Hi, i use OpenSuse 10.0 and Inkscape allways crash on startup. I had this error with different versions from Suse and also with a 0.43+devel (Jan 27 2006) compiled on my host I run it under Gnome and i dont have the problematic KDE Baghira theme and the package gtk_qt_engine installed. I have post this problem a few weeks before but found no solution. Can someone explain the backtrace or have an idea what's the problem? the line 88 in /usr/include/c++/4.0.2/bits/list.tcc is " __tmp->hook(__position._M_node);" Here is the backtrace: #0 0x40537447 in std::_List_node_base::hook () from //usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #1 0x08152c67 in std::list<sigc::slot_base, std::allocator<sigc::slot_base> >::insert (this=0x85c8798, __position={_M_node = 0x85c8798}, __x=@0xbf8542c0) at list.tcc:88 #2 0x08152378 in sp_document_add_resource (document=0x8648f78, key=0x84731cf "layer", object=0x85cdb30) at signal_base.h:180 #3 0x08175266 in SPGroup::setLayerMode (this=0x85cdb30, mode=SPGroup::LAYER) at sp-item-group.cpp:663 #4 0x0818111a in sp_object_read_attr (object=0x85cdb30, key=0x8427416 "inkscape:groupmode") at sp-object.cpp:1057 #5 0x0817469d in sp_group_build (object=0x85cdb30, document=0x8648f78, repr=0x8646b94) at sp-item-group.cpp:124 #6 0x08181c51 in sp_object_invoke_build (object=0x85cdb30, document=0x8648f78, repr=0x8646b94, cloned=<value optimized out>) at sp-object.cpp:857 #7 0x08183255 in sp_object_build (object=0x85a8940, document=0x8648f78, repr=0x8646ef4) at sp-object.cpp:805 #8 0x0818e8f5 in sp_root_build (object=0x85a8940, document=0x8648f78, repr=0x8646ef4) at sp-root.cpp:162 #9 0x08181c51 in sp_object_invoke_build (object=0x85a8940, document=0x8648f78, repr=0x8646ef4, cloned=<value optimized out>) at sp-object.cpp:857 #10 0x081805d3 in sp_object_repr_build_tree (document=0x8648f78, ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- repr=0x8646ef4) at sp-object-repr.cpp:67 #11 0x0815132d in sp_document_create (rdoc=0x863d6e4, uri=0x0, base=0x0, name=0x85cadd8 "Neues Dokument 1", keepalive=<value optimized out>) at document.cpp:232 #12 0x081518d2 in sp_document_new (uri=0x0, keepalive=1, make_new=true) at document.cpp:356 #13 0x08153873 in sp_file_new ( templ=0x85c9848 "/opt/share/inkscape/templates/default.de.svg") at file.cpp:96 #14 0x081552e3 in sp_file_new_default () at file.cpp:132 #15 0x0814cd71 in sp_main_gui (argc=1, argv=0xbf854694) at main.cpp:825 #16 0x0821eb01 in Inkscape::NSApplication::Application::run (this=0xbf8545f8) at application.cpp:117 #17 0x0814c5d9 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbf854694) at main.cpp:675 Thanks Ralf

Linked vs Embeded
by Martin Owens 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

We've been having a discussion in #inkscape about the feedback (almost complaints) about the way inkscape links to images by default instead of embedding them as a document creator would expect. The solution on balance we got to was: New Menu Item File->'Place Image' (same name used as adobe) which links to the image Change Menu Import to embed image data by default Add an ask box for when images are dragged and dropped for weather the images should be linked or embedded. I'm having a look at the code but I won't change anything until we reach a consensus. -- #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::# #::.. http://www.doctormo.co.uk/ ..::# #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::#

Keyboard navigation... (F6, F8, ...)
by Jon A. Cruz 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

We seem to have a bit of a problem now. It turns out that the reason F6 and F8 became 'broken', is that they are reserved by GTK for stock navigation when a splitter pane is involved in the UI. It turns out that F6 is used to switch between current panes, and F8 to switch to the splitter itself to allow for keyboard resizing. I don't think we can just arbitrarily remap those, since it's part of the accessibility project and was designed to coincide with the use of keys on other platforms/toolkits. So I think we're now faced with the decision to either not allow any GtkPaned widgets in our UI, or to give up F6 and F8. As a follow-up item, we probably need to do something I've been thinking of for a while and list out the different keys and how they're used on different platforms and in different applications. One thing tweaking things a bit for me is that on OS X, F9-F12 are used for basic OS-wide features, and other can be also (especially on laptops). http://guides.macrumors.com/Keyboard_shortcuts (the three links at the bottom of the page are quite helpful)

need help with Windows command line
by bulia byak 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Devs, (and Bob especially,) Our efforts to make Inkscape's Windows port not output errors on the console have been way too successful. Now it never ouputs ANYTHING to the console, ever. Not even if I redirect it to file (> file). Now, however, I have a project that critically depends on querying SVG files with Inkscape using --query* command line options. Worst of all, this must run on Windows. So my question is, is there any simple fix I can do to make this work (I don't mind to run a custom version of Inkscape for this project)? Or, should I just add --query-output=file option which would make it write the output to a file, which I can then parse? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

