compiling inkscape
by Samuel Buttigieg 26 Sep '11

Hello all, I have a question perhaps someone of you can answer: Can inkscape be compiled in Kdevelop or do I have to use Eclipse? I tried various ways to get it to build in Kdevelop but so far they have failed. Searching on google did not provide any answers either, but there seems to be a lot of info about compiling inkscape in Eclipse. I mainly need the IDE to be able to debug inkscape source code that I am working on. Thanks and Regards, Samuel

compiler warning - value used in own initialization.
by Campbell Barton 22 Sep '11

Hi, noticed this compiler warning which looks like invalid code: src/gradient-drag.cpp:1894:69: warning: variable 'p' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization [-Wuninitialized] `bzr blame` points to - 10582.1.11 tweenk. This is the line: Geom::Point p = ls.pointAt(ls.nearestPoint(dragger->point + p)); -- - Campbell

ssh access to inkscape.org

Hi again, Folks at OSUOSL tweaked various things here and there recently, so SSH might not like your public key now. The fix is to mail support at osuosl and attach your current public key (no need to create a new one). Just so you know. Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org

Inkscape 0.49 status update & discussion of a proposed release plan
by Josh Andler 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hey All! Are there any larger features people are planning on still for this cycle that aren't well known? If you want to get something in that is unknown, please speak up soon because we want to help you test it. :) I know of the following items which we're looking to get in: *All of the current GSoC projects. :) *fingers crossed* *What will also probably be more work towards GTK3 compatibility. On the refactoring front I can report good news that Abhishek Sharma has gotten all proper libcroco stuff submitted upstream. If lucky, we may be just a few distribution releases away from being able to take libcroco out of trunk! Additionally, Alex Valavanis has brought our in-trunk copy of libgdl up-to-par with the 2.X (whatever is "current") branch of libgdl. I'm unsure if patch submissions have been made in that direction for the couple of custom features that we have in our copy. Either way, hopefully we'll be able to get our copy out of trunk around the same time. Campbell Barton has been plugging away on cmake related stuff. I'm not sure of the status of it, especially cross-platform-wise. Obviously, Krzysztof Konsinski's GSoC work from last year has been merged and all I can say is... please stress test this the best you can. Pretend you don't know how to use Inkscape and break it like a newb. ;) Are there any big refactoring goals we're still missing out on that people think we should shoot for? (please be reasonable) I'm planning on looking to look into a couple Windows things, but will save that for a different email. All of that aside, here is a VERY loose and preliminary proposed release plan: Mid-August for Chill Beginning of September for Frost (Bug Hunt begins) End of September for Feature Freeze End of October for Hard Freeze Sometime in November for Branch & Release I'd like feedback on the bug hunt goal. I think we've actually gotten a lot accomplished for a release just with the cairo renderer alone. Newly created bugs aside (as in, if you introduce bugs during this cycle, they don't count toward the total), 250 points seems like a reasonable goal. Do note, we will be releasing an uber-stable 0.48.3 more likely than not, so if we release "0.49" to a wider audience to get more testing, it's not so bad. For those new to the process, our bug hunt will begin at Feature Freeze. Traditionally, we specify a point target for us to reach, and award us points based on the severity of the bug: 3, 6, 9, or 12 points for low, medium, high, and critical. Lastly... version numbering... we have way too many opinions about this. I do want to reiterate, Inkscape deserves a more "grown-up" version numbering scheme for users. I very much think Mental's comment about we should have a public version number and then stick with our current numbering scheme for development purposes. It's akin to code-names internally and solid numbers publicly. So, are date formats appealing? YY.MM or YYYY, some arbitrary number we just agree on starting with, bump the decimal place from with the current numbering, or what? If we get too many opinions again, I'll propose handing it over to the board... Thoughts or comments? Cheers, Josh

Pages extension and page numbers.
by john Culleton 18 Sep '11

18 Sep '11

I downloaded the "pages" package to go with 48.2. Unfortunately when you get to "Master Page" and try to insert an automatic page number you get very deep into python-world. It requires lxml which in turn requires something else etc. etc. I long ago gave up chasing such asymptotic strings of requirements AKA library hell. Would it be possible to package this extension with all the required pieces included? Or reprogram it so that the lxml etc. were not required? I recognize that the author is a python enthusiast. But I am not. And there must be a simpler way to insert consecutive page numbers on a master page. I will do it by hand if necessary. I use Slackware 13.37 -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Hi all, thank you for helping :) Yes I do have Windows 7 64 bit. I just downloaded and installed UniConvertor (the windows msi) at the link provided and I got the exact same error. I did not reboot, is it necessary? I have too much going on to reboot right now. With the installer, I used the normal installation and installed to the default location. Was that correct?

