Small bump. Any help would be appreciated. Should I just try to turn the args into STRING types and manually parse the INT values somewhere?

Web development feature : SVG to HTML
by sagar acharya 29 May '20

29 May '20

Dear developers, Firstly awesome awesome software. I used to use AI but as soon as I saw Inkscape, switched to this despite some change in familiarity. I will always switch from proprietary to libre tool wherever possible. I request you to add a feature where the SVGs would directly export as HTML or HTML+CSS code. Since there are plenty of web designers out there, this would be a very useful resource. Thanking you Sagar

[feature] Export PNG / bulk generation
by Florent Mathis 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hello, In my use of Inkscape, I use the "export png image" feature from the vector drawing to a specific size. However, I systematically use the generation multiple times because I work with standardized sizes. I use it on my website to pick the smallest appropriate image. I am thinking of evolving the export feature to have predefined sizes and being capable of generating all the images at once. For instance, by selecting a generation profile and a destination folder. Do you guys think that this feature may be useful for the software? ++ Florent ps: I haven't yet developed on this software and I'd be happy to have a little bit of coaching for the beginning. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Garanti sans virus. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

need help implementing command line args
by intricate machinations 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi, For a personal project I'm trying to add the advanced png export options as commandline args. I've got most of it working, but am now getting blocked by a weird issue when trying to use 0 (zero) as an input value for an OPTION_TYPE_INT argument. If the value is zero, the argument doesn't get added to the options VariantDict (I check this in inkscape-application.cpp around line 1500). If i use any other int value it does get passed along. The reason this is causing me problems is, I add options like the the antialiasing settings and those are based on zero-indexed enums, but don't use 0 as a default. This means I can't just set default value to zero in the InkFileExportCmd struct (as happens for margin ). Hopefully this makes sense to someone here. My background isn't cpp so I'm probably missing something simple (although I did briefly go over the glib source code as well lol). If I can get something working I'll contribute of course. Thanks for any help. Regards, Mac

Fwd: more svg animation updates.
by NASA Jeff 21 May '20

21 May '20

find some discussion about what's required to implement animation in different ways.. it all boiled down to either writing a bespoke animation engine or writing an SVG DOM it turned out that the SVG DOM is a lot smaller and easier to implement than expected. this makes thew javascript path viable and gives a usable industry-standard API for third parties to use. One benefit of going the javascript route is that it makes it possible for interactive SVG to be written. this would take inkscape to the level of a flash replacement. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: NASA Jeff <tallboy258(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 at 16:06 Subject: Re: more svg animation updates. To: inkscape-devel <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> SMIL 3.0 Animation looking through SMIL specification the key benefits over javascript are, not requiring a bulky,. 3rd part engine and simplicity of parsing. The downside are that you have to implement an animation engine, they are already available for js and SMIL complete and tested of you take the javascript path but once a bespoke animation engine has been created it can also be used for CSS another downside when compared to js is that SMIL isn't as feature-rich. it's also going to be fun reflecting changes of object details on the canvas with each animation in it own little thread and sometimes having keyframes sometimes not. There's little difference in all the work to hook up the GUI between js and SMIL, they support the same features and activities in general. looking at the two roadmaps the traid off is the difficulty parsing javascript to extract the details of the animation vs the mission of implementing a bespoke animation engine. the javascript path also gives you both SMIL and javascript with little extra effort. Nothing is lost if the javascript in a file can't be parsed sufficiently well as inkscape would revert back to it's old self, with animation disabled, and just be an SVG editor. The javascript could also be edited in a code editor in inkscape and the play feature still available to play the animations, the javascript code editor could also have features designed for editing animation information meaning inkscape would still be better than nothing for js animation it just would have full GUI integration.

Fwd: SpiderMonkey vs V8
by NASA Jeff 21 May '20

21 May '20

Spidermonkey doesn't seem too hard to integrate, creating a shim for a javascript a library that provides an API for Inkscape hopefully shouldn't be too tricky and possible with a few precompiler directives in the code and a script https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/How_… Spidermonkey looks a little short on documentation especially when it comes to C/JaverScript interoperability. V8 maybe seems a little trickier to embed, only a little not a great deal but has good, clear documentation. it is however C++ base, so it how well that mixes with Inkscape's choice of c https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+/branch-heads/6.8/samples/hello-wo… do it's going to take some searching for documentation and examples of wrapping up c for javascript and javascript for c to determine which one will embed the nicest based on hope Inkscape's SPI is implemented and also look at debugging support and any other featurtes

Legacy Gradient Editor
by Alex Valavanis 14 May '20

14 May '20

Hi All, Can we drop this old dialog now? It has effectively been deprecated for the last couple of releases and I don't think it has any functionality that hasn't been replaced by GradientToolbar. I'm currently migrating the PaintSelector and friends to C++ so I'd prefer to kill the old dialog at this stage rather than maintain it! AV

Hi all, I've merged quite a few updates today, including the use of c++17 as per the previous discussion (thanks Linkmauve), and the change of 2geom inclusion to a submodule (Thanks Sergei Izmailov). So you're likely to get a CMake error on your next compile, which should be solved with a "git submodule init; git submodule update;" Thanks, -- Marc