I think this should be a separate tab in the Transform dialog, with 9 buttons in the square grid (for setting it to object's corners, sides, and center) as well as x/y fields for setting it to any position. Also, more things that need to be added: - make center snap to grid/guides/objects and to other centers - make objects snap with their center to grid/guides/objects Volunteers welcome, especially with snapping! The API is very easy - the SPItem now has methods: getCenter, setCenter, isCenterSet and unsetCenter, pretty self-explanatory. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Icon Preview
by Joshua A. Andler 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

I've honestly never checked the Icon Preview out before and decided to this morning. It appears to me that the dialog may be broken (or it may just be my not understanding it). Is it supposed to have the extra widgets that the swatches dialog has? I'm talking about the swatches selection list and that X button widgets. Also, it appears to be a blank dialog otherwise, but when you hover around it does button highlighting (and it looks like you click those buttons to get the preview). Am I missing something here? -Josh

a rant
by bulia byak 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Guys, Inkscape's openness and the ease of contributing to it are wonderful. However, I would like to remind you that if you commit a change, by this very act you suggest that at least one of the following is true: 1 You are a heavy user of the changed/added feature, and you are sure you yourself can discover and fix most related bugs soon, if not already. 2 You intend to be around for a reasonable amount of time after your commit, _watch_ for bug reports related to your change, and fix them _promptly_. If none of these are true, please REFRAIN FROM COMMITTING until you can make them true. Why rant about it now? Two of the recent regressions are so nasty that they forced me downgrade to 0.43 for my daily work, painful as it is. Not being able to use the latest CVS - oops, sorry, SVN - is so annoying that I just can't help speaking out. The people who caused these regressions are known with a reasonable level of certainty, and I asked them to fix the bugs (or at least look into them) numerous times. The bugs are: - export selection is broken (likely caused by Carl's changes in libnr) - F6 and F8 keys don't work (most certainly caused by Jon Cruz' swatches panel) I don't want to blame anyone, because these people may have some genuine reasons to be unable to fix these bugs. Or, it may be that the bugs are not caused by them at all. After all, I myself am too busy with work right now, so I can't even investigate these bugs in more detail, let alone fix them. However, I feel that this is still a good occasion to state what I have stated: DO NOT COMMIT if you will be unable to support your change at least for the length of one full release cycle, and especially if you can't be on guard for the first few weeks when most of the bugs are found. Thanks, -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

NEW: transformation centers remembered
by bulia byak 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

This feature is finally reimplemented correctly. Everyone please test heavily. I want to hear about any workflow or usability issues from all kinds of users. * The position of the center (axis) of rotation and skewing used by Selector is now remembered for all objects and is restored when you select those objects again (even after save and reload). When you move or scale an object, its rotation center is moved or scaled too, so its position relative to the object always remains the same. * Shift+click on the rotation center resets it back to the center of the object's box. * Consequently, dragging the transformation center is now an undoable action; you can press Ctrl+Z to undo the drag. Todo: - make use of this in keyboard transforms and Transform dialog; - make it work smartly for groups: if a group has center not set, return the center of the first object inside group with the center set -- bulia byak Inkscape.

by Bryce Harrington 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi all, Several of us Inkscapers will be attending the Libre Graphics Meeting in Lyon, France March 17-19 2006, and we'd love it if more Inkscapers and OCALers (both developers and users) could attend. If we can get a quorum, we can have an Inkscape/OCAL meeting there during the conference. The conference itself will be free to attend. In addition to Inkscape and OCAL, GIMP, Scribus, Blender, Xara, Little CMS and other projects will be there. More info about the conference itself is available here: http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/ In addition, my dad and I are going to be touring around Europe (SE France, N Italy, Austria, S Germany), and would love to meet up with anyone in the area. Drop me a line if you're interested! Bryce

embedded image performance
by Eric Wilhelm 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Jon was right: "Then there's the size in memory that's needed for the full string node in the DOM tree, plus all the UI impact from having large strings kicking around, including the XML Editor window." The UberConverter is somewhat stuck creating embedded images because it is running on pipes, has to extracted embedded images from other formats, and I haven't layered 800 options onto it yet. This gave me a chance to play with inkscape during the debugging and the XML editor really crawls (this machine is getting old, but it's still dual AMD 2400's w/ 2GB ram.) I also noticed that if I save the svg out of inkscape, the linebreaks in the base64 data go away and gvim gets really mad, so there are a few issues to consider in any upcoming embedded image work on inkscape. http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/bitmapfills.svgz I'm sure there's a way to do this better using <use> elements or something (particularly in this example, which has two instances of one image.) I'm just following the example from the embed_raster_in_svg.pl script for now. Suggestions welcome. --Eric -- [...proprietary software is better than gpl because...] "There is value in having somebody you can write checks to, and they fix bugs." --Mike McNamara --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------

