Here is some confirmation that Xara isn't expecting copyright assignment.

Yep, I've seen this and they are making assumptions that we'll need or want copyright assignment (same feeling on Slashdot from some) - we've never said anything like that. I'll quote from my guy Alex who knows most about license issues; -------------- Just to clarify, we will *NOT* be requiring copyright assignment. There are two reasons for this: 1. The code will be released GPL. Not a GPL variant, but GPL. This means you can do *WHAT YOU LIKE WITH IT* subject to the normal GPL license conditions (I'm sure you guys are already familiar with them). So saying we are requiring something in order for you to use, modify, or distribute the code is not accurate. 2. We will be maintaining the "official" Xara tree (i.e. the one with the Xara name on it) - anyone else is free to maintain their own tree. That's the beauty of open source. The only sense in which we are planning to "require" anything is that if you want your modification to get into our tree, it has to jump certain hurdles. Some of those are to do with making sure at least one of our trees stays relatively bug-free and the architecture is consistent. Another will be to do with licensing. This is because we want to be able to issue a proprietary version as well. This is for two reasons: firstly, we need to continue to survive as a company. Secondly, there is stuff we simply can't open source - certainly right now - for instance commercially licensed third party components such as the Pantone library. Both of these things, we think, are *good* for the Open Source program. Having an open-source program that is able to produce artwork that is (for instance) easily printed using colour separations and spot colours (even if this involves the use of a commercial version at one stage in the process) is clearly better than being unable to support it at all. Equally, having us able to fund full-time developers means both versions benefit. 3. Lastly, we will NOT be requiring copyright assignment. Assignment means you (the assignor) would lose your rights to us (the assignee). We do not intend to ask for that, and to do so would be totally unfair. What we will be asking for is for some sort of license that will allow us to use your code in our commercial version as well, but will allow the original author to retain *all* their copyright rights. We know the question here is "well why should you guys get any special benefit?". The answer to that is that we're putting a lot of code into the open-source domain. One thing we are thinking about is asking contributors who want their code to get into the official tree to dual license the code GPL/BSD (to the extent they have copyright). That would mean if there is an independent feature someone is contributing, then it's not only us that can use it in a commercial version. We are open to suggestions on how this is achieved. I'd get involved in the Inkscape list if I had a second. Hopefully when things have quietened down a bit - getting a bit inundated here. But by all means pass these comments on, as from us. I like the idea of dual license GPL/BSD for contributions - allows us to use the code, BSD is hugely popular license, doesn't take anything away from GPL or the rights of the contributor. But as Alex says we're open to suggestions on how to best achieve this. If there's absolutely no way we can incorporate a certain feature in a commercial version, then fine it just wont ever get into our main version. But does that help anyone? We're not taking anything away from the developer, we're not asking for copyright assignment and so I'd hope that wouldn't be a problem. > Of course, this assumes the code bases are similar enough to be > mergable. Inkscape uses fairly regular C++ but if Xara is riddled with > COM/MFC idioms it might cause issues Pretty clean OO design and C++ from day one. In fact from day one it was designed to be platform portable. We just never got around to doing any port other than Windows. No COM / MFC in the core at all - that's why and how we got the viewer working so quickly (which is all the main core tree building / rendering pipeline / engine stuff). > For what it's worth I'm also a Wine developer, working for CodeWeavers. Ha, I know Jon Parshall, COO of CodeWeavers. Big Xara fan and user (does amazingly detailed illustrations with Xara actually). He's shown me Xara X working on an as yet unreleased Codeweavers Office, so Wine must be getting very near to being able to do this. Obviously not the way we want to go, but would be damn useful to be able to run the Window version side by side with the Linux version just for test and compare purposes. Anyway thanks for the feedback, Regards, Charles ----- End forwarded message -----

about dialog copy
by MenTaLguY 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Here's my first crack at fresh copy for the about dialog; I've not tried to make it fit in the available space yet. Basically I am imitating the style of Victorian-era advertising copy, without making claims TOO overly grand by modern standards (I mean, I hope people would recognize it as tongue-in-cheek, but...): --- THIS _excellent_ Vector Graphics Application is recommended for the generation of Scalable Vector Graphics for use on the World Wide Web, for Print, Games, Desktop Icons, Cartography, and all other sundry purposes to which Scalable Vector Graphics are best suited. Based upon the inimitable Extensible Markup Language, for graphical purposes demanding Crystal-Clear Scalability, Programmatic Modification and Dynamic Content Generation ; and where Scripting and Interactivity via the celebrated Document Object Model are required, nothing can be better adapted. PERSONS EMPLOYING BITMAPPED GRAPHICS, which are subject to Aliasing, Blurring, Large File Size, and Difficulty of Correction or Subsequent Modification, arising from a lack of structure, should all promptly investigate the considerable benefits of Vector Graphics today. *Available in most fine Linux Distributions, or obtained direct through our Web Site at 8 b. per byte: http://www.inkscape.org/* --- Any comments? -mental

info on PSTricks extensions used is missing(LaTeX backend)
by Gour 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Hi! I'm new to Inkscape but would like to use it as a tool for illustrating my LaTeX (LyX) presentations prepared with a beamer package. I tried to 'draw' simple polygon in Inkscape (0.42) and save drawing as LaTeX with PSTricks macros. One confusion is that Inkscape produces .tex file and puts the following comment: %%Please note this file requires PSTricks extensions in the file, but i have problem discerning which extension(s) is/are required. I looked for a help on #inkscape and hinted to report the issue on the list and/or submit a bug report with the request that the info is placed in the file to help users. Am I missing something or the feature is really missing? Sincerely, Gour -- Registered Linux User | #278493 GPG Public Key | 8C44EDCD

