Inkscape Announces 0.44 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org The Inkscape community today officially released the latest version of its vector graphic drawing software. Inkscape 0.44 adds many new features, is faster and more usable, better supports SVG, is translated into more languages (17 on last count), and adds a lot of polish and refinement. Major new features include Layers dialog, support for clipping and masking, improved PDF export with transparency, configurable keyboard shortcuts, innovative "node sculpting" capability in Node tool, and the Outline mode. Significant gains are achieved in performance, especially in screen rendering and Node tool. Noticeable user interface changes include docked color swatches, interactive style indicator in the statusbar, a redesigned preferences dialog, a text toolbar, and new icons. Our SVG compliance has also taken a step forward, with the added support for the <switch> tag and ICC color profiles for images. This release also includes hundreds of smaller features, usability enhancements and bug fixes. For several releases, a collection of extension effects was shipped with Inkscape, but the Effects menu to access them was turned off by default. With this release, it has become mature enough, with effects working out of the box on all platforms, so this menu is enabled. The Inkscape developer community would like to thank Google for their sponsorship of five students to work, during the summer of 2006, on several Inkscape development efforts: SVG Filters, Inkboard protocol, PDF export with Cairo, and memory optimization. Download Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X packages: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 For many more details, see the complete Release Notes for 0.44: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_Notes Community submitted screenshots: http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/ About Inkscape Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web Consortium's ([[W3C]]) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML editing. It can also import EPS, PostScript, and most bitmap formats, and exports PNG, PS, PDF and various vector formats. Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source community with a fully [[W3C]] compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool. Additional work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm, emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added through an extension mechanism, and maintaining a friendly, open, community-oriented development process.

pdf export
by Alexandre Prokoudine 25 Jun '06

Hi, Should we explicitly mention that Inkscape's native export to PDF means export to PDF 1.4? Is it a known bug or a misfeature :) that text is not saved in PDF (beta3 for windows)? Alexandre

Report on a review article of vector programs (including Inkscape 0.43)
by Colin Marquardt 25 Jun '06

25 Jun '06

Hi, I finally wrote the report I wanted to write since weeks... :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Report_on_c%27t_article_12/2006 This is a report on a review article of vector programs (including Inkscape 0.43) in the German c't magazine, issue 12/2006, subtitled "Inexpensive vector drawing programs for amateurs" The article can be bought at http://www.heise.de/kiosk/archiv/ct/06/12/168/ The price limit for programs in the test was 100 EUR. Besides Inkscape 0.43, the following programs were reviewed: Tribar Inform 1.0 (http://www.tribarsw.net), Zoner Zoner Draw 5 (http://zoner.com), Serif DrawPlus 8 (http://www.serif.com), Purgatory Intaglio 2.7 (http://www.purgatorydesign.com), Xara Xtreme 2.0f (http://www.xara.com), Microsoft Expression Grafic Designer CTP (formerly Acrylic) (http://www.microsoft.com) They say Expression is likely to cost more than 100 EUR once it's out of its preview phase, so it would not belong in that test anymore. In short, Inkscape got the following rating (from --, -, ., +, ++): Import and Export: - Exact Drawing/Freehand: ++/- Text design/Prepress: ./-- Efficient work/Documentation: +/-- Winners were DrawPlus and Xara, with Expression and Intaglio still better than Inkscape, the rest got lower ratings than Inkscape. The article text itself is IMO more friendly toward Inkscape than the rating says. The text lists some highlights (both positive and negative) of each program, and for Inkscape, they were: * is a bit sluggish * has dynamic connectors * one cannot find help for a specific tool * uses SVG internally and thus is restricted to SVG features; so gradients are limited to linear or radial ones * potrace is far ahead in the quality of its tracing * no justified text * no artistic strokes apart from calligraphy, but it uses the angle information from a tablet, and also supports thickness by mouse speed * writes EPS but doesn't read it in again - this hinders easy exchange of drawings with other programs * bitmap export is limited to PNG * SVG files are included only as a link, if one wants to send a drawing to someone else, one has to take care to manually include all necessary files * documentation is SVG where one can directly use the tools, but one doesn't have links nor an index * documentation cannot really be searched - search is limited to the current document and doesn't jump from hit to hit, but just highlights them all, and the user has to comb though these * an extensive guide is being built at http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.html * normally is stable, but slower than the other programs * is under heavy development, but documentation makes it hard for newbies * usable for productive work I'm now picking some of the good points of the other programs that they deemed worthy of mentioning: * features for web designers (slicing, connect with links, rollover buttons) * animation features and export to animated GIFs * CAD capabilities for technical drawings (dynamic dimension lines) * no program supports connected text boxes * movies for documentation * natural brushes * bitmaps can be distorted * user-defined styles * centrally defined colors that can be changed later (derived colors also change) * device profiles, Pantone, process colors, overprinting when doing color separation, color control bars, crop marks * cliparts, symbols, schematic symbols, fonts * vector and bitmap layer, when changing layer type, tools also change * distortion grid * node sculpting * pressure profile of a tablet stroke can be adjusted retroactively * randomization of strokes in width, hue, transparency * hyphenation, spell checking, indentation, tabulators, multi-page documents * when drawing a path, nodes (or even the node control points) can be moved without finishing the line first * dynamic guides * measurement tool with selectable unit * shadows get more fuzzy with increasing distance from an object * user-defined line ends * copies of an object can be aligned along a path (Please keep in mind that I'm translating this from German, if something is unclear, just ask: colin (at) marquardt-home (dot) de)

Compiling on RHEL 4 (GTK+ 2.4), patches
by Yue Shi Lai 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Hi, I noticed various issues when compiling on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4: 1. Various source files use system functions printf(), sscanf(), mkdir() but did not include the appropriate header files and are therefore GCC fails complaining about the missing prototypes. One might want to add "#include <cstdio>" when using the first two functions, and refer "man 2 mkdir" for the requirements of mkdir. 2. While configure specifies "gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0", there are a few changes that made Inkscape in fact requiring at least GTK+ 2.6, while the changes themselves would be easy to adapt to GTK+ 2.4. 3. One might argue whether this is Inkscape's fault, but similarly, Inkscape did not catch the annoyance of glib 2.4 headers contain macros that are colliding with libintl.h, in a graceful fashion. This can be solved to include libintl.h each time before glibmm/i18n.h (and extern "C" is needed because "#ifdef __cplusplus" is missing in libintl.h from older glibc headers). I also made a (not really useful) patch that at least make --with-perl link properly.

Stroke width rendering bug when switching between normal and outline display mode
by Jasper van de Gronde 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

I just downloaded 0.44 from SF (Inkscape-0.44-1.win32.exe) and found that when I switch from normal to outline (or vice versa) the stroke width is maintained (even though the color does change). Zooming in or out fixes it. Does anyone else have this problem or am I overlooking something? (it seems so obvious a bug that I thought I'd check before filing a bug report) Steps to reproduce: - Set display mode to normal. - Create a line with a stroke width that's visibly larger than one. - Now switch to outline mode. On my system the line retains its original width on screen, zooming in or out changes it to a hair line (as I'd expect in outline mode). To see the reverse, after having zoomed in or out, switch back to normal mode. Now the line remains a hair line, zooming in or out makes it look like it should again.

Hi, I didn't found a webmaster adress so I post it here : On that page : http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/ The link dead for example : http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.44-outlineview.png and : http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.44-clipandmask.png Instead of seeing the file, we get 16x16 dead png... That whould be great to fix it...

Char * file names
by Bob Jamison 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Hi, all, After digging around the code looking for a particular bug, I was struck by the fact that although Inkscape went through the "c++ification" process almost 2 years ago, a great many of the classes are still merely wrappers of the legacy code. One thing I noticed in particular was that char *'s are still used in most of the code for the storage of file names and xml string data. Wouldn't this cycle be a good time to convert these to Glib::ustring? We would get at least three benefits: 1) A uniform container and set of methods for Unicode data 2) Greater pointer safety if we can avoid countless explicit alloc/frees. 3) It would be harder to go out of bounds, since the string carries its size. And if you do, it is an exception, not a malloc or stack corruption. I'm not talking about the GC'd stuff, but those so frequent snips of code like this: if (uri) g_free(uri); uri = g_strdup(newuri); In addition, shouldn't a document's "DocumentBase" uri (and resources it references) be a real W3C URI, or even an IRI? That way we can get a consistent method for referring to things, rather than always calculating paths explicitly all over the code tree. Just a suggestion! :) bob

Re: [Inkscape-devel] A documentation browser
by dsign 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

If xslt processing is going to be done in the final user machine, we should not expect the user have even Java. And Inkscape is already dependent upon libxml2/libxslt (am I wrong?). So, it seems there are three things that can be done: 1.- Have the user to install Java and Saxon to see the documentation. 2.- Achieve the same things that Java and Saxon do using libxslt and some extension module. 3.- Pregenerate all the svg help files and use them pregenerated, as is being done till now. I'm not very fond of 1. Using 3 excludes the option of a thin format for documenting extensions (perhaps as part of .inx files). So I'm going to look closer at 2. At this moment, I have a single question: 1.- If the saxon stuff is implemented and a workaround for invoking Inkscape and getting paragraph height is found, libxslt already implements enough of the standard to be of use? > > > > On 6/22/06, bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...> wrote: > > > > On 6/22/06, Bob Jamison <rwjj@...127...> wrote: > > > So unless Saxon provides some special functionality, this might be an > > > unnecessary lib. > > > > There are two things that make it possible to generate SVG only via > > Saxon (if you can propose a better and more general method, you are > > welcome): > > > > 1. saxon:assign > > > > 2. running external java class org.inkscape.xslt.files with methods > > for checking for existence of files and for running external process > > (inkscape) and returning its output > > > > There's also saxon:function but this one should be easier to work > > around (especially if we use XSLT 2.0). > > > > -- > > bulia byak > > Inkscape.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] merge the filters?
by Hugo Rodrigues 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Hi there, Sorry for the late reply (and for my previous message which was sent by mistake:P)... I had voted yes for the merging before on Jabber. It seems it's been done already anyway. I don't think there will be much instability caused by filters development, and it will be good for us to get some feedback from others. As for what's been done until now, Niko made a good synthesis. Most of SPFilter and SPGaussianBlur is implemented, and next steps should be fixing any missing bits of these classes and integrating them with Niko's visualization part. Things started a bit slowly but seem to be speeding up now and on the right way. I'll keep you informed on progress... Hugo

about?
by bulia byak 22 Jun '06

Unless some new showstopper bugs are found, I think pre4 should be OK to release as 0.44. There's one thing to be done before that, however. I really don't like the new About screen. I think it's below the level of quality we've established in past versions. Am I alone in that? Andy said he would work on a new one - is there any progress on that? -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Releasing Inkscape 0.44 soon?
by Bryce Harrington 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Cmarqu has pointed out that C't magazine is running an article in their next release promoting the Inkscape 0.44 release. This comes out in 2 days. This means we have a huge opportunity here if 0.44 can be finished and windows packages made available by June 24th. If we fail to achieve this, we will probably greatly disappoint a lot of readers who will come looking for this release. As I understand it, there are no bugs left holding up the 0.44.0 release, and it's only cosmetic issues at this point (e.g. about screen tweaks). I know for an art tool that getting cosmetics well polished is important, but I would like to strongly suggest we release ASAP, and put a big priority on getting Windows and OSX packages generated of that within the next two days, so that we can take advantage of the C't publication. We have planned a 0.44.1 exactly with the intention of avoiding allowing small issues like these from delaying a release. Let's go with whatever is easiest for the about screen for now, and leave perfecting it for 0.44.1. Bryce

XCF support
by David Neary 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi all, I don't know if everyone saw my recent blog entry on XCF: http://blogs.gnome.org/view/bolsh/2006/06/19/0 Through that I found Henning Makholm's xcftools at http://henning.makholm.net/software - he has abstracted away the GIMP, and coded a decent png/pnm export filter for XCF which takes into account layer masks and layer modes. You can also extract individual layers with it. It would be really cool to have this encapsulated in a nice simple API for getting layers from an XCF - and I thought it might benefit ye (since ye're doing XCF support) to have a look at the programs. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary bolsh@...85... Lyon, France

merge the filters?
by Aaron Spike 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Shall we merge the filters branch into trunk? I've never done this before, but I suspect that it works something like this. Inside of a working copy of trunk type: svn merge -r 12093:HEAD https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/branches/svg-filters and then commit after fixing any conflicts. Does taht sound about right? Should this happen now-ish? Aaron Spike

