Update Cairo to 1.10.2 to fix bug
by unknown＠example.com 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hi all, (best wishes for the new year!) Cairo 1.10.2 has been released, and a bug concerning Inkscape was fixed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/665628 It is a pity it is just too late to include in 0.48.1 Krzystof, can you update Cairo in the Windows devlibs when 0.48.1 is done? Thanks, Johan

TBZR == QBzr from a user perspective. All TBzr adds is the icon overlays in explorer and context menu's when rightclicking on files in explorer. If you choose something from those menus, it calls QBzr. So it is pretty hard to use tbzr, but not use qbzr :-) (Bzr explorer does not seem to provide any extra functionality for me, for simple everyday tasks) Cheers, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Regarding memory usage when embedding pictures
by Mahen 07 Feb '11

Thanks a lot for replying, Jon ! Well indeed I tried to embed the pictures in the SVG. Let's say they'are about 2560*1920 resolution (some less some more). So : 2560 * 1920 * 4 * 35 (number of pictures) / 1024 / 1024 = 656.25 MB and 70 MB (size on disk) * 4 / 3 = 93.3 MB Total = about 750 MB Which is indeed the memory amount taken by OO.org, but Inkscape quickly fills my 4 GB of ram (minus what is eaten by KDE of course) Well, this may be an expected behaviour actually, I just wanted to check if it had to be reported. Thanks again !

If you were seeing this while linking in the images, we'll have a larger problem. On the other hand if the images were actually embedded, some such bloat was expected.

Regarding memory usage when embedding pictures
by Mahen 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi everyone ! First : thanks again to everyone involved for this great piece of software ! Sorry for all those bugreports about memory usage I made before (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/706294 regarding memory filled when using patterns and https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/708274 regarding a slight memory increase without doing anything particular :-) But I may need to fill another one : I stumbled upon a particular situation yesterday, and I would like to know if you think this is an Inkscape issue, or just a twisted use case. I wanted to import about 35 jpg pictures (from an old digital camera, so not huge resolutions but still). Inkscape managed to import and display them. I moved them onto the canvas and worked for about 2 minutes and then my hardisk started spinning tremendously, and the kernel shot down Inkscape. (I have no SWAP and 4 GB or ram) I tried to load my document again, and noticed Inscape was almost filling my 4 GB of ram. I tried to do the very same thing with OpenOffice draw and the memory usage was "only" of 0.7 GB. I definitely guess Inkscape is not meant for importing tons of pictures, but I was wondering whether there was some kind of memory leak or waste triggered by this particular scenario and if you think I should make another bugreport ? (BTW, as I told suv, I would love to contribute to "bounties" to help improve Inkscape -- regarding tasks that wouldn't be performed otherwise, like tedious memory optimization... :-) Cheers ! Mahen

Translation issues
by Jesper Öqvist 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hello, A couple months ago I submitted a new .po for the Swedish translation of Inkscape. Since then I've been unable to spend time on Inkscape. I would like to contribute to the source code proper but haven't had the time to do so. Anyway, I recently compiled the latest lp:inkscape version and noticed that there are several issues with translation strings not appearing properly in the GUI. One example is #: ../src/filter-enums.cpp:52 #, fuzzy msgctxt "Filter blend mode" msgid "Multiply" msgstr "Multiplicera" I have not worked with gettext before, but examining the filter-enums.cpp source reveals no reason why this string should not be correctly translated: 51 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_NORMAL, C_("Filter blend mode", "Normal"), "normal"}, 52 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_MULTIPLY, C_("Filter blend mode", "Multiply"), "multiply"}, 53 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_SCREEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Screen"), "screen"}, 54 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_DARKEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Darken"), "darken"}, 55 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_LIGHTEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Lighten"), "lighten"} Note that "Screen" is correctly translated! So, anyone know why the original English string is displayed in the GUI? If this could be explained to me, perhaps I could fix other occurrences of missing translations which I've noticed. I'm assuming the same issue exists for other translations as well. I did do "btool clean" before I compiled this version, so this should rule out the possibility that I'm using some old version of the compiled translation, unless perhaps my main Inkscape installation is interfering? Another issue is that I could not find myself in the list of translators in the "About Inkscape" dialog. I would like to be listed there as I did spend a fair amount of time slugging through the Swedish translation. Best regards, Jesper

Poppler issues *again*
by Josh Andler 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hey All, As we know, I like my distro to be bleeding... With libpoppler 0.16.0 we're again broken with compilation. I really think that we need to work on a proper solution for this because it seems like every 6 months we have to add additional checks to compensate for how things change. Also, I noticed that libwpg 0.2 isn't detected either, I tried mucking w/ configure.ac and had no success. Cheers, Josh

