New Measurement Tool in Inkscape
by Felipe Sanches 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Hello, I'd like to let you all know that I have been working on a new tool for measuring objects in Inkscape. Here is a screencast of the tool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZKnxTO11xE But if you checkout the development code from Bazaar , then you'll see some new things that were implemented in the tool after recording the screencast (i.e. the tool now displays angle info also). Happy Hacking, Felipe Sanches PS: If you find bugs prease report them and assign the bugs to me at Lauchpad bug tracker.

by Preben Soeberg 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

"Stylus entered coordinates are wrong." Reported on https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/797519 This error is a showstopper. There is likely also a problem with the Wacom mouse, but I cannot test this, as mine is broken. Regards Preben

Use of MINGW64 (minor)
by Bruno Winck 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi Everyone, I am on the process to resume my work on Inkscape I did about css. I was using svn, now I have a new computer so I start again fresh with bazaar, so far so good. Since its running Windows 7 x64 I decided to give a try to mingw64. Compiling btool went fine, however when running it allocated 4 gig of memory and stalls. A quick look didn’t help figure out what could be the cause and now I revert to x32. Now I wonder what is the ground of using btool today. Is it still a necessity ? Other projects compile both on Windows and Linux without any specific tool. It would also help to benefit from a real incremental build. Any ideas of what was already tried around btool ? Also if there is already some ideas of having Inkscape addins let me know. I would like some ability to add attributes to svg files like scripts or rdf attributes. -Bruno Bruno Winck Email: <mailto:bwinck@...2633...> bwinck@...2632...

CMake update
by Joshua Blocher 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

oops didn't send it to the list as well Campbell, Thank you for picking support for the cmake build up. Johan and I authored most of the system but I had given up on getting it to link properly and than went on hiatus from working on Inkscape. And that is where things have sit until today. > - Options from configure's --with/--without This I don't agree with. Cmake should detect all optional libs and use them by default if available. At the end of the configuration generation it should tell the developer what libs are not being used. Similar to what KDE's Calligra does currently. For Experimental features I'm find with this. Thank you again for picking this up if you need anything feel free to ask. I'm going to test this soon. Joshua L. Blocher verbalshadow

Hey All, I just wanted to tell everyone about the creation of two PPAs that we created for Ubuntu users. One is for the current stable/supported release of Inkscape (not populated yet). https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/stable The other is a nightly/trunk PPA for our testers and those who just want the newest features right away. https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/trunk We owe a big thank you to Alex Valavanis and Cafuego for doing all the hard stuff.

CMake update
by Campbell Barton 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi Dev's, Over the weekend I found inkscape's cmake files were not working and took the time to update them, * What Works * - building on linux - auto-detecting libs - basic installation - generating config.h, inkscape-version.c - all source & headers listed in CMakeLists.txt * Whats needed * - Inkview target - Options from configure's --with/--without - a CMake module FindDBus.cmake, probably other libraries which are optional too. - CMake currently doesn't install translations, hicolor/icons, or man pages. Probably you already discussed this when first adding CMake but I checked on build times and IDE integration. Including all source files in the CMakeLists.txt files is important for IDE's mainly so they are aware of the headers. I double checked inkscape's source loads in QtCreator/Netbeans & Eclipse. To ensure cmake doesn't get out of sync with the source there is a script which parses the CMakeLists.txt files and makes sure file lists are value and don't miss any newly added files. ./CMakeScripts/cmake_consistency_check.py While a time test at this point is not quite fair, since cmake misses translations & linking inkview I ran one all the same :). Not including configure times and built with "time make -j6" on a 6 core system. cmake: 3min, 38sec. automake: 5min, 56sec. So writing to say the cmake files are (basically) working and if you're a developer who likes fast builds and IDE integration, this part works now. If there is some especially important thing I miss out, let me know and Ill try add it. If other devs want to add support for OSX/Windows, link inkview... etc, that'd be great too. -- - Campbell