Layers dialog
by Jon A. Cruz 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Well, I think we're hitting the home stretch here. I've folded in most of the main functional changes, including scrolling, pop-up menus, in-place editing of layer names, and not rebuilding the entire tree every time you select a different layer. Depending on how robust things are, I may be able to add the eye and lock icons, and to switch the status bar's layer selector to use the same layer manager back-end. However, any poking at it people can do in the mean time would be helpful.

coordinate system flip for 0.45
by MenTaLguY 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

One thing I'd like to address for the 0.45 release cycle is finally flipping Inkscape's coordinate system to match the SVG specification. However, before we can do that, there's one big looming issue: Grid and guides are stored in "Sodipodi coordinates". That means, for example, that a horizontal guide at position 0 will be at the bottom of the page. To address this, I'd like to propose a new feature: allow the user to specify the origin for grid and guides. The UI for the setting would be one of those 9x9 button grid things, which lets you pick one of nine positions: - top left - top center - top right - left center - center - right center - bottom left - bottom center - bottom right Guide positions would be reckoned from the selected edges, so that changing from top left to top right would flip the position of vertical guides. Thoughts? -mental

Licensing questions for livarot/libnr
by Enrico Detoma 21 Jun '06

21 Jun '06

Dear Inkscape developers, I would like to use livarot, which is now part of the Inkscape 0.43 source tree, in a LGPL library. I see that livarot was extensively patched with respect to its original public domain version and integrated with libnr. However I see that both libraries' license was not changed (public domain), with the exception of a few libnr classes (which I do not need), which are explicitly marked as GPL. For the LGPL library I'm working on, do I comply with the license by taking the patched Inkscape version of livarot/libnr (of course ensuring that no explicit GPL code is taken from the rest of Inkscape source tree)? Thank you in advance for your answer. Best regards, Enrico Detoma

Babelfish translation on www.Inkscape.org

Hi Inkscape translators ! I have just tried to use the babelfish translation on our homepage. Did you try it too? It is located on the bottom of the page. translate to [ Chinese French German Italian Japanese Korean Portuguese Spanish ] When i use the German button, the translation is terrible, to be polite. It produces nonsens and bullshit with no sense at all. It is useless. A relict from old times,when inkscape had no translation of the homepage. Currently we have german, french, italic and spanisch translation which is maintained. It could be improoved. Maybe. I think the best solution is to disable babelfish completly. How do you think about that? Please try that link in your language and give your feedback in this mailinglist.

When the artwork's done, we'll be tagging and releasing from the release branch anyway. -mental

Deptool on Win32
by Bob Jamison 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

We have been using the Makedep perl scripts for over two years now, quite successfully. There have been a couple of problems, though which I have been trying to alleviate. One is the requirement for Perl on Win32, which is moot now that there is a full Perl distro in the lib bundle. The other is that the original code is very unreadable, and difficult to maintain. The original SF.net project seems to have gone into hibernation, and the owner hasn't responded to my emails. Also, it would be a great benefit to us if we could process the data in various forms to analyze the inter-file dependencies, and maybe generate charts from it. So, last week I did a reimplementation of the Makedep functionality in C++, calling it DepTool. The file was added to the tree this morning. The makefiles were tweaked to use it instead of mkdep.pl. When it runs, it produces 3 files: make.files : a listing of all of the files which will be analyzed further make.dep : the OBJECTS and INCLUDES definitions, and the dependency list make.ref : a new thing, this is basically the inverse of a dependency list. It lists all .h files, and all files recursively which depend of them. This has the potential to be -very- useful. It takes about 15 seconds to run on the /src directory. It -seems- like it is taking longer, but that it because it doesn't output progress info, to save CPU. It is actually -much- faster than Perl. This is with the added burden of make.ref, which is a slow search. Let me know if you have any major problems with it. bob

trying to get Inkscape 0.44pre work on SuSE

Hi, Is there some trick to make Inkscape 0.44pre4 work on SuSE 10.1? I compiled it from sources and now I can't get it working (SIGSEGVs). I looked from sources and gdb it and find out it's something to do with UTF-8. Some one got clue how to make this work?? Tuukka

Color Cursors
by Joshua A. Andler 19 Jun '06

19 Jun '06

Hey all, The initial commit of color cursors is in... at this point it still needs to read from svg as opposed to pixbufs, and it will also need to be optional for color vs b&w (per bbyak). For note, this does gracefully get around the win2000 issue we had last time (it just falls back on the b&w xpms). I probably won't touch this again for the next few days, but I figured I'd be the first to commit in the reopened trunk. ;) Now to go finish the tutorial and screenshot stuff. I will add the New Feature post when it's complete. :) -Josh

Freeze Lifted; Inkscape 0.44 Branched
by Bryce Harrington 18 Jun '06

18 Jun '06

Development for 0.45 may resume on the main Inkscape subversion tree. :-) Aaron Spike has created the 0.44 release branch, and him and Jon soon give blessing to the release itself, so that we can begin announcements. Soon all the anticipation will be done! As mentioned previously, we also plan to create a series of stable releases, starting with 0.44.1. Presumably we can expect these every couple weeks or so. We also hope to have 0.45 out within a couple months. Any outstanding branches or patches that we postponed during 0.44 should be merged into HEAD. It's a good idea to pace yourself with these merges so it'll be easier to sort out conflicts. Bryce

inkscape rpm and libexpat
by Ralf Stephan 18 Jun '06

18 Jun '06

Hello, I thought I'd try to install our inkscape rpm on SuSE 10.1 but this is not possible out of the box, we rely on an old version of the expat library, the rpm needs libexpat.so.0, while SuSE ships version so.1. >From a look at rpmfind.net, the switch to .so.1 happened with version 2.0 and SuSE are the first and only to have this. How do we handle this case? Link to an older rpm ? ralf

Win32 lib bundle
by Bob Jamison 17 Jun '06

17 Jun '06

Hi all, Adib informed me of a dependency bug that one user experienced, where Python would not run because it depends on msvcr71.dll. We currently add msvcr70.dll to the Inkscape package, but apparently not everyone has 7.1. So I made another lib bundle that adds the newer dll. I also included bugfix updates of GLib and Cairo. It is here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/gtk28-060617.7z I suggest that for this release we supply both dlls, just to be on the safe side. DLLs dont do versions like Unix. The exact file name must be found. bob

Inkscape 'breaks' SVG
by Ruud Steltenpool 17 Jun '06

17 Jun '06

Inkscape is implemented as if things that render the same (or just similar even) are the same too, thereby destroying clean code. Which is wrong and makes it near useless for coders, heavily frustrating the number 1 strong point of SVG: letting coders and clickers cooperate. If i use Inkscape for adjusting 1 thing, i want the SVG code of only that 1 thing to change, not have lots of my SVG code changed just because of some internal representation or convenience for the Inkscape implementors. 4 lines together visually forming a square, is not the same as a real square. A name/value attribute pair can sometimes by SVG specification be replaced with some CSS, but even that makes a difference in semantics. And with SVG support usually being partial, it often also makes a difference in rendering. Cheers, Ruud http://svg.startpagina.nl

tablet info
by Jon A. Cruz 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Hi, I'm trying to get a handle on some of the tablet support and features. If people could run wacdump and then send me their results directly, that would help http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/wacdump I'm interested in things that don't work but that you'd like to (eraser, buttons, etc.). Also, aside from which items get listed, which do and do not change. For example, if it shows you TILT_X and TILT_Y but they never change their value. And especially what happens when switching to the eraser and any different devices (does "SERIAL" change, etc). As you might have guessed, I don't have a tablet yet myself. However, I would like to chase down a few issues and get things enhanced. For the moment you can just respond to me directly so as to not clutter the lists. Once I get a bit of info, I'll start a few more threads on the lists discussing things. Thanks

Authors needed for Inkscape 0.44 articles
by Bryce Harrington 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Do you have an itch to say something about Inkscape? Well, we need you! The 0.44 release is coming up _awfully_ soon, and we need people who can tell people about it! :-) Basically, what we need are folks to write articles about inkscape 0.44 for online magazines (both Libre and commercial magazines.) Any subject is fine; if nothing else, the articles should serve to help introduce other users to the new features and show how to take good advantage of them. We especially need people who can write for non-English magazines, to help spread inkscape worldwide, so if you are fluent in a non-English language, you are especially valuable!! :-) Here is how to do articles on Inkscape: a) pick a magazine to write for; b) search their site for a page about 'author info' or 'writing' or etc. (maybe linked to from their About or Contacts pages.); d) decide what you want to write about (maybe Inkscape 0.44!!); e) write to the editor with a proposal for your article; f) gain approval and write your article; g) get it published, perhaps with some $$ in return. And h) let Inkscape know about your article, so we can link to it from our homepage! Bryce

Inkscape --with-perl
by Daniel Fort 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

I've been building inkscape from the svn sources weekly and about two weeks ago the perl option stopped working on my test system. I'm not really sure if it is a problem with inkscape or this system, a Gentoo Linux AMD64 box, so I didn't file a bug report. However, since it seems that a new release is imminent, I'll report this to the list. ./configure --prefix=/opt --with-gnome-print --with-python --with-perl --enable-inkboard --enable-lcms --enable-binreloc Note that removing '--with-perl' from the configuration options results in a clean build.

icons still missing :(
by David Christian Berg 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Hey guys! I'm sorry, for being so stupid, but after Wolfi was to kind to help me out with my Debian problem, I had with Inkscape and that libgc1c2, I face the next problem -- again. I compiled the (almost) latest SVN and still don't have any icons. This problem was not solved in for me in the mean time, I just couldn't try to solve it anymore, because of the other problem... What I get is: ** (inkscape:29395): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document* sp_repr_read_file(con st gchar*, const gchar*): assertion `Inkscape::IO::file_test( filename, G_FILE_T EST_EXISTS )' failed ** (inkscape:29395): WARNING **: Unable to read keys file ${datarootdir}/inkscap e/keys/default.xml ** (inkscape:29395): WARNING **: failed to load icon 'file_import' ... All the other icons to come after that. I guess it's easy to fix, but how? Thanks! David

OS X Universal packages of Inkscape 0.44pre4
by yipdw 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Hi all, Here's a first attempt at Universal packages of Inkscape 0.44pre4. It is basically a composition (using lipo) of the existing 0.44pre4 package with a Mactel compilation of 0.44pre4 from SVN. I have tested it on a MacBook Pro and PowerBook G4, both running OS X Tiger, and things seem to work fine. Please hammer it :) url: http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yipdw/Inkscape_0.43+0.44pre4_universal.dmg md5: 0ffe7829eb4ca16c87e4f17e12f9d8f7 Inkscape_0.43+0.44pre4_universal.dmg Not sure if I should be sending this to inkscape-testers as well -- if so, can someone forward this email? Thanks. - David

A packaging question (was Re: new packaging for OS X)

Back in April, I was working on OS X packaging, and whilst not entirely back up-to-date, I have finished a substantial tranche on 'distcheck' and I am back on the osx-app.sh. One thing that I don't understand is where the 'inkscape.mo' (locale) files come from. They are in your package, but not mine. I don't see them in the /usr/local/share directory or the build tree, they don't seem to be created by 'make install'. I think that I can see a rsync step that copies them into the bundle, but it appears to copy from a directory that I don't have. Hidden in plain view! Grateful for any hint as to where I should be looking oe what I should be doing to achieve the construction of this part of the bundle. Otherwise I think that I am doing O.K. at the moment. I think that there are some UI issues on the Mac - should I raise these now, or leave them till the next version? It would be nice to have a plan for a UB, but if this cannot be achieved in this release it might be best to leave it over and concentrate on matters that we know we can get done. It would be good to have a release or at least an FC for July 22nd, the date of Lug Radio Live. Ben

reproducable CRASH: Changing stroke on an image
by David Christian Berg 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hey guys! Now that I finally can use Inkscape again, I found the first crash bug and would consider it a show stopper, if it still exists. Steps to reproduce: 1. Import an image as image and not pattern 2. Open fill and stroke dialogue 3. Switch to stroke style tab 4. CRASH There is not backtrace available, gdb just says "no stack" but the gdb output is attached. Take care! David

Build break
by Bob Jamison 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

I submitted a patch the other day for this, but somehow it made it back into the tree. Selection.h has an over-specified method, which is ok in g++ 3.x, but breaks builds for 4.x. This really must not make it into any tarballs. Line 278: /** * @return A vector containing the 2 (top-left and bottom-right) * corners of the selection bounding box. */ std::vector<NR::Point> Selection::getBBoxPointsOuter() const; Should be: std::vector<NR::Point> getBBoxPointsOuter() const; bob

possible fix for composite crash (#1457003)
by MenTaLguY 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Check the bug for a patch attachment. Please review and verify that it solves the crash (I don't have composite, I'm just taking the approach of fixing the obviously wrong things in the code and hoping that works). -mental

