Hackfest 2016: Discussions Summary
by Tavmjong Bah 16 Apr '16

16 Apr '16

Hi, The Hackfest was a great success. We got about 70 patches in to the code base. Highlights include fixing the GTK3 flickering bug and getting CMake to work on Windows. While most of our time was spent on hacking, we did take some time to discuss various issues. Here is a summary of those discussions. Tav Hackfest 2016 Discussions Summary ================================ Infrastructure: -------------- Git/CI: Consensus is that moving to git soon is a good idea. Benefits: 1. More familiar to outside developers. 2. Bazaar not being actively developed. 3. Easy to separate out libraries as submodules. Krzysztof has prepared a cheat-sheet http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Git Libraries that can be turned in to submodules: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Embedded_libraries lib2geom can be made into a submodule first, removing duplicate code. Krzysztof will provide documentation on how to make sublibraries. We recommend moving to GitHub for CI integration. CI (Continuous integration) Consensus is to go with GitHub. This is the most maintainable option with our limited developer resources. Mailing Lists Consensus is to move to a server at OSUOL after server with Mailman3 is available. Mailman3 is a significant improvement over Mailman2. Martin has volunteered that Inkscape is willing to install Mailman3 for OSUOL. (OSUOL has said that it is a low priority project for them and it could be one and a half years before they get to it.) Code ---- C++11 Consensus is to require C++11 after 0.92 released. Developers will be able to use C++11 features. GTK3 GTK3 offers significant improvements in support for OSX and Windows. Consensus is to switch default compilation to GTK3 after 0.92 to get more eyes looking at the problems. Most, if not all, dialogs will need to be tweaked. Then remove GTK2 after the 0.93 release (we have 700 #ifdef's to switch between the two builds). CMake The CMake build system is getting very close to being ready. We can now compile and link Inkscape on Windows using CMake. A lot of work was done at the hackfest (and at LGM). Having a good CMake build is the only hard requirement for 0.92. Roadmap ------- Krzysztof has volunteered to update the roadmap with the things we discussed during the hackfest (CMake, C++11, GTK3, etc.). Community --------- Fund-raising We discussed various options such as using patreon.com, snowdrift.coop, flattr.com. CR will do a detailed investigation of the options. Paid Development We are basically waiting on the website before we can start using our paid development model.

Website access in China - Fix applied
by Martin Owens 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Dear Inkscape Users and Developers, After a lot of backwards and forwards between osuosl and fastly.net we have put in place a solution for our website's access in China. The problem was that our chinese visitors would be able to get the website, but not any of the media (or downloads) because of their great firewall. The solution was a CNAME from media.inkscape.org to fastly and some special dns configuration which I barely understand to solve the issue with access to fastly caches. (I copied and pasted what people said in two tickets and acted as a manual ticket express for the professionals) This solution is now live and I invite people in China to test the website and please report back if they can see any issues. (and also if they would like to translate pages) :-) Best Regards, Martin Owens

About build of inkscape 0.91+devel
by Jseb Tarot 15 Apr '16

The very recent pull "bzr pull" at the linking step are a error. (i use cmake for building) CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/display/cairo-utils.cpp.o: undefined reference to symbol 'gdk_pixbuf_get_height' the problem come from link.txt you need add " -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 " from directory inkscape/src/CMakeFiles/inkscape.dir/ and are the same with inkscape/src/CMakeFiles/inkview.dir/link.txt after inkscpae compile and inkscape run properly ;) Regard JsT

0.91 performance when zoomed in
by Saar Drimer 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hello everyone, I work with Inkscape nearly every day, but am now experiencing some painfully slow performance with some files (that I cannot share right now, sorry!) I'm working with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on Ubuntu 15.10 with an i7-5500 and 16GB of RAM. The designs are not particularly complex, but have one feature that might be relevant: I'm working with dimension accurate objects that can be very small, 0.1mm and below (I design printed circuit boards). The slowness becomes painful when zoomed in onto the small objects; it happens when I try zooming, choosing objects, moving them, and even changing tools from 'node' to 'select'. nearly every such operation I get the greyed-out Ubuntu stall. Working on the design when zoomed out is not practical, but it is quite a bit faster performing. Another thing that's happening that could be related is the following prompts keep appearing on the console: (inkscape:15569): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_font_family_list_faces: assertion 'PANGO_IS_FONT_FAMILY (family)' failed (inkscape:15569): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell: assertion 'tree_view->priv->tree != NULL' failed I could not find any report for how to handle these, and discover if they are related to the performance problems. Searching for a solution through looking at bug reports, I've tried: * Running with fresh preferences.xml * Geometric bounding box * Reducing the complexity of the design * Hiding layers (there are 24 layers) to only ones that are relevant for the operation (usually only two layers) * Hiding rulers and scroll-bars * Maximising memory and threads (with restart) I'm out of ideas, and I hope that someone might be able to recommend something. If there are no ideas, I'll work on a design that I can share so that we could work though it. Thanks, Saar.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Fwd: Check coding style examples
by Maren Hachmann 09 Apr '16

09 Apr '16

Hi everyone, I'm forwarding this message from Sylvain (website contributor, French translator), which bounced when he tried to send it to the devel mailing list. Could someone please double-check if the salvaged code examples on the website correspond to the style guidelines? Thanks! Kind regards, Maren Message from Sylvain: Hello everybody, There were previously code examples on the page of the website about the coding style. These were removed when a highlighter plugin was removed from the CMS. We could get them back from a backup but I restored the format myself as it was encoded (with \r\n instead of line endings and many spaces had run away). Could you please check that the 3 codes are really conformant to the coding style, then correct errors or describe them? The codes are only on the French version of the page; I will add them on the English version when we will be sure they are good. https://inkscape.org/fr/developper/style-du-code-source/ Note: I am not on the inkscape-devel mailing list, remember to keep me as a receiver of mails about this topic. -- Sylvain

Easying slur fine-tuning engraving in Lilypond files through Inkscape
by Joan Sanz 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

(PRELIMINARY NOTE: This is a feature request. I'm writing to this mailing list because it seems the tracker mailing list has been inactive since 2007. If I'm doing the wrong thing, please tell me how to proceed. Please forgive me if I'm causing any inconveniences and consider providing some guidance on to which wishlist should I address this request. Thank you very much.) * * * Hi everybody. First of all, excuse my English. It is not my mother tongue. Please also bear in mind that I'm not an expert Inkscape user and the terms I'll be using to describe my request can be ambiguous or even wrong (I hope not, though. ;)) I've been using Lilypond music engraving software (lilypond.org) for a while and I've been experiencing the pain of having to manually adjust slurs (actually drawn as bezier curves) when I want to get publishing-quality scores. The most straightforward way to achieve this is using \shapeII function in one of the following forms: \shapeII #'(()(polar 50 0.35)(polar 30 0.25)()) or \shapeII #'(()(absolute-polar 50 0.35)(absolute-polar 30 0.25)()) (Cf. the document by the creator of the function: http://lilypond-stuff.1065243.n5.nabble.com/file/n5705621/shapeII-examples.… , paragraph 4, "polar coordinates" info. Cf. also https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-11/msg00823.html for more information.) The point of my request is making Inkscape assist slur editing/fine-tuning in a double way: first, taking advantage of the direct graphical editing capabilities it offers, and secondly, providing the relevant information generated in such a form the Lilypond function can understand ---the more direct, the better. The intended workflow would be: 1) Lilypond compiles the text file and outputs a pdf file. 2) Inkscape imports the generated pdf. 3) Slurs are manually edited. 4) For each slur, mathematical/Lilypond-understandable info is shown/generated (possibly by tweaking some Inkscape extension in python?) so that 5a) it can be at least manually typed into the Lilypond file, thus saving endless, painful recompiling trial-and-error attempts to get the satisfactory slur. Or, ideally, 5b) the gathered/computed info is formatted (by the extension?) and shown (directly on the svg file, on an auxiliary window?) so that it can be copied-pasted onto the lilypond file, or, even better, 5c) piped to a script that modifies the original Lilypond text file by inserting the data properly. In this case, I don't know whether the fact that the requested feature can be written in python and that the Lilypond file can be manipulated using the Frescobaldi editor (frescobaldi.org), which is written in python and allows easy extension of its features through python snippets, could automate the process even more. :) Back to the \shapeII function, the relevant stuff for the present discussion are (absolute-polar 50 0.35) and (absolute-polar 30 0.25) parentheses. Graphically speaking, this pair of parentheses contain the mathematical description of the handles used to control bezier curves drawing in Inkscape. The absolute-polar notation that shapeII understands fits *almost* directly to the data about the angles of the handle that Inkscape shows at the bottom of the main window when you're moving it (That means Inkscape somehow already provides this data, the problem is how to made it available for the requested feature). The only thing that should be tweaked when doing the math is modifying the value Inkscape gives for the *right* handle. For this value to be valid in the lilypond shapeII function it has to be subtracted to 180: valid right handle angle value = 180 - Inkscape value Secondly, the info at the bottom of the main window also tells us about the length of the moving handle. The second numerical value inside the parentheses is the ratio between the length of the handle and the distance between the distal nodes: \shapeII #'(()(absolute-polar 50 A)(absolute-polar 30 B)()) where A = left handle length / distal length B = right handle length / distal length That means getting the info about the length of the handles (the same as with angles) *and* calculating the distance between two points, i.e., the first and last nodes of the bezier curve. I'm aware this can be manually done with the measuring tool Inkscape provides, but here an automatic calculation of the distance is needed. As I said at the beginning, I'm not an expert at all, but I think that this request can be easily implemented by a python programmer (perhaps based on Inkscape-0.91/share/extensions/measure.py file?) and it would mean a *huge* improvement for the Lilypond user's community. Thanks for your attention, Joan.

Paint-order attribute needs to be put in stroke properties dialogue

We need a checkbox for it in the stroke properties tab. Currently I think it's a compile-time flag, which means it's unusable for most users. I'd love to highlight this feature in the Inkscape video at LGM. Can someone add this? For reference as to what it does, look here: https://plus.google.com/+inkscape/posts/QBxB6CDhNzZ Thanks. :) -C

Re: [Inkscape-devel] 0.91 performance when zoomed in (Saar Drimer)
by jelle 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hello Saar, Indeed you found your culprit, but added to that I see a lot of transparency objects in your design. If you have many layers as your design does and each of those has transparent objects in them I can imagine that things got a tad slow. Instead of a simple integer being used to display a single colour every layer of transparency needs to get calculated, added to the the previous one using floating point calculations. I imagine that this is handled on a logarithmic scale 1,2,4,8 etc. per layer used or per overlapping object. If your bottom layers were masked stacks of the same type of objects, I can imagine that the calculations of the masks are applied after going through the whole object stack calculation. Maybe using clips instead would make the result faster as well as those are simpler calculations to my knowledge. In any regard using lots of floating points explains the delay in screen refresh as well. It certainly isn't the amount of nodes. Cheers, Jelle

Escher Sketch and interactive tiled cloning.
by Mark Schafer 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Anyone seen this: - https://levskaya.github.io/eschersketch/ Works quite well as a live sketch tiling tool. Possibly misnamed. I see we have many of these reflection modes which can only be reached via Edit/Clone/CreateTiledClones... The modes for which are explained here: - http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/images/WallpaperTransformations.png linked from here: - http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/OnCanvasSymmetryTool I can see several pages here and there on proposals for an interactive UI. E.g. the one above, http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tiled-Clones It seems the paths can't be edited after tiling. I may be wrong about this but I can't work it out. (Only one shape can be selected at a time when hitting Create. I guess you have to group them first) I found this tutorial - http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles.html I seem to recall a lot of UI work was done on a way to make his work - maybe a year or more ago. I'm clearly using the wrong google search terms :( Did any of it make it into a release ? GSOC ?

0.91 performance when zoomed in (Saar Drimer)
by jelle 04 Apr '16

Saar, Can you take a look at the objects using the XML editor and see what that tells you? To me it sounds like you may have some opacity or blur filters still going on. Also when you use the no filter display, is it still the same? That should give a decent clue as to what is going on. Cheers, Jelle

[Can ignore if you're not attending the Hackfest!] Hi All, Some information about the Hackfest venue, and a request for your dietary requirements... == Venue == The Hackfest venue will be in the Evans Room at Devonshire Hall in the Hyde Park area of Leeds [1]. It is a traditional "Oxbridge style" stone-built hall. Our meeting room will accommodate 10 delegates. == Catering == A buffet lunch will be provided each day. I will suggest that we break for lunch at 1300 each day, unless there are any objections. Please let me know by tomorrow if you have any special dietary requirements. There will also be an unlimited supply of tea, coffee and biscuits. Sugar, milk and soy milk will be provided. == Facilities == * Wireless networking * UK mains power (remember to bring your own socket adapters if you're coming from outside the UK!!) * Data projector & screen * Flipchart and pens == Nearby amenities == There are a few pubs, bars, cafes and coffee shops 5 minutes walk away from the venue if we want a change of scenery. There is also a small convenience store. The venue is located on the Woodhouse Ridge nature trail if you want to step out for some fresh air [2]. == Local contact == I live within walking distance of the venue. Send me a message if you get stuck! I'll also be free on the Sunday evening before the Hackfest if anyone would like to meet for food/drink in Leeds City Centre. Best wishes, Alex [1] http://www.meetinleeds.co.uk/devonshire-hall [2] http://www.woodhouseridge.org.uk/

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Proposal for building Windows devlibs and for windows build environment setup
by Michael Soegtrop 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Dear LRN, > 1) I would suggest MSYS2 to be used (instead of Cygwin), as a shortcut, as > it cuts down the number of packages that need to be built. Using MSYS2 > might also be faster (because compatibility layer will be thinner than Cygwin). I made quite extensive tests of cygwin with MinGW cross vs MSys2 and came to the conclusion that cygwin requires much less patching and messing around than MinGW for building most libs. The only advantage of MSys2 is that GTK and all its dependencies are available pre-built, but the MinGW GTK build on cygwin is fairly straight forward, it just takes build time. On cygwin I mostly use a generic download / configure / make / install shell function for building. Some libraries need a patch or two, but with cygwin this is the exception, not the rule. I think that maintainability and cleanliness is more important than build time, since most people won't touch the libs and build them at most once a quarter. As long as it is fully automated, I don't care if it takes 3 hours. Another reason I finally settled with cygwin is that the scripts are 99% identical to what is needed for a cross build on Linux. The deviations with MSys2 tend to be larger. But I guess this is a topic one can argue about forever. How about we share our scripts, experience and ideas and work on both MSys2 and cygwin+MinGW in parallel and see what is easier in the end? Most of the work is solving specific build issues and it would be great to have someone to discuss this. I would suggest that we take this off list. I send you my scripts stripped down to what is shared between inkscape and my original project later today via private mail. Best regards, Michael