Updated win32 gtk bundle
by Bob Jamison 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hi, all, It has been about a month since the last update of the gtk library bundle. It has been mentioned that there is a minor bug in the previous version of Gtk in the last bundle. Therefore I spent a bit of time adding new libs and re-7-zipping the collection. Here are the versions of the files, from the README.txt file: =========== 272,825 atk-1.10.3.zip 57,722 atk-dev-1.10.3.zip 137,243 cairo-1.0.2.zip 155,356 cairo-dev-1.0.2.zip 618,030 freetype-2.1.10-bin.zip 267,194 freetype-2.1.10-lib.zip 722,848 glib-2.8.5.zip 1,046,977 glib-dev-2.8.5.zip 5,133,574 gtk+-2.8.10.zip 3,355,532 gtk+-dev-2.8.10.zip 236,600 pango-1.10.2.zip 297,076 pango-dev-1.10.2.zip This replaces the following files from the previous bundle: 779,016 glib-2.8.4.zip 1,053,769 glib-dev-2.8.4.zip 3,044,443 gtk+-2.8.7.zip 3,315,784 gtk+-dev-2.8.7.zip 306,292 pango-1.10.1.zip 301,121 pango-dev-1.10.1.zip =========== Also, I'm going to commit the Makefile.mingw file that I have been using to provide Python-enabled builds. Since the previous bundle had the version of Python with pyxml installed, and it has been available for over a month, I guess it is about time to let others start using it. bob (ishmal)

www and a wiki party
by Aaron Spike 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

I attempted to fix all of the broken images that I could find in the inkscape_web module. Please svn up and check for any broken files, let me know if you find any. I'll keep fixing. Something still isn't right with publishing via svn. Seems that there are a lot of files in the webroot that are not group writable. Will anyone object if I drop the wp directory from svn? Before the new year I had taken an evening or two to see if I could switch the wiki to mediawiki. Perhaps we need to think about having a wiki party day, where we can concentrate on getting that content moved to another wiki with better anti-spam measures. Any comments? Aaron

more gradient options
by Alexandre Prokoudine 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hi, I spent some time to find out what would SVG gradients future would look like since users would appreciate more gradients options than just linear and radial. We have multiply RFEs that are related to this issue. According to http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2Reqs/ "SVG may include more types of gradient elements. Potential gradient elements include conical, rectangular, Gouraud shading, triangle mesh, Coons patch and shaped fill (with gradient offsets determined by the distance from the edge of the shape). [SVG 2.0]" So, more gradient options is currently considered for SVG 2.0. Currently even 1.2 is not ready, which means we might have more gradient options only in 3-4 years. I'm curious if we can live with it next 3-4 years or if we could somehow let SVG developers know we need it in SVG 1.2. What do you think? Alexandre

Re: Linked vs Embedded
by Martin Owens 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

I do not like the idea of zipping the files, it's not svg once it's saved and it's just getting around the problem rather than facing the clarity issues with linking/embedding images. admitidly the option would be good for prof's but I'd expect them to know the tool. I don't really care about what the user 'should' be doing, that is totaly the wrong way to think about users (and it's an attitude that kills linux too) I think we should make it clear what the options are, regardless of what your personal bias or the way to arrange the options in terms of menu's/option boxes, properties. We should have it arranged so the user does not even have to think about adding an image or linking an image and the way you arange the options will reinforce to the user the way in which these work. The problem of users thinking that inkscape is broken because it links to images because of the bias of InDesign profs should be dealt with in a way that serves all our needs but does not 'preach' to the users on how they should go about their work. -- #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::# #::.. http://www.doctormo.co.uk/ ..::# #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::#

Re: Linked vs Embedded

I totally agree with the points raised by Eric, adding my points that with copy/paste of image date (not a file name or href) then it would be dangerous to create a new file instead of embedding (user does not know what is being done). also the options in Erics post to do with changing between linked and embedded would take care of anyone who wants to paste linked images, handing the option to the user is always more useful, although I suspect most linkers would want to select the file or D&D it. As for copy/paste filename that should be handled as a link leaving the option to embed to the image properties. Drag and Drop should work the same as the OS, so embed normally, link when [ctrl] is held down (or how ever the os deals with it) perhaps changing the icon to show the diference. Information should be provided so when an image is selected it should say on the status bar: Relative/Direct Linked Image: [href/dir] or Embedded Image: [size] [type]. These are points to consider when improving the user interaction with external images. Best Regards, Martin Owens PS. Appologies for all the emails I've sent out directly instead of to the list -- #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::# #::.. http://www.doctormo.co.uk/ ..::# #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::#

xlink:href="thisfile.svg" ?
by Eric Wilhelm 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

Inkscapers, Should inkscape refuse to load a file that includes an <image element which references the svg file itself? I don't see anything in the svg spec about how you're supposed to exit their (accidentally enabled?) recursion and inkscape 0.43 runs to 1.3GB of ram very quickly (I'm not brave enough today to see if it goes all the way to the OS barrier, but I don't see any signs that it wouldn't.) I would attach the file, but I don't want to get accused of sending virii :-) If you have the ram and stomach for it, just slap this into the middle of a skeleton file named image_recursive.svg and enjoy. <image y="103.00504" x="48.357143" id="image1355" height="355.85715" width="345.17828" xlink:href="image_recursive.svg" /> --Eric -- "These crispix get soggy so quickly." -- Tina Connolly --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------

Barcode svgism
by Martin Owens 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

If I wanted to modify inkscape to include not just the ability to add barcodes but also the ability to edit them when desired but also save then in a way which does not diminish the editing abilities... I was thinking of saving both the grouped standard svg data which makes up the barcode (so it could be rendered in any standard svg viewer) but also the extra information as an inkscape svg extention which allows one to edit the barcode again when the page is loaded or even print with printers that allow barcode instructions (more effect). These are just ideas for now. -- #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::# #::.. http://www.doctormo.co.uk/ ..::# #::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::#

New directories
by Ted Gould 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