Help regarding libcroco node-iface structure
by Abhishek Sharma 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hello everybody, I am a student selected for GSoC 2011 in inkscape and have undertaken the CSS standardization project. I am currently converting libcroco to be in sync with inkscape's version of libcroco. Now I also have to deal with the tests already provided with libcroco. Test #(1-4) went perfectly, but in test #5 I have to modify the code so that it used the new libcroco function. In that test, initially there was xmlNode and xmlDoc from where we were getting data for instance in one function we had *CRXMLNodePtr a_node = xmlDoc->children*. But libXml has been removed and we do it some other way. This is what I need help in. May anybody please throw some light as to what do we use for initializing parameters for libcroco parsing as in what are the initial values of CRNodeIface and CRXMLNodePtr. Please help. -- Regards, Abhishek Sharma

Connector Tool
by Josh Andler 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

Hey All, It would be really nice if someone would look into some of the issues with the connector tool, especially since they keep adding up and rarely get redued. It seems that at this point it is unmaintained and unfinished, which to me puts it in the same category as the our disabled technical/lpe tool. Meaning that if it doesn't see love by the time we're wrapping up 0.50 (or whatever that version will be), I personally feel that it should be disabled at that point and will request a vote. I know people have used it, it's cruft is in their documents, but if it's not going to be given a serious go, it makes no sense to have it. Just wanting to bring the issue up with plenty of notice.

Hi, FYI: http://www.scribd.com/doc/56137278/Depixelizing-Pixel-Art "We describe a novel algorithm for extracting a resolution-independent vector representation from pixel art images, which enables magnifying the results by an arbitrary amount without image degradation. Our algorithm resolves pixel-scale features in theinput and converts them into regions with smoothly varying shad-ing that are crisply separated by piecewise-smooth contour curves" Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org

Avaailable build for Slackware.
by John Culleton 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

The latest build for Slackware is 48.1. It requires updates of a dozen libraries newer than what comes with Slackware 13.37. The first library I tried, GTKMM was not available from its home site. So----what about Inkscape 48? will it work with the older libraries that come with slackware 13.37? How far back in the Inkscape line do I have to go to find a version that will work with the libraries in Slack 13.37? Typically the libraries date back to Oct 2009. -- John Culleton

Save a copy in current dir?
by Johan Engelen 08 Jun '11

Hi all, I'd like some usabilty input for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/791098 It requests an option to have the Save a Copy dialog always open in the current document's directory. The Save As... dialog already has this option (preferences > save). Should I add an option below the Save As... dialog option in the preference dialog, or should I use the same setting for both dialogs? The reason I ask, is that I am a little afraid of adding yet another option... Thanks for advice :), Johan

Large but small change heads-up
by Jon Cruz 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Hi, I just wanted to toss out a heads-up on change 10254 that I just pushed to trunk. It removed the outdated/unsafe SP_DOCUMENT_DEFS() macro, and changed about 58 files. Most of those were just a few lines, however, so it should not cause any major conflicts. However if anyone has some pending work, now might be a good time to re-sync from trunk so as to avoid potential extra steps being needed when committing.

Inkscape 0.48.2 ... coming soon
by Josh Andler 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Hey all, Apparently there is an exploit in the gtk we ship with 0.48.1. Given that the recently updated devlibs required modifying trunk to compile, it seems logical to just ship out the fixes that have landed in the 0.48 branch since .1 was released. In keeping things up to date and all of that fun, the 0.48.x branch is currently upgrading on lp...so I just wanted to give a heads up to everyone on that (it will just be like when we upgraded trunk). It should hopefully be done in a few hours. If anyone has and questions or concerns, please let me know. Also, if you know of any "must have" fixes which don't already exist that you think should make it, please let me know. Cheers, Josh

The change-to-really-slow-down-compile-time-and-break-modularity include mess GTK has doubled down on. :-( Thanks for slogging through the effort to get this together. I'll be going over it and hopefully getting it in soon. (I know I'd been procrastinating since the poor architectural choice has just grated on me, but we do need to get this resolved). BTW, we only just this past few weeks bumped Inkscape up to require GTK 2.20 for building, so it might be a fair bit more before we make a 3.x push overall. The header fix does help, though.

How to get path label/id

Win32 build broken?

Hi, Apparently there's something broken in the current win32 build with the new devlibs r22. Without the devlibs installed (or in a different location), Inkscape returns an error message stating that libgcc_s_slj-1.dll can't be found, and then exists. With the devlibs installed, Inkscape launches as expected. Reproduced with the modevia's file (10216) and a local build (10215). No problem with the trunk revision 10204. Regards. -- Nicolas
