My username is being changed from "NeoPhyte_Rep" to "NeoPhyte Rep" as I log into the wiki (the underscore becomes a blank). Hence, I can't log in. Has there been some change that would cause this to happen?

libpng14/15 config detection and/or compile support
by Jeff Kowalczyk 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

If there is any way to support compilation of inkscape trunk on a system with libpng15 installed? On Gentoo Linux ~amd64, I have libpng 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5 installed in independent slots. Config detects and tries to compile with 1.5, even though that API is not yet compatible with inkscape, it seems. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/721029 I've usually been able to run inkscape trunk, my sincere thanks to all involved for keeping the build at such a consistently high level over several years. Thanks, Jeff

Hi all, Kris has been improving our code using hints from cppcheck. I have started to use this program too, and already found some bugs with it. It seems like a really great program, and I encourage you to have a look at our code with it. Windows devs: yes this program has a nice Windows GUI ! Cheers, Johan

2geom modification
by Josh Andler 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hey all, It appears that the 2 last commits made to trunk had modified files in the 2geom directory. Unfortunately these modifications were done in our in-tree copy only which is effectively forbidden. This message is just a friendly reminder to everyone that the process is that changes are to be made upstream in lib2geom and then brought into Inkscape's copy. Jon, if you do not have commit access to lib2geom please submit a diff of your changes as soon as you can. Cheers, Josh

Hi all, I want to set updates from the official site for social networking. Does anyone know why the rss feed does not work on www.inkscape.org? Does anyone here know the password of Twitter? @inkscape I'm creating a fanpage on facebook[1] too. I know that we must prioritize free networks (Diaspora, identi.ca, noosfero and others); But unfortunately, there are many users on the basis of proprietary networks, can provide at least notificiações and updates.

Hi Guys, If there are files on the wiki which arent linked to by any pages, and dont appear to be inkscape related, do we delete them? example would be: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/File:100_0306.jpg which has no links on our wiki, and is a truck, so has no apparent link to inkscape.

State of the Wiki
by John Cliff 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hi Guys, Been doing some spam cleanup on the wiki, and there doesnt seem to have been a legitimate edit since about the 6th Oct. We seem to be getting about 4 accounts a day being created so that they can post a page full of garbage for seo or whatever. Is there a particular reason that we dont have any form of account verification before we let people create stuff? Can we require moderation before we let people post/create, or just disable automatic registration, and put a human (or humans) in the loop? As it is the only people who seem to be adding stuff are spammers... Cheers John

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape-devel Digest, Vol 65, Issue 16
by Ashmi Shah 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Quite a while ago, we submitted a request for the following: It would be nice to create hairline, single pixel line, or 0.001 to 0.004 inch thickness line while designing. The Windows GDI would consider this to be a vector line. It could be quite useful to use it in creating designs for processing by CNC as well as Laser machines for cutting. Was this ever implemented? If not, do you plan to implement it? Your feedback will be most useful. Thanks and regards.

Modevia & Nightlies
by Josh Andler 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hey all, I got a response from JTC Inc regarding our use of the modevia server and was told that the server is no longer available for us to use. So, the bad news is that we need to find alternative hosting. However, the good news is that they didn't nuke our data apparently. They want to know what we need to be able to retrieve the data, so I left it with a response asking how much data we had on the server... once we know this we can make arrangements to recover the nightly stuff. Now is the fun part... does anyone know of any organizations that would be interested in hosting this stuff for us? I'm almost tempted to say the nightly builds might do well on sourceforge just for the sake of mirroring and having a rough idea of download stats. It's just a thought, no one is married to it. All reasonable suggestions are welcome. Cheers, Josh

how to get x y coordinate in mm ?
by perry-dev 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hi, I have one problem related to coordinates. i want to save d attributes in mm unit. for that with the help of google . i have changed default unit "mm" in Document Properties Option. After that i am going to draw 50x50 mm rectangle for that i need to change mm from px in "control tool bar " . now i got attributes like d="M 222.47117,285.53205 L 398.65476,285.53205 L 398.65476,461.71565 L 222.47117,461.71565 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 z" But when i changed mm to px then also got same attributes d="M 222.47117,285.53205 L 398.65476,285.53205 L 398.65476,461.71565 L 222.47117,461.71565 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 z" How to distinguish between mm and px . i am really stuck in this Let me know solution...!!! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-get-x-y-coordinate-in-mm---tp32704855p32704855… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