Git
by Krzysztof Kosiński 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Eventually we probably need to move to Git. The user interface is completely atrocious, but the fact it works from a single directory by default is very convenient when using Eclipse, and Eclipse is an elephantine monstrosity but has good code navigation. This could also encourage more people to contribute, since almost all OSS developers know Git, while a very limited number know Bazaar at this point. The bug tracker and answer tracker should definitely stay on Launchpad, but what about the code? Should we use Launchpad's nascent Git support, or some other site like Github? What people think? We can convert lib2geom first and apply the lessons learned to Inkscape. Best regards, Krzysztof

Proposal for building Windows devlibs and for windows build environment setup
by Michael Soegtrop 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Dear Inkscape Team, I have a proposal for improving the delivery for the windows libs and for setting up a build environment. The current method of delivering binary libs has two disadvantages: 1.) it restricts the user to a very specific binary gcc build (at least the docs say so). 2.) it is tricky to check if this delivery method is GPL compliant. According to GPL if you deliver binaries you also have to deliver sources, and it is a lot of work to check all libs licenses and to check if all required sources are in the delivery. Please note that it is NOT sufficient to say "this is standard GPL software and you can download the sources from the official sources". If you delivery binaries, you have to deliver the sources. Now to my proposal: for another open source project I created 2 scripts: one which automatically sets up a fresh cygwin with MinGW cross support and whatever else is needed and another one which downloads and builds a bunch of libraries and apps from sources, including GTK, cairo and pango. About 70% of the libs inkscape requires are built by this script, so it wouldn't be that much work to add the remaining 30%. This does not just setup a build environment and builds everything automatically, it also documents exactly what was used and how it was built (and possibly patched). So my proposal would be to instead of delivering the libs as binaries and lengthy instructions just deliver these two scripts. The scripts are fairly simple and well documented. The build for inkscape and all its libs from scratch would likely be 2..3 hours on a decent machine. Would others appreciate such a mechanism to build inkscape on windows? Usually it would be a single call to a DOS batch file to setup cygwin and start the download and build process. Best regards, Michael

Fwd: CMake Windows build: should it work?
by Michael Soegtrop 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Dear Inkscape Team, I was on travel an wanted to work a bit on my embroidery stuff on the way. Unfortunately I just had a Windows laptop with me and I found that building the latest trunk version on Windows with CMake doesn't work out of the box. First question: is this supposed to work or is CMake for Windows work in progress? I could only get it to build after adding a few libs. Also the order in which libs are given to the linker I had to change. The make install target just installs gettext stuff, nothing else, which makes it tricky to run the built exe. In case this is known to not work, any nobody is working on this, I could work on fixing this (I am already quite far). Otherwise are there some docs on how to configure it correctly with CMake on Windows? Best regards, Michael

Participation in LGM [Design]
by Xaviju Julián 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Hi everyone! Since this year is the LGM and the hackfest it could be a good moment to meet personally with some of you and talk/learn about the Inkscape interface design. In a conversation with Ilmari, from the LibreOffice team, he pointed out that they currently have a design team with great results. A design team could (should!) also include developers, who like to hack on the UI and how functionality is presented to the user. We are also part of the Open Source Design community with tons of designers with interest in contributing but have little idea on how to start contributing to projects like Inkscape. This Design team could help new contributors to be useful on the current development. We really want to contribute to Inkscape with our skills :) Do you think it would be good to create an official Design team inside Inkscape? In a conversation with Jabier he suggested us to meet in the hackfest in Leeds, we are a group of 2-3 designers going to the LGM and, if you think it would be useful to meet in the hackfest, we could make it to Leeds on 13th (arriving 12th night). Thanks, looking forward to meet at the LGM! Xavi

Inkscape with touch screens?
by Brynn 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Hi Friends, Occassionally we've had a message in forums about using Inkscape with a touch screen. And in the past I've always answered "not yet". But now I'm shopping for a new laptop, and approx 90% of the laptops available in my RAM range (16 gb) are "2 in 1" types which have touch screens. I've had to search rather closely to find a non-touch screen! If I look in the lower range of RAM (around 6 gb) the available systems are roughly split between touch and non-touch screens. But even then, it gives the impression that touchscreen computers are much more common than I had imagined. The last time I bought a new computer, touchscreens were rare! Anyway, I wanted to ask the development community -- will Inkscape ever be made to work using a touch screen, or will it always be mouse (or graphics tablet/pen) driven (also commandline)? Or is using a touch screen essentially the same as a graphics tablet, and Inkscape is already touch-capable? Thanks for some clarity (answer doesn't need to be very technical) :-) Thank you very much, brynn

Dbus implementation

Hello, I've noticed that a Dbus application was written during a former GSOC event (2009), and I was wondering why it was not included by default in Inkscape. Does the implementation still need some work? I would be glad to work on this if needed. Best, Raphaël

support for gcode extensions
by Brynn 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

Hi Friends, I provide support for Inkscape daily, in bb style forums or occassionally in LP Answers. A couple of things are missing across the community. 1 - tutorials for using gcode tools, and 2 - support for questions and problems with those extensions. I know that the extensions all reference a single, 30-page topic in a Russian forum, as a place to get support. But we still are getting questions posted in other forums, that we just can't answer. Is there any other place where people can find support? Thanks, brynn

Inkscape Hackfest: I'll bring teh coffeh
by C R 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

I have a small nespresso coffee-pod type coffee machine which fits nicely in a bit of hand luggage. I'm also willing to smuggle a truly questionable quantity of coffeepods to Leeds, since it seems most folks who are attending love coffee to some degree, and it's friggin miles to the nearest coffee chain stores. What I want to know is: who wants coffee, and how much per day. I'm going to bulk-order nespresso coffeepods (or reasonable facsimiles), which will get them cheaper than they would be otherwise. If you are attending the inkscape hackfest, and want coffee, just reply with your average per-day quota, and I'll add it all up to see how much to lug along. Also advise if you want other things like sugar, powdered milk, soy, cocoa, etc. Thanks! -C

ANN: reproducible build & test virtual machine
by Olof Bjarnason 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

Hi Inkscape list! I've worked on a Vagrantfile* over the past few months, that is able to bring up a virtual build- and test machine for Inkscape. The VM is running on Lubuntu linux (lightweight Ubuntu) so you can actually run the inkscape binary produced by the build. You can, of course, modify the Inkscape source code within the VM, and rebuild. So if you got Vagrant and VirtualBox up and running, creating a development environment for Inkscape is just a "vagrant up" away. Because of this, it is relatively simple to develop Inkscape regardless on what OS&machine you are on, be it Windows, Mac or Linux - as long as you can install VirtualBox and Vagrant you are good to go. I'd love feedback and/or pull requests. https://github.com/objarni/inkup/ /Olof * The Vagrantfile is the "recipe" used to build a VM using Vagrant. Vagrant automates the creation and management of virtual machines on a computer. It supports VM ware, VirtualBox and more.

Quick fix suggestion: Filter document "Page Size" options based on "display units" drop-down
by C R 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Working on the video templates today and noticed that many of the options for template sizes that are present in the "New from template" dialogue are missing in the Document Properties options (including video templates). But... Rather than include a search (which may be nice but time-consuming as a fix). Why don't we include them all, but filter the options shown based on the units selected in the "display units". So if the user chooses "in" then show all options with dimensions listed in inches In my case, the template would naturally be in px for video, so having chosen "px", I'd get my 1080p template right away without having to open a new file (or remember that 1080 is the height rather than the width, which always gives me issues remembering "1920" for some reason). At the least, I think it should make the px values float to the top of the list, for convenience. The sizes are somewhat haphazardly listed at the moment. Thoughts? -C

Linked offset broken in trunk
by C R 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hey, just noticed that linked offset now produces very bad results. I'm using Inkscape 0.91+devel r (Mar 14 2016) To reproduce results: 1. Draw any shape 2. Add a linked offset to the shape 3. Drag the linked offset handle out or in. Star and rounded rectangle example with linked offset here: http://www.opendesignstudio.org/inkscape/linked_ofset_problem.png As you can see the results are wavey/garbagey. Whatever changes were made to the linked offset modifier seem to have broken it pretty badly. :/ Thoughts? -C

Installing Inkscape nightly alongside stable 0.91 on Linux Mint 17.3
by jelle 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Installing Inkscape nightly alongside stable 0.91 on Linux Mint 17.3 Is that possible? And if so, how exactly? Or does it install like that already? I'd rather not replace my stable release with the nighlies, but would like to be more active testing now I can finally report bugs. But I can also imagine wanting to use a nightly as production tool if the bugs can be avoided and the functionality gain warrants its use. I also wonder if some of the bug fixes couldn't be released as Bugfix package rather than to have to wait for a long time till the next stable release. I can imagine that to be a lot of work to keep track of though, so not sure about the feasibility of it. Or maybe some kind of recommended Beta update (as Inkscape is still Beta anyway), that has proven to have some improvements making it worth upgrading. Being able to use Shift+Del and Shift+Insert for text springs to mind as an particularly annoying omission in 0.91 (as years of usage has carved that path in my neural network) but fixed in later nightlies. Cheers, Jelle

Hello, I'm Adrian Boguszewski. I'm 5th year student in the field of Computer Science at Gdansk University of Technology, Poland. I'm interested in Better data structure for selections project. I have expierence with C++ and STL and I know many data structures (e.g. lists, trees, graphs, hash tables), their time and space complexities. Moreover I implemented some of them, during my studies, myself. I've already sucessfully compiled Inkscape and I'm going to start with learning the code and bugs fixing. Is there anything I should to know? Best regards, Adrian

Fwd: GTK+ 3.20
by Krzysztof Kosiński 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Heads up: GTK+ 3.20 will allow us to get rid of the Windows-specific file dialogs. Best regards, Krzysztof ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Matthias Clasen" <matthias.clasen@...400...> Date: Mar 21, 2016 7:01 PM Subject: GTK+ 3.20 To: <gnome-announce-list@...45...>, "gtk-devel-list" < gtk-devel-list@...45...>, "gtk-app-devel-list" < gtk-app-devel-list@...45...>, <gtk-list@...45...> Cc: GTK+ 3.20.0 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/3.20/ sha256 sum: 1c3d3a4a6e959ec8636ccb074bcdb8fa25c81ec56fbc70de6a3f5ef83ba6d803 gtk+-3.20.0.tar.xz What is GTK+ ============ GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a comprehensive set of widgets as well as facilities for creating your own widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Python, Vala and JavaScript (especially in combination with gobject-introspection and the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development. GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all developers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties. Since its origins as the toolkit for the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), GTK+ has been used in a wide range of software. Notably, GTK+ is the foundation of the GNOME desktop. What's new in 3.20 ================== Major new features include: * The CSS machinery now uses element names for widgets and their components * CSS margins, borders, padding and min-width and min-height are now much more consistently supported * CSS features that have been added: radial gradients, recoloring symbolic icons, image(), calc(), rem * Help overlays to document keyboard shortcuts and gestures * GTK+ now reads .XCompose files * GTK+ can use native file choosers on Windows * A HighContrastInverse theme has been added * The Wayland backend has full support for DND, kinetic scrolling, startup notification, primary selection, presenting windows, bell. * Deprecations and removals: Style properties, testing infrastructure, geometry support in window sizing, GdkDeviceManager, gtk_text_iter_begins_tag, gdk_display_get_screen For more details and lists of fixed bugs, see the NEWS file that is included in the tarball, or see: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/plain/NEWS?id=3.20.0 For concerns about porting from older GTK+ releases, see the README file that is included in the tarball, or see: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/plain/README.in?id=3.20.0 Where to get more information about GTK+ ======================================== Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be found at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for GTK+ is found at: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk3/stable/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk3/stable/gtk-question-index.html Contributing ============ GTK+ is a large project and relies on voluntary contributions. We are actively searching for new contributors in various areas and invite everyone to help project development. If you are willing to participate, please subscribe to the project mailing lists to offer your help and read over our list of vacant project tasks: http://live.gnome.org/GTK+/Roadmap Thanks to the many people who contributed to this release in the form of bug reports, patches and translations.

Well,.. Considering the move to put some effort into a new UI design, I say we could combine > Customisable UI with >Inkscape that works on tablet. It wouldn't need to be a whole new version, a new screen setting called blank slate, with nothing but some floating dockable tool widgets. For tablets, a customisable UI would do the trick. Hell, just a customisable toolbox would do the trick, for starters. If you can initiate a widget to appear on screen now, I cannot imagine it to be that difficult to create some buttons named ABC etc. that when clicked executes a key combo, that you could just add to the default one. Ehm,.. better still if you could replace the default options (such as tweek, star, spiral and 3d box) with something you actually would like to use and/or change the locations of such tools so something like the bucket fill tool and color dropper don drop of my low res screen. Those are nice gadgets, but the past 13 years I've hardly ever used them. A golden ratio drawing tool would make more sense to me than the spiral. It would also allow for some of the those useful LPE's and extensions to find a place on the desktop rather than hidden in the drop down menu. So would I rather increase the productivity of Inkscape than add more options? Yes, I would! Reorganising the UI to my idea is at the same level of importance as optimising code considering the plethora of hard to access options we already have, but hardly use. Call me a point and click addict if you like, but having a visual reference is important to me. Keyboard mappings don't stay in my Alzheimer brain. >> On Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 1:20 PM, William Adams <will.adams@...3004...> >> wrote: >>> I have to run a small button bar utility on my Toshiba >>> Encore 2 Write 10 which provides Alt/Shift/Ctrl/Space/Tab/Enter keys.