Static RPM isn't Very Static
by DJA 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

I downloaded and installed the 0.42.2 RPM (I tried both i386 and i686) and even though it installed okay with no dependency errors, the program won't run because of the following error: [dallen@...1044... ~]$ inkscape inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libgc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I expect that a static build of an app to include everything needed to run that app, including necessary libraries, or is my understanding of "static" incorrect. I have had the same problem on both Fedora Core 3 (FC3) and FC4, both of which are updated as of the date of this post. I cannot find the library which contains the libgc.so.1 library file. Apparently it's not part of the Fedora distro. Where can I find this library? -- Best Regards, ~DJA.

png transparency displayed incorrectly

Since the image was to big, the email didn't get through... hence I now uploaded it to http://home.tu-clausthal.de/~dcb/linux/crayon.png (it's white with different opacity) Hey guys: I wanted to import the attached png to get the effect of crayons within inkscape... for some reason the transparency is displayed as being grey, at least partially.. any clues, why that might be? Same problem still exists on exporting to bmp... Thanx in advance! David

Loading User Preferences?

When using command line tool, I would expect it to take account of only what is on the command line or in referenced files. I think that bash and vim work like this, though they have non-trivial systems for setting user preferences and initial settings when used interactively. I might even go so far as to make a policy specifically to eliminate use of the prefs., and to document this as being so. Ben

Crazy Xara Idea
by Ted Gould 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Let's make two assumptions: 1) I have a Xara binary with built in Pantone support 2) That binary is not stripped. If I have the source code I should be able to figure out which function calls deal with that library, and I should be able to dynamically load the Xara binary and call those functions since I know the prototypes from the source code, and if I used the same tool chain. Could we get Pantone support? Users would have to buy the full version of Xara to get it, but for most people who need Pantone, that wouldn't be a big deal. Probably a better solution is to convince Xara to break their color management out into a GPL'd library. Then they could sell a proprietary version of that included Pantone support. Then we could link to that library. If it was generic enough, Scribus and GIMP might be interested also. Anyway, I've never thought about dynamically loading an application before. Crazy. --Ted

Win32 build trouble
by William Swanson 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Hello again, The build notes for Win32 (http://inkscape.org/win32/win32buildnotes.html) include the following step: * Get the latest Mingw distribution, here [http://www.mingw.org/]. It will be called something like mingw-x.x.x.exe. I could not find any such thing at the mingw.org site. They've broken their distribution down into dozens of little pieces, and I have no idea which I need. As an alternative, I decided to try using my existing cygwin installation. Unfortunately, cygwin seems to have a newer compiler with several subtle incompatibilities. After a few hours tracking down build problems, I give up. Does anyone have a working "mingw installation" they can zip up and send me? Or, at least some information on what it takes to get such a thing? I would really appreciate it. -s_tec __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

corrupted inkscape 0.43 about.svg

share/screens/about.svg in CVS is corrupt: line 256 has `xml:space="preser,20.857566 -2664.3438,22.031250 C ' (and so on, evidently from a path's d attribute): see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1310742&group_id=9… (True both of the initial upload (v1.20) and HEAD (v1.21).) Can everyone who's had something to do with this about screen search your hard drive and see if you have any copies that don't have the same corruption? Otherwise, where did we get this SVG file from? pjrm.

It compiles! I had some trouble with unknown symbols, so I added a few hacks to placate the linker. In desktop-affine.cpp: #include <assert.h> In dir-util.cpp: int errno; In unclump.o: unsigned long infinity_hack = 0x7F800000; //32-bit IEEE infinity float _imp____infinity = *reinterpret_cast<float*>(&infinity_hack); The first is arguably a legitimate fix, but the other two horrible hacks for problems I do not fully understand. I will probably start work on the dialog box issues this afternoon. In particular, the biggest problem is bug [1318726], which I just submitted. (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1318726&group_id=9…) For some reason, the "Save As" dialog box is an insane size, making it completely unusable. The non-native dialogs are a nusiance in the first place; it would be much better to replace them with the standard dialogs in comctl32.dll anyhow, as per bug [1118565].

Compilation fails due to markup error
by Lucas Vieites 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Hi, I'm trying to compile from cvs and I get the following error during "make": -------------------------------------------- es.po: parsing error for `>\n\n <submenu name=\"_File\">\n <submenu name=\"_New\">\n <verb verb-id=\"FileNew\" />\n <template-list/>\n </submenu>\n [snip] the entire xml from /src/menus-skeleton.h:7 [/snip] -------------------------------------------- and this at the end: WARNING: Bad markup found in translations. Please consider fixing the above problems. I think the problem is in /src/menus-skeleton.h lines 6 and 7 right here: -------------------------------------------- static char const menus_skeleton[] = N_("<inkscape version=\"" INKSCAPE_VERSION "\"\n" -------------------------------------------- Which causes the po file to look like this: -------------------------------------------- #: ../src/menus-skeleton.h:7 msgid "<inkscape version=\"" msgstr "<inkscape version=\"" #: ../src/menus-skeleton.h:7 msgid "" "\"\n" " xmlns:sodipodi=\"http://inkscape.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd \"\n" " xmlns:inkscape=\"http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape\">\n" "\n" -------------------------------------------- breaking the xml. Couldn't "INKSCAPE_VERSION" be a "%s" in order not to break the xml syntax? Sorry if I'm completely off the right track, I'm just trying to figure things out.

