with in python 3+ on windows, and I am not very sure of where to start. I just read the extension requirements which said the extensions need python 2. It also said that it was a little out of date. If need be I would be willing to modify it for python 3. I have programmed C/ C++ and half a dozen other languages over the years, my main problem is that I don't have a compiler for Window. I do have a Centos 7 machine which I could set up a dev environment, but my use is on a windows system. My aim is to do away with my need for MS Visio which I don't like very much and do my drawing parametrically. Regards Stephen

upcoming opening of new Inkscape forum
by brynn 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

Hi Friends, The Inkscape website will be opening a new forum in August 2019. The primary purpose of the forum will be providing support for Inkscape, but it will serve the whole project and community, in whatever way it can. It will function in much the same way that InkscapeForum.com (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/index.php) and Inkscape Community's forum (https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?action=forum) currently do. Concurrently to opening the new forum, Inkscape Community's forum will essentially close. All of its forum traffic will be diverted to the new forum (although its tutorials and other resources will remain available). Since the Inkscape project has lost contact with the owner of InkscapeForum.com we assume it will remain open. Please make plans to change your forum bookmarks, and to visit the new forum in August. If you're not already registered on the Inkscape website, you will need to register. Once you're logged in to the website, you're also logged in to the forum. We will be thrilled to welcome you, and to provide the same quality of support you're accustomed to! Here is the link to the new forum. Although please note that posting will not be allowed until August. But you can look around and see everything about how it works, except for posting a message. https://inkscape.org/forums/ If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. All best, brynn

Profiling Inkscape startup performance
by octycs 08 Jun '19

08 Jun '19

Hello everyone, While I'm an Inkscape user for some years now, I'm fairly new to it from a developer point of view. In terms of performance, I've been recently doing some analysis with the help of cpu profiling tools. My aim in this mail is to present some of the things I noticed and maybe some ideas how to improve them. The tools I've been using are the gperftools and more recently the linux performance tool `perf` together with FlameGraphs (Disclaimer: Since I've been using them for the first time I don't have a deep knowledge about them). Both tools can capture the stack at a timed interval, so it is possible to estimate how much time is spent in different functions. These can be visualized for example by a flame graph which I found quite handy. In theses graphs the x-axis shows the stack records alphabetically sorted (not chronologically) and if possible merged. The y-axis shows the call stack. Recording the startup of Inkscape just until before the Window shows up[1] results in the attached results[2]. The original file is an SVG file (Note: This is a large interactive SVG and primarily intended to be opened in a browser[3]). By looking at the result I identified some parts that might be of interest (See annotated PNG file). - A - (100ms): Based on some individual function calls (e.g. get_preferred_width) I assume this is related to the layout calculations. Noteworthy is here that the stack mostly has a depth of up to 80-90 frames. I don't know whether this is usual for gtk, but for me this looks like the calculation of the layout might get very complex. Maybe it is possible in some places to simplify the layout (I'm referring e.g. to [4]). While this part only takes around 100ms in this record, the actual impact could be larger because the recording stops just before the window shows up. However, even after it shows there is a noticeable delay until it gets responsive. - B - (170ms): This part is the setup of the toolboxes at the top. I find interesting here that with the exception of the TextToolbar, each Toolbar only takes 5-10ms to load, but because there are so many of them, they sum up over 100ms (again without the TextToolbar). One idea I'll therefore try to look into in the next time is whether it is possible to lazy-load them, so that the GUI relevant initialization only runs as soon as required (when the tool is used the first time). Since most toolbars initialize in up to 10ms the delay is insignificant when clicking on a tool. - C and D - (65ms / 80ms): These relate to the initialization of the menu resp. the DesktopWidget. I haven't had a much closer look yet, but both take longer than I assumed. There might be some optimizations possible as well (e.g. I noticed SwatchesPanel::_rebuild is called at least twice, each running nearly 20ms). - E - (260ms): The last section is about loading the extensions. I don't know a lot about the extensions system now and the future plans, but I also wouldn't have expected this part to take that much time. - Looking further - The attached recording of the startup here is of course only a part of interesting parts for optimization (And there are also a lot of parts that I cannot identify with certainty). One second aspect I want to look more into is for example the fill and stroke dialog, which takes up to 600ms to load (not part of the attached profiling) because all marker images are expensively loaded and rendered as SPObjects at runtime. And if it is open on startup this time adds up to the delay before the window even shows up. -- All in all I admit that this a rather chaotic collection of maybe or maybe not promising parts for performance optimizations. This surely only touches the surface of possible analysis and improvements, but I wanted to share this early because maybe you have some ideas as well (or there were some things done in the past that I don't know of). If you have any feedback I'd appreciate it a lot. Best regards, octycs [1] I did this by calling exit just before `InkscapeApplication::window_open` returns. [2] The results still have parts that are marked as "[unknown]". I tried solving this by passing "-fno-omit-frame-pointer" (see FlameGraph documentation for more), but this did not have an effect. Though this could also be because cmake automatically re-ran when I started building.

