Inkscape and Mac OSX menu integration
by Valerio Aimale 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

I think there might be a somewhat involved solution to the problem of integrating mac osx menus in inkscape. Sure having Inkscape with mac-ish menus would be nice. It entails creating an invisible window with a menu that is managed by OSX-integration. When a menu event is generated, the invisible window delegates the event to the windows that has focus - either via programmatically triggering the window's own - invisible- menu or by directly calling the verb/action.

Inkscape 0.48.3 Windows 7 64-bit
by Partha Bagchi 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Hi All, New to the list but not to compiling gtk programs on Windows. I decided to try my hand on compiling Inkscape on 64-bit Windows 7 after users of my Gimp builds urged me to look into Inkscape. However, I am running into an issue that is not making sense to me. The compile fails on the ui/dialog part of the tree with a message that giom/dbusmessage.h has an error in it!. I can post the exact error if needed. However, thought this might be familiar to veterans out there and so decided to post. I am using gcc 4.7.2 if that matters. If/once I am successful, I will be happy to put up builds on my website. While Googling for 64-bit builds, I see that there is virtually nothing out there for Inkscape. The SuSE builds are interesting and work. However, the ui is screwy in that you cannot open any files or save them. In other words, no dialog box shows up when you run it. So, it's not very useful. :) Thanks in advance, Partha www.partha.com

undo: writing to XML during load
by Johan Engelen 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hi all, We have a problem with the LPE-system writing to XML *during* the load process. When loading an SVG with path effects, you can do an undo operation that bugs. Upon loading a file, all effects get recalculated, because of "path_set" being the same for initialization and changes. Can we fix the situation by simply (re-)initializing the undo system *after* a file has been fully loaded? Cheers, Johan

A slight tweak to symbol manager ;-)
by Jelle Mulder 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hi all, A thought struck me while working with the symbol manager. As it currently is springtime again, I can't help myself but post this idea here. Launchpad is not often available to me due to timeouts (3 sec reply limit reached due to GFW and NSA), sorry for that. As it now reads <symbol> code and put it neatly into a window, how hard could it be to let it read <glyph> code and put that in a window. I am sure that the font designers would be thrilled with it and using LibreOffice draw to generate SVG fontsets by using its SVG export would open up a plethora of fonts to the Inkscape community. Including all those symbol sets, wingbats, sign language symbols and whatever has been put into ttf, type1 and whatever convertible format. An addition would have to be to limit the amount of glyphs read at one time as I guess that a full traditional Chinese character set of 180.000 characters would be a tad heavy. The basic tools are there though and it can't be that hard to have it read <glyph> rather than <symbol>. Reading the UNC code per 128? incrementally and adding a number under the glyph display would turn it into a pretty sophisticated tool for font developers and designers alike. Cheers, Jelle P.S. I deem myself a lousy coder, otherwise...

Official status of 0.49 & future dev cycles
by Josh Andler 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hey All, I want to try something different with this dev cycle based on feedback that has been received as well as it being our least predictable cycle thus far. First, I want to thaw trunk to a degree. New features are allowed if they really appear to be "complete"... this means no committing anything that is known to not be fully implemented, introduce regressions, or otherwise has known issues. On top of that, if the author of said feature does not have time to polish/bugfix within a month based on feedback, it's just not the right time to merge it. Once we are clearly moving forward toward a release, at that time I will propose a freeze. Once all blocker bugs are closed out a release branch will be made. At that point is when string freeze will officially set in on that release branch. 6 wonderful weeks of further bug fixes and translating will then take place. Yes, it seems like the release is "just sitting there" while getting wrapped up, but one benefit is a planned period to get test builds out in the wild so we can possibly get an even more stable new release out. Regular users always catch our oversights, so the more of them with their hands dirty helps save us some potential bug tracker grief. Hopefully some other great new stuff has the potential to land in 0.49 now. It's a shame for development to not still charge ahead if people's work is far along enough. We'll see how this works out this time and if appropriate perhaps do the same again in future releases. I will let everyone know when it looks like we should actually go back into feature, but from where I sit, I don't foresee that being too soon. As usual, any questions, comments, or feedback are welcome. TL;DR: We're mostly thawed, but commit quality matters more than usual. An update will be posted when it's merited. Cheers, Josh

Inkscape 0.48.4 Release
by Ted Gould 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

It is pretty cool to be announcing the 0.48.4 release of Inkscape. It's a great bug fix release, which will hopefully tide people over until the upcoming 0.49. There are a ton of bug fixes in this release including one security fix, so it is recommended that everyone currently using 0.48.3 or older upgrade tho this release. As per custom please avoid announcing this widely until platform packagers have a chance to make binaries for people to download.

Searching the blue prints, find this from AstromanPete https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/sketch-mode-contour-drawing I want to develop it, but whith diferences, i want to use Caligraphic or brush tool to allow if the user want random whith,opacity... in each variation. The only thing you lost using brush instead freehand, is the abbility to use beizer node to manipulate. Maybe the both things could be better. I dont have the email of the user and dotn know whats the better way to comunicate whith him. Hi and sorry for my english.

Color of an object.
by Arshdeep Singh 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

In my experiments with the code, I need some basic information on how an object is assigned its color parameters. Consider the following steps: 1. Draw a circle. Fill it with red color. 2. Draw a rectangle. Fill it with green. (both are solid colors right now) What would be happening in the memory/inkscape process ? a.) Will the inkscape process update the svg document side-by-side which will contain some style information ? OR b.) Is a linked list of objects updated in the memory which shall store the color properties for the circle and rectangle objects (along with other related parameters ofcourse, like stroke, style, etc.)? If you can give an idea on what files in the code handle these aforementioned steps, it will be great. The wiki's section on InkscapeColor does not help at all. I suppose the above question points to a more generic question ! " How are objects handled in Inkscape (while drawing) ?" Are they objects in the memory ? Perhaps grouping them just groups those objects under a group in a linked list or something like that ? Looking for quick answers. Thankyou. -- demicoder

Compiling on Windows 7
by Arshdeep Singh 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hello all, Thanks for the help. This email is just a gist of what I faced. The latest build 11962 builds just fine with devlibs r41 but not on TDM GCC 4.7.1. I faced a similar problem in getting the code to compile a few months back in August, when mathog found out that inkscape did not compile successfully using TDM GCC. He suggested Vanilla MinGW, which is the one I am using right now, and inkscape just builds fine. So anyone wanting to develop on Windows shall need: Vanilla MinGW as of now. (Personally I haven't tested the previous versions of TDM GCC, although Uwe Scholer has reported successfully building on Windows 7 using TDM GCC 4.6.1 :) ) For other components refer the Inkscape Wiki: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows I would like this information to be updated on the Inkscape Wiki. It shall help the beginners and save them time. Trust me, being new to OSD, and not being able to compile for days on end when you are following the instructions meticulously is demotivating. PS: TDM GCC 4.7.x (the latest) builds the code completely but inkscape.exe does not run. After the sandtimer cursor, nothing happens. -- demicoder