Emergency save but file not present?
by Colin Marquardt 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Hi, on IRC, we had two occurrences on the last two days where people had crashes with emergency save activated, but didn't have a saved file around. One of them was Thomas Vander Stichele (from Fluendo), and he is running 0.43 from Fedora Core 4, and the file has not been saved before. Is there something we can do to make that emergency save as bulletproof as possible? This is one of the worst bugs to have IMO. Of course, crashes should not happen in the first place, but if they happen... Cheers, Colin

0.44 plan of attack
by Aaron Spike 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Bug fixing energy seems to be dwindling. To me this means it is release time. I'd like to get input from others on a few topics. 1) Translation status. Translation is an eternal project. I don't know how to quantify what is good enough for release. Arpad, Matiphas, how are we doing? I think it is time to get serious about this hard freeze and turn to patches, but I want to make sure you are ready. 2) Quality assurance. I looked through the bug tracker. We have some new issues. The font selector crash [1501150] is easy to reproduce, but also quite easy to avoid. Jon was looking into [1501156] last I heard. I've been waiting to hear from bbyak about the snapping bugs [1429049]. I think we are going to hear about [1497837] libgc-6.7 a lot but there seems to be a solution. Are we release quality? If not, I think we are very close. What do others think? 3) Stable branch. We're switching things up a bit this time. We have had a slightly warmed over freeze. And we plan to maintain a stable branch for 0.44. Could we perhaps tie up loose ends and tighten down our committing habits tomorrow, Thursday June 8th? Then in the evening US Central time, I will branch 0.44 we can begin the absolute freeze on that branch, all fixes going into the tracker, and reopen HEAD for those eager to wreak havoc. If all goes well cut the release from the branch on Tuesday. Sound like a plan? Speak up now. :-) Aaron Spike

OLPC and SVG
by Jon A. Cruz 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

I just hit a short entry on the One Laptop Per Child's interface, and it's chat program. It uses Zeroconf and SVG! http://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2006/05/001414.php Guess I've got to dust off my old Intel PC to try to get an VM running that now. Aside from other things, it might be very interesting to get interoperable with that. Perhaps even add that as a "target platform" for Inkscape drawing, etc. like SVG Tiny... Plus there's mention of a custom protocol. hmmm.....

SVG drawing for OLPC?

Inkscape 0.44 Hard Freeze
by Bryce Harrington 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Hi all, We have just this evening reached our bug fixing goal. There is one must-fix bug (see below) but I think it may be out of date anyway. Thus, tonight we are officially moving into Hard Freeze, the final phase in the release cycle before Inkscape 0.44 is released. >From this point until release, DO NOT COMMIT anything to SVN without approval from our Release Wardens (Jon Cruz and Aaron Spike). If you have bug fixes to contribute, please post them to the patch tracker and notify them. Jon and Aaron, you two now have absolute authority over the codebase between now and when 0.44.0 is tagged. Use this time to review the codebase for any last minute bugs, must-fix bugs that we've missed until now, or other flaws that should be fixed before release. When you feel things are ready, create the 0.44.0 tag. We will split into the stable 0.44 and development 0.45 branches at that point. I would encourage you two to try to complete the Hard Freeze within a week. Ideally, it should only take a few days to check and finalize everything, so that should be doable. If it looks like it'll take longer, let's discuss some alternate plans. Here is the status for the remaining bugs I know about: * We have just a single must-fix bug left (#1489175 "Win2K: Crash on Startup: entry point FreeAddrInfo not found"), however from the limited information on that bug, it sounds like it's probably out of date, so I'm not going to worry about it. You can take a look at it and decide what to do about it. #1489175 * There's some snapping bugs that haven't gotten attention, that you may want to review. They weren't included in the must-fix list due to lack of owner. #1488128 * We've gotten a bunch of reports from Debian Unstable users about Inkscape failing to run. This affects users of both old 0.43 and 0.44pre1. Dunno if this is a distro issue, or a gtk issue, or what, but probably needs more analysis. #1497837 * There are still some font issues related to the new font control. If you feel these have not been adequately addressed, consider disabling the font rendering in the font selector for this release, or other actions to hide the issue until post-release. #1494337 There's probably others, but you can decide the ones you care most about. Remember though, at this point the game is to minimize the impact of the bugs, rather than to see them fixed. This may mean hiding the symptoms (or trading them for more tolerable bugs), or simply list them as known issues, and put them on the must-fix list for 0.44.1. Bryce

make distcheck ?
by Ben Fowler 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

Is this still a stumbling block? I can get 'make check' to work, but 'make distcheck' fails with a message like: In file included from ../../src/test-all.cpp:483: ../../src/color-profile-test.h:8:26: test-helpers.h: No such file or directory It seems to have unpacked the tarball, configured and 'made' it, and is failling at doing a 'make check' on the fresh tree. 1. Is this what 'make distcheck' should be doing? And is it necessary? 2. It looks to me as if 'test-helpers.h' is not being put into the .tgz I am working on the basis that either this file should be so included, or 'make distcheck' should not be requiring it. Grateful for any advice or suggestions. It may be that there is some part of the invocation of 'make distcheck' that I am not doing properly ... Ben

Please help us fix this bug!
by bulia byak 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

Of the frequently reported "known problems", one bug is especially annoying because it is caused by nothing else but a call to a standard GDK function. For some reason, this call triggers an assert if xorg.conf has a "Composite" extension enabled. For details and pointers, see this bug's comments: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=1457003&group_… In brief, the trouble is caused by GDK calls from sp_dash_selector_menu_item_new in widgets/dash-selector.cpp In Inkscape, this code did not change since Sodipodi times. It may be that we use the GDK functions in a wrong or deprecated way, or it may be that GDK itself is broken. This is the only place these functions are used in the entire codebase, and it's a bit embarassing to crash because of such trivial thing. So, are there any GDK/GTK/X Window knowledgeable people in the audience who could help us fix this? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

June issue of Linux Format magazine
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

I just picked up the June issue of Linux Format magazine (Issue 80). Their cover this time is on "Libre Graphics", and is coverage of the LGM. Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus and Xara each got two pages. Also, Inkscape people can be seen teeny-tiny on the pic of the lecture hall on the initial page, and then recognizable later on the Xara pages checking it out. Oh, and I was personally very excited to see it, as it's the first time I've really been interviewed for anything significant. :-) Oh, and coming up, I hear that issue 81 will probably have a good article by Jon Phillips, covering many things.

localization problems + questions

bugs repro for 1499971 and 1497837
by Jon A. Cruz 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

Can anyone out there repro either of these problems? One is the libgc-6.7 problem, the other is with the libsmooth theme engine. I *think* it would be helpful to at least warn on these conditions. For the libgc problem, my guess is that a call to gettext() would return null. If anyone can verify the problem and then at least verify that we can detect it by gettext's misbehavior, that would be handy. For the problem with the engine, I *think* we might be able to detect it if we can query for some known module name. Using the gtk_rc_find_module_in_path function might do the trick.

Inkscape hangs when printing isn't configured
by unknown＠example.com 04 Jun '06

04 Jun '06

Hi ! I have tried "Inkscape pre2" on my Kubuntu Linux computer ( with KDE ). Printing is not configured on this computer, because i have no printer on that one. I have started inkscape from the commandline to test the newest pre2 autopackage. When i tried to print, the print-window and inkscape freezes. I waited a minute for a message window to appear which would say:" there is a problem with printing." After killing inkscape, i saw on the commandline the message: "lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable" . I think that is a bug. The message window (with error out) should appear in inkscape. Greetings von Halenbach

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape 0.44 Hard Freeze
by David Vincent Himelright 04 Jun '06

04 Jun '06

FYI, I just joined inkscape-devel and I'm building on Mac OS X/PPC. There are some redefinitions of preprocessor macros in path-prefix.h that break the build on my platform (CREATE_GRADIENTSDIR, CREATE_PALETTESDIR, CREATE_PATTERNSDIR). It's pretty clear that most of the paths that now point to locations inside of the application package should probably instead point to the "Application Support" directory in an individual user's home folder for application-generated data. It's less clear to me whether it's a good idea to move a number of the other resource directories outside of the app package simply to be more "mac like" (probably more trouble than it's worth). I'm planning to spend part of the weekend working on a little extension for some linguistics features (syntax trees), but with builds apparently slightly broken on OS X (one minor change necessary), I'd be more than happy to contribute a patch, work with the Mac module owner, and test.

But they're all gratis, and the ability to target multiple architectures is certainly free and courtesy of GCC. I'm not sure if their linker is open-source, not to mention lipo. In theory, there's no reason you couldn't put every single target up on the same build server somewhere. In practice, you'd probably at least have to be running opendarwin to build with Apple's GCC. Problem is, fink doesn't support universal binaries. I guess what this means is that to get to a universal binary you: a) build with fink on an Intel box, then a PPC box, then merge with lipo b) switch to darwinports (allegedly support universal binaries) c) curl the packages and script a universal build from source (rewrite fink) I'm not really sure if fink is considered to be part of the Inkscape build process. Am I going out on a limb if I stray from the build instructions? Is it better to stick with fink because it provides a distribution channel? --David

Filter effects - blur test
by Niko Kiirala 03 Jun '06

03 Jun '06

Here is the first test on rendering filter effects. It applies constant gaussian blur to every rendered object of type NRArenaShape. This is mostly to test the speed of rendering filter effects in real time. This test does not apply blurring to all types of objects - that would result in blurring the object, blurring the layer the (already blurred) object is on, etc. The biggest problem at the moment seems to be transparent areas appearing, when an object is drawn in several smaller pieces rather than in one piece. Guess the object needs to be drawn on a larger buffer thet is larger than the result will be - thus allowing blurring to take in to account the pixels outside the actual area, we are rendering to. -- Niko Kiirala niko@...1267... http://niko.kiirala.com/

NEEDED: Win32 User for testing
by Bryce Harrington 03 Jun '06

03 Jun '06

Hi all, If you are on Windows and and have a little extra time this week, you can help Inkscape out considerably. There are several _bad_ bugs that are going to afflict Windows users of our new Inkscape release, that we may have a decent chance to eliminate. However, unfortunately our developers don't have access to Win32 machines, so cannot easily test their fixes to make sure they've fixed the issues. If you are on Win32, and are comfortable installing and running extremely cutting edge stuff (including running gdb), you can help. We need someone who for the next week or two can install the latest code and test out a few bugs we're working on. This is a great way to contribute to Inkscape and to directly make it better for Windows users, so if you've wanted to do that but felt that your technical skills were a bit light, this may be a perfect opportunity. Email me if you're interested in helping, or contact Jon Cruz by email or IRC, to get started. Bryce

That's a huge topic :) I will cover some basics now, but the best you can do is join our jabber chat and ask your questions there. Most of the time there are people there who will be able to answer your questions, or at least give some useful pointers. > From > what I understand, some callback from the UI should create the SPFilter, No, it's the other way round. SPObjects are created by the XML tree (which we call "repr" tree) of the document. Each element in source SVG creates a repr (branch in the repr tree, an object of the class Inkscape::XML::Node), and each repr creates a corresponding SPObject. A repr stores information in attributes and their values, so it corresponds 1:1 to the source XML, but SPObject may store its information in any convenient way. The correspondence between repr names and SPObject types is in the file sp-object-repr.cpp. Add your new SPFilter object to it, then load an SVG file with a filter, and that should trigger the creation of an SPFilter object upon load. Most of the time information goes downstream from repr to SPObject. Whenever an attribute of a repr changes, its SPObject's set method gets called with the new data. This method should parse this information and store it in SPObject's fields, and if necessary call display update. > which in turn is responsible for updating the respective XML node, everytime > a change is made to the filter. Most of the time it's the repr that updates the SPObject, not vice versa. However the reverse update is also possible: each SPObject has the write method which updates or creates the repr from the SPObject. But this is used mostly during save to plain SVG when all the repr tree needs to be recreated. > I also presume that this XML component is > not of much use for Niko, since he gets the data to display from the > SPFilter.

As I said repr is created automatically, and at first you can do even without a write method in your SPFilter. The set method is much more important. > (or correct) these thoughts, and define some milestones so that I can make > sure I'm developing things on the right order and that Niko always has the > structures he needs from me.

