GtkObject deprecation
by Alex Valavanis 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi All, I reported bug #813212 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/813212> a couple of days ago, which deals with the deprecation of GtkObject in GTK+ 3. I have taken a quick look at fixing the problem, but there a couple of things I'm not confident about. Perhaps someone with more GTK+ experience could help out here? One of the main issues here is that SPCanvasItem (our custom implementation of GnomeCanvas) is a subclass of GtkObject. GNOME Evolution got round this problem in their own copy of GnomeCanvas by changing the parent class to GObject. This introduces a couple of issues that I could use some help with: 1) What do we do about the "::destroy" signal? GObject has no such signal... there is a "::dispose", but is it functionally equivalent? Can we just rename all the gtk_object_destroy calls to g_object_run_dispose, and replace the custom GtkObject.destroy implementations with GObject.dispose? Does the same apply for GtkObjectClass and GObjectClass? 2) What do we do about the GtkObjectFlags enumeration? This is deprecated, and no equivalent is available in GObject. Can we just add a typedef for a "SPCanvasItemFlags" enumeration in sp-canvas-item.h, and add a "guint32 flags" member to SPCanvasItem? Thanks, Alex

Developer/Translator Poll
by Josh Andler 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hey All, Windows devs, what version of Win are you all running regularly? Do many still run XP or 2000? (I know user-wise they're still pretty common, just not sure in our circle) On the Linux side, I'm trying to get a feel for how old the distros everyone uses are... does anyone lag any older than one "LTS" for example? Do people tend to upgrade with every release? For me, I tend to run whatever the next release of Ubuntu is (so I'm using what will be 10.10 for example)... what can I say other than I like bleeding. ;) On the Mac side, what are your upgrade habits? There is relevance to me asking this, but I will hold off on sharing until there's a bit of feedback. Cheers, Josh

revision number in about screen
by gespertino＠...400... 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi I'm using devel versions from PPA for trunk and I noticed that the about screen doesn't show the revision number (it just shows "0.48+devel r"). It showed the revision number in previous versions, so I assume something broke there (I can't tell when, but at least in the last two trunk builds from PPA) Gez.

Fixing the rectangle start marker bug
by Simon A. Eugster 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Good morning, I'm talking about this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/420202 I don't know the inkscape source code, but I do know some C/C++ (I'm a fellow developer of http://kdenlive.org and of soon-to-be released slowmoVideo[1]). And I'm totally frustrated every time I see the above bug. For 2 years now. (What would a user do? Inkscape does not work -> use illustrator again.) Please give me a rough estimate of how much time you think it would take me to fix this bug. 2 hours or 2 days? thanks, Simon [1] http://vimeo.com/26346418

<text> & <title> bug
by Oleg 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi, all! I use inkscape version 0.48.1 r (May 14 2011). Yesterday i saw a strange behaviour of a text element. Inkscape show me the text from the file: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <svg width="210mm" height="297mm" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <text x="72mm" y="38mm" dx="0mm 2mm 4mm 2mm 4mm 2mm 2mm 2mm"> <title>some title</title> 12072011 </text> </svg> as "1 20 72011", instead of "12 07 2011". If i delete the title element or comment it, the text element show me as needed. Is this a bug or may be i do anything wrong? Thanks.

Debugging Inkscape on Linux
by Diederik van Lierop 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi all, If try debugging inkscape using gdb on Linux, then you will have noticed that in some cases xserver will become unresponsive. This happens for example if you hit a breakpoint or assert while you were dragging an object. Years ago, one of our developers blogged about a trick to run gdb on a virtual terminal and have inkscape still run within the xserver. I cannot recall however who it was and were it was posted, but it was a cumbersome workaround anyway because you had to operate gdb from a terminal (something I've never been able to master). I've now learned a better way to do this, using gdb from within Elipse which allows you to inspect any variable by using your mouse only. That's a level I can handle ;-) See http://developer.gnome.org/gtk-faq/stable/x461.html for an explanation. I couldn't manage to get the first option working (btw --sync has been deprecated as of recently, see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-February/097248.html). The Xnest option however works flawlessly on my Fedora 15 system. I only wished that I had known about this years ago... PS: xorg-x11-twm and xorg-x11-server-Xnest must be installed Diederik

New color system/swatch for Inkscape
by Lucas Vieites 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hi, I was approached the other day by Gabriel Vano (Cc'd in this message) from Give Life Color System (http://www.givelifecolorsystem.com/FreeColors.php) to help him contact someone on the Gimp dev list to ask if they would be interested in adding this new color system to their software. As Inkscape is using the same type of file for swatches I thought I'd give it a try, and it worked fine as you can at the bottom of this screenshot ( http://www.codexion.com/files/inkscape_givelifepalette.png). Do you think it might be interesting to add this swatch by default in future versions of Inkscape? Gabriel is willing to discuss copyright issues (assigning part of the rights to Inkscape or whatever). Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites lucas@...1852... http://blog.codexion.com

gtksourceviewmm
by Fernando Lucchesi 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi, I'm working on the javascript interface[1], and my mentor gave the idea of implementing syntax highlighting. In order to do that, I was thinking of using gtksourceviewmm. Is it possible(desirable) to add this lib to Inkscape? Should I keep the version without the lib, and then use some ifdefs and a "./configure" flag to choose between the two? Also, I've tried including the lib, but I couldn't figure out where to add it in autotools. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/795849 -- Fernando Lucchesi