There are an increasing number of machines with Wacom compatible screens. The obvious advantage of those being that you see where you put your pen. As the Microsoft Surface was quite an success, more producers are hopping on that train. Huawei Mate springs to mind as a serious contender with a lot more bang for the buck. I have an old IBM x41 with Wacom sensitive pen input, but the use is limited because the resolution of the screen is a mere 1024x768. However, when drawing vectors that doesn't hurt too much. What does hurt is the absence of a widget to enable all the CTRL SHIFT ALT DEL keyboard shortcuts and right mouse button actions by pen input. Having a full keyboard on screen is an option, but that eats pixels. There are also quite a few Android tablets with pressure sensitive inputs that you can use in combination with VNC to display your workstation workspace and then draw away on it with the pen input interface. Samsung Note slabs are quite useful for that. On f-droid you can find the required tools for that. Another place to find them are in the form of white boards in education. Basically an over-sized Wacom compatible board with a video beamer or direct large screen layer, though the latter are less sensitive in my experience. As they are intended for finger input, the resolution of the input isn't all that great and in combination with a video beamer, the position of the finger on the screen needs to be calibrated and even then is always a bit off. Having bigger interaction handles would be useful. You can already increase the range, but not the visual size. That said, with the increased screen resolutions of tablets, the case for using those for illustrators that want to move from paper to unlimited document sizes and paper supply becomes more appealing. I suggest anyone interested to walk into a shop and play with the Microsoft surface pen. It is very responsive and smooth to use and everyone used to drawing can easily adopt to it. The things get flogged at a rather steep price and tit comes with MSW 10, so hardly something I can recommend, but the tech is there to follow. Finger input may seem useless and can be discarded as irrelevant for most purposes, but is the way you interact with whiteboards. There you have a single touch interface, so right mouse button widgets are less than useful. I can also imagine people starting to use VR inputs in the foreseeable future. Having a more touch friendly UI will certainly increase adaptation. > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2016 22:51:28 +0000 > From: C R <cajhne@...400...> > Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape with touch screens? > To: Brynn <brynn@...3133...> > Cc: Inkscape-Devel <Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> > Message-ID: > <CABdJpS4ZVquQW5HiF8ndtN_HJ=3No9rhfQsD6StxuLdiXz6gTA@...401...> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > >> >> So you mean that Inkscape's pressure sensitivity works on a touch >> screen? >> You mean like with a stylus, or do you mean using a graphics tablet's >> pen >> on the touch screen? There are tablets and laptops that have Wacom tablet input on top of the screen surface. So you have a pressure sensitive input with direct visual response. The x220T and x41 of IBM are early examples of that, but because they were not very responsive (the drawn object would trail the pen) they were not all that useful. Anything that used complex calc would take too long to process by the CPU. >> > > For pressure sensitivity to work *at all* the screen/pen must support it. > Presently there are no desktop or laptop computers that have > touch-pressure, so to use pressure at all, you need a stylus, and > moreover > you need a stylus that supports pressure sensitivity.

It wouldn't be such an effort using GTK3 I would imagine. I don know what exactly happens to the current icon sets that are SVG objects, but rescaling them to larger sizes shouldn't be all that difficult I would think.There would be a trade off for clutter instead of functionality, but a few recommended settings should help a lot. > There is nothing to gain except a > substantially slower workflow, and endless hidden menu navigation to cram > in everything that makes Inkscape the graphics powerhouse that it is. That's why I suggest user definable collapsible UI widgets that can be placed anywhere on the screen or at the edges of it. That way you could easily create tool sets that use a tool with predefined settings, whereas the rest of the tools are normally hidden. It would remove the clutter and greatly increase the workflow if one can single click a pen with different colour, stroke and width settings as defined by the user or indeed any other tool, instead of having to go around the menu's as they are now. The example of how that would look like unfortunately cannot be shared through e-mail and I have no access to any file sharing service that is accessible from outside China atm. If you happen to know a place where I can upload my examples to that is not related to anything blocked in China, please inform me so I can upload and make a link to it. > > There are features that could be added to make Inkscape a better > illustration program with a stylus, though. > > For example: > 1.

Yes, because when you change the orientation of the OS, chances are that the orientation of your Wacom/Pen input follows are slim. Same with professional screens that allow you to change the angle 90 degrees. They often lack driver support for Linux. Having this option in the application itself would be very useful. > 2.

Installing Debian next to your Android and then using Inkscape makes sense as well. iOS less so as it is a niche platform with a walled garden software model that is difficult to penetrate.

SpinachCon Results
by Martin Owens 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Dear Inkscape, These are the results from todays user testing at SpinachCon 2016 here in Boston: * Selecting objects is hard when there are transparent areas * Double clicking often hit mistakenly * Tools for text are hard to find compared to other tools (no context when text and path selected for example) * Text did not indicate it's text alignment when changed (user was confused) * Tried to drag the text node (which indicates the text alignment) * Colour wheel was hard to use (dragging attempted) * Completing an object (the final node) was difficult in 80% of cases creating false endings in most cases. * Clicking wrong option in text menu resulted in text disappearing (Fit in box, rather than put on path) No LPEs or other advanced features tested New items: * New rendering order UI: all users used icons to select the requested rendering order quickly. Line cap and corner style uneffected. * Fixed unit text line height was still a bit buggy, but worked ok. Units reverted to pixels which confused users. I've formatted the items for ease of reading. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Thoughts on touchscreen, UI design
by jelle 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

Hi all, Touchscreen and pen input I like to add to this discussion the use on interactive white boards. I often use Inkscape on white boards in classrooms, which in general works very well when using the pressure pen tool. Text and drawings can be easily made and getting students to interact with it can be quite fun. I do recognise the double click error though as it is very easy to have a touch screen react to a hovering finger as a double click, which for instance breaks a group object when dragging it and then selects a smaller part of it where the finger was. With many manufacturers producing touch screen enabled laptops, tablets and keyslabs, with or without stylus or even pressure pens I would certainly applaud any attempt to have a user definable toolbox added to the interface. Microsoft Surface has proven to be a success WITH stylus and others are copying the format such as Huawei with the Mate. When a keyboard is missing it is quite a hassle to do something simple as an Undo or any of the CTRL+ SHIFT+ ALT+ functions. Having a persistant button on screen for those combinations would make sense for white boards that DO NOT HAVE multitouch and older pen input devices like my old IBM X41 T. I can also imagine a use for the pen input devices like Wacom tablets here. For both pen input and whiteboard I reverted back to Inkscape 0.48 as the new slider widget for values in opacity and blur proved to be too hard to use. Using a mouse it is hard enough to move your finger within a 5 px sensitivity, but for a finger or stylus, that is near impossible. Their precision level isn't the same as a mouse. Now instead of a total redesign of the interface, how much work would it be to just add a toolbox, like the one on the left side? But with user definable keys and a standard set of keys like CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, Undo, Redo and maybe a Number button to type in numeric keypad widget, to touch in a number. The latter might also be useful to select first before selecting one of the slider widgets so instead of accidentally moving the slider from 0.3% blur to 97% blur and waiting quite a bit to click the right spot this time before you get to the function actually desired? Basically it would only be a widget were you can define keyboard mappings to a key, so not really a big deal to make I would think. UI Design Eventually that might lead to a fully user definable tool set, where a user might choose to only have his preferred tools on screen and nothing else on a full screen display for minimalist with one or several collapsible tool boxes, user defined so without the clutter of options you hardly ever use and more room for those nifty LPE's that you might actually want to use in another way that through a drop down menu as option number X. Coreldraw had a similar functionality that allowed you to remove the clutter but made the mistake to not display half the functionality in the first place. Unless you knew what to look for you would never use it, so I would suggest a few default toolsets to be included that give all options. It might even allow users to interchange their favorite tool settings for specific tasks (Cutter, Embroiders, Illustrators, Text layout, Web layout, etc.), creating a whole new class of user interactivity online. I could also imagine creating widgets from widgets, as to set values you use a lot but not exclusively. Now you set the values for a tool once and every next use of the tool will have the same setting. i.e. I make a rect have rounded corners and the next rect I draw inherits the setting. Same with color etc. Same with LPE settings. However, quite often I have a certain type of setting I would like to remember. So far the way to do that is open the document I used it in, find the object and then copy the settings to a new object. Ehm,.. not all that straightforward. Now if you could just create a new tool widget using the current settings of your LPE, Pen tool, Rect or whatever, it would make things a bit simpler for authors. Imagine 5 Pen settings you use a lot 1,2,4,8,16 px width and instead of having to move a slider in the context menu all the time, just adding a widget for that with the correct width, colour and whatever. For sure that shouldn't be in the default UI, but it would be a great productivity tool for those that do cartoon drawings. Imagine 12 settings for a LPE tool you use a lot. 3 types of Lorum Ipsum settings. Basically anything that normally needs lots of mouse clicks and number setting to get used, collected into a single action. Shift+ to edit the setting. CTRL+ to create a child widget. ALT+ to save the new settings. Sounds like bliss to me. Now understandably, you don't want to end up with 200 icons lining your screen either, so having them collapsible into groups would be a great way to solve all the clutter as you won't use them all at the same time either. As suggested by CR, this could just as well be just another screen view option as well, leaving the old interface intact for those that want tons of options in sight and allow for switching when looking for something you do not know the name for to create a new widget. It would certainly encourage experimenting with new options if they are more readily available on screen using a single click rather than having to find them in a list of options. As there are now several people interested in forming a UI design team, it may well be an idea to have them form a workgroup to discuss ideas and form that into a proposal. As a long time user of about any graphics design tool ever produced including Inkscape and 20 years experience designing UI, I would gladly add my two cents to the discussion. Having the core programmers focus on functionality rather than user interaction may be useful as well once we've established a default UI and defined all interaction standards and some possible alternative methods related to theme or platform. The option to theme Inkscape is a recurrent one and though I am not all that convinced by the need for it, having the capability as a result of a UI redesign wouldn't hurt either. It would allow for some widgets to interact in a different way depending on input method for instance. That would allow for the fingerpaint version of the UI as well. Oh, and to avoid blank stares, I've included an example of how I think the UI of Inkscape might evolve. Mind you, this is a very early prototype just to explain the idea, so not much eye candy yet.

Fwd: gradient mesh small test results
by erik teodoru 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hi! I recently discovered the hidden function 'gradient mesh" I know it is still under development but I consider it WOW. :) It is a great tool and I hope it will be included in the new version. I try to find the developing version 0.92, but I found for download only version "Inkscape 0.91+devel_64bit r14690" and in this one I did not found the mesh tool in the tool box... I read that 0.92 is not yet released for test. Maybe I am wrong? Is there any place wher eI can find 0.92 for testing? I make a post in the inkscape forums *Board index General Inkscape Topics Inkscape Ideas , called " Gradient Mesh Tool - first results after testing"* with considerations of my test. So I put here my comments, sustained also by pictures for proving what I mean to say. I have 1 recommandation and 2 "bug comments" (or maybe I don't know how to handle the tool properly...) that I want to make. 1. Recommandation It would be interesting to have the possibility to have a function that a allow the mesh tool to automatically pick up the color from the visible layers (except the working one, of course) for all / selected points. The layer from which the color is selected can be from underneath layers, or all layers, all VISIBLE layers, etc - this function can have more options. I spend a lot of time in "collecting" the color that I need from the underneath layers and this will really help 2. "Bug" number 1. Sometimes when I try to move a handle, the lines disappear and I must use CTRL+Z to get them back (but I cannot move the handles, because ANY handle moved, provoke this issue). To be honnest, I don't know how I reach this situation, it is happening only for one of the objects I use. See Picture Bug1 3. "Bug" number 2. Objects created with this tool (the hidden gradient mesh tool) cannot be moved / flipped, etc. In fact, they can, but they became invisible... See Picture Bug 2 (mouth original and duplicate the mouth then moved it - the square shows whre the duplicate mouth is, but it is invisible). I tried tu "move up" the object, I even hide all other layers - but unfortunately, the object remain invisible. It became invisible after the first action did to it - flip, move, rotate, etc. This is annoying because I wanted to use the first eye asa a base for the second, but now I must re-draw it from scratch... Thank you for your efforts! Hope this help the guys who are working in developing this wonderful tool ! Pictures referred are attached - or see them in my post -- Have a nice day! Erik Teodoru -- Have a nice day! Erik Teodoru

Python extensions
by Raphaël Bournhonesque 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hello, As you may know, Python 3 release introduced a break of compatibility with Python 2.7. Currently, Inkscape Python extensions (and the inkex.py file) is only compatible with Python 2. It is possible to make the code compatible with both versions, but some external modules (such as six or python-future) are necessary. I think it is necessary to switch to a Python 3 compatible codebase, to attract new extensions developers, and for the ease of maintenance. What is your opinion on this matter ? Raphaël

LGM Video : Code review needed for Jabier's excellent rotate objects LPE improvements.
by C R 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hi everyone! I need a quick favour... I've worked out the script for the LGM video, and there's one last piece missing from the lineup: I'd absolutely LOVE to add Jabier's massive improvements to the LPEs : 1. "Rotate copies" opendesignstudio.org/inkscape/LPE_rotate_copies_fusioned_paths_jabier_mod.o… 2. "Mirror Symmetry" http://www.opendesignstudio.org/inkscape/lpe_mirror_symmetry_jabier_mod.ogv In these videos I've taken bits of Jabier's Youtube screen casts (with permission of course) to combine them into these quick demos that show what has been changed. The credits at the end are my own doing. Sorry about using the same music, for both. :) Anyway... As you can see, these additions push the LPE to a whole new level of usefulness that is frankly drool-worthy, a massive time-saver, and is an excellent example of the raw graphics power Inkscape is capable of. Since the LGM video is very much about eye-candy for the state of the project, these are fireworks that are simply essential to the lineup. If someone could help us commit these few essential modifications, it would help tremendously! Thanks in advance! -C

Wiki Account Request
by Shamit Verma 16 Mar '16

Hi I recently had to build Inkscape 0.91 in an environment that only had a minimal installation of Redhat (RHEL 6.5). I think it might be of interest to others and could be in addition of steps for compiling an older version (Inkscape 0.47 on RHEL 4) that is available on Wiki at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingRHEL.