I created two new modules in the subversion repository. Both of these are because Bryce has been bothering me for months to add them :) Now as a project to learn SVN/SVK I have! -- inkscape_marketing http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs/inkscape/inkscape_marketing/trunk/ This is a place for all marketing materials that are used in Inkscape promotion. Currently I put all the presentations and fliers that I've done. I also put the trifold brochure done by MrDocs in Scribus in there. I hope that others will put their presentations, articles, fliers, etc in there also. -- inkscape_testfiles http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs/inkscape/inkscape_testfiles/trunk/ These are a bunch of files that I've used in Inkscape testing in the past. Mostly they are weird filenames/formats for testing extensions. Other contributions to the collection are welcomed. --Ted

I can confirm that Inkscape fails to start on Mac OS X 10.4.4 This applies both to the current version (package from the Inskscape site) and the older version supplied by Fink. If any one actually has had inskcape start fully on OS X 10.4.4 please report. This does not seem to be a "prebinding" isse. Inkscape seems to partially start, by its window never opens.

Happy to talk with any of you who are interested in the announcement, the provisions, etc. -----Original Message----- From: info-gplv3-bounces@...1152... [mailto:info-gplv3-bounces@...1152...] On Behalf Of GPLv3 Information Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 9:04 AM To: info-gplv3@...1152... Subject: [Info-gplv3] GPLv3 First Discussion Draft The first discussion draft of the GNU General Public License Version 3 has been released. The new draft and web resources are available at <http://gplv3.fsf.org>. We welcome your comments on the wording of the new version at <http://gplv3.fsf.org/comments/>. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Draft 1 of Version 3, 16 Jan 2006 THIS IS A DRAFT, NOT A PUBLISHED VERSION OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make requirements that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. For the developers' and author's protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, the GPL ensures that recipients are told that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Some countries have adopted laws prohibiting software that enables users to escape from Digital Restrictions Management. DRM is fundamentally incompatible with the purpose of the GPL, which is to protect users' freedom; therefore, the GPL ensures that the software it covers will neither be subject to, nor subject other works to, digital restrictions from which escape is forbidden. Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the special danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL makes it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. Definitions. A "licensed program" means any program or other work distributed under this License. The "Program" refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either modified or unmodified. Throughout this license, the term "modification" includes, without limitation, translation and extension. A "covered work" means either the Program or any work based on the Program. Each licensee is addressed as "you". To "propagate" a work means doing anything with it that requires permission under applicable copyright law, other than executing it on a computer or making private modifications. This includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), sublicensing, and in some countries other activities as well. 1. Source Code. The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source version of a work. The "Complete Corresponding Source Code" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to understand, adapt, modify, compile, link, install, and run the work, excluding general-purpose tools used in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, this includes any scripts used to control those activities, and any shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work, and interface definition files associated with the program source files. Complete Corresponding Source Code also includes any encryption or authorization codes necessary to install and/or execute the source code of the work, perhaps modified by you, in the recommended or principal context of use, such that its functioning in all circumstances is identical to that of the work, except as altered by your modifications. It also includes any decryption codes necessary to access or unseal the work's output. Notwithstanding this, a code need be included in cases where use of the work normally implies the user already has it. Complete Corresponding Source Code need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Complete Corresponding Source Code. As a special exception, the source code distributed need not include a particular subunit if (a) the identical subunit is normally included as an adjunct in the distribution of either a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs or a compiler used to produce the executable or an object code interpreter used to run it, and (b) the subunit (aside from possible incidental extensions) serves only to enable use of the work with that system component or compiler or interpreter, or to implement a widely used or standard interface, the implemention of which requires no patent license not already generally available for software under this License. 2. Basic Permissions. All rights granted under this license are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the Program. The output from running it is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a work based on the Program. This License acknowledges your rights of "fair use" or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. This License gives unlimited permission to privately modify and run the Program, provided you do not bring suit for patent infringement against anyone for making, using or distributing their own works based on the Program. Propagation of covered works is permitted without limitation provided it does not enable parties other than you to make or receive copies. Propagation which does enable them to do so is permitted, as "distribution", under the conditions of setal Restrictions Management. As a free software license, this License intrinsically disfavors technical attempts to restrict users' freedom to copy, modify, and share copyrighted works. Each of its provisions shall be interpreted in light of this specific declaration of the licensor's intent. Regardless of any other provision of this license, no permission is given to distribute covered works that illegally invade users' privacy, nor for modes of distribution that deny users that run covered works the full exercise of the legal rights granted by this License. No covered work constitutes part of an effective technological protection measure: that is to say, distribution of a covered work as part of a system to generate or access certain data constitutes general permission at least for development, distribution and use, under this License, of other software capable of accessing the same data. 4.[1] Verbatim Copying. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all license notices and notices of the absence of any warranty; give all recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program; and obey any additional terms present on parts of the Program in accord with section 7. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection for a fee. 5.[2] Distributing Modified Source Versions. Having modified a copy of the Program under the conditions of section 2, thus forming a work based on the Program, you may copy and distribute such modifications or work in the form of source code under the terms of Section 4 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must carry prominent notices stating that you changed the work and the date of any change. b) You must license the entire work based on the Program, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License must apply, unmodified except as permitted by section 7 below, to the whole of the work. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. c) If the modified program has interactive user interfaces, each must include a convenient feature that displays an appropriate copyright notice, and tells the user that there is no warranty for the program (or that you provide a warranty), that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and how to view a copy of this License, plus the central list (if any) of other terms in accord with section 7. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a command to display this information must be prominent in the list. Otherwise, the modified program must display this information at startup--except in the case that the Program has such such interactive modes and does not display this information at startup. These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work, added by you, are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works for use not in combination with the Program. But when you distribute the same sections for use in combination with covered works, no matter in what form such combination occurs, the whole of the combination must be licensed under this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to every part of the whole. Your sections may carry other terms as part of this combination in limited ways, described in section 7. Thus, it is not the intent of this sets to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent documents or works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Mere inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate. 6.[3] Non-Source Distribution. You may copy and distribute a covered work in Object Code form under the terms of Sections 4 and 5, provided that you also distribute the machine-readable Complete Corresponding Source Code (herein the "Corresponding Source") under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: a) Distribute the Object Code in a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source distributed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Distribute the Object Code in a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give any third party, for a price no more than ten times your cost of physically performing source distribution, a copy of the Corresponding Source, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Privately distribute the Object Code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only for occasional noncommercial distribution, and only if you received the Object Code with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above. Or, d) Distribute the Object Code by offering access to copy it from a designated place, and offer equivalent access to copy the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the Object Code. [If the place to copy the Object Code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you have explicitly arranged with the operator of that server to keep the Corresponding Source available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements, and provided you maintain clear directions next to the Object Code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.] Distribution of the Corresponding Source in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented, unencumbered by patents, and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. The Corresponding Source may include portions which do not formally state this License as their license, but qualify under section 7 for inclusion in a work under this License. 7. License Compatibility. When you release a work based on the Program, you may include your own terms covering added parts for which you have, or can give, appropriate copyright permission, as long as those terms clearly permit all the activities that this License permits, or permit usage or relicensing under this License. Your terms may be written separately or may be this License plus additional written permission. If you so license your own added parts, those parts may be used separately under your terms, but the entire work remains under this License. Those who copy the work, or works based on it, must preserve your terms just as they must preserve this License, as long as any substantial portion of the parts they apply to are present. Aside from additional permissions, your terms may add limited kinds of additillows: a) They may require the preservation of certain copyright notices, other legal notices, and/or author attributions, and may require that the origin of the parts it covers not be misrepresented, and/or that altered versions of them be marked in the source code, or marked there in specific reasonable ways, as different from the original version. b) They may state a disclaimer of warranty and liability in terms different from those used in this License. c) They may prohibit or limit the use for publicity purposes of specifi= ed names of contributors, and it may require that certain specified trademarks be used for publicity purposes only in the ways that are fair use under trademark law except with express permission. d) They may require that the program contain functioning facilities that allow users to obtain copies of the program's Complete Corresponding Source Code. e) They may impose software patent retaliation, which means permission for use of your added parts terminates or may be terminated, wholly or partially, under stated conditions, for users closely related to any party that has filed a software patent lawsuit (i.e., a lawsuit alleging that some software infringes a patent). The conditions must limit retaliation to a subset of these two cases: 1. Lawsuits that lack the justification of retaliating against other software patent lawsuits that lack such justification. 2. Lawsuits that target part of this work, or other code that was elsewhere released together with the parts you added, the whole being under the terms used here for those parts. No other additional conditions are permitted in your terms; therefore, no other conditions can be present on any work that uses this License. This License does not attempt to enforce your terms, or assert that they are valid or enforceable by you; it simply does not prohibit you from employing them. When others modify the work, if they modify your parts of it, they may release such parts of their versions under this License without additional permissions, by including notice to that effect, or by deleting the notice that gives specific permissions in addition to this License. Then any broader permissions granted by your terms which are not granted by this License will not apply to their modifications, or to the modified versions of your parts resulting from their modifications. However, the specific requirements of your terms will still apply to whatever was derived from your added parts. Unless the work also permits distribution under a previous version of this License, all the other terms included in the work under this section must be listed, together, in a central list in the work. 8.[4] Termination. You may not propagate, modify or sublicense the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate, modify or sublicense the Program is void, and any copyright holder may terminate your rights under this License at any time after having notified you of the violation by any reasonable means within 60 days. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as they remain in full compliance. 9.[5] Not a Contract. =20=20=20=20=20 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive a copy of the Program. However, nothing else grants you permission to propagate or modify the Program or any covered works. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating the Program (or any covered work), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions. 10.[7] Automatic Licensing of Downstream Users. Each time you redistribute a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to propagate and modify that work, subject to this License, including any additional terms introduced throughon 7. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights thus granted or affirmed, except (when modifying the work) in the limited ways permitted by section 7. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 11. Licensing of Patents. When you distribute a covered work, you grant a patent license to the recipient, and to anyone that receives any version of the work, permitting, for any and all versions of the covered work, all activities allowed or contemplated by this license, such as installing, running and distributing versions of the work, and using their output. This patent license is nonexclusive, royalty-free and worldwide, and covers all patent claims you control or have the right to sublicense, at the time you distribute the covered work or in the future, that would be infringed or violated by the covered work or any reasonably contemplated use of the covered work. If you distribute a covered work knowingly relying on a patent license, you must act to shield downstream users against the possible patent infringement claims from which your license protects you. 12.[7] Liberty or Death for the Program. If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute the Program, or other covered work, so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute it at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other exclusive rights or to contest their legal validity. The sole purpose of this section is to protect the integrity of the free software distribution system. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. [13.[8] Geographical Limitations. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.] 14.[9] Revised Versions of this License. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 15.[10] Requesting Exceptions. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission.