Build time vs. Dev time extensions
by unknown＠example.com 08 Jun '19

08 Jun '19

Dear developers, Thanks to Tav's for his excellent hackfest overview which related general annoyance about extensions, it pointed to Uniconvertor being a particular issue. I'm sorry I wasn't at the meeting to talk about the issues around packaging extensions more directly. So I'm hoping this email can fill in for that and get some of the information I would have conveyed at the meeting. I won't speak to the API breaking, since Thomas and others have done very good work making sure that the API has greater backwards compatibility and is much less likely to break in older code. (now) But the specific issue here is about how we ship different extensions. There has historically been a fixed relationship between the `share/extensions` directory and what we ship. When we moved the extensions into their own repository, we included the git as a sub module to continue this relationship. But as development has progressed, it's become clear that there's way too much variability to both have a solid extensions project and keep this fixed one to one relationship. Take Uniconvertor as an example. It's a bunch of extensions that call software which must already be installed to work. Which are both important to Inkscape and impossible to corral into a standard code quality framework. They've been moved to[1] so they can be developed separately to provide them with more latitude. Now this breaks the build time assumptions about what is in the share/extensions directory at dev time. Because now we have a situation where packagers are not guaranteed to have all the extensions they may want to ship. But this must be so, because while the core extensions should provide a stable API, the doc callers for the help menu and basic extensions; other extensions are often not written in python, have no tests, don't have code quality checks, use external programs which may not be installed and are even only used on windows (but we ship them to linux users currently). The future of extensions will be the extension-manager[2] which will allow inkscape users to install extra functionality[3] without requiring Inkscape to ship quite so many extensions by default. You can see Uniconvertor extensions packaged on test pypi here for a flavour of what this would look like[4]. (The plan for 1.0 is to ship the manager as a stand alone app that can be installed separately for testing) But before that glorious future; all Inkscape packagers need to be able to bundle in extensions different locations so that they can package in all the things their users will need. This should provide them with far more power to decide what's important than currently, where extensions are denied from installers because of developer reasons. I do not know how packagers wish to do this. Linux packagers may want to link to uniconvertor as a recommends package with it's own dependencies (which would be good). Windows and Mac may want to literally include the code into their distribution. (I'm hoping this email can spark a discussion so we can get the tooling right for all packager types). So far I feel that I've ruffled feathers by removing extensions. But I don't believe that the build time extensions are the same thing as the developer time core extensions and I hope this email goes some way to laying out the logic for this and why it would make the Inkscape project stronger to do it this way. Best Regards, Martin Owens 1. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extras/extensions-uniconvertor 2. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extension-manager 3. https://twitter.com/realdoctormo/status/1134107821249847298 4. https://test.pypi.org/project/inkscape-uniconvertor/

Launch Ikscape with default theme
by jEsuSdA 8) 06 Jun '19

06 Jun '19

Hi! I still making an Inkscape course documentation and I need to do some screenshots. I want the screenshots be as Inkscape default appearance, but I can't do that cause my desktop (Debian GNU/Linux + XFCE) is configured with an icon theme. This theme. So, when I launch Inkscape it looks great with these nice icons, but it is not a good idea to teach newbies using Inkscape screenshots that does not looks like his running inkscapes. How I can start Inkscape ignoring my environment icon theme. Thanks a lot!