Development Project Management System
by Vatsala Swaroop 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Hi everyone! My name is Vatsala Swaroop and I am a final year undergraduate studying Electronics and Communication Engineering in National Institute of Technology Nagpur. I went through the ideas list and "Development Project Management System" really sparked my interest! I have a decent background in Python and have extensively worked on multiple Django projects. I also have a good amount of experience in handling Project Management Systems. I went through the related material provided in the Project description. I have cloned and installed all the requirements required for the project. However, I am getting a particular error when I tried to open the site on my localhost: "TypeError at /en/admin/login/ object.__new__(X): X is not a type object (WSGIRequest)" I explored the traceback and saw that the error stemmed from "debug_design/template.py" in the following lines: 44. obj = super(Themer, cls).__new__(request, *args, **kwargs) Can you please tell me what should I do about it? Also, I saw the two patches rule on the page. Are there any specific patches/tasks that I could solve so as to get a better understanding of the website? Thank you for taking out the time to read this. Best Regards, Vatsala

Hi all, are there currently some issues with the mailing list? I sent three mails to inkscape-devel yesterday, two of them apparently didn't get through... Let's see if this message reaches you. ;-) Best Regards, Eduard

Line height with fixed units
by Martin Owens 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Dear Developers, I've committed into r14701 a line height units box. All the functionality seems to work as expected now, but I expect some issues for anything that messes with the units (always do) so please test. I expect you to see one bug which Tav said he'd work on: line height is currently not rendering correctly per line. So a large line and a small line aren't doing quite the right thing together. (and only for text boxes) But apart from that try this file: https://inkscape.org/en/~doctormo/% E2%98%85lines (download the file because web browser won't show the text box) Best Regards, Martin Owens

Quick fix: extend object alignment hotkeys to work for nodes
by C R 12 Mar '16

12 Mar '16

Ctrl-Alt-T - Align selected nodes Horizontal to eachother. Ctrl-Alt-H - Align selected nodes Vertical to eachother. Quickie, but would really help in making diagrams and quick edits within a shape. -C

Hello everyone, I am Aseem Mittal. I am from India. I have done BTech in Computer Science Engineering and ready to pursue my graduate studies. After going through the idea pages, I find myself falling for Development Project Management System. I have tried to install and start the website by following the steps from site: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Website_Development After executing the command './utils/init', python packages got installed but then it got aborted with error 'ImportError: No module named debug_toolbar_line_profiler' I am trying to find the solution but so far nothing. Can someone help me with this and also guide me for further process? -- Aseem Mittal https://aseemmittal.wordpress.com

"object to marker" doesn't work for middle-line marker.

It seems to work okay for the ends, but when you try to pick it as the middle marker, it doesn't work (shows as selected in the drop-down, but nothing happens). Any ideas? -C

Spin button bug
by C R 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Has anyone else noticed there's something pretty seriously wrong with the spin buttons in Inkscape? If you click more than a few times on either the up or down arrow the value goes nuts, and keeps going nuts until you switch to a different tool. Here's a short video capture of the issue: http://www.opendesignstudio.org/inkscape/Inkscape_spin_button_error.mp4 Any ideas? This bug doesn't seem to affect any other programs (I tried Scribus, and GIMP, and both do not feature this bug). I'm running Inkscape 0.91+devel r (Mar 8 2016). This bug is also present in 0.91 stable. -C

Style Sheet Editor
by jelle 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello Tav, Looks very promising and it certainly is a welcome addition to the functionality in any case. On the current design I would like to note that instead of using plus for enabling a style on an object, I would think using a check box with a V would be more logical. I would not use the same symbol twice for different actions as the plus is also used in another context. You show two windows in the concept. Could you just drag and drop a style on an object to give it a class? That would be a welcome addition for the touchscreen user and mouse addicts like me. And vice versa to create a new style from the object. Less mindcraft is often higher productivity. Additional concepts... Would it be an idea to create a style sheet editor that opens a text editor on the right panel that shows the style of the selected object in the external style sheet? Similar to the XML editor, that will read the inline style setting. Another thing that would be helpful is to be able to strip all inline styles and dump them into an external style sheet, possibly removing all the doubles and as such cleaning up the mess. After that, you could create a switch to add incremental style changes either inline or external as to enable people to experiment with it, with a fall back option or several undo levels. I can imagine that people would like to create some basic style sheet, which can be diverted from using inline styles for greater control. Once they are happy with the result they may want to build a variant style sheet or create an additional one so they have a basic style and can add overriding settings in an additional one as you often wouldn't like everything to reside in a single whopper stylesheet. It would avoid users to have to still manually cut the style sheets into little bit using a text editor or the like. Added benefit is the ability to exchange style sheets that way amongst users and the possibility of eventually implementing web animation through them. SMIL is quite dead, but web animation seems to have a better future being supported by all browser implementors of importance, so eventually one hopeful might expect some brave effort on that topic, either from within Inkscape or from the outside with a third party tool that plays well with Inkscape with some level of integration. Pigs can fly if given enough thrust ;-) Possible you might want to colour code what style is being used so one can easily see if there are different styles applied to objects. The colour could be generated from the classname of the style. Not sure how hat might work out with a bunch of stylesheets though, but I would expect that making selectable and displayable columns with coloured boxes at the end of the columns displaying information could be a handy solution to that. It would allow for something similar as the layers widget so you can easily work in a certain stylesheet. Come to think of it, that might be a handy way to work with grouped objects as well in an object manager as well. Colour code them by ID, so one could easily identify them in a list of objects, select a group to work in and block other objects from being selected. Ehm,.. let's stop at that for the moment. Cheers, Jelle

Style Sheet Support
by Kamalpreet Grewal 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Currently I am considering working on the style sheet support. I grabbed the code and compiled it on my system with Ubuntu 14.04. The version I have is Inkscape 0.91+devel r as specified. Before getting into code, I tried creating a style sheet. However I confronted a crash as reported on [1]. I have also referred [2] for getting an insight. It would be great if I get some guidance on how to add support for style sheets.

buildtool update
by Eduard Braun 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi all, I just pushed a small fix for buildtool which solves some glitches with matching regular expressions (see [1] for details). It shouldn't cause any problems, just make sure to run g++ buildtool.cpp -o btool after your next pull to re-compile. Best Regards, Eduard [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1550776

While I'm waiting for Inkscape to redraw the screen....
by C R 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Can we disable box-drag zoom while the "zoom out" function is active? I'm used to shift-clicking to zoom out when I don't have a mousewheel, and if Inkscape detects even the slightest movement while the mouse is pressed, it draws a teeny tiny box and tries to zoom in to it. If the user is zooming out this behaviour should be dissabled, because it's a zoom-in function. Alternatively, or additionally: When it zooms into such a small area, Inkscape takes an absolute age to re-draw gradients and my high-res graphics. It might be best to expand the minimum area that the box-zoom can zoom into. Say 10x10 screen px would be reasonable I think. Thoughts? Ah, there it goes. :) I can work again, yay! :D - C

how to update a git repository?
by alvinpenner 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

I had previously downloaded the git lib2geom repository using the command: git clone git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom Now I saw that there was a recent commit yesterday, so I decided to update. I ran the command : git pull git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom and got the response: >From git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom * branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD Already up-to-date. However, I know that my copy is not uptodate, despite what the message says. Any ideas as to how to do a pull? Also, is there any way of knowing which rev my local repository is currently on? Something equivalent to 'bzr revno' or 'bzr version-info'? I have tried 'git log', but unfortunately it generates an infinite loop from which I cannot escape, so it is not very helpful. I have tried about a dozen varieties of the command 'git log <revision range>' but none of them work. The git help files, unfortunately, are no help because they do not contain any working examples. Also, will I need to implement a SSH key to make changes? I previously did this for launchpad on Windows using Pageant and Putty, but am not sure how to apply that procedure to git, and also I lost my notes from that trial, which was in 2009. any help would be appreciated. tia, Alvin -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/how-to-update-a-git-repository-tp4975817.h… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Code changes related to a scale factor of 1 + 1/15???
by mathog 03 Mar '16

Hi all, Does anybody recall a recent change that would have introduced a scale factor of 1.066667 (1 + 1/15), on Windows only? In a simple test case (one black rectangle) read in from an EMF file, for the same trunk revision, among other issues, I am seeing all coordinates and widths scaled up by that amount on windows relative to linux.

btool slower to link with recent devlibs on Windows (32 bit)
by mathog 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi all, Finally had a chance to update things on my Windows XP 32 bit build box. Devlibs 53 -> 61 and now current inkscape trunk. I'm observing that the link stage is taking a very, very, Very long time to complete. Many minutes. I do not recall it taking that long previously. Am I hallucinating or is it really slower than it used to be? Is there an easy way to disable the build for inkview, so that I can at least not have to wait for that progam's equally slow link? Also I have forgotten the trick to get btool to show what it is doing when it compiles a module. That is, to show the cxx line rather than compile (modulename) Finally, gdb seems to be more hit and miss than I remembered. Doing it this way: gdb file inkscape/inkscape.exe inkscape/inkscape.dbg # set break point here run /c/temp/test2.emf is doing strange things. The break points will not always set. Sometimes it says that it doesn't see the file (emf-inout.c) and other times that it does not see the line specified. build.xml was modified with -O2 -> -O0, so nothing should have been optimized away. Yet other times, it works as one would expect. Also when it segfaults "bt" is wildly uninformative. For the case at hand it is >600 levels deep and each level is just described by a few numbers - no file or module names are shown. Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176...

Screenshots of bool LPE with new slice-inside and slice-outside bool ops.
by Michael Soegtrop 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Dear Inksacpe Team, here are 3 screen shots of the bool-op LPE and the new slice-inside and slice-outside bool ops I implemented this weekend: www.Michael-Soegtrop.de/Inkscape/slice_off.png www.Michael-Soegtrop.de/Inkscape/slice_inside.png www.Michael-Soegtrop.de/Inkscape/slice_outside.png In the slice-outside image please note that the cut shape is transparent - it is not just hiding the lines below. Of cause all normal bool-ops are also supported by the LPE. Since I want to supply a patch for embroidery use based on 0.91 soon, I implemented it based on the old livarot mechanisms, but the new bool ops are just 200 lines with quite a few comments, so I don't see much of an issue to port it later. The main work was anyway thinking about how to do it so that it works reliably and not implementing it. The filltype parameters I will remove and get them from the paths instead. I think these bool-ops are quite useful for normal drawing (not embroidery) as well as a more generic kind of hatching. Best regards, Michael

Quality of gradients.
by Gez 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

A few weeks ago, Tavmjong added a comment to bug #180693, asking if the reported issue was still present with the new renderer. I'm answering here, as I'm adding some personal comments that probably don't belong to the bug report. Please tell me if it's is worth that I add some of this information to the bug report, or feel free to do it if anyone wants to. Regarding the question, As long as Inkscape renders at 8bpc, yes. It will still be a problem. It's possible that some sizes and colors hide the problem more than others, but banding will still be a problem unless images are rendered in higher precision. The easiest way to check this is to draw a grayscale gradient. At 8bpc, you can't paint more than 256 shades of gray. So a 256px-wide gradient will look ok, but as soon as you stretched that gradient to a larger size, banding will appear. An even more extreme example (but not less frequent) is when you also have a grayscale gradient, but instead of going from black to white you go from a middle gray to a lighter gray. If your gradient takes, say 50 levels out of those 256, stretching the gradient will result in severe banding sooner. I don't think it's possible to address banding in 8bpc without some form of dithering, and it looks that the current renderer doesn't apply any. As I mentioned in an older comment, the best way I could find to work around this was using the "spread" filter in GIMP, which jitters the edges of each step of the gradient making it look smoother. There are existing dithering algorithms that could be used too, like floyd-steinberg, bayer, a-diher (http://pippin.gimp.org/a_dither/), etc. but I wonder how effective would they be as we don't have a smooth gradient as a starting point, but a stepped one. Those dithering algos could be useful if inkscape rendered at 16bpc, to bring down the display to 8bpc though. At any rate, rasterizing a vector shape and applying a filter would be prohibitively slow for large sizes so this dithering, if applied, should be probably applied only to export, making this solution unsuitable for on-screen representation. Anyway, I don't think banding is too much of a problem (it is, but it's not as severe) for screen as it is for printing. For printing it becomes a critical issue, as other commenters pointed out. Inkscape is a valuable tool for large format printing which I use daily, and time to time I have to apply some nasty workarounds because of this limitation. For my professional work, the way inkscape renders gradients is a show- stopper. The quality of my work suffers if I don't apply one of those tedious workarounds discussed in this thread. This bug has been reported about 8 years ago, and a lot happened since. Maybe this time, with a new renderer there's something that can be done to get it fixed? Gez

Win64 devlibs update
by Eduard Braun 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Hi all, as some of you might already have noticed I'm working on a major update for the win64 devlibs. Current status: Both trunk and 0.91 build fine and seem to work without obvious flaws on my system! Most of the binaries are contributed by Partha Bagchi whom I'd like to thank very much again! Almost all dependencies were updated to the latest available version and rebuilt from scratch with gcc 5.3. Although work is not yet finished I'm at a point were I'd like to encourage you to test my changes: * If you want to compile Inscape from scratch you can do that as usual [1]. However you'll need a checkout of the updated devlibs branch, see https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-devlibs64/5.3 The updated compiler is available as part of a MinGW-w64 package available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20… Lastly you'll need an updated build-x64.xml. I temporarily uploaded a copy for both trunk and 0.91 branch to my Google drive, see https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3IZiqBj23X1My1CaUE2NjlpVms * If you want to start testing right away, I also provided pre-built packages available from the same link https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3IZiqBj23X1My1CaUE2NjlpVms I'll push some further smaller updates in the coming days. If no bugs or regressions are discovered I'll propose to merge the update after that. Thanks for testing, Eduard [1] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows_64-bit

Wrote a Boolean LPE - How to make operand path invisible?
by Michael Soegtrop 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

Dear Inkscape Developers, I just wrote a Boolean OP LPE. It was quite easy using sp_pathvector_boolop. It works well, just I can't figure out how to make the operand path, which comes in via a OriginalPathParam, invisible. Also I have one design question: Some operations are symmetric, others not. Currently my interface has a bool_op enum and a swap operands bool parameter. I wonder if it would make more sense to combine these into one like: uninion intersection this minus operand operand minus this ... I think this would be easier to use, but it would break consistency with the existing bool op menu operations. Best regards, Michael