win98 to be dropped?
by bulia byak 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Looks like the win98 crash will not be fixed. I even submitted a bug to Gnome but it got no response so far: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316878 Since no one agreed to roll back windows libs to the previous working version, we have to officially drop support for this platform. This saddens me immensely, it's a defeat which will likely affect my feelings towards the project. I have win98 on an older box that my wife and kids use, and now suddenly it has no latest Inkscape anymore. (Not that it worked there perfectly before, but at least it worked and was used quite often.) Here's my proposed addition to the Known Issues in the release notes - Peter and/or Jon, please review and commit (unless you have any other ideas, of course): Due to a bug in GTK 2.8, this version of Inkscape will not work on Windows 95/98/ME. Please don't send us crash reports from those platforms. We hope to be able to resume support for these platforms in the future, but no specific committments can be made at this point. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Makefile:409: *** target pattern contains no `%'
by Jean-Francois Lemaire 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Hello, Compiling Inkscape CVS under a freshly upgraded SuSE Linux 10.0 yields two errors: - The first one occurs in the top directory: "Makefile:977: *** missing separator. Stop.". It is easily solved by adding a tab space at the beginning of line 977; - The second one is in /po: "Makefile:409: *** target pattern contains no `%' Stop." but I can't solve this one. However, Inkscape Installs fine and seems to be running fine without the po files. So, there seems to be some errors generated by the autotools. Or is this GCC 4 related?

Hi, When I was browsing the Project Status page on inkscape.org, I noticed the call for Windows developers. I don't have much free time, but I'm willing to contribute a bugfix here and there to my favorite piece of software. I've checked out the CVS, but am still setting things up to compile. Once I get things running, where is a good place to start hacking? Also, assuming I create a patch for some problem, where do I send it? -s_tec __________________________________ Yahoo!

compile error on os x 10.4.2

Hi, I have a linking error on mac os X with latest CVS (checked this 3 hours ago) and I think I have all dependencies right (because it worked last time with these packages = two weeks ago, when I compiled inkscape). But since I have changed system and now I use 10.4.2 with latest developer tools and fink up to date. So I have this error: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link g++ -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wcast- align -Wsign-compare -Woverloaded-virtual -Wswitch -Wno-unused- parameter -I/sw/include -O3 -Wall -L/sw/lib -o inkscape --export- dynamic main.o libinkpre.a application/libinkapp.a ui/dialog/ libuidialog.a dialogs/libspdialogs.a dom/libdom.a jabber_whiteboard/ libjabber_whiteboard.a trace/libtrace.a svg/libspsvg.a widgets/ libspwidgets.a display/libspdisplay.a helper/libspchelp.a libcroco/ libcroco.a libnrtype/libnrtype.a libnr/libnr.a libavoid/libavoid.a livarot/libvarot.a ui/view/libuiview.a ui/libui.a ui/widget/ libuiwidget.a extension/libextension.a extension/implementation/ libimplementation.a extension/internal/libinternal.a extension/script/ libscript.a xml/libspxml.a util/libinkutil.a io/libio.a inkjar/ libinkjar.a libinkpost.a debug/libinkdebug.a -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/ lib -lgtkmm-2.4 -lgdkmm-2.4 -latkmm-1.6 -lpangomm-1.4 -lglibmm-2.4 - lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lXrandr -lXinerama -lXext -lXcursor - latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lXft -lXrender -lpangox-1.0 -lX11 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpango-1.0 - lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lxslt -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm -lsigc-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lpng -lz -lpopt -L/sw/lib -lgnomevfs-2 -lbonobo-2 -lgconf-2 -lbonobo-activation -lORBit-2 -lm - lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -L/usr/X11R6/ lib -lXft -lfreetype -lXrender -lfontconfig -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/ lib -lpangoft2-1.0 -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpango-1.0 -lm - lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -L/usr/X11R6/ lib -lfreetype -lgc g++ -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -Woverloaded- virtual -Wswitch -Wno-unused-parameter -I/sw/include -O3 -Wall -o inkscape --export-dynamic main.o -Wl,-bind_at_load -L/sw/lib libinkpre.a application/libinkapp.a ui/dialog/libuidialog.a dialogs/ libspdialogs.a dom/libdom.a jabber_whiteboard/libjabber_whiteboard.a trace/libtrace.a svg/libspsvg.a widgets/libspwidgets.a display/ libspdisplay.a helper/libspchelp.a libcroco/libcroco.a libnrtype/ libnrtype.a libnr/libnr.a libavoid/libavoid.a livarot/libvarot.a ui/ view/libuiview.a ui/libui.a ui/widget/libuiwidget.a extension/ libextension.a extension/implementation/libimplementation.a extension/ internal/libinternal.a extension/script/libscript.a xml/libspxml.a util/libinkutil.a io/libio.a inkjar/libinkjar.a libinkpost.a debug/ libinkdebug.a -L/usr/X11R6/lib /sw/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.dylib /sw/lib/ libgdkmm-2.4.dylib /sw/lib/libatkmm-1.6.dylib /sw/lib/ libpangomm-1.4.dylib /sw/lib/libglibmm-2.4.dylib /sw/lib/libgtk- x11-2.0.dylib /sw/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.dylib -lXrandr -lXinerama -lXext -lXcursor /sw/lib/libatk-1.0.dylib /sw/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.dylib / sw/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.dylib /sw/lib/libpangox-1.0.dylib -lX11 /sw/ lib/libxslt.dylib /sw/lib/libsigc-2.0.dylib -lpng /sw/lib/ libgnomevfs-2.dylib /sw/lib/libxml2.dylib -lz /sw/lib/ libbonobo-2.dylib /sw/lib/libgconf-2.dylib /sw/lib/libbonobo- activation.dylib /sw/lib/libORBitCosNaming-2.dylib /sw/lib/ libORBit-2.dylib /sw/lib/libpopt.dylib -lresolv /sw/lib/ libgthread-2.0.dylib -lXft -lXrender /sw/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.dylib - lfontconfig /sw/lib/libpango-1.0.dylib -lm /sw/lib/ libgobject-2.0.dylib /sw/lib/libgmodule-2.0.dylib /sw/lib/ libglib-2.0.dylib /sw/lib/libintl.dylib -lc /sw/lib/libiconv.dylib - lfreetype /sw/lib/libgc.dylib -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: warning empty table of contents: jabber_whiteboard/ libjabber_whiteboard.a (can't load from it) /usr/bin/ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _locale_charset /sw/lib/libintl.dylib(localcharset.o) definition of _locale_charset /sw/lib/libiconv.dylib(localcharset.o) definition of _locale_charset /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: typeinfo for Atk::Implementor typeinfo for Gtk::Bin typeinfo for Gtk::Dialog typeinfo for Gtk::Object typeinfo for Gtk::Widget typeinfo for Gtk::Window typeinfo for Gtk::Container typeinfo for Glib::ObjectBase typeinfo for Glib::Object typeinfo for Glib::Interface typeinfo for Gtk::CellLayout typeinfo for Gtk::TreeModelColumnRecord typeinfo for Gtk::ComboBox typeinfo for Gtk::Box typeinfo for Gtk::VBox typeinfo for Gtk::HBox typeinfo for Gtk::FileChooser typeinfo for Gtk::FileChooserDialog typeinfo for Gtk::HandleBox typeinfo for Gtk::Adjustment typeinfo for Gtk::CheckButton typeinfo for Gtk::CellEditable typeinfo for Gtk::ToggleButton typeinfo for Gtk::Entry typeinfo for Gtk::Button typeinfo for Gtk::Editable collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [inkscape] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 could it come from the code or is it something in my settings? jiho@...993...:inkscape$ g++ -v Using built-in specs.

