Leadership Meeting: What is Inkscape
by Martin Owens 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Dear Inkscape, We're having another video chat tomorrow, you can find the date/time in your local timezone, plus the link to the video conference here: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/30/ * Note: it will be recorded, so share your audio and webcam with that in mind. This is going to be more casual than usual as I want to invite people to ask questions on the topic and discuss together our ideas. The topic I'd like to discuss is: What is Inkscape. Broadly an open source project can have many functions and many masters. Our project here has always been a very flat and inviting space for all sorts of contributors. Now that we are hiring a project coordinator, people would like to talk about what a project looks like when it has contributors who are paid by the project, volunteers, as well as people who are paid by outside companies. So how we can be a broad project to fairly accomodate all types of people. Can we identify when work is volunteer and when it should be a contract? Why have contracted work at all? These are not things we'll be concluding at the meeting. Just the topical questions to get things started. Hope to see you there. Best Regards, Martin Owens Project Leadership Committee

Job Posting

03 Mar '22

Dear Leadership Committee, Following our successful vote to hire a project coordinator, I'm here to report the progress and the remaining process for this job posting. I spoke with Pono from the SFC to finalise the details and the process they would like. These include: * The creation of a private mailing list where applications can go. Marc has created jobs(a)lists.inkscape.org which is a list of the hiring panel, and pono and myself as observers. I think Marc is there too as list admin. * Creation of the complete job text here: https://inkscape.org/jobs/project-coordinator-2022/ which the SFC wanted us to host on our own website. Included modifications from the SFC are the sentence for "equal opportunity employer" and the final section in how to apply for the job. The schedule for the submission of applicants and review processes is in that final section. * The formation of three inkscape community members to vet applications. Tim, prkos and michele have volunteered and are added to the above list. ~ Process todo: Confirm pono is on the mailing list and is receiving emails. Give job posting to the Vector's team for publication, however they would like to do that. A news article, twitter, etc etc. I need two other PLC members to form the finalisation panel, to conduct video interviews once we have a short list. Each interview could be an hour long, and there should be three at least in the short list, so please be aware of the time commitment at the start of April. Best Regards, Martin Owens

How do I invoke my.custom.extension by CLI
by marc 25 Feb '22

25 Feb '22

Hello all, this is my first post on this list. I'm not sure whether this is the place to ask, but couldn't find a better one. I chose to use inkscape for modifying vector-graphic-PDFs and convert them to PNGs and also to a varienty of PDFs with extra information in a background batch job. Basically this works well with official Inkscape 1.1 (c68e22c387, 2021-05-23) and the results are just as desired. Unfortunatelly there is some glitch with inkscape freezing every some hundred conversions. To track down the above freeze I decided to try the latest inkscape source and build it myself (Windows 10/Windows 11) to be able to debug it. I found that the current app (24f6795) does not obey to the same CLI. Calling --verb=my.custom.extension complains Unable to find: my.custom.extension verbs_action: Invalid verb: my.custom.extension I get the same error message if I try to invoke as -- actions=my.custom.extension. Both --action-list and --verb-list do not list any extensions. The extension is part of the menu, so inkscape seems to know about it. Commit 5e32ad5 "Menubar Filters + Extensions : Conversion to Actions" removes extensions from the verb-list. Various comments suggest that verbs are supposed to be moved to actions. Not sure whether that is the plan for extensions as well. So my question is: How can I invoke my custom extension from CLI in the current version of inkscape (24f6795926, 2021-12-25) or any later? Cheers and a happy new year to everybody, Lokomoko