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Website Design

26 Feb '16

Yesterday Mc- brought up a design for the inkscape website which got a few approval nods from various attending people: https://yadi.sk/i/CfqypzmvpPbay I contacted the designer at the time and just heard back. So what we have here is a psd of a single page that flows downwards. I expect it to assume a standard set of css frameworks such as bootstrap or similar. I also know that Hinerangi has some designs waiting in the wings for the website and that we've stalled on moving more improvements in. I'm interested in hearing wider feedback from the community since I've been under the impression that the website's design has been fairly serviceable. A replacement would be a fair amount of work and at the moment I'm only committed to making sure the technical integration of any proposed design goes ahead without any barriers. What do you think we should do? Best Regards, Martin Owens

Website design
by Jelle Mulder 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Martin, It may have gotten some approval nods, but mine certainly isn't one of them. Responsive design is nice and all to have and something that needs to be addressed if it hasn't been done already, but this design doesn't cut it. I would also refrain from completely overhauling the current design aspects (colour, type) which are not bad at all. What I see here is a two or possibly 4 column collapsable design that has a splash screen with a download button and some icons on the bottom. All readable info would be off screen in case of a small factor screen. What's the point of that? There is no Android or iOS version of Inkscape, so that would be besides the point wouldn't it? You would only want to be able to read some info rather than the download button. Nor does it strike me as good practice to lard your entry page for smart phones with sizable bitmaps. In my view it just doesn't appeal, both from UI, UX and design point of view. Back to the drawingboard I'd say and give it some thought this time. The website design as it is has room for improvement from a marketing point of view, but in general is quite functional and to the point. Nor am I a great fan of the scrollmania that is so popular these days as a reflection of small factor readers. Single page view designs are still preferable to the hot swipe that goes around as fashionable and hip. Yes to responisive design, but why not make the current design responsive and not just by tossing it into bootstrap.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape text alignment icons
by Martin Owens 24 Feb '16

Dear Claus Staedtler, Thank you for emailing me :-) I think it's a good idea to harmonise where possible. Inkscape's icons are a mix between our icon packs (a tango theme and a symbolic mono-color) none of our themes have text alignment icons (only object alignment icons). In order to use the proposed icons they would have to be installed into the system's icon theme. What is the status of gimp and libreoffice regarding using system icons? Best Regards, Martin OWens P.S. I've forwarded this conversation to the inkscape developer's mailing list (without attachment) we can sort that out later.

Hi Hinerangi, Thanks so much for posting a screenshot of your design, I like it very much. What I like about your design is: * The colour theme, I've grown to like the white an black clean lines * The non-scrolling, single page, makes it easier to do information pages using the same * The news and other information is closer to the top. What I like about eshill's design is: * The four horizontal images for each of the sections * The cleaner download button, separate and large for the first page. * The icons for the information sections (news, users etc) But getting a responsive design would be really nice IMO. One of the best advances for the site.

Basicaly need to know if is svg compilant the transform on svg tag. And if yes, how rotation and other trannsforms -only for info- affect to the viewbox?

any predictions on when, or if, 'miter-clip join' will be implemented?
by alvinpenner 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

I see that the SVG 2 spec contains a new property called miter-clip. https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/painting.html#LineJoin Just wondering whether Inkscape, or any other renderers, are going to implement this, or have already implemented it? I ran into this by accident when trying to produce an svg representation of some spirograph bitmaps. The original spirographs came from https://sourceforge.net/projects/spirograph/ , I have attached a png screenshot of one here. The corresponding svg file that I produced is attached here as well. The svg file has some serious discrepancies at the line joins, which could possibly be fixed by the miter-clip, I hope, hence the question. 13_YellowCircles.png <http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/file/n4975611/13_YellowCircles.png> 13_YellowCircles.svg <http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/file/n4975611/13_YellowCircles.svg> Cheers, Alvin -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/any-predictions-on-when-or-if-miter-clip-j… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hey GR, OK so I fixed the graphics on the site, this was the difference between the two logos: * The inkscape logo was fatter (so preserve aspect ratio) * The white mark towards the lower middle was missing There was also some unintentional errors, with the black blobs not having a background white line. But Josh has said that the white lines and the grey colour are fine, as it the flat design. This is the closest we have to the required page: https://inkscape.org/en/about/trademark-policy/ Maybe we can add to it at the top with the icon/graphics package and the rules?

New Donate Link Graphics
by Martin Owens 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Dear all, Thanks to Golden Ribbon (inkscape user and maker of recently good tutorials) he's provided to us some graphics for encouraging more donations through affiliate links. They look really nice too. I've just finished adding them to the English page on the website. If you go to https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/donate/ you will see the new images and the copy-paste html if you want to add a link to your own website to support inkscape. Golden Ribbon is also interested in making t-shirts and other mechanise; we don't yet have anyone (I know of) who is skilled or interested in looking into merchandise, but maybe if we had some nice designs someone would step forwards to add this feature. What are your thoughts? Best Regards, Martin Owens

Inkscape, Pango, Language Tags and Marshallese
by Jeremy Tan 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Hello all. It is well-known that Inkscape uses Pango for text rendering. What I have found is that it doesn't yet support language tags for locale-specific rendering of glyphs. The context for this is a font I'm now developing that has separate glyphs for the Marshallese language <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshallese_language>. It has five problematic letters – L, M, N, O with cedilla and N with macron; in particular M-cedilla, O-cedilla and N-macron aren't even in Unicode yet and while the other two characters are in, they usually display commas for Latvian, which is considered unacceptable for Marshallese. My font has the proper glyphs. SVG is a kind of XML and so the xml:lang attribute can be used to set the language of a certain piece of text. For example, if you wanted to say that some text is Polish you would put xml:lang="pl" as an attribute of the text (not tspan) object that contains the Polish text. These are ISO 639 two-letter codes that are used here, so for Marshallese the letters mh would be used. To ensure that the proper glyphs are displayed for the language in question, OpenType has the localised forms feature, which substitutes one glyph for another if the text is in a particular language. For my case, my font substitutes the replacements used by the online Marshallese–English dictionary (see here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshallese_language#Display_issues> for the replacements) with the typographically correct glyphs. So far, so good. But then I concocted an SVG demo with two sets of the replacement characters, one of which had xml:lang="mh" so it would display correctly in Marshallese. It worked fine in my browser, but the language tag was ignored when I opened it in Inkscape (see the attachment). I am not in a hurry over this, but I would appreciate it if someone could add support for the as-yet-unsupported OpenType features to Inkscape. Pango itself is perfectly capable of handling these features, so I'm suspecting it won't be hard. Parcly Taxel, Princess of Science

How does font size work?
by Tobias Ellinghaus 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

Hi, in IRC there was a discussion about the font size setting and I have to admit that I don't understand it. The tooltip says the value is in pt, which (according to the CSS specs) is 1/72th of an inch. Inkscape now uses a DPI of 96 to convert to/from pixels. When I type some text in 72 pt and then select the object the control bar tells me it's size was 6.72 mm, which would be 0.264566929134 inch [0] and that is 25.4 pixel [1], which is what I can see in the XML being stored. The part I don't understand is how that value relates to the initial 72 pt? And is it a coincidence that the final result of 25.4 is the conversion factor inch/mm? Some clarification or links to documentation would be appreciated. Tobias PS: Would it be possible to fix the font size box to show "nice" values and not some rounded numbers? Maybe just storing the pt value typed by the user along the converted px value and showing that? Or doing it the right way and putting the pt verbatim into the SVG as it used to be done? Currently it's really hard to do any serious work that involves text. [0] 6.72 / 25.4 = 0.264566929134 [1] 0.264566929134 * 96 = 25,3984251969 ~ 25.4

I was attempting to correct a minor logic error that was causing LP Bug 1545632 see : https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1545632/comments/2 - so I did a bzr pull on lib2geom in order to synch. - I got an error message saying the branches had diverged and I could not pull - so I did a 'bzr pull lp:lib2geom --overwrite' - this 'worked' but now the version-info is wrong: C:\Users\Alvin\AppData\Roaming\lib2geom>bzr version-info revision-id: git-v1:8c1148600de95edb26f6d6fd45c849a62ed77b88 date: 2016-02-10 23:24:32 -0800 build-date: 2016-02-18 07:37:01 -0500 revno: 2499 branch-nick: lib2geom According to : https://code.launchpad.net/~lib2geom-hackers/lib2geom/trunk the correct version number is 2483 on Feb 5, not 2499 on Feb 10. - also the committer is git, not sure why So now I am reluctant to proceed any farther because I do not know which version is correct, I will make the appropriate change in Inkscape trunk instead. confused, Alvin -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/unable-to-commit-to-lib2geom-or-maybe-just… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Web Chat Review
by Martin Owens 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Dear Users and Developers, I've put together an integrated tutorial for the irc chat on inkscape.org and I'd like a few users and support contributors to give it a review: https://inkscape.org/en/*users/chat/ You should see a few things are different now: * You must be logged in to use the chat, previously you could be anonymous. You even must have an email configured, so facebook and twitter logins must update their user profile before chatting. * There is the above guide which add the can_irc permission to a user's account. Confirming they've seen every page (I shorted it to 4 pages). * There's a new IRC bot that offers these new commands: - webbot: whois [username] ; will tell you who a user is and a link to their website profile, in case someone joins the chat asks a question and then leaves without waiting. - webbot: tell [username] [msg] ; will send an alert to the user with a possible response. The default for website message alerts is to email them too. So you can respond to someone who just left. - Get Latest Art ; a bit of fun to return the latest item in the Artwork category on the live site. Returns the link. - If you want further integrations between irc and the website, this is now possible. (maybe good for meetings in the future) I'm hoping these tools will allow users to feel comfortable chatting with us and also provision support contributors with what they need when in chat. The exact text of the above tutorial is up for review here. Please let me know your suggestions by email on list. Thanks everyone! Best Regards, Martin Owens

updated to rev 14658, problem in the make

Hi, On a Ubuntu box just did: bzr update make it ran through configure (with no obvious problems) and began compiling but failed with: make[3]: *** No rule to make target `2geom/viewbox.cpp', needed by `2geom/viewbox.o'. Stop. The file 2geom/viewbox.o is still there from the last build a month ago. There is no viewbox.cpp in the 2geom directory. Just me? How to unjam this? I think it was at 14619 before the update, and it built with no issues. Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Feedback needed: Fallback for 'arc's line join.
by Tavmjong Bah 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Hi, The currently specified fallback for the 'arcs' line join is a 'miter' join. It has be noted that this is not a very good fallback. I've implemented three different alternative fallback strategies in trunk as part of the 'Join Type' LPE in trunk. The SVG WG has agreed to change the fallback to one of these depending on user input. Here is your chance to help influence the SVG 2 specification! For a quick introduction, see: http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/LINEJOIN_STUDY/#arcs To test: 1. Create a path with a number of corner nodes. 2. Open the LPE dialog (Path->Path Effects, CTRL-SHIFT-7) 3. Click on the '+' button, select 'Join Type', and click the 'Add' button. 4. Increase the 'Line width' to some number (~20 to ~100) 5. Select the various "Extrapolated arc" 'Join' types. 6. Move the handles around and observe the line join shape. Note: There are a number of bugs, for example, setting the Miter limit doesn't always work. Also, if the radius of curvature of the path is very small you might get strange artifacts. For this exercise, please ignore these. Thanks, Tav

Create releases more regularly
by Sebastian Zartner 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Hi there, I initially asked at inkscapeforum.com<http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=15755&p=63224>and was told to better post my request to this mailing list. I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to create releases more regularly. Currently there are many months or even years between each release of Inkscape. Bug fixes should get out more quickly and it should be possible to try out new features of upcoming versions. Most users don't have the possibility to build Inkscape by their own, so they have to wait for the next release. Unfortunately the provided development downloads are not synchronized, hosted on different third-party web sites and out of date (currently especially the Windows version). So I suggest to create a (more or less) fixed fast release cycle for normal releases (e.g. every two or three months) and periodically (e.g. every one or two weeks) create alpha versions. Alpha versions should be built (maybe even automatically) for all supported OSes and hosted directly on inkscape.org. Sebastian

Scribus 1.5.1 released
by "Christoph Schäfer" 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

The Scribus Team is very pleased to announce the release of the development version Scribus 1.5.1, which is another major step onto the next fully-featured version 1.6.0. In terms of stability, 1.5.1 can be already be regarded as robust. The Scribus Team encourages the wide-spread use and testing of version 1.5.1 in as many environments as possible. User feedback will help us to release a rock-solid version 1.6.0. Most Important Changes ====================== An instantly visible improvement is a new and modern icon set, which almost exclusively uses grayscale variants. Scribus 1.5.1 also provides some exciting new features, the most important of which are: * Support for the CIE L*a*b* and CIE HLC color models, which are also available in the color editor; * Support for SwatchBooker's SBZ file format, which means, among others, that all color palettes from the Open Colour Systems Collection (http://dtpstudio.de/downloads/OCSC_1_0.zip) can be used inside Scribus with their original colour model (CIE L*a*b*) intact. Moreover, Scribus 1.5.1 can now use Adobe Color Book files (ACO), as well as Adobe Swatch Exchange files (ASE). * The import filter for XPress Tags is finally working as expected (some minor glitches notwithstanding) and has been tested with XTG files from XPress 3 to 2015; * Two oft-requested text import filters have finally made their way into Scribus, namely RTF and DOCX; * Scribus 1.5.1 enables applying a background color for selected text and also offers this option for character and paragraph styles; * The ODT importer has been rewritten from scratch and now not only supports more ODT features, but is also much more tolerant with ODT files written by programs other than LibreOffice or OpenOffice. * An experimental version of an import filter for FreeHand files has been added; * PDF import has been massively improved; * The font embedding code, as well as the related user interface, has been completely rewritten; * The Resource Manager for online resources provides a new option to show the licence for the respective resource before downloading. * As of version 1.5.1, Scribus includes two new color palettes, namely CIE LAB and CIE HLC. They are the first palettes in Scribus to use CIE L*a*b* color values, and they refer to affordable color fans that use an open and non-proprietary color model. We plan to use CIE L*a*b* for all of our palettes (where possible) in the future. In addition, Scribus 1.5.1 includes many bugfixes, most of which are related to newly introduced features in 1.5.0. The Scribus Team also subjected version 1.5.1svn to a Coverity scan to detect potential security and stability issues. Many of these have already been addressed in this release. An overview is available here: http://bugs.scribus.net/view_all_set.php?type=1&temporary=y&project_id=1&fi… (reported bugs and feature requests) and here: http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus-commit/ (actual changes, including unreported bugs). Caveats ======= * Please note that the online help system hasn't been completely updated yet, and it probably be won't be until the final release of Scribus 1.6.0. * Some newly introduced features since 1.5.0, like footnotes, are "program-stable", i.e., they won't crash Scribus 1.5.1, but not "feature-stable", which means they may sometimes not work as expected for the time being. Primary Download Locations ========================== * Installation packages for Windows, Mac OS X and the source code are available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.5.1/ * Fedora and CentOS RPMs: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mrdocs * OpenSUSE, SLED, and SLES RPMs: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mrdocs * Packaging for other Linux distributions, *BSD, Solaris and OpenIndiana is beyond our influence.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape-devel Digest, Vol 117, Issue 19
by jean.weinster 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hi, I'm using inkscape on making figures for submission. It's a amazing software. Jus one point I'm wondering. I'm using Origin8.5 for making scientific graphing and succeeded in inserting graph into inkscape layout by "Copy page" option of Origin. Previously I used powerpoint to do this but it turns out ppt file can not fulfill the resolution requirement of publication(> 300dpi). One of convenience of powerpoint is, I can re-edit scientific graphs on slide via Origin again by double clicking on graph. But in inkscape, once I pasted graph into layout, I can not do this by orgin. I have to go back to Orgin to edit original graph and paste it again into inkscape layout. So my question is, is it possible to do re-editing thing in inkscape powerpoint? Thanks!