Tooltip bug in pre1...
by Spyros Blanas 02 Jun '06

Hi, I am testing pre1 on WinXP SP2. Am I the only one to experience problems with escaped HTML characters in the tooltips? (see attached image for an example) Also, I don't know if it is reproducible on Linux systems. Can anyone else reproduce this, so as to file a bug report? - Spyros Blanas

0.44pre2 distcheck
by Aaron Spike 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

I get: ../../src/extension/implementation/script.cpp:30:26: error: registrytool.h: No such file or directory Now, rwst has finally beaten it into my head that this message means I need to add something to a Makefile*something*. First question is which one? Am I correct that autogen.sh uses Makefile.am (including Makefile_insert) to generate Makefile.in which is used by configure to create Makefile? So I should add registrytool.* to Makefile_insert. Next question is where in that file should it go? There are a number of different groups of files. I should also ask. registrytool.h was most recently included in src/extension/implementation/script.cpp by ishmal in revision 12129. But it was originally added to the source in rev 10506 with the comment "new files for win32 only". Is this file now being used on other platforms? Thanks in advance for the education. :-) Aaron Spike

NEW: Native PDF export
by bulia byak 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

I have committed the patch by Ulf Erikson that adds native PDF export (based on PS export code). It has many limitations but at least it's better than what we have now, because it does not require Ghostscript and, most importantly, handles transparency. Complex illustrations, such as this one: http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.41-CVS-linux-davinci… are shown quite faithfully by Adobe Acrobat after saving as PDF (though much slower than in Inkscape... and I thought our renderer is the slowest, heh). Current limitations include: no text (check "Convert text to path"), no gradient on stroke, no clipping/masking/patterns, no eccentric elliptic gradients, no bitmaps. I know we're probably going to have at least one SoC student working on PDF export, and I think it will make a perfect sense for that student to work on this existing code to improve it. However, even if the student will choose some other approach (e.g. using Cairo), it will be easy to replace this code. For now, however, it's the best we have, and I want this to be in 0.44. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Layer opacity
by Jon A. Cruz 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

This got delayed in order to track down and fix the save as ODG crashing bug, but it's in now. Please give it a good workout to make sure it's solid. It's been pending for a bit, but it gives a lot of benefit to end users. There were no main objects in the Jabber room, and even at least one "the main reason I use layers in gimp". It's gotten a good shakedown with GTK+ 2.6.10, so anyone with 2.8.x would be very welcome to finish running it through it's paces. (Oh, and for translators, it did bring in one change of adding "Opacity:" to that dialog)

PyXML missing - bug on 0.44pre1 on WinXP
by Spyros Blanas 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi! I was testing 0.44pre1 build for Win32 and spotted that PyXML issues with extensions (when having installed python seperately on windows) have not yet been resolved. I don't know if there is a way to hack around this (ideas: invoking python with full path, changing PATH variable before execution, installing PyXML on user's machine if not available) but at least there should be a more informative message on what is going on. The current message hardly clarifies anything: "The inkex.py module requires PyXML. Please download the latest version from <http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/>." Average-user questions: What is inkex.py? What is a module? What is PyXML? Why is it required? (Let alone the fact that this installer crashes during installation on my machine and required installation via the command-line) Remember, this is a *release* and there will be plenty non-programmers using it. And I think that such an error will prevent many people from enjoying the work done on extensions. - Spyros Blanas

package problems with ./configure
by tj 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

How do you configure and by-pass the package stuff. My system seems to have everything neccassary to build inkscape. But, since I built a lot from source and Slackware packages they are not in a .pc file so ./configure fails. So, can is there a configure option that will build the make files and let me take care of any library problems by hand? My libs are in what is considered the "statndard" dirs. /usr/lib, /lib, /usr/X11/lib, etc... tj

by bulia byak 31 May '06

31 May '06

As anyone who uses Inkscape for real work knows, stroked shapes are prone to becoming invisible at certain zooms. It's especially bad for complex path, and playing with L-system effect recently made it so annoying for me that I searched for a fix. Which turned out to be quite trivial, so I committed it. This closes at least two bugs: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1244737&group_id=9… http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1254932&group_id=9… and a related bug where a complex path actually disappears (not just becomes invisible) after an offset: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1498546&group_id=9… Of course this change (in livarot lib) is somewhat risky, but in my testing it works well. Very complex paths that would previously simply disappear, now may display certain small rendering artefacts (horizontal lines), but i think it's much better than becoming totally invisible. Please test thoroughly; if you see something bad, especially crashes, I would back this out. For those interested, the reason for this bug was given by Fred in this comment: shape_euler_err = 4, // computations result in a non-eulerian graph, thus the function cannot do a proper polygon // despite the rounding sheme, this still happen with uber-complex graphs // note that coordinates are stored in double => double precision for the computation is not even // enough to get exact results (need quadruple precision, i think). So in most cases this error was caused by rounding errors, not by the shape graph really being non-Eulerian (which means some nodes have more in-coming edges than out-coming edges). So I simply removed the check for Eulerianness for stroke shape. My understanding is that even if we hit some shape which is not Eulerian, the renderer will simply do some artefacts but should not crash. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Possible fix for odf saving
by Jon A. Cruz 31 May '06

31 May '06

I think I've checked in a fix for the ODG bug [ 1489961 ] Autopackage: crash on save as ODG http://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detail&aid=1489961&group_id=93438&atid=604306 However, since it wasn't actually crashing on my system, I'm not sure it fixes 100% of the problem. Can anyone who's seen the crashing first verify that they still have a crash upon saving .odg, and then update to the latest changes and check that it solves all of the crashing? Thanks.

Need help on bug repro for #1497837
by Jon A. Cruz 31 May '06

Can anyone out there reproduce bug 1497837? [1497837] crash with GTK+ 2.8.17 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detail&aid=1497837&group_id=93438&atid=604306 I can see where the final crash point might be caused by a few different things, but running with --g-fatal-warnings could catch the first step in things breaking down and give another helpful backtrace. Thanks.

gcc 4.1.1 compile warnings
by Jon A. Cruz 30 May '06

30 May '06

I was looking over things a little more, and I *think* I know a better approach to solve the warnings. Once I started looking at things, I realized that in at least some of the cases we have an SPObject* we need to end up with. Conceptually that's a GTK+/Glib object, not a C++ one, so we just need to work in the right paradigm My first thought was something like this for sp-flowtext.cpp: void* rawptr = 0; SPObject* source_obj = 0: ... group->layout.getSourceOfCharacter( it, &rawptr, &span_text_start_iter); source_obj = reinterpret_cast<SPObject*>(rawptr); However, Ralf pointed out that using a reinterpret_cast<> itself triggered that warning. After I had that kicking around in my head for a while, I finally realized what I was missing: SP_OBJECT() We need to force an unknown pointer to be one to an SPObject. However, that's a Glib object, not a base C++ one. And we already have that macro to coerce an arbitrary pointer into a pointer to an SPObject. Plus it does all its magic in C-land, not C++ land. So using it should clear up the warnings, and also is the "proper" GTK+ thing to do. However... since I'm only on gcc 3.3 here, can someone else try this to see if it cleans things up on gcc 4.1.x? Thanks (I'm expecting that at the worst the SP_OBJECT macro will have the warning pop back up. But if it does then we'll have a single point in the codebase to change to fix everything, instead of needing to maintain every place that other function is used) Index: src/sp-flowtext.cpp =================================================================== --- src/sp-flowtext.cpp (revision 12065) +++ src/sp-flowtext.cpp (working copy) @@ -558,21 +558,23 @@ if (set_y) sp_repr_set_svg_double(span_tspan, "y", anchor_point [NR::Y]); - union { SPObject *op; void *vp; } source_obj; + SPObject* source_obj = 0; + void* rawptr = 0; Glib::ustring::iterator span_text_start_iter; - group->layout.getSourceOfCharacter(it, &source_obj.vp, &span_text_start_iter); - gchar *style_text = sp_style_write_difference ((SP_IS_STRING(source_obj.vp) ? source_obj.op->parent : source_obj.op)->style, group->style); + group->layout.getSourceOfCharacter(it, &rawptr, &span_text_start_iter); + source_obj = SP_OBJECT(rawptr); + gchar *style_text = sp_style_write_difference ((SP_IS_STRING(source_obj) ? source_obj->parent : source_obj)->style, group->style); if (style_text && *style_text) { span_tspan->setAttribute("style", style_text); g_free(style_text); } - if (SP_IS_STRING(source_obj.vp)) { - Glib::ustring *string = &SP_STRING(source_obj.vp)- >string; + if (SP_IS_STRING(source_obj)) { + Glib::ustring *string = &SP_STRING(source_obj)->string; union { SPObject *op; void *vp; } span_end_obj; Glib::ustring::iterator span_text_end_iter; group->layout.getSourceOfCharacter(it_span_end, &span_end_obj.vp, &span_text_end_iter); - if (span_end_obj.op != source_obj.op) { + if (span_end_obj.op != source_obj) { if (it_span_end == group->layout.end()) { span_text_end_iter = span_text_start_iter; for (int i = group- >layout.iteratorToCharIndex(it_span_end) - group- >layout.iteratorToCharIndex(it) ; i ; --i)

Difference between SPObject::requestModified and requestDisplayUpdate?

Hey Mental, Could you explain what the difference is between SPObject::requestModified and SPObject::requestDisplayUpdate? I notice that sp_stop_set() calls the former, whereas sp_marker_set() uses the latter, but looking at the code it's not clear why they are calling separate things... (I'm trying to sort out a fix for bug #1298718) Bryce

The problem is that > server returns the file as simple text and browser reads it in this way. Hmm, thanks for pointing this out, this looks like a problem. Fortunately, it's easy to solve... we just need to specify a mime-type for the .package files. Could someone with login access to modevia look into this? I think it's simply a matter of adding an .htaccess file with a line like: AddType application/x-autopackage .package But that's probably not the right mime-type... Mike Hearn, is there a registered mime-type for autopackage files? (If not, there should be!) I notice that the packages on the autopackage.org site sometimes downloads as type "BIN", which makes me think there isn't an associated type yet? Bryce

That's right, I can handle it. You should be warned, however, that as far as I know, there are two practical ways of embedding html in a custom component. One is through mozilla gtkmozembed and the other is gtkhtml; both would represent additional dependencies. Actually, i was going this way by the knowledge i get from my Gimp > Manual contribution.

Moving xsl processing to the program sounds great to me. How could i try your browser ? I could give you feedback on how i could > use it ans may work together on it, this way. No problem. The biggest trouble I foreesee right now is the part of compiling the cpp code, I'm not that good with Automake, so I will provide two short shell-scripts for compiling and linking, until something better can be done.

How > is build yours. > > Cedric (IRC = pygmee) As I noted earlier, the program is made using pygtk, a GTK binding for Python. Inkscape is already (strongly) dependent on Gtk, and almost on Python, but pygtk would be another dependency (perhaps the help browser can be kept as an optional part, too). Then a few lines of C++ code make possible the interaction of python+gtk with the Inkscape svg viewer widget. All that can be re-coded completely in C++, but that difficults development a lot, and would end up in poorer results for the same ammount of work. Content info is represented by a tree, which nodes are added to that tree from Contributor objects. Each node encapsulates a key, the title of the document, an uri, the see-also stuff and a list of keyword phrases for indexing. Contributor objects are responsible of gathering entries from different sources. So, a Contributor might know about the tutorials, and other Contributor might be responsabilized of scanning the extensions directory for documentation of individual extensions.

There has been 3 independent reports of crashes with some fonts on Windows: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=1496795&group_… https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1495807&group_id=… https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1494337&group_id=… At least 2 of them are Pango errors, and I suspect the third one is as well. On Linux these fonts seem to work fine. The problem is that now it crashes as soon as you open the drop-down in the text toolbar, because of auto previews. Previously it only crashed if you clicked specifically on that font in Font dialog list. So now Inkscape _seems_ much more crashy. And judging by the number of the reports, this is going to be a really major problem. What do we do? Disable previews in drop-down until this is fixed? This is the easiest thing to do, and of course only a partial solution (it will still crash if you select that font). Or, try to find out what these fonts have in common (something encoding related I guess) and just disable all such fonts. Or, (most difficult) fix this bug in Pango and ship our own Pango dll (as we do) with this fix. Thoughts? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

There, the tutorials, the documentation for user extensions and any other stuff can be grouped together; I know the idea is quite old, but still seems good to me. Ignoring the another-dependency problem, it might be done using pygtk and a (quite easy to implement, as I could note) python front-end for the inkscape SVGView widget. (which can also be used to provide a more flexible ui to extensions, previsualization included).