Inkscape 1.0 - Icon size woes.
by David C. Rankin 06 May '20

06 May '20

All, I have loaded Inkscape 1.0 both on windows and on Linux (Arch). I have both on my laptop. The biggest problem is that toolbars that used to fit properly now spill-over into elipsized menus and the spacing between the rulers and icons are now double what it was before. In 92.5 the interface showed 24 icons on the vertical toolbars. In 1.0 only 17 are visible. (despite all icons sizes being set to "smaller" in preferences) On Arch I have the Adwaita icon them (about all that is available anymore). On Windows I guess it comes with the icons. Both interfaces are almost identical in the size growth of the icon size and the ruler-to-iconbar spacing. This isn't a problem unique to Inkscape. All apps making the Gtk+2 to Gtk+3 jump have faced the issue. Gimp, Mozilla, Geany, etc.. and most have found a way to solve the problem. I know it is frustrating for you as well, but for small screens like laptops -- it is a big issue. css doesn't provide a solution a global solution, despite the Gtk+3 documentation pointing in that direction with https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkToolbar.html Searching, there are old solutions suggesting entries in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/setting.ini similar to: gtk-icon-sizes = panel-menu=16,16:panel=16,16:gtk-menu=16,16:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:gtk-button=16,16 Gimp 2.10 has somehow solved this issue so that interface is comparable to Gtk+2 and will still allow pickup of the Gtk+2 themes. I'm not sure how they did it. Whether they wrote a partial theme to handle it or what. I'll keep searching and I'll keep working with the interface to see if I can find something that can work. The actual solution needs to come from the gnome developers of Gtk+3 providing programatic control of the toolbar icon sizes rather than leaving them to be overridden by the themes. The fact that Gtk+3 was such a moving target for so long and the fact toolbar icon size has gone unaddressed this long is a shame. You all have put so much good work into Inkscape for the 1.0 release, it must be really frustrating that the new Gtk+ version doesn't provide near the polished look that Gtk+2 provided off the shelf. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Need help with random transform in cache
by Jabier Arraiza Cenoz 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hi all. I need help with this about random scaling of cached elements to document units. In the function "scheduleTransform" in "src/display/drawing- item.cpp:603" I recive randomly not scale/document scale affine in "ctm_change" var. Can anyone give a look I spend 2 days on it without result... to me is a 1.0 blocker. Asume you have this conditions to test: * Inkscape with cache enabled (size>0) * Document units diferent than pixels Testing: * Output the affine "ctm_change" prefiously mentioned. * Open inkscape. * Draw a bigest circle that cover your screen. * Create multiple text with click + type some leters as fast you can over the circle. When the circle become a box, see the output and you discober there is a diferent scaling with the doc scale, normaly is 0 scale. Thanks so much for get into, Jabier.

Inkscape 1.0-rc1 (Release Candidate) and Inkscape 0.92.5 released
by Marc Jeanmougin 12 Apr '20

================ Inkscape 1.0-rc1 ================ We are about to release the long-awaited Inkscape 1.0 version which has a ton of new features and most notably runs on GTK 3 to provide decent support for macOS and HiDPI screens.

Hi, is there any ongoing projects with goal of making inkscape also as modular UX/UI design tool ?
by cosmobird 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

in my search for foss design tool for UX/UI, Flow design and organization, so far only very few are available, out of that only few seems to be working (with some hardwork). but most of them are proprietary solutions or else oriented towards it. afaik, inkscape has better design features than any other design tool out there ... however it lacks a few features to make it as a design tool for any front end designer. those are : 1. svg to code conversion 2. library management for projects 3. parametric design convention 4. standard templates 5. animation if those are made available through python, then it will become invincible, and i dont know about akira so far, tried but failed to build several times in this year. like this : 1. select a target device, 2. choose a template dimension, 3. make flow for ux (from synthesized user flow in ux design with api), 4. collect/make icons, fonts, color palettes, 5. get standard components for the chosen device, 6. integrate together activity by activity in each discrete flow part of the 3 step. 7. convert every single ui from step 6 to css or android xml so that the layers, objects can be reused in Qt, Android, React. This would definitely give free software projects an upper hand among the developer community like Fdroid, and other web based projects. However some very few projects are avaible in FOSS with such ideas, are no where near to inkscapes design versality. regards cosmobird.

Inkscape devs, I was looking though the 1.0 Beta Release Notes, and came across screenshots showing the new Gtk+3 interface. I wanted to drop a note in the talk (discussion) section related to the need to control icon size as the current Gtk+3 icons take up roughly 200% of the equivalent Gtk+2 icons. Specifically looking at: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:Origin_in_upper_left_pa… This has been a huge problem for all applications that have attempted the Gtk+2 to Gtk+3 switch. As a result of the toolkit change, many of the icon bars that neatly fit in the space available on a laptop, now spill over into elipseized button menus and the actual drawing screen real-estate is reduced dramatically. Gimp has managed a reasonable balance where many other major apps and editors have failed. I would like to follow and contribute to the discussion on the upcoming 1.0 beta release on the wiki and would therefore request a wiki account (I'm a real breathing human and not a spam bot or spammer) Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