In my view, moving to Gitlab would avoid that risk. Gitlabs core feature set is free software. If Gitlab also turns into sourceforge, Inkskape can set up its own Gitlab instance, at least in principle.

These are checked by the server, compare the windows download to the source package: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/3860/ There are four levels: no signature, an md5 hash, a gpg signature against your own public key and a gpg signature and you being in the "packagers" team. Thanks for testing everyone. Martin,

Meassure improvements, Speed and Phantom mode
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 07 Feb '16

Hi to all. A just commit a new feature in meassure tool, allowing compare two measures, creating greyed version of current meassure in a temporary way. Based in a comment on original code I could improve the response of the tool. Also want to make numeric inputs for start and end point, thinking add it as a modifier for the knots instead puting them on the toolbar. Here a video: http://jabiertxof.marker.es/2016/02/meassure-tool-phantom -and-speed.html Cheers, Jabier.

Impressions on Inkscape after extended usage
by Michael Grosberg 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Hello, In the past several months - closer to a year, actually - I've used Inkscape in a tight production environment almost daily. I have produced hundreds of illustrations for a computer-based technical course. During that period I used Inkscape 0.48.5 and lately switched to test builds and release candidates of 0.91. All of this time I have kept a list of the problems I ran into using Inkscape. Some are plain bugs, some are more complex problems for which I have no idea for a solution. After testing the new version to see whether some of these problems have gone away, I thought I might share this document with you. Before I go on, I just like to say that these are mostly minor points. I am an avid user and promoter of Inkscape even though my workplace has provided me with a legal copy of Adobe Illustrator, which I think is inferior in ease of use. I think Inkscape on the whole is a brilliant piece of software and I'm thankful for all your efforts. But some problem just kept popping up again and again. So without further ado, here's the document (it's a google doc): http://bit.ly/1yLzn0y Thank you for any comment or feedback you might have. - Michael Grosberg

Dear developers, The file Inkscape-0.91-1.exe has been reported by Andrey Krylov to contain Win.Trojan.Ramnit-8177 This concerns this resource file: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/3944/ If someone using windows (and theadib) can check the file using anti-malware scanner so we can make sure it's clean.

Website Update: OK
by Martin Owens 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Dear developers, The website is pretty much back to speed. Some help from OSUOSL was vital in understanding so a big thanks to them. What went wrong was a couple of points. The first was the mo file issue where django was trying to open files from the disk hundreds of times per request (and failing). Provisioning it with the files stopped that. Then there was the caching. I installed memcached on the server and enabled it's use. This cut down on the amount of memory because wsgi processes are able to share the same cache and reduced mysql load because we didn't have to cache things there any more. I put the number of parallel requests back up to 4, since 2 doesn't really help with all requests and created some backlog. Please continue to test. You will notice gallery pages, user pages are slower than cms pages and this is mostly because those apps don't use cache (something to look into for the next version). Sorry for the disruption.

Win32 devlibs update and Windows XP support
by Nicolas Dufour 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Hi all, Work on a new win32 devlibs branch is currently in progress (see https://code.launchpad.net/~jazzynico/inkscape-devlibs/trunk). It's goal is to replace our old devlibs with the most recent ones, compiled with TDM-GCC-5.1. It's almost done, but there are some issues that will affect our win32 devlibs in a near future: * Harfbuzz can't compile on Windows XP (but runs fine). Vista or 7 can be used instead (I'm going to test with a virtualboxed 7). Of course, Harfbuzz is required by lots of other libs (pango, rsvg, imagemagick, gtk...). * Glib doesn't compile on Windows XP and 7, due to recent changes in Glib-2.43. So we're stuck with 2.42.2. Side effect, we can't compile the latest glibmm and atkmm libs (and maybe others, I haven't try Gtk and Gtkmm yet...). I don't know if it's directly related, but there's an old thread in the gnome mailing list that question Windows XP support (see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2014-December/msg00055.html). Note that Gnome no longer provides binaries for XP on their download page (http://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php). So be aware that maintaining Windows XP (and even win32) versions is going to be harder and harder... I'm going work on the branch until it's done (or blocked), but I'm seriously considering switching to my old cross-compiled branch, which was far easier to maintain. Regards, -- Nicolas

Nightly builds, download points???
by mathog 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hi all, Is there a nightly (or even weekly) build for Windows 32 and 64, and if so, is there a download link for it? In bug 1480651 we have an end user who has a problem with the way a particular piece of software that neither Alvin nor I own interacts with Inkscape, and it would help if we could get him a copy of a current trunk binary.

Inkscape and AppData
by Richard Hughes 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hi all, I would like Inkscape to start shipping an AppData file for the GNOME and KDE software centers. At the moment it's invisible to AppStream-enabled software managers as there is no metadata file to read. I've uploaded a file here http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/temp/inkscape.appdata.xml which needs to be committed and then installed into the $prefix/share/appdata directory at install time; there's no need to conditionalize this as it's just ignored by any distro without an app installer. If you want to mark it translatable that would be great too, although I'm not familiar with what tools inkscape uses (intltool?) and I'm 100% okay if you want to change the description or add/change any extra screenshots. I'd like to make Inkscape a featured application in GNOME Software for 3.20 and an upstream AppData file is a prerequisite to that. I first wrote a mail to this mailing list in 2013 when we started the AppStream project, but since that time over 1200 other applications have started shipping metadata files for the software center. This very much makes Inkscape the odd-one-out now, and now we're building nightly snapshots of inkscape as part of the xdg-app nightly repo we can't even include an additional file in the srpm like so many distros are doing. I think the time has come to move it upstream :) There's more details about AppData here http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ but I'm happy to answer questions or comments here too. Thanks! Richard

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2016 - Call for mentors & help with ideas page
by Josh Andler 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hey all, As you all know, we were not accepted as a mentoring organization for GSoC 2015. Part of the reason for this is that they have been getting more mentoring org submissions each year and really started to get tighter with enforcing existing guidelines that they had. Essentially, our ideas page was the big problem as we didn't follow their guidelines at http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/making-your-ideas-page/ They specifically said "Each idea should have potential mentors, difficulty level, expected skills, etc. and none of those are listed on your ideas page." For people's reference the ideas section of our GSoC page is at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code#Suggested_Ide… The application period is still a about a month out, but one of the things we do need to get on sooner rather than later is getting people to volunteer to mentor so we can get the ideas section right by the time we actually apply. We also need to gauge how many interested devs we might have for mentoring this year so if you're interested, please reply saying so. I think we might want to entertain having a separate "dormant ideas" page where we have a pool of all the ideas possible. We then only move them to the active ideas section that currently exists when they have mentor, difficulty, and necessary skills assigned. Cheers, Josh

01 Feb '16

Hi, We are planning an Inkscape hackfest[1] in Leeds just before the Libre Graphics Meeting[2] in London. To help plan this event we need to have an idea of how many people would attend. Please reply here or send a private email to me if you are interested. As with last years hackfest[3], travel support will be offered to developers and others active in the Inkscape project ($500-$2000). Dates: Hackfest: 11-13 April 2016 (tentative) LGM: 15-18 April 2016 Tav [1] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2016 [2] http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/ [3] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2015

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-docs] Inkscape Hackfest: Who will attend?

Hi Maren, Thanks for the info. Oh, I didn't know about the change in plans for HF (since I'm not subbed to the Board list, of course). I'll hold off on making new posts, until there is some new/confirmed info. And may as well wait on new news item too. If there now may be a charge for a new venue, maybe donation button would be more needed? Or maybe that will not be very significant? I'm just not very knowledgeable about that kind of things. Even though donations may not be "needed" at the moment, HF still might represent a good opportunity to pick up donations for a time in the future when donations are more scarce. Or maybe more donations would simply allow more people to attend? If I recall the old donation page, money went into the Fund, so maybe could be used for other things, as well. Bryce and/or others - What do you think about a Donations page for Hackfest, this year? > The old hackfest page has been unpublished, and kept for this kind of > purpose.

Website Upgrade Status: Springtime
by Martin Owens 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

Dear Developers, board and lurking users, The live website has just been transitioned. Maren and I have been testing and fixing the next version of the site over on staging for the past two weeks; so I firstly want to offer my profound thanks to Maren for the timely help with bug reports to clean up many rough edges. With the testing, this doesn't mean we have clean up everything, so don't worry if you see something odd or an error. Report odd things to me or the inkscape-web bug tracker, errors get emailed to me directly so don't worry too much about them. Now onto features. * The gallery app has had a lot of work done on it. Some things got patched into live before, but the vast majority of improvements are now there. Mainly the index page that allows one to browse: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/ * There is an alerts system now. You can subscribe to pages so you can get an email when they're edited, to users so you get a message when they upload new art and you may also get a message if someone clicks the send message link in your profile. Allows other users to message people without email addresses being exposed. * The teams app has been massively improved, although not completed as the end goal is mailing list integration. You can see the three public teams here: https://inkscape.org/en/teams/ * There is a new releases app which replaces the cms downloads pages. It's being filled in slowly, if you can help write up and link up all the downloads, please get in touch. You can see the start of the data here: https://inkscape.org/en/release/ And there's many many bugs fixed since last year. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Notification popup on inapplicable command
by Daniel Beardsmore 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

One aspect of Inkscape that is confusing is that it is possible to issue commands that have no effect because they are inapplicable, e.g. requesting to unlink a clone, on an object that is not a clone. Where such inapplicable commands are given with the keyboard, there is no notification that the command did nothing, and when no visual change would have occurred even when it did succeed, the results can be especially confusing. Ideally, all menu items and toolbar buttons would be dynamic, i.e. disabled when inapplicable, but I'm thinking that it would also make sense to show a floating notification bar that notifies the user that the command failed because it did not apply, e.g. "Object is not a clone". ---------------------------------------------- This e-mail was sent from my Desktop Computer®

Differences in union result between commandline and the GUI?
by eric schleicher 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hello. getting familiarized with using inkscape from the commandline in preparation for developing some automation and connectors in nodejs. Running some simple examples, I noticed that there seem to be some differences between the output created by the commandline and what the UI create (on the exact same input assets). I've attached a photo here noting the most obvious differences I've observed I'm wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on the why i might be seeing these differences and whether there is a way to address them do that the output from the commandline is faithful to the both the original and the version created by the union operation in the UI. The path union operation from the UI is flawless, but not so from the command line so this was a very unexpected result. Are these types of deviations common, or perhaps is this something that can be addressed with different settings/arguments. for reference, where command used: ./inkscape --file 'c:\users\user\dog.svg' --select 'top' --verb 'SelectionUnion' --export-plain-svg='c:\users\user\dog-plain.svg' Run from a poweshell session on windows 8.1 with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (Jan 30 2015) The original (path, not text) [image: Inline image 2] A Comparison of the two Otherwise this seems to be a bug. Interested to learn more, Eric

by Tom Lechner 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, Is there currently in Inkscape a way to specify exact fonts, like specific font files? If I understand right, would this mean support of "user fonts" as specified by CSS3 Fonts? I've been working on using color fonts made from font layers (where each color layer is a different font file), but the layer fonts I can find all specify family names and styles in such a way that it seems impossible to specify them in Inkscape. Is there any planned native support for color fonts, either manually layered, or opentype svg/colr/cpal color fonts? -Tom ---- laidout.org tomlechner.com

Inkscape 0.92 and Converting Inkscape to CMake
by Bryce Harrington 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

CMake is a key goal for the Inkscape 0.92 release. We're close, but some important work still remains. Are you familiar with CMake? It's important not only that we convert the codebase, but that we also install our developers (i.e. YOU!!) with adequate cmake know-how to be able to update stuff as needs arise. Is CMake something you've not yet learned? I've written up a little Inkscape-specific tutorial / class to give you the basics. Please put it on your near-term todo list: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_CMake Once you're ready to tackle some cmake work, please take a look at my write-up of cmake tasks that I think we need to get done: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CMake_Tasks I've organized that page by tasks that I feel we need to get done for 0.92, versus ones that have to be done post-0.92 (since they'd break the autoconf stuff), and minor tasks that can be safely done whenever. Thanks for lending a hand to helping with the CMake work. My dream is that by achieving this conversion, we'll be able to unify a lot of our platform-specific packaging. Effort that currently is divided between linux, osx, and win32, will be able to be merged so we can better collaborate with packaging generally. Bryce

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Quality of gradients.