I thought that everytime a update affecting the translations is made, the one who did it should use the webform to tell the translators to update that. Webmasters should be encouraged to filter webform messages to a special folder, maybe. But you can never expect that all translations will be up-to date within 24h. On many pages, there will be english messages if no translation is available (e.g. screenshots, news, status) As i am pretty new, i don't know how the changes to download.php look like. If there are mostly updates to links, then i'd suggest to place them in variables in download.php and <?php echo $lnk_release ?> in the include files. caliga

Generating improved EPS/PDFs for transparent bitmaps before PS/PDF supports transparency
by Tom Epperly 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

I wonder if you've considered an interim solution to generating better EPS files and PDFs for Inkscape drawings with transparent bitmaps. I would like to run and idea past you. I am unfamiliar with Inkscape from a developers perspective, so it may be worthless. In case it's not, here goes. If we exclude bitmaps which are rotated or skewed, it seems that one could use Inkscape's SVG -> bitmap capability (demonstrated by the PNG export) to resolve the transparency and generate a resolved bitmap that could be used instead of the original tranparent bitmap when producing the EPS/PDF. If a transparent bitmap covers the rectangle defined by its corners (x1, y1) to (x2,y2), you can calculate the dots per inch of the in the x and y dimension taking into account any scaling applied by the user. Use Inkscape to render a bitmap of the rectangle (x1,y1) to (x2, y2) at the maximum of resolution (perhaps min {300, max {x_resolution, y_resolution}}). Use this bitmap instead of the orignal when creating the PDF. Of course, this idea can be improved upon. For example during the bitmap rendering phase, it would be better to render only the bitmap and elements below it (i.e., things that could actually appear in the transparent parts of the bitmap and not things above). If SVG's bitmap renderer can have different x and y resolutions, match the original bitmaps x and y resolutions. Alternatively, you could render the bitmap at a higher resolution to make sure the background elements that show through the transparent parts appear smooth at reasonable printing resolutions. I suppose you could even handle scaled, rotated and skewed bitmaps by rendering at high resolution a box that includes the whole scaled, rotated and/or skewed bitmap. Then take the resolved bitmap and undo the scale, skew and/or rotation to generate an unperturbed bitmap that when scaled, rotated and/or skewed will produce the contents that the renderer produced. I am guessing that in 90% of the situations, bitmaps aren't rotated or skewed, so it may not be worth solving the general problem. Well, what do you think? I recently made a poster with a radial gradient as the background and several logos (tranparent bitmaps) were on top of the gradient. I ended up exporting as a high resolution PNG, converting to TIFF and then converting TIFF2PDF. Inkscape looks like a fine program. Tom

Paper on testing and open source

Hi all, Next week I'm going to be presenting at the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference regarding combining traditional and open source practices for software testing. The paper focuses mainly on my involvement with the NFSv4 testing community, but it tries to identify some general principles that may be of use in other testing efforts as well. http://developer.osdl.org/bryce/papers/nfsv4_pnsqc.pdf Bryce