Inkscape 0.44 String Freeze
by Bryce Harrington 28 May '06

28 May '06

Hi all, We've hit the point in the release process where no further string changes should be made (except in very exceptional circumstances). This enables translators to reach 100% translation rates. This is also the point where translators should really ramp up translation activity. We currently have 9 languages rated at 'significantly translated', with another half dozen that are nearly to that level. We've posted a news item with the current statuses to http://www.inkscape.org today. Please, if you know someone that knows english and one of the less well translated languages, consider helping them in creating an Inkscape translation for their language! Bryce

I've been thinking about ways to improve accuracy since yesterday, and I have some better math for you. :) Dividing the curve into line segments and finding their lengths will always give you an answer that is too low, since line segments will always take a short-cut around any curved portions. It would be more efficient to use the Calculus definition, since it takes curvature into account: Integral( sqrt( dx/dt ^ 2 + dy/dt ^ 2 ), t ) If you have a point traveling along your spline, the dx/dt and dy/dt functions tell you the point's x and y velocity with respect to t. The formula for dx/dt is: dx/dt = x0 * (-3*(1-t)^2) + x1 * (+3*(1-t)^2 - 6*(1-t)*t) + x2 * (-3*t^2 + 6*(1-t)*t) x3 * (+3*t^2) Here, x0 and x3 are the endpoints, and x1 and x2 are the control points. The formula for dy/dt is the same. Combining these two functions using the Pythagorean theorem gives the absolute speed of a point traveling along the spline: s(t) = sqrt( dx/dt ^ 2 + dy/dt ^ 2 ) In other words, the definition of arc length is just speed integrated by time, giving distance traveled. Since an integration just divides a function into infinitely small chunks and adds them up, it can be approximated with a sum: double s = 0; //Result double dt = 0.01; //Step size for (double t = 0; t < 1; t += dt) { s += s(t) * dt; } Using an infinitely small dt would give you exact integration, but computers can't do that. :) Using something called Simpson's rule, however, can improve the results dramatically with almost no extra work: int n = 100; //Steps; must be even double t0 = 0; //Start value for t double t1 = 1; //End value for t double dt = (t1 - t0) / n; //Step size double s = s(t0) + s(t1); //Result for (int i = 1; i < n; i += 2) { s += 4*s(t0 + i*dt) + 2*s(t0 + i*dt + dt); } s *= dt/3; You can Google Simpson's rule for more info on the algorithm, but the accuracy improvements are substantial. Plus, this algorithm is actually faster than summing lengths of line segments. -William Swanson

No SoC support? Then get down to business !?
by Justin Wikinator 27 May '06

27 May '06

So, I'd like to thank you all for your feedback on my griping about the SoC. It was comforting and encouraging. As I've explained, I would still love to be able to commit a lot of time to this project, but my economic constraints are the only thing holding me back from doing so. I was speaking with some open source activists from the GOSLING group here in Ottawa (http://www.goslingcommunity.org) about the SoC fall-through, and they encouraged me to seek funding for my project elsewhere. They made it seem very fesable, and they are very experienced in the world of FLOSS, so I am considering their suggestion. It occured to me I could get funding for this project in two ways (1) provide graphics services, where the deliverables would be images OR (2) provide "value added" to Inkscape, where the deliverables would be code. It seems these two might feed each other. Do any of you have suggestions about to get funding for my project ? I've thought to myself sometimes, "why should I get paid to do this when everyone else is doing it for free ?" I think the answer to that questions is "because I (and others) deserve to earn a living doing something enjoyable and that benefits the public". It occured to me that maybe some of you ARE getting paid to develop Inkscape. Is this the case ? How does that work ? So, in pursuing this goal, I've jotted some courses of action: - rewrite the proposal to frame it more towards end users like graphic design companies and give the reasons why this project should be funded (technical/business/ethical) - search for other official grants - get businesses and individuals to start using Inkscape if they don't already - promote an official "Inkscape endorsers list" (businesses and individuals) on the wiki (and have a web button to acompany it) to develop contacts of those who do use Inkscape - put up my existing stand-alone scripts on sourceforge - expand my demo image portfolio on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wikinator/sets/72057594111379807/) - convince individuals and/or businesses who could benefit from my improvements to Inkscape to invest in my project (one or many ?) Your continued feedback would be greatly appreciated, --Justin

effects and impending string freeze
by Aaron Spike 27 May '06

27 May '06

I'm not going to be able to get to work on adding tooltips and descriptions to the effects until much later this evening. If someone else has time to look at it great. Otherwise it would be a real jump start just to get people to list the effects that they think require more explaination. Unfortunately some of the effects that might require the most explaination don't pop up an autogui to display it (eg envelope), this just occured to me. -Function Plotter needs to say that it requires a selected <rect/> -Random Tree needs to say that the result will be off canvas -Fractal (L-System) needs to say that the result will be off canvas -?

lindenmayer.py
by dsign 27 May '06

27 May '06

I did a few fixups to lindenmayer.py. The original script is already great, but needed to remove something that seems to me a bug (the extra-segment stuff). Also expanded a litle the syntax for the rules, so you now can use A, B, C, D and F for making the job of F, and G,H,I,J,K,L for making the job of G. As in the original script, you can use other letters to produce only gramatical expansions and no graphical effects. Now it's posible to render Sierpinski triangles. See the attached file to see the problems and the extra stuff.

toggle layers without selecting
by Jon A. Cruz 27 May '06

27 May '06

Just a quick FYI... I think I've figured out a way to do this. I'll put it all together and get it in a little later. The main thing will be to see that it works on GTK+ 2.8 as well.

Lindmayer effect doesn't work as expected
by dsign 27 May '06

27 May '06

I don't get the simple samples at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindenmayer_system working correctly with the extension, the images are indeed very different. Is this intentional (there is a reason for that) or not?

Latex rendering on linux and windows
by lapnect 27 May '06

27 May '06

Hi, There are two versions of eqtexsvg.py script - one works fine on windows and Tav's version works on linux. So, I decided trying to make a mixed version of eqtexsvg.py using OS detection stuff. Is it safe to detect OS by testing of os.name variable in python ? Posibble names are: 'posix', 'nt', 'dos', 'os2', 'mac', or 'ce' and I assume linux='posix' and windows='nt'. Another question is how to make dynamic dependencies (OS based - if it's possible) in .inx file ? lapnect

Bug pruning.

As I was going through looking for bugs to grab, I noticed a few that might be out of date and/or easy targets for removal. If anyone could take a look at them, that could be helpful.

Bezier mathematicians anyone ?
by Justin Wikinator 27 May '06

27 May '06

So, this is a callout to anyone who is familiar with the mathematics of beziers, I need your help, generally, but also specifically. Generally, if you would be willing to volunteer as someone I can consult with on bezier math, that would be great, give me a shout. Specifically, I want to write a method that outputs a list of equally spaced points along a bezier BUT, I don't mean equally spaced t-values for the bezier -- I can already do this -- I mean points that are of equal distance along the bezier. I'm almost certain the two are distinct. Any suggestions ? A lot of potential functionality for path effects seem to rest on this ability.

Render Latex Equation fails on Linux distributions
by Raul Durand 26 May '06

26 May '06

Render Latex Equation fails on Linux distributions The Render Latex equation Extension fails. The python file eqtexsvg.py fails in two places: 1. This escript calls latex with -output-directory option wich does not exist in common Latex Linux distributions. It can be solved easily avoiding the -output-directory option using python commands to manage the generated files. 2. This script calls pstoedit with -f svg option but standar pstoedit for Linux distributions do not include a svg driver!! This driver must be installed separately, and seems to be quite hard to find it out for free. Good work. Raul Durand. raul.durand@...400...

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Bezier mathematicians anyone ?

Justin, Just use a simple crawler while loop that resamples the interpolated points of the Bezier curve by weighting several points, so that you end up with a very similar curve but with regular point separation (specified at will, optimally the average point interdistance). There are many ways to do this, one is here, the function named "subsample" (incorrectly named, should be "resample"): http://www.pensament.net/java/CurveMorphing.html Albert

Problems with Latex formula extension...
by dsign 26 May '06

26 May '06

The pstoedit version (3.42) installed in Suse 10.0 doesn't accept the command line options passed to it from the eqtexsvg.py extension file. I really love and need this feature, but to be truth I'm not an expert at using LaTeX and satellite command line utilities, so the more I could do was to write a workaround, see it at the bottom. Still remains a problem, present in the original eqtexsvg.py and the adjoint one: when the formula doesn't parses correctly, the script hangs, possibly because LaTeX doesn't leave, but remains in interactive mode; turning Inkscape irresponsive. Any idea of how to avoid that? =============== eqtexsvg.py============================================== import inkex, os, tempfile import xml.dom.minidom import sys import xml_utils def create_equation_tex(filename, equation): tex = open(filename, 'w') tex.write("""%% processed with EqTeXSVG.py \documentclass{article} \\thispagestyle{empty} \\begin{document} """) tex.write("$$\n") tex.write(equation) tex.write("\n$$\n") tex.write("\end{document}\n") tex.close() def svg_xml_open(self, filename): document = xml.dom.minidom.parse(filename) #We have two groups, with a few attributes an some other extravagances #The second group is the interesting one current_node = document.documentElement.firstChild # Move until you find a group node while current_node.nodeName != 'g': current_node = current_node.nextSibling if current_node == None : break copier = xml_utils.XmlCopier( document, self.document) append_this = copier.deepCopyElement(current_node) self.document.documentElement.appendChild(append_this) class EQTEXSVG(inkex.Effect): def __init__(self): inkex.Effect.__init__(self) self.OptionParser.add_option("-f", "--formule", action="store", type="string", dest="formule", default=10.0, help="Formule LaTeX") def effect(self): base_file = os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), "inkscape-latex.tmp ") latex_file = base_file + ".tex" create_equation_tex(latex_file, self.options.formule) out_file = os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), " inkscape-latex.tmp.output") exit_status = os.system('latex -output-directory=' + tempfile.gettempdir() + ' ' + latex_file + '> ' + out_file) if exit_status != 0: sys.exit(exit_status) ps_file = base_file + ".ps" dvi_file = base_file + ".dvi" svg_file = base_file + ".svg" os.system('dvips -q -f -E -D 600 -y 5000 -o ' + ps_file + ' ' + dvi_file) os.system('pstoedit -f plot-svg -dt -ssp ' + ps_file + ' ' + svg_file + '>> ' + out_file) # ouvrir le svg et remplacer #7F7F7F par #000000 svg_xml_open(self, svg_file) # clean up aux_file = base_file + ".aux" log_file = base_file + ".log" os.remove(latex_file) os.remove(aux_file) os.remove(log_file) os.remove(dvi_file) os.remove(ps_file) os.remove(svg_file) os.remove(out_file) e = EQTEXSVG() e.affect() =============== xml_utils.py ============================================== class XmlCopier: def __init__(self, source_document, target_document): self.s_doc = source_document self.t_doc = target_document def deepCopyElement(self, source_element): """ Copies attributes and contents from source_node to target_node """ name = str(source_element.nodeName) target_element = self.t_doc.createElement(name) #Start with the attributes attrs = source_element.attributes for attr_name in attrs.keys(): target_element.setAttribute(str(attr_name), source_element.getAttribute(attr_name)) #Next go with the childs for c in source_element.childNodes: if c.nodeType == 3: new_node = self.copyText(c) else: #Node is assumed to be another element new_node = self.deepCopyElement(c) target_element.appendChild(new_node) return target_element def copyText(self, text_node): the_text = str(text_node.nodeValue) result = self.t_doc.createTextNode(the_text) return result

libsigc++-2.0.11 required

Hello, since we could not find a workaround for the compile problem with libsigc++-2.0.10 + gcc-4.0.2, and 2.0.11 is over a year old, I have bumped up the requirements for compiling inkscape in configure to libsigc++ >= 2.0.11 and will update documents on the Web accordingly. ralf

NEW: improved "stroke to path" command
by bulia byak 26 May '06

26 May '06

I finally fixed the long-standing bug 933482: * Converting stroke to path now correctly processes dashed strokes. For paths with markers, this command now creates a group containing the stroke converted to path and all its markers as independent objects (i.e. they are not markers anymore, but instead you can easily transform them or paint them any color, as a workaround for the "markers don't take the color of the stroke" bug). -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Inkscape 0.44 Bug Status

26 May '06

Hi all, Now that we are in Feature Freeze, attention turns to bug fixing. As we've done before, we'll establish a point goal - 200pts. Each fixed bug between today and release will count towards that score. Low priority bugs score 3pts, medium 6pts, and high 9pts. When we've hit that list, *AND* closed all the Must-Fix bugs for 0.44.0, we will move into the Hard Freeze phase, and give control over to the release wardens to finalize the release.

Also note that this list doesn't accept bugs unless they have an owner. This is strictly for pragmatic reasons - without someone volunteering to take care of it, we may end up waiting a very long time to close it.