Export as .WMF gives Errors, What to do?
by Gina 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I just downloaded and installed Inkscape a few days ago, and my main reason was to export to wmf to import into my Machine Embroidery programs. However, when I save a line art as .wmf, Python stops working and gives me a unicode error. Specifics below: ---------------------------------------- python.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. After I click the Close program button I get an Inkscape error box that says: Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. UniConvertor failed: rest of box is blank --------------------------------------------- I did a little research (i'm not a programmer just an end user), and it seems the bug has been confirmed but I can't really find what has been done about it, or what I'm supposed to do now. Can anyone help? Thank you, Gina

Inkscape to Synfig Studio: update
by Nikita Kitaev 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi everyone. I've been running my svg2sif converter through a semi-automated tester using a huge archive from openclipart, and now I have testing results. I fixed all of the major bugs I could find and it works correctly on a large number of SVG files. There are still cases where it fails, but almost all of them are caused by SVG files that don't originate from Inkscape. What stability should I aim for before it becomes a possibility to have it shipped with Inkscape? The kind of unsupported features I'm talking about include: viewBox attribute in <svg> tag gradients defined in the body of the document rather than in the defs section node having no id unicode<>ascii conversion error (If anyone knows I place where I can get a large number of Inkscape-only SVG files, that would help.) ~Nikita

bug in pdf export ?

Hi ! The following svgz file : http://dl.free.fr/hYWUU9wMI can be correctly viewed by inkscape or any web browser. However, when I try to export it as a pdf, the plots diseappears. Hence, I can't use the pdf+Latex export... I have tried Inkscape 0.48.1 on Windows 7 and Inkscape 0.48.0 on debian 6.0 This file is generated with gnuplot 4.4 pl 3. I d'ont know if this svg file is well formed (and there is a bug in inkscape) or not (and there is a bug in gnuplot). Any idea on how to export this file to pdf+Latex would be appreciated. ----- Cordialement, Wilfried Kirschenmann "An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field."* *Niels Bohr - *Danish physicist (1885 - 1962)*

Circle animation in SVG
by Johan Engelen 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hi all, Some animated artwork you may like. I decided to transfer an old Pascal project into SVG. If you use Firefox: http://tostiband.nl/circles_small.svg If you use Chrome or Opera: http://tostiband.nl/circles.svg http://tostiband.nl/circles_bw.svg http://tostiband.nl/circles_rgb.svg http://tostiband.nl/circles_vertical.svg It's my first script attempt/copy-paste-fest, so probably I animate the circles in a dumb way, and that is why it is slow in Firefox. All comments are welcome of course. It is really nice to be able to hit a key to "maintain" the wave it is showing, i.e. all circles start rotating with the same speed but with the current phase difference. Then if you hit the key again, the program continues with the different circle speeds and rotates through all kinds of waves. Maybe if I feel like it, I will add this, but... it would be nifty if someone could give me some code that I could copy-paste for that :P :P Ciao, Johan

It might be better to discuss this on the developers mailing list (instead of sending it to everyone in the inkscape developers group). As for your question, as far as I can tell it's choosing between sticking to old behaviour that doesn't make much sense and causes problems for at least some people and new behaviour that makes a lot more sense but might cause some problems for existing drawings. This is not an easy choice, but I would be inclined to go with the new behaviour, as that's probably the better choice in the long run. Obviously going with the "new and improved" behaviour will cause some problems with existing material, but I'm afraid it's impossible to always avoid this. Now, if you want to be really friendly towards people with existing material there are a couple of possible courses of action: 1. Detect version of Inkscape that file was saved with and automatically convert linked offsets. 2. Supply an extension that can "fix" linked offsets from older versions. 3. Provide details for manual migration (what's the easiest way to get people's linked offsets to behave like they used to). 4. Make the behaviour optional (per file), possibly in combination with version detection. 5. Create a new way to achieve linked offsets so that it does not affect old linked offsets. Personally I'm not a big fan of 4 (extra code, extra complication). Option 1 is kind of nice in some cases, but in this particular setting it could prove to be a hassle if files move between people with different versions. All in all I would recommend option 2 or 3, and possibly 5, if you're feeling adventurous :) Option 5 is probably a bit more involved, but would be cool. In particular, I was thinking that it might be cool to be able to use LPEs on "clones", and a linked offset would then just be a certain kind of LPE. Currently this isn't possible as clones are not paths, so it would probably require creating a new kind of "linked path" and making sure that LPEs work with that. Then we would need to create an LPE that does an offset and make sure that the offset can be edited on canvas. With option 5 we could choose to keep the old linked offsets code around or to remove it. The latter has the advantage that existing files will still render correctly, any old-style linked offsets simply aren't editable as linked offsets anymore.