Patch for WWW::SourceForge mailing list stats
by Bryce Harrington 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Hi again Kang-min, The enclosed patches add a feature to your WWW::SourceForge module to allow display of mailing list statistics. This allows for example: $ ./sfnet --list-mailinglists stp List Members Posts stp-announce 4 11 stp-devel 13 2628 stp-support 9 130 stp-tests 9 96 $ ./sfnet --list-mailinglists inkscape List Members Posts inkscape-announce 284 28 inkscape-cvs 13 14252 inkscape-devel 213 13006 inkscape-tester 31 114 inkscape-tracker 11 8604 inkscape-user 310 3802 inkscape-user-es 37 59 inkscape-wiki 16 164 I noticed that SourceForge.net recently changed their HTML format slightly. They've added some whitespace here and there, and so forth. I modified the main regexp in WWW::SourceForge::Project to be able to deal with this change, but there's probably more discrepencies that you might want to investigate. Also, I noticed when running your test suite that it gives a couple warnings on lines 62 and 66 about uninitialized values. Not sure what's causing that. Oh, and regarding the downloading of files from SF, thanks for the advice, you're right, and I'm re-thinking the approach for that. I may be able to do it directly to a mirror, without any need for screenscraping, which would be superior for obvious reasons. Bryce

FOP (SVG2PDF)

This looks like it might be interesting: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ Sounds like it's able to take input from SVG and produce PDF. If anyone's interested in svg2pdf, this might be worth experimenting with to see if it's any good. It's available under the Apache license. Bryce

--new-canvas?
by Ralf Stephan 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hello, regarding C++ification, I've reached a point with Desktop where the class would be suited for inclusion in a Gtkmm environment, were it not for its dependency on SPCanvas etc We have now three possibilities: 1. forget about Desktop, incrementally improve the code in UI::View::Edit, first by separating Edit into Edit/EditWidget. After that, steal from Desktop what's needed. 2. Separate EditWidget from Edit. Discard rest. Rename Desktop to Edit. 3. Before worrying about 1/2, implement Gtkmm canvas under Desktop, enabling it via --new-canvas for testing. After that, goto 2. I have questions for those in the know: Is it technically possible to have everything as is, plus only a Gtkmm canvas? If so, would you prefer having a Gtkmm canvas tested first, instead of the Gtkmm UI? I have made a branch CXXIFICATION_VIEW_AND_WIDGET for work until now. As the next steps might not fit this description, should I create a second one GTKMM_CANVAS and merge them back later separately? (This appears cleaner to me.) ralf

I'm working on getting the roadmap up to date for us. Assuming that we shoot for the usual 2-3 month development cycle for 0.44, what things are people hoping to focus on working on? Three features that have come up repeatedly in this thread are interapplication cut/paste, layer dialog, and ps/eps/pdf import support. Is anyone interested in working on one of those features for 0.44? If we could get progress made on one or two of those features for the next release I think it would make a good achievement. Bryce

Libre Graphics Meeting
by David Neary 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hi all, A few weeks back, I sent a call to arms for a conference I'm organising with David Odin in Lyon next March. Since then, a lot's happened - we've confirmed the dates and location - CPE Lyon, the 17/18/19 March 2006. And we've started assembling a line-up. The main purpose of the conference is to get the developers of different projects in the same place, and talking. The other main purpose of the conference is to have the developers of those projects meet their users (and vice versa), and in general to chill out, maybe get some work done, and have a good time. Jon Phillips will be giving a talk on Inkscape, OpenClipart and creative commons, someone from Blender will be coming to present Project Orange (I hope), and there will also be presentations of Scribus from mrdocs and MrB, and the GIMP, although I don't know by whom yet. The current plan is to have 2 very light days of presentations on Friday and Saturday, and to consecrate Sunday completely to impromptu BOFs, hackfests, demos, brainstorming sessions, whatever happens. Should be fun, and I'd really like to see a good showing for Inkscape. Can people interested in attending please add their names to teh GIMP wiki at http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/LibreGraphicsMeeting (we'll have a better site soon). Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary bolsh@...85... Lyon, France

clipartbrowser 0.41
by Greg Steffensen 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

I'm releasing another version of the clip art browser. Lots of bug fixes, some performance improvements, code cleanups, and a new installation procedure (yes, yet another). Installation is now 3 steps, and hopefully easier than ever: 1) Satisfy the dependencies of Python 2.4 and PyGTK 2.6. 2) Download and run the following script, which installs the python setuptools: http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py 3) Run "easy_install clipartbrowser" As you can see, I've switched the installation system from Makefiles to the python setuptools. The setuptools are still under development (they're apparently going to be included in python 2.5), and I'm still very much learning how to use them, so the packaging isn't as polished as it needs to be, but this makes installation a breeze. Eventually, it should allow arbitrary python dependencies to be intelligently installed as well using the same process. I'm still working on getting this integrated back into the Inkscape effects menu, that's next on the list. As always, feedback greatly appreciated. Greg