Fwd: Scribus 1.5.8 released
by Maren Hachmann 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Forwarding for your interest: -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.8. Like previous releases, work on version 1.5.8 focused mostly on bugfixes and code optimizations, the latter of which are expected to lead to reliability and speed improvements. We have also begun to prepare Scribus for using Qt6, which will make our work easier for future releases. Most important changes General - UI Improvements for dark mode and some icon updates and window interactivity - Improvements to file import (IDML, PDF, PNG, TIFF, SVG) - Improvements to PDF export - Improvements with respect to tables (undo/redo, styles) - Improvements to the Story Editor - Improvements to the build system - Translation updates Technical/OS-related updates - Scribus 1.5.8 now includes Python 3 and is built for mac OS Catalina or higher. Additional Notes The complete changelog is available here: https://bugs.scribus.net/changelog_page.php?version_id=112. More details are available from the Scribus Commit Mailing List archive (http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus-commit/), beginning with revision 24637 in April 2021. Please note that while some bug fixes still may be backported to the 1.4.x branch, we do not plan an official release of this version anymore. If you think you need the changes, you have to check out the SVN repository and build 1.4.9svn from source. We encourage all Linux and *BSD distributions to switch from 1.4.x to this new version, since it's not only much more versatile but also more stable. Download For download links and checksums please visit: https://w.scribus.net/wiki/index.php/1.5.8_Release Credits The Scribus Team would like to thank Anduin.net and Modirum for their continued hosting of all of the Scribus websites.

(USA), the Newspaper Association of America (USA), Software Consulting Services (USA), freieFarbe e.V. (Germany), bauwerk Kommunikationsdesign (Germany) as Special Supporters and donors of color palettes and other content since the 1.4.x release, just like we are grateful to the owner of Vector Portal for the permission to distribute some of his work as Scribus Templates. Finally, the Scribus Team would like to thank the many end users, translators, testers and contributors who helped us with this release.

Re: [Inkscape-translator] Re: Call for translations for Inkscape 1.1.2 (bug fix release, stable branch)
by Maren Hachmann 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Hi Firas, confirmed, it's an annoying GitLab issue that hasn't been addressed for quite some time. I think it could potentially be fixable by adjusting our Continuous Integration to not have the Windows builds in a separate pipeline and to just go by date instead or whatever. (or, of course, GitLab itself could fix it, but they have known about the problem for a couple years now, so I'm not hopeful.) The summary is that the additional, scheduled (so, resource-conscious) job of the Windows builds overwrites the build results listed in the dropdown and drops old build results from the 'latest' job. You can still always find the latest successful build for 1.1.x here in this list (don't choose those that are have the little 'Scheduled' badge, but the latest one of the others): https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/pipelines?page=1&scope=all&ref=1.1.x… Or, just wait a bit... (not a great idea at the moment). Or, currently, the po and pot files in the repository are up to date, too, but that is never guaranteed. I'm including the developer mailing list as this is something they might have a way to fix.

Dev Environment Setup
by Aashutosh Konge 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

HI, it would be a huge help if anyone could resolve my issue with the dev env setup as mentioned in 'Getting started with inkscape', specifically with the executable build. Whenever, I try to install the build dependencies on Ubuntu 20.04 using '*bash install_dependencies --recommended'. *I seem to be getting the same error for each dependency: *"**Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/....... <http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/.......>."* I've tried to find answers on the internet but none of them work out. It would be a huge help if someone could help me with figuring out a workaround. *System specs*: OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 OS type: 64-bit GNOME Version: 3.36.8

Help us staff a booth at the largest German Online Linux event (English/German)!
by Maren Hachmann 27 Dec '21