Unless specifically stated, this software has not been tested for use in safety critical systems. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

ATTENTION: SVN ALL-CLEAR

Okay, I'm done reorganizing trunks, tags, and branches in SVN. Here's how things have changed around: https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/trunk/$module -> https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/$module/trunk https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/branches/$branch/$module -> https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/$module/branches/$branch https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/tags/$tag/$module -> https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/$module/tags/$tag For example, to check out inkscape's "HEAD" used to be: https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/trunk/inkscape Now it's: https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk Note that you will need to explicitly specify the checkout directory name if you don't want it to be "trunk" (you probably don't). That means that, in order to check out into an "inkscape" directory, you now do: svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk inkscape Any questions? -mental

Duplicate /js tree
by Bob Jamison 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hi, all, I don't know why a duplicate /js directory appeared after the migration, but of course it is unnecessary. I am removing the one in /extension/internal/scripts. This is because Perl and Python in that directory are embedded via SWIG, which doesn't seem to support Javascript anymore. JS more properly belongs with /dom anyway, where is is being embedded directly. I did a make after this delete with no problems. If anyone has a problem, let me know, or feel free to hack the Makefile_insert thingy for it. Thanks to <rwst> for telling me about this. bob

Dev Group: When I work with SVG, I generate as much of it as I can, then I hand edit. I use a lot of tools while I'm doing this. I was a draftsman ages ago, I'm a spec author, and I'm very fussy. I've written a few graphics viewers and editors and use most of the available ones from time to time. So I'm a pretty educated user, I don't have much patience for tools that seem broken. I find the InkScape UI to be intuitive (for me anyway) and a pleasure to use. I hate reading docs, and I haven't read any of yours yet. I did look at them though, they look great, and the ability to experiment with features right in the help docs is a killer app. FWIW, I just felt like dropping a line to say that you're doing great work, a huge asset to the SVG community. -- Cheers!

SVN migration

Unless anyone objects, I'd like to bite the bullet and just haul everything over into SVN. SVN is not _that_ different from CVS, so I don't forsee a huge adjustment period. - get everyone with stuff pending in their CVS working copies to get themselves to a good stopping point and commit - turn on SVN - freeze CVS - wait a day or two for everything to settle - migrate repo to SVN - continue development in SVN; leave CVS frozen -mental

I have just committed a patch for the gtkmmified preferences dialog it's not finished but it's ready to replace the old dialog. Todo: -Enable opening of dialog by doubleclicking toolbar buttons. -Add access keys to all labels and widgets (HIG chapter 10) -Add icons to the pagelist -Fix bitmapoversample (add to preferences-skeleton.h) -Change dialog title to Inkscape preferences (HIG chapter 3) -Move menu entry for inkscape preferences from file to edit menu. (HIG chapter 4) -Add dialogs.showclose preference -Investigate this http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14240882 About Adding access keys to all labels and widgets, this would break all translations so i'd like to know if we really want this before i go ahead and do it.

object style minibar
by MenTaLguY 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

I've been pondering the object style minibar, and come up with a variation on the current idea. It's not a huge difference. Basically fill and stroke get their own square areas, and stroke is a thick outline rather than a solid box. That way it's immediately clear which is which. The boxes are divided diagonally -- the upper right side of each box is the paint with full opacity, and the lower left side is the paint with the actual opacity, over a checkerboard. The absence of a fill or stroke would be represented by the traditional red-on-white slash, and probably unset by a question mark or something (to match the fill and stroke dialog). I think I'd also like to see the traditional red-and-white slash in the fill and stroke dialog as well... There's a mock-up attached. Comments/critiques? -mental

Sorry I took so long to get back to you; I've been swamped for the past week. Thank you very much for taking the time to put together a minimal example of the problem. I can see it is indeed the rendering issue I suspected; the hairline is an artifact of an antialiasing technique used by Inkscape and many other vector graphics renderers. Essentially, a shape partially covering a pixel is simulated by making that pixel semi-transparent. This looks acceptable in most cases, but there are a few cases it behaves badly for -- exactly adjacent edges, for example. Here's the deal: when the border between the two shapes doesn't fall exactly on the boundary between pixels (this is why zoom or scrolling can make a difference), you end up with one shape covering part of a pixel, and the other shape covering the remainder. Shape A: Shape B: +---+---+ +---+---+ |AAA|...| |...|BBB| |AAA|...| |...|BBB| +---+---+ +---+---+ Obviously, if we overlap these, we should get a pixel whose color is 50% A and 50% B, right? +---+---+ |AAA|BBB| |AAA|BBB| +---+---+ Well... problem is that by the time they're combined, the renderer has already flattened these partially-covered pixels into flat pixels with transparency (alpha). The information about which portions of the pixel are covered by which colors is lost. Using only the alpha information, if you composite A at 50% alpha, and B at 50% alpha, you get a pixel whose color is 25% the background color, 25% A, and 50% B (assuming B is "above" A in the stack). Hence, a one-pixel seam of 25% background color shows through... There are better antialiasing methods available which don't exhibit this problem, but they are less often used because they are generally slower (so are likely to see the problem with other renderers too). We can't really do anything about how it'll appear in other renderers, but Inkscape should probably implement one of the better antialiasing methods as a special "high-quality" rendering mode. -mental