Hard Freeze Lifted: insufficient stability
by Peter Moulder 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Existing show-stoppers will take sufficient amount of time, and will involve sufficiently non-trivial bug fixes, that it is more productive to lift the hard freeze for the moment. However, the feature freeze remains. Currently, our best plan for making a release soon involves backing out (or at least disabling) the following changes: - SPDesktop C++ification. This transformation was too rushed; has introduced at least two show-stoppers. Clean-up changes are good, but should be done cautiously, e.g. by breaking into small changes that can each be verified with reasonable confidence. The SPDesktop change has demonstrated itself not to be safe, so we'll back it out. - Connectors. Michael is now back from overseas and can work on this, but its current state (with crashes) isn't releasable. - menus.xml. Introduces menu localization problem. It has been useful in allowing ppl to play with the menu layout, but there's no particular reason for the functionality to be in the released stable version: it is currently for experimenters rather than customizers, as the file format still doesn't handle when menu items get added or removed from the default menu layout (e.g. new or changed functionality). Most remaining bugs are either not regressions (so don't present a reason not to replace 0.42.2); or are platform-specific (so I can't test whether they're regressions or not, and we could consider updating inkscape on other platforms in any case); or have a priority number lower than about 7 so I've assumed they aren't show-stoppers. (I forget whether I've looked at all priority-7 bugs or not.) pjrm.

Hi, I'm happy about the new webform, it seems to become quite accepted. I wonder however if people will perceive the link if the topic moves out of the first news. Wouldn't it be better to add a "Contact" item in the menu in the Developer section? Especially now as the mails are directed to the developer's ML? With best wishes, Wolfi

(if this will work ;) BTW, how can a set of colors be copyrighted? i know pantore is a registered trademark, but there\'s nothing special in a set of colors. also, cliparts may contain all of the pantone colors without a problem. why shouldn\'t a palette? maybe you should not name it pantone. but if i got that right, gimp also uses it!?

Improve Inkscape Terminology
by Daniel Stiefelmaier 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Hi! We had some discussions on how to translate some expressions to german. Colin felt that we can only use "better fitting" terms if the english ones are also adapted... i think, terms should be self-explanatory, if possible. live shape for example: if you translate that to german and back you might get lifeform ;) well, i know Nortons live update also doesn't improve health, but anyway, a direct translation is impossible So, here are some suggestion of me: live shape -> dynamic shape (because it is similar to dynamic offset) dynamic offset -> dynamic object/form/shape well, maybe live shapes and dynamic offsets should not have the same name, but still they act similar. but "object with dynamic outline" is a bit cumbersome. linked offset this is hard. i'd name it "linked dynamic object" or "controlled dynamic objekt" even more "dynamic object (controlled)" because it is just the same than the parent object, plus it can be controlled by the parent object. maybe the objects name could be "dynamic object (controlled)" and the menu entry "create controlled dynamic object" or "derive controlled dynamic object" also this menu entry should only be available if a dynamic object is selected, but this may be a different topic ;) inset/outset (this is more a german problem, we just couln't find an appropriate translation) also not so simple, as "shrink" / "expand" (current german translation, there is no in/outset in german) do not really tell, that this is not a resize. Is that correct, that this scales orthogonal to the normal? how could this be expressed? a few days ago we voted for "aussenkontur/innenkontur", meaning sth. like "outer/inner contour" but now i think this is wrong, as is does not create a new outline, but scale the original object. hm... new ideas: path -> translate outwards ("nach außen versetzen" oder "nach außen setzen") path -> translate inwards ("nach innen versetzen" oder "nach innen setzen") path -> expand ("expandieren" oder "nach außen erweitern") path -> collapse ( ??? oder "nach innen ???) well... maybe we can just leave that one... colin: i just thought we could return to "schrumpfen" and "ausdehnen" but in fact, not the path is shrinked, but the surrounded area: more slim/slenderize ("schlanker"/"abnehmen") and rise ("zunehmen") another thing is, that inset/outset does not reflect that it is similar to the dynamic offset (or better dynamic object) phew... enough said and done for today...

As there was some talk about exporting to different formats, i'd like to thow in another one... OASIS came in my mind. the open document format. Karbon14 uses it yet and i'd guess OpenOffice's drawing app also will. This may not be an important goal, as the format is not popular yet, but still i think inkscape should support it sooner or later. But maybe we don't need to bother about that and get that ability from the Uber-Converter. ;) caliga

SPDesktop
by MenTaLguY 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

I just committed a conversion of the whole UI::View::View hierarchy over to the collector -- you can't do leaf classes individually and have it work right. Has to be everything in the hierarchy. Not 100% sure I got the code straight because it was a very quick job, but I think so. I'll keep testing. Important thing for everyone to realize: just like refcounted GObjects and so forth, GC::Anchored objects start with a "refcount" of one. No need to refcount them a second time after you create them. I've made this even more explicit in the CG::Anchored documentation which I would encourage everyone to read... -mental

SPDesktop
by MenTaLguY 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

I just had a look at the SPDesktop code and noticed that you're not inheriting from GC::Anchored anymore. That's not safe. Without the anchor, how is the garbage collector supposed to know that the SPDesktop shouldn't be collected while the desktop widget still references it? Remember that the desktop widget isn't and can't be managed by the collector itself... If you do switch to manual allocation with the collector like that in the future, please also switch to GC::Managed<GC::SCANNED, GC::MANUAL> instead of GC::Managed<>, so the object won't get automatically collected. (GC::Managed defaults to SCANNED and AUTO) -mental

Okay, whoever decided to derive a view class from Gtk::Window ... that was NOT a good idea. I'm open to suggestions how to split Gtk::Window away from it quickly, because among other things that is preventing us from migrating the UI::View::View hierarchy to the collector. The build is broken until this gets fixed... -mental