Broken document created.
by Martin Owens 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hey guys, I was doing a teaching session on Inkscape for the Ubuntu User Days a few days ago. As with almost every show-and-tell, something went wrong. This was Inkscape 0.47 for Ubuntu 10.10 and the document that I created from scratch caused inkscape to crash. What's interesting is that the image was saved by the crash protection save feature. And although the image can be opened by gnome and seen in firefox, opening it in Inkscape 0.47 causes it to crash again. I'd like to know if the crash still exists in Inkscape 0.48, which unfortunately isn't available for Ubuntu yet. If it still exists, I'll report a bug and we'll get it nailed. If you're interested in what I did to cause the problem, it's all recorded in the live session: http://livestre.am/AWfN Crash is at about 00:37:10 Best Regards, Martin Owens

Scales when importing.
by Teto 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hi all! First, please slap me if ask something already asked, or already in the soft... My problem: Sometimes I make pictures or objects, sets, whatever, apart, in their own file, and then I import them in the main picture. When you're importing a SVG file, and you're changing its size, by default you're changing the strokes thickness accordingly . But I have an issue here. I often use the path effect "pattern along a path, stretched" for obvious pencil effects. but when I import the file, the objects with this effect have their "thickness" completely different. That's just ugly. I'd like to have the question/option "object -> path before importing", and choose what type of object I want to transform when importing (if possible). The workaround is obvious: change in paths the objects and save in a new file before importing. But, well... you know... ;-) Also, when I change the size of an object with this effect, I'd like to have its 'thickness' changing in the same proportions too (same demand when importing and resizing). I do know that when I don't have the same proportions in X and Y, it's a problem for the soft to decide what to do, because the thickness of the effect has just one value. But an option "choose the smallest" should be enough to solve the problem. By the way, something completely different: in the build 10017 for windows, the layer tool is buggy: eyes and padlocks are invisible, you must pass the mouse cursor over to see them, then they vanish again, except if you pass over from the first to the last layer. Cheers, Teto.

Fwd: GSoC 2011 announced
by Pajarico 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

I forwarded this to A. Prokoudine only. Resending. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pajarico <pajarico@...400...> Date: 2011/1/25 Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] GSoC 2011 announced To: Alexandre Prokoudine <alexandre.prokoudine@...400...> 2011/1/25 Ian Caldwell <inchosting@...400...>: > good maybe we can get some Django love somewhere in there.... since our team > pretty much bailed... If you say that for me I'm sorry, but have been very busy for the last week. Will try to add edits this week. I never had Django knowledge, thought. 2011/1/25 Alexandre Prokoudine <alexandre.prokoudine@...400...>: >> * Easily add/edit hyperlinks > > We recently had a blueprint (by Pajarico?) for that. It's not for that. My blueprint was a proposition for adding hyperlinks to GUI as shortcuts to tutorials or key dilogs (basically, a usability improvement), not to add them to the canvas. BTW, please check it out and give some opinions. It's been published for some weeks now... I now you're all very busy with 0.48.1 but when you finish that I would appreciate your reviews.

Fwd: [cairo-announce] cairo snapshot 1.11.2 now available
by Alexandre Prokoudine 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

FYI. Meshes are officially in Cairo now. Scribus 1.5.0svn actually had internal copy of that branch for meshes support. Not anymore probably :) Alexandre ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Wilson Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2011 16:59:00 +0000 Subject: [cairo-announce] cairo snapshot 1.11.2 now available To: cairo-announce@...278... Cc: gnome-announce-list@...45..., ftp-release@...626... A new cairo snapshot 1.11.2 is now available from: http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.11.2.tar.gz which can be verified with: http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.11.2.tar.gz.sha1 40b9e1066fcd33c2aeecd800764b1aa5a0ac7bde cairo-1.11.2.tar.gz http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.11.2.tar.gz.sha1.asc (signed by Chris Wilson) Additionally, a git clone of the source tree: git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo will include a signed 1.11.2 tag which points to a commit named: ac9ee388faf3c8c5df502f6cc7b039f043154954 which can be verified with: git verify-tag 1.11.2 and can be checked out with a command such as: git checkout -b build 1.11.2 Snapshot 1.11.2 (2011-01-23) =========================== In this first snapshot along the way to cairo-1.12.0, we are very excited to announce the introduction of Bezier surface gradients, known as type 6/7 gradients in PS/PDF parlance. This is the culmination of much work by the dynamic duo: Adrian Johnson and Andrea Canciani. Thanks guys! Also, I want to warmly welcome Uli Schlachter who recently joined the Cairo community on a mission. That mission is to make cairo-xcb a supported backend for 1.12. And for this snapshot he has made great strides in fixing all the bugs I had left behind. Thanks Uli! And we have also seen a new contributor, Alexandros Frantzis, who has begun bringing up cairo-gl for GLESv2 devices. Thanks Alex! And lastly, I must also thank Adrian and Andrea for the vast numbers of bugs that they have tackled between them, fixing all those little corner cases that lie hidden until too late. -Chris