by gespertino＠...400... 17 Oct '11

I'm with Felipe on this one. Not only because I endorse free software but also for practical reasons. Supporting proprietary solutions just because of technical reasons might make it harder for FLOSS alternatives to mature if there's a handy proprietary driver/API in use. I wonder who would feel attracted to code optimizations and improvements if the application already works great with that proprietary addon. I also wonder how supporting proprietary (mantaining compatibility with free) impacts on the complexity of the code and if it doesn't add more work to the few developers the project has, even if somebody comes and provides the code. I'm convinced that some short term solutions like this could have a very negative impact sooner or later. nVidia has a good damage record with its proprietary drivers in linux: They work pretty good, so having a free alternative never felt as a real need, and there we are. Intel has better free drivers but inferior hardware, so if you're planning to do serious 3D you have to buy nVIdia or ATI and deal with their non-free drivers. Technically you have the option, but in practice it becomes a hard dependency. I don't think this is a political statement by itself, but coincidentally the political statement leads to the same conclusion. I'm glad to know that FLOSS is priority anyway. :-) Just my 2 cents.

Polygon in polygon test
by Pippijn van Steenhoven 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hello Inkscape developers, I'm working on an Inkscape function that sorts paths in an order suitable for 3D rendering. For this, I need to know which polygons contain which other polygons. In my use case, partial containment does not occur, i.e. every shape is either fully contained or has no crossings. I tried to implement this "polygon in polygon" functionality by iterating over all the points of one polygon and using the 2geom function Geom::contains(Path, Point) to test them for containment. However, I found several cases where the function does not yield the expected result[1]. The current method I use is to test for partial inclusion (at least one point is included) and the number of crossings (using the Geom::crossings function) is 0. This is super slow, however, so my question is: how can I efficiently test whether a polygon is in another polygon?

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape style connectors - usability suggestion
by Hans-Jürgen Hay 13 Oct '11

There would be 9 default connection points: the > center (the > only one available now) and other 8 connection points that you get > when you > draw 8 imaginary lines that connect the center to the corners of the > object's > bounding box and the midpoints of the edges of the object's bounding > box and > intersect these imaginary lines with the object's edge. just as an idea, I would suggest to handle connections more generic. Instead of using default and configurable fixed connection points it would be better to attach directly to the objects outer shape using generic connection points. In this case no predefined connection points need to be shown as the shape is shown in any case. When a handle gets near the shape the shape itself might get highlighted to indicate it will catch the handle when dropped. When the handle gets dropped near the shape it should connect to the shapes outer sub element (e.g. the nearest line of an rectangle) at an offset from its center calculated from the point of dropping the handle using a calculated normal. The Object would store the connection by adding an additional connection object to its connection list. Each connection object would at least need: - a reference to the attached handle, - a reference to the shapes sub element, to which the handle is attached - a relative offset from the shapes sub elements center point. - the normal vector to be optionally used for connecting attached line with an angle normal to the outer shape ( eg. for round objects) - sharp edges and the center of an sub element could be made prefered relative positions to snap to This could allow: * to delete connections when getting disconnected. * no need to handling additional default points * scaling of objects without disturbing the arrangement of the attached handles * allow attachments without code to display additional points/crosses/circles to show the user where he can attach the handle * no need decide in advance on the placement of the default connection point * individual placement by dropping the handle where it should stay * grabbing and moving the handle to a different location along the outer shape I don't know anything of the code base nor do I have any time to work on this in any capacity but envision the idea could lead to better diagram layout and improved usability.

End shape tool with tool switch
by Samuel Buttigieg 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hello all Users/Developers, I was wondering if anyone was effected by this small bug(if you can call it one): sourceforge.net. Basically it means that if you switch from one tool to another before pressing enter, the shape/path drawn is destroyed. Is this intentional or would you like this to be fixed? I am looking for your opinions, be it in favor or against, so that if a lot of people appose this idea I won't waste any time on it. Thanks for your time. Regards, Samuel

Hi, With trunk I am having trouble getting snapping to paths to work consistently. I was thinking about demoing the new snapping to the intersection of a path and guide. I can get it to work sometimes but for the most part my test rectangle will not snap to anything to do with a path. Snapping to the grid and guide lines always works as expected. Has anybody else seen this behavior? It seems to not work more often with complicated drawings (many layers). I've also gotten this error message a few times: ERROR:widgets/toolbox.cpp:2108:void toggle_snap_callback(GtkToggleAction*, gpointer): assertion failed: (ptr != NULL) Inkscape r10675 with Fedora 15.