Bad, bad, bad. We look ignorant if we do not know the flaws in Inkscape and if you make grandiose claims like that you can be damned sure there will be no shortage of people willing to point them out. Pride comes before a fall. Don't make the users angry, you wont like them when they are angry. Don't underestimate the importance of a vibrant community and good word of mouth. I have seen other projects go sour and developers discouraged from working on the software because of constant criticism brought on by unrealistic claims. Careless talk has consequences, better to undersell inkscape and let the program speak for itself. - Alan

What is proper transform/scaling behavior?
by Eric Jonas 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Thanks again for Inkscape, it really rocks. Does anyone know what the proper behavior is for scaling objects via transform attributes? Is the stroke supposed to be scaled or not? I figured there would be just one answer, but the svg-rendering programs are all over the map here: http://web.mit.edu/jonas/www/anisotropy/ I ran into this when looking at the PS & PDF output of both Inkscape and Batik; at first it appeared to be caused by people assuming SVG's transformation matrices worked the same way as ps, but then I can't quite figure out what the hell the Adobe SVG viewer is doing... So I'm curious to know what the Right behavior is, or if this is an ambiguous region in the standard... Thanks again, inkscape is amazing... ...Eric

Inkscape Website Re-design Contest - Submissions

27 Sep '05

Developers, Well, there were a total of 3 entries for the website re-design contest. They are as follows: http://ciberirmandade.org/gatonegro/var/inkweb/ http://gri3fon.95mb.com/scappy/ http://www.deviantart.com/view/22467478/ I figured we could forgo a community vote given the already limited number of selections. Please review each of these and only concentrate on the visual (and usability) aspects at the moment. We can have whomever the winner is (if we decide to use one of the new designs) put more time into it after the fact. My guess is we should vote on a first choice since the selection is so limited. -Josh

Text to Path
by Craig Bradney 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi, With the chance of being told to RTFM (whats an M anyway?, I still havent read the Scribus ones!).. Where is the/Is there a Convert Text to Path option in Inkscape? (0.42.2) Why? Because importing text in an SVG into Scribus is ugly, due to a) limitations with our text frame sizes, b) PostScript vs SVG text definitions (IIRC). TIA Craig Scribus Team

On the other side, CorelDraw has quite a similar user interface, so new users may come from there ;) Well, and if animation will be a goal, then flash import/export couldn't be wrong ;) greets, Caliga

0.43 Status
by Bryce Harrington 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi all, Okay, it sounds like from the earlier discussions that there is a rough concensus to do 0.43 as 100 points worth of RFE's followed by 100 points of bug fixes, then a hard freeze, and so on through the release. I'm going to start counting from Sept 1st for the RFE's, and will begin counting bugs as soon as we hit 100. Should be fun. :-) I'm curious to see how swiftly we can reach the hard freeze point. I'm betting on Sept 15th. RFE ID Pts Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ None yet! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total: 0 / 100 Bryce

>>oh, btw... we could scale in one direction with crtl-alt+numpad... RFE >>for that? :) >>hm... and shift to scale in two directions? >> >> sorry, i thought it was obvious, but as i think of it again... well, objects could be scaled in one direction by the eight numpad keys surrounding 5. So ctrl+alt+7 would scale to the upper left, ctrl+alt+8 would be the representation for dragging the handle on the top. But now that i think about it, shift should then be used to scale down. ctrl+alt+shift+9 would be the same then dragging the upper right handle towards the lower left. Maybe the Num-Lock key could be used to switch between pixel-accurate scaling and normal scaling. Alternatively: Scaling is always pixel-accurate, Num-Lock is used to switch between up- and downscaling, and shift is used to scale in two directions. ctrl+alt+shift+6 or ctrl+alt+shift+4 would scale the object horizontally, keeping its original center. greets, caliga

pdf_input.inx

Hi, Looking at roadmap I realised that with current extensions infrastructure there should be just one simple step to have pdf2svg import - to write an inx file and to put pdf2svg files in right places. I thiunk I have succeded with the first part, but failed with the other. When I try to import a PDF file, Inkscape tells me: Can't locate Math/Matrix.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/perl/5.8/Parser.pm line 20. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl/5.8/Parser.pm line 20. Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/share/inkscape/extensions/pdf2svg line 20. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/share/inkscape/extensions/pdf2svg line 20. Being a non-programmer I understand now that maybe I tried to do too much :) If anyone is keen to look into this, inx files is attached. I might be back to this task when I learn my Perl math (if ever) :) http://www.solidcode.net/pdf2svg/ is the home page of the script. Alexandre

Inkscape 0.42.2-0 static RPM package
by Jean-Francois Lemaire 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Hello, Better late than never, they say. Anyway, I've set up a static build environment today and tested it on the previous Inkscape release. The resulting static RPM installs and works fine on my RPM-based distro (SuSE LInux 9.3). It would be great if it could be tested on other systems, though. Well, I suppose that means I'm volunteering for the creation of static RPMs from now on :-) Now, should I upload inkscape-0.42.2-0.static.i686.rpm to SourceForge right away or should I just don't bother and wait for the 0.43 release? The i386 package is currently building. -- Jean-François Lemaire

Anyway since I've realised it's only 2.5K, the entire list can now see what a mess it is. All my work was done with version 12 files, but since the UI of CorelDraw hasn't changed fundamentally since version 9 at least (and in fact I can name some bugs that have been around since then too) I'd be surprised if the file format has changed. The large differences you're seeing are almost certainly due to the compression (zlib) which will have the effect of magnifying even a one byte change (eg a creation timestamp). Richard.