[Repost] Broken PDF files + crashes involving patterns
by Mahendra Tallur 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi to the team ! I just realized the 2 emails I sent to the inkscape-user ML were more appropriate on the devel ML (I first thought the devel ML was only for developers). I could just wait & see what happens, but it seems 0.48.1 is just around the corner, and I would feel guilty if some important bugs I stumbled upon were not reported in time ! Please allow me to copy/paste their content below : *[First mail : issues with patterns involving crashes]* Hi everyone ! First : thanks for the amazing work done by the Inkscape developers ! I'm a new casual Inkscape user:) I'm using it at the moment to carry on the work done by someone who owned inDesign. Thus, I used an .svg file that was exported from this piece of software. The export went fine overall, except some fonts issues (for instance, I could only select the first line in text frames) and colours were generally not good. I fixed almost anything by rewriting the text and changing colours but I encountered a few issues and problems in general with patterns. Indeed : in the document, there are a few polygons which are filled with a pattern which consists in many spirals. For some reasons the colours went wrong during the export but I couldn't change directly the colours used in the patterns. (more generally, I didn't know how to apply the same colours to many objects at the same time) So I converted the pattern back to an object, changed to colours, converted it to a pattern, and applied it to the object. So it did the trick. However I had many issues in the process : 1) Inkscape completely filled my memory twice and the kernel had to kill the task. This happened when using several times in a row the functions to convert patterns to objects or the contrary. All of a sudden, the hard drive began to spin non-stop (I have no swap but 4 GB of ram) and I could barely move my mouse cursor. It also happened when I was using the "node" tool to change the position / rotate etc. the pattern when applied to an object. 2) I managed to crash inkscape when undo-ing some operations that were involving a pattern<-> object conversion Also, I was wondering if there was a simpler way to handle patterns ? (edit them afterwards / change their colours / remove them from the list ?) 3) to make the operation easier, I decided to change some colours directly in the pattern definition in the XML file. It seemed to worked : the drawing was displayed properly in Inkscape or when exporting to .png. But when exporting to .pdf, the modified patterns were invisible or trashed when zooming in. Oops ! Can you guys please tell me if I should file some bugreports ? Maybe those bugs are known and fixed in the upcoming 0.48.1 ? (I'm also the one who filed the bugreport involving a font that was not displayed properly in Acrobat Reader under Windows, but was OK in Linux / OSX....) PS : I may upload the .svg file somewhere, if some of you are curious ! Best regards& thanks again to the team ! Mahen *[Second mail : Broken PDF files produced] * Hi again ! I would like to add some more data to my previous mail. I'm using Inkscape 0.48. I assumed the faulty PDF file I obtained was due to my modifying the XML file directly. But it's actually not the case as it also happens with another document I didn't modify this way. Please let me show you some sample files : 1)http://mahen.free.fr/inkscape/Plaquette%20-%20Int%c3%a9rieur.svg as you can see, there is in the bottom right corner a polygon which is filled with a pattern which contains many spirals 2)http://mahen.free.fr/inkscape/Plaquette%20-%20Int%c3%a9rieur.pdf here is the resulting PDF On my computer : - the PDF takes about 5 to 10 seconds before being displayed !! (core2duo 3 GHz, 4 GB RAM). While the PDF file produced by inDesign (from which I exported this svg before modofying it under Inkscape) was displayed instantly (but, the inkscape produced .pdf was almost 10 times heavier, it seems a couple of parts were converted to bitmaps, I wonder why). - the bottom-right pattern is invisible (under evince / Ubuntu 10.10) when looking from far away. When zooming in, you can make out the polygon shape but it's filled with some kind of random pattern - if I scroll in the document, from the PDF reader, it even makes it *crash* and slows down my system a lot ! (of course, there was no display problem under Inkscape itself) It seems using some exported .svg files definitely don't please Inkscape a lot. Or this kind of patterns at least... PS : I provided some font files used by the document in http://mahen.free.fr/inkscape/ Thanks ever so much for reading this ! Mahen

Layermanager and germanmailinglist?
by Axel Richter 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi inkscapedevs. I would be happy if the Layer Manger would be further developed. So that you create in a main layer can still flat. More specifically, if I want to put on an object shadows or highlights. Which are then all in the layer of the object. Another thing would be if it were still a German mailing list. Is it possible to care for something or just want to be? Thanks for help -- www.airwaveindehouse.com +3D+Vector+