Inkscape release status. Feature Freeze is on 5/23
by Bryce Harrington 25 May '06

25 May '06

Here's the latest status: ICC Preview - HOLD CMYK support - HOLD ArtLibre named icon and cursor loading - HOLD Palette editing and per-file color sets - HOLD Tablet Bugs - BUG Brush size adjustment on zoom toggle for calligraphic pen - DONE Layer dialog Fit Canvas to Selection - DONE ODG Format Support - HOLD DOM Support - HOLD SIOX Support Extensions Snapping - BUG Rendering Performance Speedup - DONE Screenshots Tutorials Calligraphic interface tweak - DONE Windows font handling bugfixes - DONE Python Extensions on Windows Text/Fonts UI Windows "dialogs on top" Patch for GTK - HOLD Undo/Redo Dialog - HOLD New File Chooser in Export - DONE Test Harness Two tasks are being converted into "Must Fix Bugs" since they're really bugs, not features. A few are now DONE, and a bunch we've agreed to put on HOLD for 0.45. The remaining 8 we're going to give a few more days. I hope that will be sufficient time to complete them all. In any case, we will be feature freezing on the 23rd, and move into bug fix mode then. Meantime, ACSpike, can you produce a -pre0 release within the next couple days, to give our testers something to start playing with? Current Feature Work ICC Preview - HOLD =========== Jon Cruz is working on this. Plans to have feature to a finished point for the release. 5/17 - Jon has put this on hold in order to contribute to getting the layer manager completed. CMYK support - HOLD ============ Jon Cruz is working on this. Plans to have feature to a finished point for the release. 5/17 - On hold until post-0.44 due to dependency on Peter's union purge ArtLibre named icon and cursor loading - HOLD ====================================== Jon Cruz is working on this. Plans to have feature to a finished point for the release. 5/17 - On hold until post-0.44 due to dependency on Peter's union purge Palette editing and per-file color sets - HOLD ======================================= Jon Cruz is working on this. Plans to have feature to a finished point for the release. 5/17 - On hold until post-0.44 due to dependency on Peter's union purge Tablet Bugs - BUG =========== MentalGuy is working on this. Says for the release he wants to get these resolved. Something drops tablet motion events on the floor while the button is held down. This occurs for some tools, but not with others. The bugs are quite annoying but weird. They don't affect all tablet users. 4/29 - Still underway 5/19 - Still unresolved. Mental considers this a release blocker. Brush size adjustment on zoom toggle for calligraphic pen - DONE ========================================================= MentalGuy is working on this and plans to have it to a finished point for the release. 5/1 - Mental reports this has been completed Layer dialog ============ This is an important feature for the release, and on MentalGuy's todo list. However, work has been stuck getting Inkscape::LayerManager to compile due to a subtle detail with sigc::mem_fun(), and it's uncertain if there is sufficient time to unstick it and finish the feature prior to the release. Additional people's help may be needed here. [Beyond the memory issue, are there other aspects to the layer dialog that others could help with, such as UI work or coding helper features or whatever? --bh] 4/29 - Still under way 5/17 - Huge amount of progress made on it. Still not to a point that it's ready to release, but it's close. One of the major remaining issues is that the layer manager is destroying and recreating the hierarchy when the user selects a different layer. This causes state to be lost, which results in a few ui quirks that will probably be irritating for users. It'll be worthwhile to give another day or two for development before freezing this feature. 5/19 - Mental mentions that with the advancements in the new layer dialog, the quick layer selector needs to be reworked as well, as a lot of previously hidden bugs now become apparent when reordering layers and/or using nested layers. The back-end portion needs to be replaced with LayerManager. If we don't do this, we can expect many bug reports that the layer selector is broken. This is perhaps a couple day's work to get done right. Fit Canvas to Selection - DONE ======================= This is a feature ACSpike has been working on, and plans to complete for the release. The patch is here: http://www.ekips.org/comp/inkscape/inx/current.diff ODG Format Support - HOLD ================== Ishmal is working on this currently. Help is needed from someone who knows inkscape gradients, such as mental or bulia. He needs to know how to read gradient info from an SPGradient object. 5/20 - not a release killer; going to leave it for .45. Ishmal had wanted to get some of the clipart and example images to look the same on oo.org as in inkscape. DOM Support - HOLD =========== Ishmal has been working on this. The newest code is all imported and builds. [Is there anything else needing to be done prior to release?] 5/20 - xpath won't make this release. The parsing and compilation are ok, but binding isn't yet, and will need to wait for a future release. SIOX Support ============ Ishmal has this over half done. The code is all imported and building, and the selection mechanism is now done. Getting Inkscape and SIOX intercommunication working, but this can be built as a filter to potrace, which simplifies things. The transformation issues reported previously have been sorted out, using a "confidence matrix". 5/20 - Ishmal says this is incredibly close and wants to finish it before the release. He's planning on devoting the next few days to it. He will need a lot of help testing it. Extensions ========== Ted is focusing on cleaning up extension parameters and felt he'd have this wrapped up by the end of the month. The plan is to have longer text (tool tips) available, and a few more widgets. More spacing in the autogui will be added to make it look nicer. * Ted reports there is an unverified bug in the ordering of the effects in the menu, to be investigated. The Extension Editor is further off, and not being planned for this release. 5/1 - Ted reports the feature is not yet working, but feels it shouldn't be a problem to get it fixed in the next couple weeks. 5/10 - Descriptions are added and status bar messages work. Tooltips have been implemented but don't work for some reason. The major remaining piece is documentation - release notes and a post about the new INX file parameters. * Update release notes Snapping - BUG ======== Ralf is coming up to speed on this issue. Hopefully Carl can also shed light on things. On 4/26 Carl said he hopes to have a look at it over the coming week. * Need to fix the freeze when dragging multiple selected objects: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1429049&group_id=9… * Update Release Notes Rendering Performance Speedup - DONE ============================= Andrius has a very interesting rendering speedup patch. The feature is complete and accepted for the release. There is one known issue to address with scrolling, but Andrius feels this can be fixed. 4/30 - Andrius reports this is now done, and no other issues are known. Screenshots =========== Scislac has taken this task on, and plans to have it done for the release. Two screenshots are done currently, and one more is in the works. There will be a call for more screenshots on the Deviant Art site. 5/20 - 2 of 8 screenshots are uploaded. One is waiting on the text toolbar work. The ones related to "Tremor"... I'd prefer to have nicer art for that purpose (I have some that can suffice, but I'd like better ones). The Paste Size one which I haven't touched yet, but that will be fairly easy since it just needs to be "technical". I have the selected style indicator one which is probably a LOT of compositing to have most, if not all states. And I also have a relatively simple one to whip up for non-destructive node deletion. Tutorials ========= Calligraphy is mostly done, and a few of the other updates to the other tutorials have been drafted but that stuff definitely needs more work. Should be possible to have them done by the end of April. Man page should be current. Bulia will update keys.xml shortly. Note: The sooner these can be finalized, the sooner translators can get going on them. 5/1 - ScislaC says a lot of progress was made over the weekend, but has run into some errors regenerating the svgs & html Calligraphic interface tweak - DONE ============================ Bulia is working on this change requested by MentalGuy, and feels they are minor and should have no trouble completing for the release. Windows font handling bugfixes - DONE ============================== Richard (cyreve) has completed these bug fixes and updated the release notes. * Update ReleaseNotes Python Extensions on Windows ============================ !!! No owner has been identified for this task !!! Bulia reports that extensions that rely on PyXML still do not work on Windows. Due to the number of python extensions, this would be a major missing feature for Windows users. Text/Fonts UI ============= deadchip (aka Milosz Derezynski <internalerror at gmail dot com>) has written a font lister Gtkmm class, to enable re-use of the font list. He is planning to write a font picker dialog, and rewrite the current font picker to use the font _listing_ class. This enables using normal Gtk components (ListStore, etc.) for accessing the font info. He plans to have this work done by May 1st, or May 15th at the latest. Windows "dialogs on top" Patch for GTK - HOLD ====================================== !!! No owner has been identified for this task !!! This is not exactly an Inkscape-specific problem, since the code changes wouldn't be to Inkscape, but it would be nice to have it finally fixed. This 0.44 release effort may be a good vehicle to tie it to, but we won't hold up the release if it doesn't get done. Scislac had contacted the author previously. * Send a reminder email to the author to find status on this 5/20 - Not a release killer; we'll punt on this one Undo/Redo Dialog - HOLD ================ Gustav Broberg (broberg at kth dot se) is planning to try to get the changes Mental suggested prior to the Feature Freeze. We have a patch for this. Also needed is undo annotations. 4/30 - Gustav reports that due to more changes required than expected, this feature will be postponed until the next release. New File Chooser in Export - DONE ========================== We have a patch for this, but there were some thoughts of embedding it in the export dialog directly. In the spirit of "patch first, discuss later", the best approach may be to stick in the current patch for 0.44, see what folks think, and do the embedding later. Test Harness ============ Bryce is working on getting 'make test' working in the test harness. It works currently, but the data is not getting included in the reports. In fact, I seem to have busted the reports entirely, so it'll take a bit more poking at to make it work. Additional Release Tasks ======================== The following tasks will need to be done for the release, but are not required to be done prior to the Feature Freeze: * Identify the list of must-fix bugs. To keep the freeze phase from dragging out, we will need to be very choosy in what we allow to be must-fix bugs. * Set up a ReleaseChecklist wiki page or similar to keep track of The List. * Designate 2 release maintainers. * Keep and update the above list and encourage people to achieve completion of the items. * Notify translators to complete translation work * Wiki updates + Update Roadmap + Review/Update FAQ + Update InkscapeFeatures * PR / marketing efforts + Plan efforts + Draft press release + Finalize press release + Send out press release [rejon] + DeviantArt PR [ScislaC] * Packaging

Announcing the 2006 Summer of Code Projects
by Bryce Harrington 25 May '06

25 May '06

Hi all! Today was the final day for the Google Summer of Code proposal rankings. As you can imagine, a number of us inkscaper's have been in deep, intensive discussions and votes to arrive at the final prioritization. The final decision of which 4 to select was extremely difficult, and really came down to the wire. A large part of the controversy was whether to have both of the SVG filter projects in the top 4, or to go with 4 distinct projects. But just then, in an amazing stroke of luck, Google was kind enough to allocate an additional project to Inkscape, increasing us to 5 slots! :-) Thus, our final project selection is as follows: Application Student Mentor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SVG Filter Effects #1 Niko Kiirala Bulia Inkboard Protocol Spec / Lib Conversion Dale Harvey David Yip PDF Export with Cairo Mikos Erdelyi Ted Gould Memory Optimization Marina Diezler MenTaLguY SVG Filter Effects #2 Hugo Rodrigues Bulia As I understand it, one of the SVG filter projects will be focused on the internal handling of filters at the SPObject level, the other will be focused on the rendering of the filters. Thank you to everyone who applied this year. There were a number of excellent projects, and arriving at the final selection was extremely tough. Many of the proposed ideas were extremely cool and we would love to see them developed, and would love to be able to welcome the applicants to be part of the Inkscape community. Many criteria went into our final decision, more than can be easily related. However, one of the driving considerations was for work we felt would maximize the benefit to Inkscape users. We know from user feedback that these projects, if completed successfully, will have a transformational effect on Inkscape as an application - by the end of this summer, Inkscape will likely be a light-year ahead of where it is today.