Scribus cmdline import/export (patch)
by Bryce Harrington 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Hi Peter and Craig, A while back we discussed an idea of packaging the scribus pdf/ps import/export code for use with Inkscape, since Inkscape's pdf/ps (esp. EPS import) support is so poor. However it occurs to me that another solution would be to simply give scribus some commandline options for doing import/export. E.g. scribus -i filename.eps -e filename.svg Inkscape would then be able to make use of scribus' import/export capabilities via its extension mechanism. Since for all practical intents and purposes, people would need to use scribus for getting eps/pdf converted to svg for use in inkscape already anyway, I don't think this imposes much additional dependency hassle for them. I looked into the scribus code a bit to see how this could be implemented. I wasn't sure how to call the import/export plugins, but I sketched out the code for handling the -i/-e commandline options as a start... See the attached patch. I put TODO's where the code to invoke the import/export plugins would go. I think that if it supported command line options for your input/output operators, scribus would become more widely useful, especially for commercial users (look at http://www.pdftron.com/store.html).

Inkscape 0.43 Hard Freeze
by Bryce Harrington 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

With the completion of the bug party today, it is time to move into the hard freeze for Inkscape 0.43, under the watch of our release wardens pjrm and joncruz. Today's testing unfortunately did not cover all of the new features, but we did manage to bang on the connector code really hard, and scared up a number of bugs in it (no showstoppers, but a couple crashes and a lot of odd behaviors.) We attempted to get the inkboard feature working, but did not succeed in establishing a working connection, so there's at least one bug there... We closed about 10 bugs today, mostly invalid/dupe/outdated, but there were a few fixes. pjrm and joncruz will be the release wardens for this release. All changes to the codebase must go through them. Do not commit to CVS; instead post your changes as patches to the tracker with your rationale for why to include them before or after the 0.43 release. Peter and Jon will decide when the codebase is ready for release. This may include requiring specific bugs be fixed, or tasks to be done. When they feel it is ready, the codebase will be tagged and branched, and we will enter the release phase. I will continue to track tasks for the 0.43 release, but it will be up to them whether to wait until all those tasks are complete or to decide we are ready to release with some tasks still unfinished.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] pdf_input.inx
by Bryce Harrington 25 Sep '05

Okay, I made a couple changes to the Makefile.PL and moved the .pm's into the lib dir and the script into the scripts/ dir, where they should go. Also I fixed up the authors list (good of you to include all of them!) This package installs ok on my machine. I had installed all my prerequisites like this: # cpan -i Math::Matrix # cpan -i Text::PDF::File # cpan -i PDF::API2 Then I could run pdf2svg. Again though, my results with it were not very good. Probably these issues could be fixed, however it would require knowledge of Perl to do so. I think it may be better to focus on using Scribus for PDF import instead though. What do you think?

svg2swf

Has anyone tried this for producing swf files from svg? http://robla.net/1996/svg2swf/ Looks pretty old, but if it works it might be interesting as a plugin. Bryce

inkscape crashes and freezes gdb when clicking on a square that is rotating
by unknown＠example.com 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Hi in inkscape cvs when I create a square and start rotating it with ] and while it is rotating i click on it, 50% of the time inkscape segfaults. As it does it also freezes my terminal. Because of that I couldn't really make a bug report since I have to switch to ctrl+alt+f1 and kill gdb from it and all my output disappears.

I hope to make time to read the SVG Tiny specification soon but I have a feeling it is also a fairly large task too because it includes some basic animation. It also has the advantage of effectively targeting a very specific commercial market allowing inkscap to potentially dominate a particular niche (with total world domination to follow, mwuhahahah!). > maybe import filters could also be a goal. Thing about import export filters is that they could be done in parallel to other work and are a relatively good way to draw in external developers. File filters a discrete seperable part and are exactly the kind of feature which can be postponed indefinately. The trick is to have a stable enough API to allow external developers to come in and work on filters without needing to worry about keeping up with other other changes in the codebase. While I'm talking about file formats I may as well suggest how great it would to make sure that when gradient support is implemented in a file format we should have a generic way to exploit that and make those gradient loaders directly available to the gradient tools without needing to write additional code. (Please remind me to file an RFE for this infrastructure change if I haven't done it within a few day.) Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/

Bugs making it hard to translate tutorials
by Daniel Stiefelmaier 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Hi! While i translated the basic tutorial i came across some things. Some are caused by KDE, some might be bugs, some are caused by my german keyboard layout. As there will be customizable keybindings, some problems might dissolve gracefully... :) There should be default keybindings for different keyboardlayouts then. Well, here are the trouble makers: :) - There is no gradient tool if i press ctrl-f1 - the edit menu should contain the Esc key for unselcting all. - alt+klick does not work with kde, its used there. if its possible, id override the kde setting. if not, there should be a second way to do that. Maybe Alt-Gr. (meta?) - i cant use ` or shift- ` ... in fact, i need to press shift to create an ` . Hard to press Shift+` if you need shift to create ` :) so, no zooming with that key! if we will have localized defaults, id recommend our # / ' key or the ä/ö keys for german. - rotate slow with shift+[ ] does not work. i need to use alt-gr+8 or 9 for [ ]. maybe that causes trouble. oh, btw... we could scale in one direction with crtl-alt+numpad... RFE for that? :) hm... and shift to scale in two directions? okay... think that was it... Caliga

Falls es immer noch nicht stimmt, muss man wohl am Apache rumschrauben... Bitte berichten :) Danke für's melden. Caliga