Problem with Snapping/new Document Properties pannel
by jiho 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Happy New Year to everybody and let 2006 be the year when Inkscape rules! I recently tested the new document properties pannel on mac os X. I think I am a bit late for that but I liked better the first one (with frames) because it was more compact even if it was not HIG compliant. Would it be possible to have the metadata tab scrollable and the others more compact so that the dialog is smaller. I keep this one open very frequently to change snapping settings and I think it would be really nice to have it smaller. Another problem is with snapping and the freehand and bezier tools: snapping to grid seems to be always on for these tools as long as the grid is displayed and whatever the status of snapping is in the Document Properties pannel (even before the it is changed). Is it the desired behaviour? If it is it should be the same for all tools and it does not seem to be the case. Finally, the current distinction between "screen pixels" and "px units" is not really clear to me. what are px units? 1 px unit = 1 grid unit? may be it could be explained a bit better if it is to be kept. Thank you in advance for considering this. I would happily fill a bug report for the second problem if it is necessary. JiHO. PS: for testing purposes the new document preferences pannel is in the last two dev builds for mac os X (24 december and 4 january). btw, is there no way to have the downloads for these builds mirrored and handled by sourceforge? because the download rate is awfully low and the download fails very often.

arcs/elliptical arcs in path data
by Eric Wilhelm 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

Inkscapers, I just noticed that inkscape uses elliptical arcs in its path data (not if you draw a path, only if you draw an ellipse -- but it uses the <path> element rather than an <ellipse> element I guess because <ellipse> cannot represent rotated ellipses or elliptical arcs.) However, it seems that any sort of union or offset on these ellipses causes them to be converted to bezier curves. (Simplify seems to also convert them.) Xar only supports bezier curves in the path data, so this would have to be converted. It looks like postscript conversion has a similar issue in that its arcto does not support ellipses. >From the info that I've been able to find, an ellipse can only be approximated with a quadric bezier curve. Is that correct? Can anyone please give me some hints as to whether the inkscape source has anything that would be generically usable for converting ellipses to bezier? I've been digging through the source starting with extension/internal/ps-out.cpp and it appears to be leading me to ps.cpp, but I think I missed the conversion.

Hi all, Inkscape has received an invite to the GPLv3 launch at MIT in Cambridge, MA on January 16-17. Mental and I would have liked to attend, but unfortunately have other commitments. Would anyone else be interested and able to represent Inkscape at this event? It would be great if an Inkscape user or developer located near Boston could attend at least one of the days.

export bitmap doesn't respect file extension
by Wolfram Quester 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hi, I received a bug report against debian's 0.43 version of inkscape: > In the export bitmap entry of the File menu, the default is to have an > image with an extension (and format) of png. However, if I change this > to file.jpg, inkscape silently decides that it'll still export a png, > but with the *extension* jpg. > > Instead, inkscape should do as the Gimp does, and do smart things with > the extension and/or offer the user a choice. > > At the bare minimum, give a warning and/or save the file as file.jpg.png > so there is no ambiguity about the filetype. I thought I should submit this here before I add it to the tracker due to the recent discussion about changes in the export dialog. Perhaps we could warn the user in this dialog that at the moment only png is supported for bitmap exports. With best wishes, Wolfi

Page properties - size errors
by Lucas Vieites 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

Hi, I'm running cvs version of Inkscape 0.43 and I'm having trouble wtih the paper size. When I create a new document I usually use A4 paper size. My default units are mm, and according to the Document properties an A4 sheet of paper is 248,03 x 350,79 mm. This is incorrect, should be 210 x 279 mm. When I accept this setting and return to the main window I create a vertical guideline at 0mm, which goes correctly to the left edge, and another guideline at 210mm, which goes correctly to the right edge. Strange... On the other hand horizontal guidelines go wrong; a hor. guide at 0 mm goes correctly to the bottom edge, but a guide at 279mm goes way below the top edge. Another curious thing is that, although it uses 248,03 x 350,79 mm as the size in mm for A4 when I change the units to cm, it sets the page size to 21,26 x 30,07 cm. It didn't convert correctly. How to reproduce this: - Open a new document. - Open "Document Properties" (Shift+Ctrl+D) - Set page size to A4 - Set units to mm (note the width and height) - Set units to cm (note the width and height) If this is a know "feature" I'll wait for it's solution, otherwise I'll be happy to file a bug. OK, I just checked the bug list on sourceforge and I guess this is just a confirmation of bug: [ 1391348 ] Win32: 0.43 devel+: wrong page sizes http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1391348&group_id=9… I'm using Ubuntu Breezy, so I can confirm that.