27 Dec '21

Hi everyone, the Inkscape project is planning to host a virtual booth/stand again at the Chemnitzer Linuxtage (CLT), on March 12 and 13 (Sat/Sun) 2022! Usually the largest Linux and Open Source event in Germany, CLT are going to be an online-only event in 2022 again. The CLT (Chemnitzer Linuxtage) are an all-day event and we could use your help answering user questions about how to work with the program, how to contribute to it and about what is going on in the Inkscape community, by being available for questions and chatting at our virtual booth. The other thing we plan to do again is a series of short, 10 to 50 min topic-focused sessions – show other users how you use Inkscape, how to use your Inkscape extension, how people can help the Inkscape project or which cool things you made with Inkscape (and they can, too!). A live drawing session, a demonstration, a tour through your maker lab - anything that has to do with Inkscape is possible! So, no matter if you're 'just a user', a developer, a forum member, a regular user support provider in our chat channels, an Inkscape translator or other contributor – if you have some time available to spend helping the Inkscape project on that weekend in March, we would very much appreciate your help! Start by introducing yourself at the GitLab issue report where we're discussing the event organization! ****************** Please get in contact with us as soon as possible and find more info at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/-/issues/235 Let us know how you can help make the booth an interesting place for visitors to drop by! ****************** We're going to have a first chat meeting with all those interested on Saturday, January 8, 2022 at 17:30 UTC (18:30 German time, after the Inkscape Vectors' meeting) at https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors Hope to see you, it's going to be fun! If you are not able to join us at the booth, consider visiting us there! Kind Regards Maren ------------------ More info: Chemnitzer Linuxtage: https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2022/en/ What we did last year: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/-/issues/192

Inkscape PLC Meeting (moved to Nov 12, 2021)
by Ted Gould 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Howdy folks, I am late getting out this notice and folks in the chat mentioned it'd be easier for everyone if we shifted the normal meeting back a week. So we're planning on having it Nov 12, 2021 and high noon Texas time. I think this gets is out of the confusing week where everyone is on different daylight savings time as well. Timezone tool: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20211112T10&p1=202 Wiki page: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Leadership_Committee_Status_Updates I'll note that we have a few votes outstanding and if all board members could look and make sure you voted that would be helpful. I hope to do an audit on those tonight or tomorrow and it's a lot easier if all the votes are in! Otherwise you'll be shamed at the meeting 😉 Ted

Emoji handling - a mixed problem of system font management and application behavior - what is the part of inkscape
by Stefan Lechner 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

Hello folks, I have a very special and obscure situation. I am using inkscape version 1.1.1 on Arch Linux with Gnome Desktop 41.1, but the problem is present since several years on different systems, but I didn't notice it for a long time. Some months ago the situation changed… It is related to Emojis. I am using svg-files with astrological symbols as text, the fonts I am using are covering this unicode symbols and I do not want to have them replaced with symbols from an other font. But exactly this is happening since some years (in nearly every application and in a very special way in inkscape). I think it all comes from the definition which symbols are emojis and which not. There is a hand full of symbols which are in use as emojis and as normal "letters" in text - in my case asterisks. Since 2016 the system-wide emoji support is interpreting this symbols as emojis and substituting them with an emoji-font even if the signs are available in the font in use. A behavior I dislike at all, but maybe it is wanted by others for chat applications and similar. From 2016 to 2020 my system lack a special bitmap-emoji-font and I didn't notice the on going substitutin in the background. I use the Libertinus Sans (former Linux Biolinum) font and the emoji-substitutin has been replacing the asterisks signs of this font with the Dejavu Sans font - it seems Dejavu Sans is in use as an Emoji-fallback font, because of the huge unicode coverage. Since 2020 a bitmap-emoji-font is present on my system as dependency of gnome-characters. So everything changed. Now I have ugly colorful graphics instead of normal text-signs in many applications including Firefox, Eye Of Gnome,… … and inkscape? Even worse! Inkscape can not handle the signs from the bitmap-emoji-font and is substituting once again the asterisks with normal letters from the alphabet. My workaround at the moment: uninstalling gnome-characters and the emoji-font to again fallback on Dejavu font. But this is not satisfying, I want back the signs from my Libertinus font. I have not found any solution yet. I think this is a misbehavior of the emoji-implementation. But what is the problem? A missing functionality on application side or a bug of the emoji-substitution on system side? In other words: is it part of the application to accept or refuse the emoji-substitution or is the undemanded emoji-substitution of the font-system a bug itself? No matter what - I think, as long as inkscape is not able to use the emoji-fonts, it should refuse all emoji-substitution functionality completely (if possible?!). It causes problems in every case. What do you think, am I right? Stefan