Effects documentation
by Justin Wikinator 24 May '06

24 May '06

I would like to see some basic documentation for every effect in Inkscape telling: - what state Inkscape must be in for the effect to be successful - how the effect responds to errors - what changes to the document result from the effect - dependencies of the effect (language, additional libraries) A wiki seems like it's a good place to start for this documentation. Someone has already started a page for this here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WhatEffectsDo, and I have added one more example. I was going to attempt this on my own, but I thought I'd do a callout to the developers first because they know what their effects do better than I do, and when I was effects code on the SVN some of it wasn't documented much. Thanks for effecting, --Justin

Summer of Code - info for mentors and students
by Bryce Harrington 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hi all, I think Google has still not put out the official announcement about accepted proposals, but they've emailed the students. I checked with google last night, and there have been no changes in Inkscape's projects from what I announced earlier. Students may begin work immediately; it would be good for all students and mentors to touch base and say hello. As well, here's some info that will hopefully help fill in a few blanks: Summer Schedule: ---------------- May 23 - Google notifies selected students Students may begin work on projects Jun 30 - Mid-program mentor evaluations of student progress due Aug 21 - Student projects due Sep 5 - Mentor and student evaluations due Release Early, Release Often: ----------------------------- One of the principles of open source development is that you publish your code as you go. This is different than what students may be used to, but it is extremely important that this be followed. Students should plan on putting out a series of releases of their work through the summer. These releases don't need to be perfect, or even particularly remarkable, but by putting out releases, others can provide interim feedback so that by the end of the summer there will be no doubt that the student has been successful. For the mid-program evaluation, mentors should take into account whether the student has released their code in their evaluation. SVN Access: ----------- Google requires that all students conduct their work in a public repository. For inkscape, this will be Inkscape's subversion service hosted at sourceforge.net. We have a simple policy for gaining SVN access to be followed. The applicant submits two patches and has them accepted, then requests access from one of the admins (Mental, Bulia, myself, or Jon Cruz). Some students have already qualified; for those who havent, they should simply send a couple simple patches (maybe the start of the SOC work? or a small bugfix?) SVN Branches: ------------- Since we are in feature freeze, the student's work should be done on a branch in SVN. Even if we weren't in feature freeze, this would be good practice. The mentor should probably either set up this branch for the student, or help the student create it. Merging to Head: ---------------- The mentor and student should also plan to move the branch to HEAD at an appropriate point during the summer. It should occur at some point after the 0.44.0 release, but before the end of the SOC program. As part of this process, the student will also need to work with other inkscape developers to resolve integration problems, bugs, or other issues that arise. For this reason, integrating early will give the most gain and least pain. ;-) (The merge is likely a point where the student will really need his mentor's help the most.) Blogs: ------ Last year we enjoyed following student's progress via their blogs. This is entirely optional, but if the student wishes to run a blog, it can be aggregated at planet.inkscape.org; contact nicu at nicubunu dot ro. Bryce

inkscape svn+debian
by Khiraly 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hi! Do I need to download svn trunk, if I want to test the prereleases? For the debian packaging I think the debian/control file missed a ',' character in it. So I attached a really minor patch(lol). cd debian; svn diff -x -u >control.diff I think the version from '0.43+0.44pre1-1' should changed to something '0.44pre1-1'. Am I wrong? However Im not able to build from inkscape svn. From the svn snapshot tarballs compiles fine. What is need to running in the fresh svn checkout, to be identic to the svn snapshot tarballs? Im talking about this tarball: http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/inkscape-20060524-0300.tar.bz2 >From fresh checkout I got this error message: > DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b dh_clean debian/rules build make: *** No rule to make target `configure', needed by `builddir/config.status'. Stop. If I copy the 'configure' file, I got this: cd builddir \ && CFLAGS="-g -O0" CXXFLAGS="-g -O0" \ ../configure --host=i486-linux-gnu --build=i486-linux-gnu \ --prefix=/usr --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\ ${prefix}/share/info configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in .. ../.. ../../.. make: *** [builddir/config.status] Error 1 So I think it some auto tool here. Can somebody help me a little? Khiraly

NEW: palettes
by bulia byak 24 May '06

24 May '06

(inspired by the recent palette improvements and with the help of Aaron Spike) * The new "Inkscape default" color palette was added. It contains a range of grays, standard HTML named colors, and a full range of colors sorted by their HSL values (475 colors overall). It is generated by a Python script which is also put into SVN in share/palettes. * A number of specialized color palettes, useful in color-coordinated projects, was borrowed from GIMP: Reds, Greens, Blues, Gold, Royal, Khaki, Hilite, and Topographic. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

The horizontal scrollbar does not disappear in the newest swatch
by Khiraly 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hi! Just a minor remark about the new swatch dialog. If I set it to the size 'tiny', and switch to a palette like tango, where there not realy much colors, the horizontal scrollbar does not disappear, and the palette is scaled horizontally to fit all the space. I think the right behaviour would be: * no scrollbar, if not required * no horizontal scaling (the palette) Here is a demonstating screenshot, with a palette, which has only 3 colors: http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2708/swatchnotscale2pb.png Khiraly

Release Wardens for Inkscape 0.44
by Bryce Harrington 24 May '06

24 May '06

Follow up to the Feature Freeze announcement... For this release, Jon Cruz and Aaron Spike have accepted the roles of Release Wardens. Once we get to Hard Freeze, they will have the responsibility for determining what bug fixes will be included in releases, and which will be deferred to future releases. Thanks Jon and Aaron! Bryce

Feature Freeze for Inkscape 0.44
by Bryce Harrington 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hi all, This is to announce that we are now officially moving into Feature Freeze. At this time, feature development work on HEAD should cease, in favor of bug fixing work. Any bug fixing work is welcomed. I will be maintaining a list of must-fix bugs, which I will publish within the next day. If you'd like to continue feature development work, you're encouraged to do so on an SVN branch. (If you don't know how to create a branch in SVN, just ask!) ACSpike will publish a -pre0 release ASAP. We will encourage all users to help us test out pre-releases and report issues found. Thank you to all who have been helping Aaron sort out distcheck issues! I would also like to take this chance to thank lucychili for her work at triaging our bug list. There are still some bugs left to be ranked, but due to her work we're close to having them fully ranked. Bryce

Resize handle on bottom-right of Inkscape window missing
by Michael Wybrow 24 May '06

24 May '06

In recent SVN builds, i.e., the last week or so, the resize handle that was on the far right of the status bar has disappeared. The reason it was added to Inkscpae was that on OSX, every resizable window has a small handle in this position that is above any widgets in the window itself -- meaning the statusbar zoom controls could not be clicked on OSX. It was decided (previously on the mailing list) that we would put our own resize handle here, which shifted the zoom control slightly to the left. I looked at recent commits, but couldn't find where this happened or the relevant code that needs changing. Could someone please add the resize handle back and document in the code the reason for it being there. Thanks, Michael

default shape style
by bulia byak 24 May '06

24 May '06

In the early days of Inkscape, njh changed the default style of shape tools to include fill-opacity:0.75. The motivation was "to make default shapes more interesting" and "to demonstrate that Inkscape can do opacity". Now, with a master opacity control in the statusbar, the second reason is much less relevant. Besides, we slightly discourage using fill-opacity and stroke-opacity in general, because they are somewhat more cumbersome to change - you can only do it in fill&stroke dialog. For these reasons, I have removed fill-opacity from the default style of the shape tools. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

another change in defaults
by bulia byak 24 May '06

24 May '06

With all the recent improvements, the Calligraphic tool is becoming much more than just a calligraphic tool - it's now more of a general purpose paint tool. So I changed this tool to use the last set style by default, instead of the fixed black. This means that in a newly installed copy of Inkscape it will paint black, but as soon as you change the fill of anything it will use that new color. I think it makes it more usable for newbies. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

New: Inkscape Stable Branch plans
by Bryce Harrington 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi all, For the 0.44 release, we will be establishing a stable branch maintenance team, to release 0.44.1, .2, etc. as the 0.45 development proceeds. This is a somewhat different process than we've followed in the past, because while we've done point releases in the past to correct packaging or security flaws, or major bugs, we generally have not treated them as formally maintained branches before. The motivation for doing this is primarily driven by the vast number of new features in this release. It's almost guaranteed that there are hidden defects that we're not likely to find until well after release. Rather than have a very lengthy hard freeze period to find these, as last time, this new process will enable active development and stabilization to be done in parallel. In speaking with Mental and Bulia and some of the other developers, we feel it wise to establish the infrastructure and procedures that will allow us to actively backport fixes for these issues as they're found, so that users won't be forced to wait until 0.45 is released. There is nothing particularly exotic about doing this; many other large projects have split devel/stable branches, and the techniques and best practices are well known and well established: 1. When fixing a critical bug that may need to be backported, make SURE there is a ticket in the bug tracker (create a new one if needed). 2. Create a patch for the bug fix. Do not include any changes other than the fix. Keep the patch as terse as possible (no formatting changes or other cleanup.) Attach the patch to the bug ticket. 3. Notify inkscape-devel@ about the fix, and recommend that it be considered for the Stable Branch. If defect is a potential security issue, please contact the stable maintainer privately. 4. New stable releases with a detailed listing of changes will be produced periodically. It will be recommended that all users upgrade to these releases as soon as possible. We will also establish a Stable Branch Maintenance Team once 0.44 has been released. This team will have the responsibility to keep an eye out for fixes to critical bugs, integrate them into the stable branch, and perform the releases. Mentalguy has been the de factor stable branch maintainer for all of our past releases, and has agreed to be the team lead for the Inkscape 0.44 Stable Branch series. If you would like to be a member of the Stable Branch Maintenance Team, please speak with Mental. I am sure he can make particularly good use of folks with packaging or QA expertise. Of course, we can't say for certain how many stable releases there will be in the 0.44.x series, but I'm anticipating new releases could appear as frequently as every week or two. It will depend largely on how many critical bugs there are, and how many people will be available to handle them. Bryce

Inkscape and Zero Install
by Thomas Leonard 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi all, I'm Thomas Leonard, one of the main developers of the ROX desktop[1]. I'd like to make Inkscape the default vector drawing application for ROX. We provide a "ROX-All" package[2] with launchers for a number of programs. Each launcher automatically downloads the program the first time it is run, using Zero Install[3]. Zero Install is also used to fetch any required libraries and to check for updates, etc. I made a launcher for Tgif without any trouble[4], but Inkscape is proving more difficult. The binary RPM on your site seems to use hard-coded paths to get the icons. I looked at the source code to see about fixing it, and I notice that you're already using autopackage's excellent binreloc tool. But, it appears that the RPM was compiled with this turned off! I tried replacing the bin/inkscape file in the RPM with the one from the autopackage and it then worked fine. However, Zero Install can't extract from autopackages because they are implemented as 'executable archives' - extracting them requires running code inside them. This is OK for a program installed on a single-user machine, but Zero Install needs to support multi-user systems where the admin must be able to install a package without having to execute any of its code. [ Aside: The goal of Zero Install is to make installing software system-wide so 'safe' (for the admin) that the admin can actually be replaced by a SetUID script, letting users share software installs automatically without needing an admin and without requiring them to trust each other. This combines ease-of-use and security, rather than trading them off against each other as in most other systems. ] Would it be possible for you to build your binary RPMs with binreloc enabled, so that we can use them? Or, if you could host the "payload.tar.bz2" file from inside the autopackage then that would work too. Actually making Inkscape available is then extremely easy - I'll just create a short XML file giving the available versions, download locations and dependencies, as with the current Tgif XML file[4]. These XML files can be used by ROX (and Xfce) users by simply dragging the link from a web-page to the desktop's installer. They can also be run from the command-line using the '0launch' or '0alias' commands. Thanks, [1] http://rox.sourceforge.net [2] http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/ROX-All [3] http://0install.net/ [4] http://0install.net/tests/Tgif.xml -- Dr Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1

Panel refactoring
by Jon A. Cruz 23 May '06

23 May '06

I just committed a bit of a larger change with much panel rework. The main visible changes are with the palettes. In the swatches dialog it will now remember the last palette selected and restore that on startup. In the docked palette at the bottom of the UI it will separately remember the palette used there (not quite per- document yet). The docked palette will also now shrink when it's "Wrap" menu item is unchecked. It respects the selected size, and places only a single row. In hand with this and the remembering the last palette, someone can probably now change the default preferences to use a small size, turn off wrap, and select the "SVG" palette. Then have the palette shown in the UI by default.

distcheck
by Aaron Spike 23 May '06

23 May '06

In preparation for the upcoming release, I thought I'd try `make distcheck`. $ make -k distcheck make[1]: *** No rule to make target `make.dep', needed by `distdir'. make[1]: *** No rule to make target `make.files', needed by `distdir'. make[1]: *** No rule to make target `make.ofiles', needed by `distdir'. make[1]: Target `distdir' not remade because of errors. make: *** [distdir] Error 1 make: Target `distcheck' not remade because of errors. I know the solution for this first problem is to run mkfiles.pl and mkdep.pl, but I wonder if those scripts should be thrown into the autogen.sh or configure mix somehow. After I generate those files `make distcheck` produces the errors that can be found at: http://www.ekips.org/comp/inkscape/inx/distcheck/stderr.txt Aaron Spike

Hi! How can I obtain some statistical about bugreports and RFEs ? Im thinking of: * how many open bugreports/RFEs are at the moment * how many bugreports/RFEs was closed from a given date (ex: from the latest release) * how many bugreports/RFEs need info, etc Is sf.net is able provide me some of the aboves info?

transparency pdf export
by Peter Dedecker 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi, I just checked out the snapshot release of Inkscape 0.44, wich is just great, thank you very much! I really love the new pdf export with transparency support and the "crop to image size" button in the page properties. But I also have a little question. Printing such pdf files with transparency isn't simple and transparency is removed. I think there should be two types of pdf export functionality. One of them is the one that's now included, the other one should be a mix between bitmap output and scalable pdf output. I mean: it should be great when you could let Inkscape "render" the image and count the resulting colors when the different semi-transparent layers are added to eachother. The result should be scalable but without transparency. This way, the image printed is the same as how you could see it at the screen. This could also be related to bug 1492670. Acrobat prints files with transparency the right way, Evince doesn't. I think it should be good when it's possible to export to different pdf-versions, with and without transparency. What do you think of this? After some positive feedback from Bryce, I submitted this one as feature request 1492661. Kind regards, Peter Dedecker