font not working
by David Christian Berg 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hey guys! I've a font consisting of 18 styles... it's in pfb as well as afm, pfm and inf format. I've not clue, which files I actually need, but I think the pfbs are the ones, because they have a preview :) Anyways, when trying to use them in Inkscape I see the list with all the different styles, right as one would expect, on selecting the font. However, the styles aren't rendered properly. Is it an Inkscape or an Pango bug? Abiword and OOo skrew up as well, but after all they can't handle that many styles anyway. Scribus doesn fine. Thanx for you help! David

problems with linked offsets
by Ian Bruce 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Inkscape version: 0.43 (Debian package, i386) If you create a "linked offset", and then move the primary object to which that offset is linked, the offset moves FARTHER (in the same direction) than the primary. Watching this process in the XML editor, it appears that moving the primary inserts a "translate" block into the SVG code for the offset, which was not initially present. If this tag is removed, the offset will then recenter on the primary at its new location. Rotating the primary creates similar problems. The linked offset will NOT rotate, but it does move around, although in this case the "translate" tag does not appear in its SVG code. I don't know whether this behavior is intentional or not; to me, it seems kind of disfunctional, like some vector transformations are being applied in the wrong order or something. It's easy to reproduce; it happens every time. So is this behavior a bug, or a "feature"? -- Ian Bruce

UberConverter
by Eric Wilhelm 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi all, I'm nearing completion on the xar2crs, crs2xar, svg2crs, and crs2svg connectors which represent the xar <-> svg conversion for the UberConverter. I threw together a build script today. If anyone feels like testing, now would be a good time to checkout from the svn and start playing with it. You'll need svn, perl, Module::Build, and svn co http://scratchcomputing.com/uc/trunk/ uber-converter/ cd uber-converter/code/perl/ perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build install --install-base=/tmp/uc/ PATH=$PATH:/tmp/uc/bin/ PERL5LIB=/tmp/uc/lib/perl5/ svg2crs foo.svg | crs2xar > foo.xar The "perl Build.PL" step should complain if you're missing prerequisites. Assuming you have the cpan command-line client, you might just: cpan XML::SAX cpan YAML cpan Compress::Zlib cpan Class::Accessor cpan SVG cpan Test::More cpan CAD::Calc cpan CSS::SAC::LexicalUnit cpan CSS::SAC cpan Math::Vec Let me know if the build process gives you any trouble. I'm sure there are still some gaping holes in the code itself, but I thought some of the braver souls might be interested in trying things at this stage. Please do use svn, this is still too in-flux for tarballs.

export dialog breakage
by bulia byak 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Lately the export dialog got broken: you can't click on Selection, it always goes back to Custom with some wild w/h values. It's basically unusable because of this. There were no suspicious commits to export.cpp so the problem is elsewhere. I'm very busy with work right now and cannot investigate further. I would really appreciate if those who did many commits lately (especially rwst and cth103) could check if some of their changes were the reason. Thanks! -- bulia byak Inkscape.

ZINK documentation removed
by Pim Snel 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi, In the discussion about the store-as-zink-plugin I was advised to create good documentation so people know how to install and use the zink-plugin. I created a Wiki page at inkscape.org with the first documentation, but the link to the page is now removed from the frontpage in the revision: Revision 504 . . (edit) December 25, 2005 5:53 pm by pool-70-22-95-197.balt.east.verizon.net [despamming] Is it possible to have it back again. I hope to go on with the development, adding more compatibility and security and also hope the code will be added to CVS. Pim Snel

NEW: user's templates
by bulia byak 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Document templates (listed in File > New) are now first searched in the templates subdirectory of the user's profile directory (on Linux it's ~/.inkscape/templates), then in the system-wide Inkscape templates directory. This allows you to add your own templates on top of the list of standard templates, as well as override the default template with your own one (the default.svg in the profile directory has priority over the system-wide one). -- bulia byak Inkscape.

units
by Eric Wilhelm 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi all, The good news is that svg2crs foo.svg | crs2xar > foo.xar is almost working. The bad news is that I can't figure out the "right way" to get inkscape units into inches. I found some constants in src/unit-constant.h which tell me that 90 units / inch is set at compile-time, but it seems like the svg file should contain something which makes that explicit. Of course, the svg spec only rambles on about user-agents determining something from their environment, but that seems way wrong for the uber-converter (what's the dpi of your terminal?) I guess svg was never intended to convey real-world dimensions? So, it looks like 90 units/inch is a good assumption, but I don't like to assume. Is there a "right way" to do this and/or is it something that inkscape should be writing into its svg? --Eric -- "If you only know how to use a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail." --Richard B.

Temp Mingw distribution is broken
by William Swanson 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Howdy, The build instructions for Win32 developers ( http://inkscape.org/win32/win32buildnotes.html) point to a zip file with a self-contained Mingw installation: <blockquote> *Note: Temporarily, I suggest that people use the preassembled Mingw working directory that we have assembled here<http://inkscape.org/win32/mingw-0510112028.zip>. It has the important pieces set up to compile the way we need them. Unzip it to c:\mingw.* </blockquote> This is great, except that the installation is missing some files. When I tried to build Inkscape on a fresh copy of Windows XP with this package, I encountered several build errors. To solve the problem, I unpacked the following official Mingw packages on top of the broken Inkscape-provided installation: gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?download> gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?download> mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz?download> w32api-3.5.tar.gz<http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/w32api-3.5.tar.gz?download> This fixed the issues. Now that my Mingw install works, I've packed it up into an archive and placed it at www.swansontec.com/temp/mingw.7z. It would be great if someone with access to the server could replace the existing Mingw package with this one. The current URL is just my temporary file-transfer space, so the file needs to move to a more permananet home before linking to it. -s_tec