Fwd: Extension request: Auto-generate rectangles based on input values
by Ibrahim Duz 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Dear dev community members, I am not sure whether this is the right way to ask for it. But I would like to make an extension (feature) request for a client of mine who uses your application. He is using Inkscape on a daily basis and doing a lot of repetitive actions in the program for which we thought an extension would be a good solution to reduce the time in his work. This is basically what he wants: He wants to fill 3 values: Width x Height x Depth (maybe in a popup) Based on these 3 values, 7 rectangles need to be created based on some calculation on the values he entered. I have added an example outcome of what he wants to be produced. All other values can be calculated based on the initial 3 values he enters. Is there anyone from the dev team who can help us out and discuss about the further requirements? Hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work! Kind regards, Ibrahim Duz <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#m_2206815133251637354_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Bryce ----- Forwarded message from Deb Nicholson <deb@...3057...> ----- Date: Wed, 29 May 2019 11:49:16 -0400 From: Deb Nicholson <deb@...3057...> To: project-reps@...3057... Subject: We want your stickers and your news! Hi all, It is about to be "conference season" again. Conservancy will have a booth at OSCON and All Things Open along with some other events over the next six months and maybe you'll also be attending some events? Anyway, we have three quick asks: 1) We'd love to share your project stickers when we table, so please send us some! Just email me and we'll figure out who's closest to you for mailing. 2) If you are low on stickers or materials for your own use, let us know so we can get you squared away well before conference season! We can absolutely re-order stuff like that for you, as long as you've got the artwork on file. 3) We'd love to hear about the events you're attending, talks you're giving or have given and the events you're hosting so we can share them on the monthly "news round-up" posts on our website. Examples here: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/may/28/may2019RU/ https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/apr/17/apr2019RU/ As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or just to share any plans or ideas you have for promoting your project.

Devels, Do we have any details on what happened to OpenClipart.org? It's an important resource for Inkscape users and it's one we have embedded into our software, but has been down for a very long time. Is there anything we can do to help? Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hackfest dinner in Saarbrücken
by Tobias Ellinghaus 28 May '19

28 May '19

Hello, on Tuesday, 28th of Mai, the hackfest dinner is planned. I was asked to find some places where to go and came up with the following selection: - a typical local place with local food and good beer: http://www.der-stiefel.de/ - Mexican food: https://www.cafe-especial.com/ There are a ton of other places in that area of the city, but I'd suggest the Stiefel. If you want me to book a table for about 15 people I need to know soon. I'd also need to know a time, maybe 19:30 or 20:00? Tobias

Issue #195 proposed patch review request
by Guiu Rocafort Ferrer 27 May '19

27 May '19

Hi everyone, I've been looking at this issue for a while, and i believe i found a way to resolve it. I've posted a patch file in the Issue ticket ( https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/195 ). It's a fairly simple fix, but i was wondering if someone could have a look at it, and maybe give some feedback in case something is not right. Thank you Guiu Rocafort

Mailman3 rollout plan
by Bryce Harrington 26 May '19

26 May '19

In 2 weeks I'd like to complete the mailing list transition. That timeframe should put us past the hackfest and the June team meetings, so should be a minimal chance of project disruption. If no one raises an objection, I'll send out notices[1] to each list of the pending move this Monday evening. https://lists.inkscape.org is up and ready for use now - subscribe early if you'd like. On the transition day (Saturday, June 8th), I'll run the archives importer, send out the final move notices, and close the sourceforge mailing lists. If you have questions or run into problems, file a bug report (https://inkscape.org/report) and subscribe me. Thanks, Bryce 1: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/issues/46

Editing elliptical arc segments in paths
by Daniel Bailey 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hi All, I wrote a new feature for inkscape a while ago (3 years ago) but never got it upstreamed, partly because it had some obvious bugs. Recently I wanted to use this feature again so decided to fix the code and bring it up to date with the latest code base. I have now fixed the bugs I found previously. The code is much closer to a state where it could be upstreamed, but likely it will need some tweaks for usability. The most notable differences are; - Arc segments now get a pair of handles at right angles to each other, to manipulate the two radii of the ellipse and the rotation of the ellipse. - Arc segments are no longer automatically converted to beziers upon editing a path - Arc segments can be converted to beziers using the "make segments smooth" button - Dragging the line of an arc segment will not manipulate the segment like it will if the segment is a line or a bezier (and therefore not all segments can be dragged, whereas they could before) (maybe a different behaviour is desired here) - The arc flags (the large flag and sweep flag) can be set using new buttons in the node toolbar I'm still a new contributor, so let me know what I should do next. I guess I need to create a merge request on gitlab? Thanks. Dan. (Currently the code is here: https://gitlab.com/danieljabailey/inkscape/tree/danieljabailey_arc_node_edi… ) (Previous discussion can be found in the messages from 2016 in these search results: https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/search/?q=Arcs+in+the+path+edito… )