License of Inkscape Tango icons?
by Carsten Fuchs 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Dear Inkscape developers, my name is Carsten Fuchs and I'm the main developer of the Cafu game and graphics engine, http://www.cafu.de We're currently in the process of updating the user interfaces of our graphical editor applications, i.e. the Map Editor, GUI Editor and Model Editor. So far, our new icon sets are based on own artwork and icons from the GNOME Icon Theme 3.0, which is licensed both under the LGPL v3 as well as under CC BY-SA 3.0. After a lot of work, we're still lacking about half a dozen icons, and found that the Inkscape Tango icons (tango_icons.svg) would not only be a perfect fit, but are also very nice and wonderful! Do we understand right that the Inkscape icons are released under the same license as the Inkscape source code, the GPL v2? If so, would it be possible to release them under, for example, the CC BY-SA 3.0 as well? I'm asking this mainly because we're offering the Cafu engine both under the GPL v3 as well as under custom commercial license. At the same time, it generally seems widely unclear how the software-oriented GPL applies to artwork: e.g. if we exported about six icons from tango_icons.svg to PNG image files, and shipped them with our apps (both source code and binary editions) as separate files, i.e. not embedded in any executable or other file, and load them at runtime, would that still require us to omit them from our commercially-licensed packages? I'd be very grateful for your consideration and advice. Many thanks and best regards, Carsten -- Cafu - the open-source Game and Graphics Engine for multiplayer, cross-platform, real-time 3D Action Learn more at http://www.cafu.de

Verbs+SPAction versus GtkAction
by Gellule Xg 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

I'm contemplating a reimplementation of OSX menu integration using external tools that rely on Gtk::UIManager and GtkAction. This seems orthogonal to the current Verbs+SPAction custom framework used by Inkscape. I would like to start with a simple question: What is the benefit of Verbs versus GtkAction? In the Wiki there is this idea of being able to attach a Verb to a View. -Julien/Gellule

bug in changing gradient color
by SorinN 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

Hi all, I just "tested" this bug with few inkscape-trunk revisions (Win32 and Natty). It is present for any inkscape-trunk versions bigger that 10349 (I didn't check earlier versions). now I use 10359 and the bug is still present. Steps to reproduce : Open a blank file - Draw a rectangle - Assign a color - Make a gradient using the gradient tool OR using Fill tab option - Edit the gradient, chose the color node then try to change colorspace to another one (CMYK, RGB, etc). - Bang. I can reproduce this bug in Windows 7 too with the revision 10350. -- Nemes Ioan Sorin

Hi, I was trying to compile inkscape with clang, and for many reasons this failed, however one looks like it should probably be fixed in the code. src/ui/widget/registered-widget.h operator const Gtk::Widget () { return dynamic_cast<Gtk::Widget*>(this); } Should either be: operator const Gtk::Widget () { return *dynamic_cast<Gtk::Widget*>(this); } Or: operator const Gtk::Widget () { return dynamic_cast<Gtk::Widget>(this); } -- - Campbell

Black background in active sliders
by LucaDC 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Recently I've notice that active sliders have a heavy and thick black background, different than when disabled. Compare the two cases in the attached file. http://old.nabble.com/file/p31859141/silders.png As you can see, they are taken under Windows XP. (By the way, notice also that the "Opacity (%):" label is not grayed out). Is this intended? Personally I'd prefer having the same thin rail in both cases.

Inkscape CSS class handling

Hello everyone, I just wanted to make sure, that does inkscape handle classes in CSS <style> element inside an SVG. In other words if a <text> element has <text class="one">, then does this text element inherit the properties in class="one" ?? if it does it, may someone tell me where in the codebase could this be found(although I'll be happy with the answer to first question also :) ) -- Regards, Abhishek Sharma

Inkscape license + potential problem
by Krzysztof Kosiński 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello I am wondering under what license Inkscape actually is. Most source files don't have the full GPL copyright notice which specifies the version, they only say "released under GNU GPL". This would suggest that most of the code is GPLv2+. There are also several files dual-licensed under MPL and GPL. Our Launchpad website states that Inkscape is under GPLv2. However, I encountered a file which is GPLv3 only, apparently copied from GIMP (src/util/expression-evaluator.cpp). If we really are GPLv2, then including this file is not legal, as GPLv2 is not compatible with GPLv3. We would need to change our license to GPLv3 or GPLv3+ to include this file, or contact the original authors for a GPLv2 or BSD license. PS: our Windows devlibs also seem to be in a "gray area", because most of the copyright information is not present, which might break the license terms of the libraries. I'll try to remediate this by adding the license files from each package, once I have some spare time (i.e. not very soon). Regards, Krzysztof