The EMF export function supports simple gradients as descriptions (high & low color values, scale and direction of linear gradient) and so are not quality limited in this manner. Perhaps in some instances you could export to EMF and then render from that in another application which doesn't have the 8bit limit? Unfortunately there is no exact support for radial gradients in the EMF or EMF+ standards. Currently Inkscape emulates such gradients in EMF files with many small single colored elliptical slices. The best one could do with EMF would be to use the peculiar "triangle" gradient mode (Google "GRADIENT_FILL_TRIANGLE") to emulate a radial gradient. Then instead of rings it would be a lot of small wedges, each with its own part of the gradient. At the moment there is no code in Inkscape to do this. (EMF+, which is not yet supported at all in inkscape but is coded into libUEMF, has something called a "Path Gradient Brush" which is essentially a bunch of these triangle gradients merged, so that instead of specifying a lot of triangles, one specifies a center point and a path.) Going this route would be a one way trip, since the code for working back from multiple triangle gradients to a radial one would need to be pretty clever to look for and detect this sort of clustering and arrangement of gradients, especially since those EMF records need not be consecutive in the file. (Going from EMF+'s Path Gradient Brush to an SVG radial gradient would be easier because it would not have the multiple record problem.) Also an awful lot of these triangles might be needed to get a smooth looking radial gradient, that is, one that doesn't look like a set of nested polygons resulting from "contour lines" of constant colors. Perhaps slightly varying the angle in each slice would hide that effect a bit? Anyway, for future reference: EMF Triangle gradient (look about 1/3 down from the top) http://www.flounder.com/gradientfiller.htm EMF+ Path Gradient Brush http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20018/Gradients-made-easy Regards, David Mathog mathog@...1176...

Licensing issues with Scour (aka 'Optimized SVG' output)
by Eduard Braun 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi all, I'm posting here today hoping that we can finally resolve some licensing issues which recently emerged regarding the Scour extension for Inkscape (also know as 'Optimized SVG' output). I'll try to summarize the issue as good as possible so everybody is up to speed: * Right now we bundle an old version of Scour that is dual-licensed with Apache 2.0 license and GPLv2+. This dual licensing was only introduced in a very recent commit [1] when the original author Jeff Schiller agreed to re-license his code under the terms of GPLv2+ after license issues in Inkscape were brought up in a previous discussion [2]. However at this point there were multiple contributions to the Scour codebase by other authors who did not accept to re-license their contributions. This is why the re-licensing is likely to be void and the the current maintainer of Scour (Tobias Oberstein) decided not to apply the dual-licensing when switching over to GitHub with the project [3]. * I recently updated the Scour extension for Inkscape and want to merge these changes [4]. Obviously I followed Tobias Obersteins decision not to apply the dual-licensing, so the new version only has the Apache 2.0 License. * The open question now is: Can we bundle the Scour code with Inkscape and how to we do it? In my opinion this should not be a problem since Scour is an external module that is *indepentent* from Inkscape, e.g. license incompatibilities do not play a role here which is also the opinion of Tobias Oberstein (see [5] for details and references). Also most project members seem to agree (see comments in the merge request [4]) However If we don't want to follow this reasoning we have to decide on alternatives (especially since the code currently in trunk might well have an invalid license). I hope we can once and for all resolve this issue! Best Regards, Eduard [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~scouring/scour/trunk/revision/222 [2] https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/32342425/ [3] https://github.com/codedread/scour [4] https://code.launchpad.net/~eduard-braun2/inkscape/scour/+merge/278387 [5] https://github.com/codedread/scour/issues/7

Inkscape is legally backed by the Software Freedom Conservancy, but SFC needs your help
by Dave Crossland 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi Software Freedom Conservancy is the legal backer of Inkscape, but it is at risk of shutting down :( You can help make it sustainable by joining as a member for $120/year - just 14 people are needed! :) SFC is a not-for-profit charity that helps promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. Conservancy provides a non-profit home and infrastructure for FLOSS projects. This allows FLOSS developers to focus on what they do best — writing and improving FLOSS for the general public — while Conservancy takes care of the projects' needs that do not relate directly to software development and documentation. http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/ lists the projects that they support, and the following are relevant to libre graphics: - Inkscape - Git - BOOST - a programming framework used in Inkscape - SWIG - another programming framework used in Inkscape, that enables Python scripting - K-3D - 3d modeling app - Outreachy - helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved Just 14 more people needed to meet their membership goal this month, since those who sign up by January 31 count twice, thanks to Private Internet Access. Please consider joining as a member :) -- Cheers Dave

30 second video for the Inkscape project: New features & work from the past year
by C R 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Okay, so there was not enough interest in doing the interview montage, so I'm back-burnering that one. :) So instead, let's show them what's new in Inkscape! I am doing a brief video commercial for the Inkscape project with updates from the last year. So what are you favourite Inkscape features/progress. This will replace the "two slides" at LGM, with something much more swish and polished to show off the hard work that's been done in Inkscape over the last year (starting from or around April last year). What I need: A list of your favourite new features in Inkscape (developed in the last year, or that will be finished and/or working by the date of LGM in April). I will combine them with mine and submit a video (after showing to everyone on this mailing list and #gimp to make sure we have all the facts right. Cheers. -C

Path Count Restriction in Division, Cut and Difference
by Martin Owens 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

I've committed a change to splivarot.cpp to remove the restriction which stopped our difference/cut/division functions from working on multiple paths. I was reading the forum post at http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20762 and it didn't seem to make much sense, so I did a few tests which I've posted here: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/7216/ You can see we do the most sensible things already and the new functionality enabled by the commit doesn't seem to make a /lot/ of sense as far as I can see, but then I'd like to not artificially restrict the function because someone might find it interesting. The other hand is that there might be a more common sense way of doing the functions. Maybe by making a union first, or some other thing. But we'd first have to see examples on what users think they'll get when they run these operations on their multiple paths. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [LGM] Fwd: LGM 2016: Call for Participation
by C R 03 Jan '16

03 Jan '16

I'm working on some proposals for talks this weekend. These are things I can talk about as a graphic designer who works with opensource software as a primary toolset. Inkscape will be featured in several of these talks, but I also desire to help the Inkscape Project with any materials and ideas for talks. What I'd like is to have (for the Inkscape Project) is a series of short videos where our current contributors to the project talk about what motivates them to contribute to Libre software. I will then compile these into a video (5-10 minute) video about Inkscape to present at LGM. This is a way for some of us who can not make it to London to talk about their role in Inkscape as a developer and/or professional user. To make it easy for the camera-shy among us, I'd suggest we do it in a format that resembles this mini commercial I did recently for a small Italian Restaurant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmPQ8FjRqr8 Something to notice is that the question comes up as text in the video rather than having a presenter ask questions, which makes it easy to ask and answer the questions as a regular conversation, rather than just an interview. Notice at no time did Carlo (who is tremendously camera-shy) have to look at the camera. He was always looking at me (off camera), and just answering my questions while ignoring the camera entirely. In this way I'm able to mix in relevant graphics, and cover mistakes or pauses to produce a professional quality edit with key points of interest. I will provide all editing, compositing, music, captioning (in the case where translation is needed). All materials will be provided in open formats as well for your tinkering pleasure. Any interest in this idea? -C On Sun, Jan 3, 2016 at 10:26 AM, Femke Snelting <snelting@...2319...> wrote: > All the best for 2016! > > ... and don't forget to submits your proposal for the upcoming LGM in > London! > > Deadline: *Sunday January 10th* > > > -------- Forwarded Message -------- > Subject: LGM 2016: Call for Participation > Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 15:46:29 +0100 > From: Femke Snelting <snelting@...2319...> > To: libre-graphics-meeting@...626... > > *Libre Graphics Meeting 2016: Other Dimensions* > > http://libregraphicsmeeting.org > > > The eleventh annual international Libre Graphics Meeting 2016 will take > place Friday 15th until Monday 18th April 2016 in London, UK.

Extension to export objects or layers to individual files: looking for testers/feedback
by su_v 03 Jan '16

03 Jan '16

Motivated by a request here on the mailing list wrt support for preparing animation frames from within Inkscape based on paths generated with Inkscape's 'Interpolate' extension, I began working on an extension to export a group of paths, or a selection of objects, to individual SVG files in November last year. Recent testing and feedback by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz (thanks a lot!) introduced more features: export of layers or sublayers to individual files, additional export file formats (PNG, GIF) and optional creation of an animated GIF image of all exported objects (for bitmap-based export formats only). It also introduced a dependency on 'convert' from ImageMagick for the additional file formats. A snapshot of the current state of the extension can be downloaded for testing from the report in the bug tracker: * Bug #1530380 “Extension to export objects to separate files for ...” https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1530380 Some known issues and limitations are mentioned in the report description (and later comments) - any further feedback would be appreciated (I'm sorry for the lack of documentation / tutorial at this stage).

Colour Mixing
by Martin Owens 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Dear Ink-devels, My friend has just complained that Inkscape doesn't have colour mixing. He's the first person to mention this functionality to me and I believe from his description the idea is that the colours can be mixed off canvas, where two color stops are selected and then a slider can move between the two. Has anyone ever heard of this? Best Regards, Martin Owens

Questions about EllipticalArc, BezierCurve, and Path
by Papoj Thamjaroenporn 24 Dec '15

24 Dec '15

Dear Inkscape-devel, I would like to convert a path that internally stores EllipticalArcs into a path with a bunch of BezierCurves. Is there a method that already does this? One way I think can be used is to convert path to pwd2, and convert back again to pathVector using path_from_piecewise() because internally it only uses Bezier curves, but I am wondering if there is a more direct way to do this. If I have a PathVector structure, and I know all Paths inside are connected to each other, is there an easy way to convert such PathVector into Path? Thank you.

Jenkins administration
by Johan Engelen 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hi all, Jenkins, our CI system, has been down for more than a month. It looks like the disk has filled up, and we need to do clean up / the build tasks should clean up after themselves better (I suspect it has to do with storing the results of too many older builds instead of just the current one plus a few recent builds). We need an administrator for Jenkins. Currently, I think only me and Bryce have access, which is not good enough. Who is interested in maintaining the automatic build/testing system? Of course, you can tailor the system to your own likes; there is much to be improved and I think all are open to whatever crazy plans you may have :-) http://jenkins.inkscape.org/ regards, Johan

Different sizes when cut and paste between Inkscape Trunk or Stable and FontForge
by Ivan Louette 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

Hello, Because of hardware problems with my main PC tower I went to my laptop where Inkscape 0.91 stable was installed while I mainly use Trunk usually. I noticed a difference in size in cut and paste from FontForge (the version 2 from Ubuntu 14.04 repositories) between Trunk and Stable 0.91. And I don't know if this is due to changes in units in Inkscape, and intentional or not. Thus I hesitate to fill a bug. However I will fill it if necessary. I ask me also if some settings I changed in my Trunk could cause this change. - if I cut a glyph in FF and paste it in Inkscape Trunk, its size in Inkscape is equivalent to this glyph typed at 750 pts - if I do the same to Inkscape Stable it's equivalent to the same at 800 pts ivan

How to properly fix bug and commit to Inkscape trunk
by Papoj Thamjaroenporn 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

Dear Inkscape-devel, I would like to fix a simple bug I found in src/helper/geom.cpp::pathv_to_cubicbezier(). The control points are not set correctly: Geom::CubicBezier b(cit->initialPoint(), cit->pointAt(0.3334) + Geom::Point(cubicGap,cubicGap), cit->finalPoint(), cit->finalPoint()); where it should have been: Geom::CubicBezier b(cit->initialPoint(), cit->pointAt(0.3333) + Geom::Point(cubicGap,cubicGap), cit->pointAt(0.6667) + Geom::Point(cubicGap,cubicGap), cit->finalPoint()); or more precisely: Geom::CubicBezier b(cit->initialPoint(), cit->pointAt(1./3.) + Geom::Point(cubicGap,cubicGap), cit->pointAt(2./3.) + Geom::Point(cubicGap,cubicGap), cit->finalPoint()); (The Geom::Point(cubicGap,cubicGap) shouldn’t really be there, but that’s a separate issue I described in another email.) I am not sure how to properly submit this. Do I follow the practice for bzr here <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Bazaar#Test_branches_b…> and simply merge my fix (without a need for someone to review)?

Why does Inkscape automatically convert Cubic Bezier straight line to Line Segment?
by Papoj Thamjaroenporn 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

Dear Inkscape-devel, I am not sure if this is a design decision, but when I draw a cubic Bezier straight line on canvas, it would always get converted to a linear segment (no tangent node handles) automatically. This seems to happen in other scenarios (specifically in LPE) as well. This causes a little bit of an issue when I work on an LPE that requires having cubic bezier output, even for straight line, to maintain C1 smoothness across path segments. However, this automatic conversion will break my curve continuity, because I don’t have the tangent “node” to define for a linear segment that is connected to a cubic segment. In src/helper/geom, there is a method pathv_to_cubicbezier() that does this conversion, but it’s tricky: the tangent handles are somewhat “hacked” by adding small amount of offset to make the curve actually not perfectly linear. Although visually it maybe ok, but for scenarios that we care about precision, we may want strict linear segment to retain as-is, even though it’s in cubic form. Is there a way to turn this automatic conversion off? Regards, _______________________ Papoj "Hua" Thamjaroenporn papojt@...3117...

Connecting 2 paths smoothly in code
by Papoj Thamjaroenporn 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Dear Inkscape-devel, I have these two paths (Geom::Path, or two Piecewise<D2<SBasis>> if you want), and I would like to join them smoothly (C1, to be precise), in code. Is there an API provided to achieve this task? What I am trying to achieve is obvious to do using Node Tool by first “Join selected nodes" and then “Make selected nodes symmetric”, but I am not sure how to achieve this in code using Geom::Path easily because it doesn’t have a notion of “node” to manipulate. I can setInitial() or setFinal() or setPoint() manually, but since the feature in already there in the code, although in the parts I do not yet understand (PathManipulator), I figured I should ask. Thank you! Regards, _______________________ Papoj "Hua" Thamjaroenporn papojt@...3117...