Location and start of SB hackfest
by Tobias Ellinghaus 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hello again, the Saarbrücken hackfest is approaching fast. On Monday, 27th, I will be there at 09:00 o'clock, from then on the doors will be open and everyone is free to come. The address is Ufergasse 2 66111 Saarbrücken It's a kind of hidden door between a casino and an adult video store, just step close to it and it will open on its own. There is a lift in the far right corner of the entrance room, or you can take the stairs on the right. The office is in the 2nd floor (German counting, Americans would call it the 3rd floor). The button in the lift says, among others, "2" (duh), "U2 Raum" and "K8 gGmbH". I will add some photos to the wiki page later. In case someone wants to get into the office on Sunday already, just ping me and I can arrange something. For those that are in the city on Sunday and don't know what to do, I'd suggest going for a drink in the evening. Tobias PS: If anyone needs any help or information regarding the hackfest, traveling in Germany or local customs I am sure I can help.

Super node snapping
by David Mathog 09 May '19

09 May '19

Inkscape currently has a way to snap a drawing node to another drawing node. Is there a way to associate a "super snap node" with an object which would take precedence over the drawing nodes? Let me give an example. Proteins sometimes exist in cell membranes. The protein SVG would be a complex drawing, as would the membrane, both packed full of the usual drawing nodes. So moving the protein to the membrane in the usual snap mode is not going to be at all helpful. The "super snap node" would consist of a vector defined by two points specifying a position and an orientation. It would be associated with a grouped object but would not normally be visible. It would indicate the proper insertion orientation and position for the protein. A matching "super snap node" would be associated with each element in the membrane. In those mode one could drag the protein to the membrane and drop it and it would center and orient on the nearest super snap node in the membrane. Since cell membranes have two sides moving the protein over to the other half and releasing it would flip it 180 degrees and insert it in the other direction. In the more general case, there could be types of super snap nodes, so that only a pair of the same type would interact. (Note, my email is acting strangely today - I'm not sure what the subject is going to be on this message. ) Regards, David Mathog mathog@...1176...

Hi Inkscapers, this is a reminder to book your flights, trains, hotel room etc. for the Saarbrücken Hackfest as soon as possible, if you haven't yet! If you are approved and plan to ask for reimbursement, remember to abide by Software Freedom Conservancy's Travel Policy: https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html Also please enter yourself and (at least) the dates you will attend into the table at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken_Atten… I need to report the number of attendees for the Hackfest at k8 in two weeks - everyone who is not on the list by then risks to have to work from their hotel room ;-) (probably not really...). Also, if you will attend LGM, too, please register on their website! The schedule for the pre-event, where Inkscape will have a booth, on May 29 is available here (scroll down, in German): https://opensaar.de/2019/04/libre-graphis-meeting-in-saarbruecken/ If anyone wants to support Mihaela and Marc at the booth, please add your name to the list here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken#May.2… On another note: the hackfest stickers are ready: https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors?msg=NHW5ZY2mPiHrk2YEJ The rollup display arrived today, but it needs to acclimatize before it's rolled out, so I can't show it yet.

Critical bug on Fedora 30 / Ubuntu 18.04 when using Wayland
by Diederik van Lierop 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Hello everyone, Inkscape 1.0a isn't usable at all for me at the moment on Linux when running it under Wayland; it appears to be missing most of the mouse events or something. I cannot draw even the simplest geometry! I haven't figured out how to make a screencast that shows the mousepointer, but maybe that's another Wayland issue ;-). Can't show it to you because of this, but it's really bad. I don't recall any reports about this and cannot find anything in the Gitlab issues either, but surely others must be experiencing this too... Unless everyone else is still on Xorg. I've reproduced this on both Fedora 30, with current trunk, as well as on Ubuntu Gnome 18.04.2, using the inkscape-trunk PPA. When I use Xorg, the problem disappears, on both distros. This is rather problematic though, because all (?) linux distros that have gnome also have Wayland enabled by default these days. Any pointers? A bug report maybe? Otherwise I will file one myself, and start some debugging. Best regards, Diederik

Cheers from Donors
by Bryce Harrington 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