Effects (aka extensions)
by Tavmjong Bah 21 May '06

21 May '06

Hi, I've been working through the extensions in updating my book and have the following comments: 1. The release notes uses "Extensions" while the menu label in the GUI is "Effects". 2. Extract one image: Dialog is confusing. It asks for "Path to save image". I initially though that it would get the file name out of the SVG file (maybe from the id name). The dialog would be more clear if it said "Filename (with path) to save image". (Aaron points out that it would be even better if it used a file chooser dialog.) 3. Envelope: Generates warnings of the type: "Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG." Otherwise the effect works. 4. Flatten Bezier: "Flatten Path" is the name used in the release notes. 5. Radius Randomize: Minor quibble: The "normal distribution" generated isn't really a normal distribution (as you would find in the error of measuring the position of a point). The x and y coordinates should be uncorrelated and thus one should write: x += abs(random.normalvariate(0.0,0.5*r) y += abs(random.normalvariate(0.0,0.5*r) 6. Latex Formula: pstoedit must be installed with the SVG plug-in. The plug-in is shareware and only available for Windows and Suse Linux 9.3 using g++ 3.4.5. (See: http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit.) 7. Fretboard Designer: These effects should really be grouped in a submenu under Render. 8. Effects menus: The new organization of the Effects in submenus is great improvement! I think I would have approached the problem of implementation differently. Rather than embed menu structure inside the effects, it might of been more interesting to extract the menu structure from a directory structure, obtaining the names of the menus and of the effects from the names of the directories and the inx files respectively. For example, the Fretboard effects would be place in a directory named Fretboard_Designer inside a directory named Render. The first Fretboard effect would have an inx file with the name: Single_Length_Equal_Temperament. If would then be easy for a user to add their own effects or to move them around. Of course, one would still have to come up with a method to handle translations. The code could be reused to organize the Templates menu. Tav

tablet bugs
by bulia byak 21 May '06

21 May '06

I think I fixed now the various bugs reported by Mental and others about the use of tablet pen in various tools: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1455685&group_id=9… (and probably other reports too). Turns out "it's not a bug, it's a feature". This affected everything that dragged knots plus the rect tool; this also probably affected guideline dragging but nobody noticed that. The reason is that only knot.cpp, rect-context.cpp and the ruler/guideline code grabbed canvas with a mask that included GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK. And this mask, per documentation, is exactly for this: it passes only the first motion event and suppresses all others, until you call gdk_window_get_pointer. Only ruler code cared to call; there's also a call in canvas motion event handler but it seems to have no effect. Now, I have no time nor desire to figure out why this worked before (the hint mask was there since Sodipodi times), or why it broke with newer GTK versions, or why it broke only for tablet pens and not mice. Someone who likes GTK more than me might enjoy the exercise :) For now I simply removed the hint masks wherever I could find them, and everything seems to work fine for me (though for me it always worked fine, because I have a rather old gtk) and for a person on IRC who had troubles with pen before. Of course this change is somewhat risky, so please test all tools and all kinds of dragging thoroughly. Let me know at once if you find something broken. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Inkboard in 0.44
by Ted Gould 21 May '06

21 May '06

Okay, So, I know that everyone is excited about the growing maturity of the Inkboard code, but I'm going to suggest that it not be included by default in the 0.44 release. Why? I think that with David reworking the protocol, and the potential for a SoC project to help with that, it's likely that there will be some protocol changes between 0.44 and 0.45. I don't think we really want to support the 0.44 protocol forever (if nothing else, it won't be as well documented), so I think we should leave it for people who are actually on the mailing list and update their Inkscape binaries regularly. Thoughts? --Ted

SWF Export - Supporting static library
by Brian 21 May '06

21 May '06

I was able to take the .swf export patch on the Sourceforge page and update it so it compiles with the current Inkscape/ming codebase. Now comes the fun of linking libming in as a static library. Out of the box, ming ships with a make target that builds a static version of the lib. I added the following entry into src/Makefile.am noinst_LIBRARIES = \ extension/internal/ming/libming.a \ But this wants to build libming. What do I need to do to simply link the libming lib in statically? Or would it be best to set up a Makefile_insert that builds a custom version of the Ming library? Brian

license and attribution
by Aaron Spike 21 May '06

21 May '06

I'm a chronic code copier, I know. But I just realized that I have made a few mistakes moving code around in our codebase. I moved PointToCurvilignPosition from libnrtext/Layout-TNG-OutIter.cpp to livarot/Path.cpp as was indicated in the orignial comment, "this function really belongs to Path. I'll probably move it there eventually, hence the Path-esque coding style." In doing this I forgot to copy the original copyright in the code. But much worse, I just realised that the files that I moved this code between are under different licenses. I moved a GPLed function into a PD file. This cannot happen. The possibility for other accidents in our codebase seems huge. I don't think PD and GPL can coexist well in a codebase that desires so much refactoring. Can we and should we place the PD files under the GPL? As for attribution, what is proper and customary? I suppose I need to chase down the orignial author through the commit logs any time I want to move a function or copy code. Very often people alter code without adding a copyright notice. I haven't added a notice to any of the files I have edited. Am I endangering people of doing the same copying without attribution to me? When should I attribute myself? Right now the act of adding my name to a source file seems rather proud to me. And right now I can't imagine ill will tward someone copying my code without attribution, but as I put more and more sweat and tears into the code that may become possible. Aaron Spike

object snapping (bug?), related RFEs
by Khiraly 20 May '06

20 May '06

Hi! Is object snapping supposed to work? Im talking about the recent svn version, and File->Document properties->[Snap] The options: [ ] Snap bounding boxes to objects [ ] Snap nodes to objects [ ] Snap to object paths [ ] Snap to object nodes Snap sensitivity: [-|-------------] [ ] Always Snap It took some time the figure out how it is working. 1. So If I want to snap one object node to an another object node I must check the following options: [ ] Snap bounding boxes to objects [X] Snap nodes to objects [ ] Snap to object paths [X] Snap to object nodes Snap sensitivity: [-|-------------] [ ] Always Snap 2. If I want to snap one object node to an another object path I must check the following options: [ ] Snap bounding boxes to objects [X] Snap nodes to objects [X] Snap to object paths [ ] Snap to object nodes Snap sensitivity: [-|-------------] [ ] Always Snap 3. If I check the above two cases it work a little buggy way. Particulary on a curved path. So I pull the mousepointer and sometimeworks sometime just jumping a little distance. Around the node is really hard to place the node. 4. If I check the following to options, it does snapping, but Im not able to figure out its snapping to what. [X] Snap bounding boxes to objects [ ] Snap nodes to objects [ ] Snap to object paths [X] Snap to object nodes Snap sensitivity: [-|-------------] [ ] Always Snap It does snapping, because the Snap sensitivity have its behaviour. 5. If I want to snap the bounding box around an object paths, I must check the following options: [X] Snap bounding boxes to objects [ ] Snap nodes to objects [X] Snap to object paths [ ] Snap to object nodes Snap sensitivity: [-|-------------] [ ] Always Snap ------------------ The problems: The bigger problem is the not clear UI design, its not marked anywhere what I must check If I want some behavoiour. And it does not marked, that one checkbox *depends* an another checkbox. 'Always snap' button does not seems to work. What is supposed to do? Its not clear that the 'Snap sensitivity' GtkHScale element affects ALL the other checkboxes. I was thinking yesterday, that the snappings are not implemented, because I was unable to figure out what checkbox must I checked. So I think it must seriously reconsider this ui design, because this EXCELLENT feature is really a MUSTHAVE. I have found and figured out accidently, and I have already written my feature request for this feature, which is already implemented! (just figured out a Snapping title in the recent changelog) ---------------- Question/rfe about the snapping issues: There is an option (like the new show/hide bezier handles option) to show the nodes of all the objects?

Gradient ids change between 0.43 and SVN in my files
by Jean-François Lemaire 20 May '06

20 May '06

Hello, I've got a serious problem regarding gradients with last days' Inkscape SVN. Something changed that screws up the gradients ids of files I created with previous SVN builds. To make things clearer: If I create today an object with gradient fill with, say, Inkscape 0.43 stable and open it in Inkscape SVN, the gradient is correctly displayed. If on the other hand I open the files I created and worked on earlier with Inkscape 0.43 in Inkscape SVN, *all* the gradients are mis-attributed and do not display. They are present in the gradients drop down menu, but their ids no longer correspond to what is specified in <defs>. If I vacuum the defs, the gradients are deleted since they are not used by any object. Here's a link to a file that contains 24 objects, almost all of them with gradients: http://users.skynet.be/jflemaire/files/gradients_issue.svg (Incidentally, this file displays correctly in Konqueror.) I hope someone with more knowledge of SVG/Inkscape will be able to help, because I dread the moment I'll have to reassign all gradients to each objects manually! Cheers, JFL -- Jean-François Lemaire

Inkscape UI
by Kevin Cannon 20 May '06

20 May '06

Hi all, I've been following Inkscape's development for some time, and it's always looked like it had quite a lot of promise. I was looking for an open source vector tool to recommend to someone today and thought I'd download it to see how it's coming along. I'm happy to say that it's improved a lot since I last used it. I've very impressed. The one thing I'm concerned about is the UI. I'm a web designer by trade and while Inkscape is quite full featured, the UI is a bit of a leap to what I'm used to, which makes transition very hard. I read your wiki, and I understand wanting an Inkscape specific UI is important and I agree that just aiming to be an Illustrator clone wouldn't be a worthy goal. However, I think you could win a lot of hearts and minds by conforming to general UI elements that are used in graphics packages. During Firefox's early development, they made the conscious decision to match some of IE's shortcuts (alt+d, backspace for example) and some of it's conventions. The aim was to reduce the barrier to entry, and to make it feel more familiar, and it was one of the factors in it's success. I would strongly suggest you make designers feel more at home when they give Inkscape a try. Things like pressing spacebar to pan around a page is a de facto standard amongst image editing tools. I'd say it would be trivial to make Inkscape work in the same manner. Similarly, your path nodes/handles tool are the same as the 'white arrow' tool in other apps. Changing that so it matches would again dramatically increase the accessibility of the software, and I believe seriously increase your usage figures. These are some small examples of what I'm talking about. As a designer, I'm designing interfaces every day, and creating a low barrier to entry is crucial for my clients. I innovate in certain areas, but know that some things need to stick to conventions or else people will never use the sites I build. Inkscape is a great tool, but it's broken some of those conventions, and that will frustrate and annoy users when they try to apply their current knowledge to this application, and that is a waste. You needn't lose potential users when Inkscape is so very good, just because they're confused. I would strongly suggest that you make efforts to remove those barriers while staying true to your goals. I'm not a coder so I cannot offer my services in that regard, but if you want to change some things to make the UI more friendly to new users, then I will happily offer my services in identifying issues. I sincerely hope you'll take me up on my offer, Kind Regards, - Kevin Cannon

Testing the effects, and a crash report
by Khiraly 20 May '06

20 May '06

Hi! I think it would be a great idea, to have in the Effects menu a testing effects option. If someone click on this menuitem it will execute a simple python AND perl script, which test all the dependencies required for launching the effects, and it report OK/problem form. SO it would be easy for the users, if the effects is right installed or not. Im writing this idea, because there are many effects which require an external file, or an object to work on, or simply it does not seems to make anything (function plotter). So it would be nice to test, if the system right installed or not. There is a crash related to this issue. There is a View->Scripts menuitem, what launched thereis a simple python script, what can be executed. If I launch it, inkscape crash immediatly.

Minor bugs/lacks

Hi! Im collecting some minor bugs what I was observing, hope there will some of them, which can easily fix for the release. # Alpha value does not work on page border and background The alpha value for the document border and document background does not work. If the alpha is 255, we have border, if the alpha is 1-254 wi dont have it. Document properties->Page->[Border]->Border color Document properties->Page->[General]->Background # Swatches Since there is lot of discussion about default enabling swatch in this release, I have collecting some lack of feature/bug. 1. swatch colors is not saved between inkscape session. So if I relaunch inkscape I must reset my palette to be used 2. palettes (in swatch) does not saved with inkscape .svg. Same as above 3. DnD does not work everywhere. For example in the stroke and fill dialog the DnD work only in the RGBA text input, and only in a limited way: a/ delete the active color from it (ex: a40000e1) b/ DnD the color from swatch c/ delete the '#' first character # minor tweaks needed on the command bars dialog buttons On the command bars, there are few dialog buttons (fill and stroke, text and font, xml editor, align and distribute, inkscape preferences, document properties). The first click show the dialog windows but the second click does not hide it. I think it would be the right behaviour. Best regards, Khiraly