Knots vs CtrlPoint
by Martin Owens 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Developers, I've just been scrutinising the code for guidelines, specifically the code that draws the little circle indicating the main co-ordinate of the guideline. What it looks like is back in 2009 the code src/display/sp-ctrlpoint code was a clone of the much older original code in src/display/sp-ctrlquadr which we've had since at least 2005. ctrlquadr draws a square using cairo, used by ui/tools/text-tool only ctrlpoint draws a circle using cairo, used by display/guideline only If we could replace these two instances with Knot objects, we should be able to remove this code completely? (11.8KB, 1150 lines) Are there any land minds you are aware of with this code? (somewhere it's being used without being able to find it?) For comparison, SPCtrlLine and SPCtrlCurve are used by pen-tool, mesh-tool, gradient-tool, text-tool and the measure-tool. So they're very well used in comparison. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Lib2Geom: no matching function for call to 'assert_degree'
by Papoj Thamjaroenporn 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Dear Inkscape-devel, I attempted to create a line segment using appendNew with 2 arguments (as suggested in the wiki <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingWith2GeomFAQ>): line1.appendNew<Geom::LineSegment>(p1.pointAt(0.), p2.pointAt(0.)); but I got the error message: ../../src/2geom/bezier-curve.h:218:7: error: no matching function for call to 'assert_degree' assert_degree<2>(this); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../../src/2geom/path.h:740:23: note: in instantiation of member function 'Geom::BezierCurveN<1>::BezierCurveN' requested here do_append(new CurveType(finalPoint(), a, b)); I am not sure why this would be a problem here. The following line creation would work without this error message: line1.start(p1.pointAt(0.)); line1.appendNew<Geom::LineSegment>(p2.pointAt(0.)); which puzzles me because this leads to a call of assert_degree() as well, although the degree check appears to be the expected 1 instead of 2. In fact, is the line segment creation mentioned in the wiki “valid”? It seems to internally call LineSegment(finalPoint(), a, b) which would be interpreted as a quadratic curve. Thank you.

Fwd: [Inkscape-user] LGM 2016: Call for Participation
by C R 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

I'm definitely submitting materials to this from my portfolio (including Inkscape materials). What I'm wondering is, do we have a talk planned for Inkscape? Do we have a booth/information to hand out? Do we want any of these things? I'm local to the London area, so I'm able to help set up anything we'd like to do. At the very least I think we can do: Video presentations w/animation Fliers/cards. In addition to creating these items, I'm willing to foot the bill for things like fliers if we don't have project funds available for it. I can also get volunteers from the local Linux Drinks meetup group that I run to come help. Thoughts? -C ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Femke Snelting <snelting@...2319...> Date: Thu, Dec 3, 2015 at 3:32 PM Subject: [Inkscape-user] LGM 2016: Call for Participation To: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net *Libre Graphics Meeting 2016: Other Dimensions* http://libregraphicsmeeting.org The eleventh annual international Libre Graphics Meeting 2016 will take place Friday 15th until Monday 18th April 2016 in London, UK. This yearly event is an occasion for teams and individual contributors/artists involved in Libre Graphics to work together, to share experiences and to hear about new ideas. By Libre Graphics we mean Free, Libre and Open Source tools for design, illustration, photography, typography, art, graphics, page layout, publishing, 3D modelling, digital making and manufacture, cartography, animation, video, interactive media, generative graphics and visual live-coding. The Libre Graphics Meeting is not just about software, but extends to standards, file formats and actual use of these in creative work. LGM has become the place in which they can discuss their projects, coordinate their efforts and, crucially, to meet in person. Participants in the LGM include developers, designers, academics and activists from around the world, who are all passionate about Free/ L ibre graphics software and technology. *State of the Libre Graphics Union* We begin each meeting with a joint session that brings together all things that have happened in our wide landscape over the last year. So, instead of slots in the schedule for general updates on each Libre Graphics software project, we invite every team present at LGM to submit two slides (maximum), with a short explanatory text that showcases the leaps forward that has been made over the past year. For first-time presenters and particular big or new topics/features in established projects, we encourage additional stand-alone submissions. *Special focus: Other Dimensions* In Toronto we celebrated the first decade of LGM, reflecting on the past and considering the future. For the 2016 edition of LGM we continue speculating and will expand Libre Graphics into Other Dimensions. We are looking for presentations and workshops that explore the dimensions of space and material: 3D modelling and animation, Libre architecture, Open Source product design and other fields of digital making and manufacture. We are also seeking contributions that offer reflections on the 'other dimensions' of open source communities and that engage with FLOSS tools in various contexts including but not limited to teaching, learning, practice and co-production. This represents a desire to address the future sustainability of the Libre Graphics movement, through a growth of the core projects and topics that will, we hope, allow us to welcome more and more FLOSS projects and participants to our community. We are looking for: * In-depth presentations of Libre Graphics code-contributions * Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools * New and experimental projects in this area to meet the wider community, including those in the field of 3D design and making * Reflections on the activities of existing open source communities in either the production of Free, Libre and Open Source tools or their use Available formats (times include Q&A): * Entry for State of the Libre Graphics Union (1-2 slides) * Presentations (20 minutes) * Workshops (1 or 2 hours)* * Birds Of a Feather (BOF), discussion meetings or Hackathons (2 hrs or more) * Lightning talk (7 minutes, selected at the event unconference style) *Practical Details* Submission deadline: 10 January 2016, content selection notification by end of January 2016. http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/call-for-participation/ http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/submit-proposal/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.

node sculpting behavior
by Brynn 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hi Friends, When I first started using Inkscape, which was version 0.44, node sculpting had a different behavior than it has now. I want to ask if it would it be possible to provide the previous behavior, as an option, perhaps using key modifier, or option on the control bar? I'll try to describe, with attached screenshot (sculpt2.png). You can see that dragging the right end node, with Alt key results in the nodes wider apart in the middle, and closer together on the ends (no matter whether I dragged from the right or left side, the result is the same). I'm not sure exactly in which version this changed. But previously, dragging the same right end node would result in nodes wider apart, the closer they are to the node being dragged. Since I can't show an example, imagine it's the same right end node, and it would behave much like a rubberband...or elastic string -- stretched more near where the force is applied, and less on the other end. And so the nodes would be progressively closer together, the further they were away from the node being dragged. One thing I used to like to do, was find an end node of a spirogram. Select all nodes except the other end, then Alt + drag the first end, and it would unravel the spirogram from one end to the other. One of the first images I ever made with Inkscape is also attached, the unravelled spirogram. You just can't do that anymore, with Inkscape, afaik. To be honest, I loved that old behavior and used it a lot. I haven't found many uses for the current behavior. I guess it can make a good bell curve. But I think both behaviors are useful. Would it be possible to provide this optionally? If so, I'd like to make that a feature request. (Unless it already is??) Thank you very much, brynn

The unit of stroke width in Inkscape UI, and 'px' unit
by Papoj Thamjaroenporn 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Dear inkscape-devel, Quick question: what is the unit of the stroke width in the Inkscape UI? I am talking about this seemingly unit-less number: When looking at StrokeStyle, it seems to match ‘px’ (SVG user unit). If this is indeed a 2 px width, shouldn’t we add the unit after the number like showing units after W, H, X, Y to make everything clearer in the UI?

Extended xml editor
by A Sedlak 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Does anyone know how to implement extended xml tag editor in inkscape? Before several years I wrote system for embroidery pattern generator from svg based on private xml tags, but simple XML editor included in inkscape makes it cumbersome. Some very basic functionality of this stitch generator can be seen at: https://youtu.be/VKle5ApsMnA Editor should have functionality very similar to interface of external scripts but before showing dialog, it should first collect actual data from svg by calling proper extension script method (eg .getparams() ) and prepare file similar to inkscape dialog definition file.inx with <param name= ... > and then dynamically generate dialog to allow user modify sewing parameters, after that call classical extension .effect() method to do changes in svg. I want to implement it but I'm totally lost in inkscape source code. I think that all functionality is already somewhere in inkscape but I need someone to show me the way. Tony

Lock guides branch
by Jabier Arraiza 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Hi to all. I just propose to merge the lock guides branch. ¿Any one want review it? https://code.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/lock_guides This allow to lock a guide in the guide dialog. This is part of a future work using gides. In my mind I want to link optionaly a guide to a item or maybe more than one. If this guide is linked, only show if the element/s is selected. Any one think is a bad idea because it add a extra level of complexity on guide usage to the benefits it have? Anyway is not a blocking thing to my proyect but it benefits a lot of it. If any one is interested in the secret proyect, is a LPE applied to groups, this lpe lock for the crossing guides and slice the content of the group into sliced subgroups. Cheers, Jabier.

Offset LPE
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi to all. This is a mail about the "new" LPE offset I made with the help of the previous work of Liam P. White. in Join Type LPE and the Krzysztof Kosiński on new boolops code. The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfzvXD9jrAk This code is slow than previous (non lpe) with Livarot, I try to improve it but is slower. By the other side it bring to the user the ability to use non rounded join types on increment offseting. Any way I couldent full remove Livarot from the code want, is using to hadle nonzero fills and for simplify the paths. Not sure about the LPE, I spend a lot of effort improving it, but i couldent get it like Livarot one and think is a blocking problem to substitute SPOffset code like Mc- want, but maybe can be a first step to other dev... Another way can redone or mix it with Libarot but maybe is a back step. But if is not a problem, and while getting better result, we can do a LPE to offset like SPOffet do, allowing to remove SPOffset from the code. Also I hope could make join types diferent than rounded except extrapolated arc :(. Cheers, Jabier.

Artivity patch for Inkscape
by Sebastian Faubel 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello everybody, a few months ago I contacted you the project we're currently doing with the University of the Arts, London. Our 'Artivity' project aims to produce an open source activity tracking platform similar to Zeitgeist. However, we do not only capture high level events such as 'created file' or 'visited website' but also store provenance data about how a document was created and which resources were used in the process. We don't have an official website yet, but if you're interested: here's our repository [0] and a recent article about the current state of the art [1]. The project is still in a rather early stage, but the platform has matured to a point where we think it's worth spreading the word. I asked if it was possible to write extensions for Inkscape in C++. Since this does not seem to be possible at the moment, I want to ask you if you accept a patch to integrate our Artivity extension upstream. I appended a patch file to this e-mail. Please have a look at it and tell us what we have to change in order for you to accept it. The patch is done against the current release tarball of Inkscape (v0.91). You can apply the patch by unpacking the tarball in a directory and the following command: patch -p0 < inkscape-0.91-1artivity0.patch Our 'extension' is only compiled when Inkscape is configured with the option '--enable-artivity'. So the build should behave as normal when configured without this option. If you want to build the extension you will need libartivity [2] installed on your system. The only dependency for building the library is libcurl. So you'll need to install the libcurl development headers. Everything else should be pretty straight forward. I'd really love to have the Artivity extension to be a dynamically loaded plugin. If there's any progress on defining a plugin API for native C++ extensions I'll volunteer in implementing it. I am looking forward to your comments. With best regards, Sebastian [0] https://bitbucket.org/semiodesk/artivity [1] http://www.semiodesk.com/2015/11/23/artivity-available-windows-mac/ [2] https://bitbucket.org/semiodesk/artivity/downloads/libartivity-0.8.10.tar.gz *Semiodesk GmbH | *Werner-von-Siemens-Str. 6 Geb. 15k, 86159 Augsburg, Germany | Phone: +49 821 8854401 | Fax: +49 821 8854410 | www.semiodesk.com This e-mail message may contain confidential or legally privileged information and is intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s).

Inkscape's software design
by Jorge Lopez 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hello, I'm studying a Master Degree in Computer Engineering and we have to make an article about an Open Source program (Inkscape in my case). In this article we are suposed to interview some developers in order to know more about software design in the project they are working on, so I'm looking for some people willing to answer some simple questions about software design on Inkscape's development. If you are interested, please contact me ( jorgeludc@...400... ). Thanks in advance!

Fwd: Save in JPG files
by Bruno de Campos 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Hi, I'm using Inkscape and I realize that the program does not save in .jpg format. This is kinda disappointing because I have to open another program to save my file in a proper format. Do you have any tips or extensions or any updates that I could use to save in jpg format? PS.: I'm using Version 0.91 Thanks in advance for your attention, -- Bruno de Campos

LPE: Use sigc++ from PathParam to modify another Param
by Papoj Thamjaroenporn 21 Nov '15

21 Nov '15

Dear Inkscape-devel, I would like to find a way to trigger a change from PathParam and change another Param in the same LPE effect. What is the correct way of doing this? What I have attempted: I noticed that PathParam already provides a bunch of useful signals, like signal_path_pasted (when a new path has been pasted in placed of the existing path in PathParam). So I just set up in my LPE effect like: myPathParam.signal_path_pasted.connect( sigc::mem_fun(*this, &LPEWrinkleStretch::triggerAChangeInPeakPointArrayParam) ); And in my own method, I just modify another WrDmPeakPointArrayParam with set_and_write_new_value(). Nothing fancy here. Although I have made sure that the change happened and the resulting change was what I expected, this notification-callback approach seems to break the LPE entirely: now interacting with anything in the effect afterward (moving other unrelated handles, changing values, etc) will not update the LPE at all, although the doEffect() method is still called constantly. So obviously, I am doing something wrong here. I have noticed that there is another effect, lpe-bspline, that makes use of the callback mechanism to update the effect. I understood the basic mechanism: you process path effects normally, create a result in SVG format in text, save that text onto the internal XML “Repr” directly, and then you provide some sort of save state for undoing. However, I am not sure how to do this for another Param (not the resulting path from the LPE effect). Do I write my own version of saving such param into the internal XML tree directly? I don’t really have a new widget, but an update should be triggered after clicking on “Paste path” button in PathParam, so do I have to override newWidget() method? Can someone also explain to me how DocumentUndo::done() works (what the variables are)? Thank you for always being supportive and helpful.

TSL errors for LP
by Brynn 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Hi Friends, I'm having trouble connecting to Launchpad today. (1 success out of 8 tries :-( ) The error says "Secure Connection Failed" with option to report it to Mozilla. Info: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tls-error-reports "If you experience this problem, contact the owners of the website and ask them to update their TLS version to a version that is still current and still secure." Has this already been reported to LP? If not, how can I do that? There doesn't appear to be any way to allow the connection to go through anyway, but I'm still investigating. Maybe have to use IE? Thanks for your help :-) brynn

Union PathVector
by Jabier Arraiza 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Hi to all. I want to make a pathvector joined with itself like Inkscape do whith only a path selected, with subpats and in non-zero fill rule. I look to Krzysztof code with boolops but it handle it with diferent pathvectors, not with the same. If anybody can point me on a direction, his help are welcome. All the best, Jabier.