I wanted to share a little side project I've been doing for fun... Our Paypal link includes a memo field, which Inkscape's donors have used to say some very nice things over the years, that deserve to be shared with you all: http://alpha.inkscape.org/cheers/ This is a simple applet to cycle through the non-blank donation memos, from today backwards. It refreshes daily, although Paypal processing adds a few days lag so it's not up to the minute. For those of a more technical bent, the full data is at http://alpha.inkscape.org/cheers/cheers.json. I'm posting that in the open in hopes it can get integrated and used in other places; no changes are planned for the data file format, so consider that stable. The code itself for the React.js applet I've stuck on github here: https://github.com/bryceharrington/cheers-carousel I'd like to improve the styling a bit, but otherwise am done with this for now. Eventually this is going to be integrating into other finance displaying scripts I'm working on... but that'll be news for some other day. Enjoy! Bryce

Inkscape - Release status for 1.0 beta
by Bryce Harrington 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi all, tldr; - Just an update on my earlier email on release status. We're still on pause waiting on blocker bugs, no ETA for release dates yet. Progress is getting made. There is a lot of good activity going in by RdH, NPJ2000 and others to get the Mac OS native packaging established. Some of that work has landed already, and screenshots are starting to get passed around. * https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/gPrPtAHfZDnA39yDK/extensions.png Of the two blocker bugs we're tracking, the test rendering offset bug (#45 in inkscape's gitlab) is well understood now and is down to figuring out the right form of fix, and the extensions bug (#156) has been progressing nicely, although I don't know the exact status at the moment. We have 17 open bugs milestoned to 1.0: * https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues?milestone_title=1.0 Ideally we'd drive this list down to zero by release, although if we can close the two Critical bugs and most of the High priority bugs we should be in decent enough shape. I've been thumbing through other bug reports, crash bugs in particular. There's a lot, but thankfully most are not things ordinary users are going to run into, as they tend to be a bit obscure. But obviously, the more of these we can resolve before final release, the better. Please devote some of your time to looking at bugs, even if you're not a programmer you can do analysis and testing which can be invaluable. Triaging work is also HIGH VALUE right now, most particularly for tagging bugs and assigning importance levels to all bugs in the main issue tracker. Chris and Maren collected a listing of problems they'd love to see fixed, from an actual product usability point of view: * http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/1.0_Release_Bug_Fix_List These need to be migrated to gitlab, milestoned for 1.0, and set as High priority. Great way to score levels in the bug game, while directly helping towards making the software stronger. So, as to scheduling of the beta release... Since the two blocker bugs are blocking the release process, I think it would not be wise to set any dates just yet. However, I think beta could be released shortly after they're resolved (or no longer considered blockers). Focusing beta on the Mac OS package would be wise, so we can maximize user testing, so I would also include its status in the schedule determination there. Scheduling of release candidates for the final 1.0... June looks pretty unlikely given the work remaining to be done. I'm guessing a late summer release may be more likely, although difficult to predict. Bryce

Introduction - Research on the Inkscape Project
by Srrreal 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi all, I am SrrReal, a FOSS enthusiast and Inkscape user. Currently, I am a student researcher (in India) doing social sciences research of digital technologies. I recently began working on a project to explore how the identity of free software communities is shaped by its contributors. As an Inkscape user, I was keen on studying this by closely following the Inkscape community.This work is part of a course on ethnographic research - a type of research in which researchers engage closely with the people involved in the context they are studying, to gain a deep understanding. I am writing to introduce myself (and my research) to the broader community. In the coming weeks, I hope to chat with many of you, who do different things to make Inkscape what it is! I have put together a short survey - https://srrreal.typeform.com/to/dfhjFV as a preliminary step to guide further research. It's got about 2-3 questions and shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. It would be really helpful, if you could fill this out. If you would like to chat about the research in more detail or have questions and suggestions (what to probe, what may be interesting, etc), I'd be happy to discuss that further. Please email me [srrreal@...3637...] or ping on Rocket Chat [@SrrReal]. Or you could indicate your interest in the survey and I'll get in touch with you! Regards, Srravya

Welcoming Nathan Lee as new Inkscape developer
by Bryce Harrington 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Nathan, You've landed dozens of contributions to Inkscape and been recommended by Mc and Speleo3 to have commit rights to trunk. I've granted your new access permissions and want to echo their appreciation for your dedication. Keep up the good work! You don't need to change anything about your current workflow right away, if you're comfortable with it. The other developers can answer questions and give guidance when you're ready. It would be great if you could assist other prospective contributors by helping review the merge request queue, there's a lot of good work there that needs good shepherding. Thanks again, and welcome! Bryce

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, 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 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(-)
