TO THE DEVS — DECISION ABOUT LGM 2011
by Louis Desjardins 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

TO THE DEVS. Hi guys, In the light of the proposed Guidelines for Organising LGM http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011 it would be great to know, as a team, if : a) You have enough information to make a call on the proposed LGM venues for 2011? if not, what are you missing? b) You had enough time for a round of internal discussions to see whether a significant portion of your team will make it to any of the 3 possible venues? If not, how much time would you like to have for such a round before making it a team decision? c) You are in the end satisfied by the process? if not please give some hints on how to improve this process. d) You are ready to make your call about the venues? if yes, please make it now, if not please tell us when, and maybe why! Parallel questions: e) Do you think the guidelines are helpful? if not, are they useless? can we improve them or should we simply remove the code? f) What do you think of the bidding process? Should we keep it as it is, a one-year process? or should we make it a two-year process? And do you think again you have enough information to make a real choice? Please explain. Thanks for getting back asap. Louis Each of the venues have a page on the Create Wiki: Brasil: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011_Brasil_Bid Canada: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011_Montréal_Bid<http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011_Montr%C3%A9al_Bid> Vietnam: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011_Vietnam_Bid

compilation of Inkscape on win64
by Kris De Gussem 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hi all I tried to compile inkscape on vista64, following the information on http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Win32Port. I downloaded both the 32 bit and the experimental 64 bit TDM-MinGW 4.5.0. With both distributions it was a no go. Building buildtool.cpp fails. Has anyone having similar experiences? Any suggestions (is it known not to work with MinGW 4.5.0, but with the former 4.4.1 release?)? Thanks a lot. Regards Kris PS: I started exploring compiling on windows, because the dev-version on http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D is a bit outdated ;-)

extension autocompletion on save
by Michael Grosberg 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

I only tested it on Windows but as far as I can tell, if you save a file and don't explicitly type the extension, the file will be saved without one, so instead of "myfile.svg" you only get "myfile" and then the OS doesn't recognize it as an SVG file. It would be nice if the dialog recognized when no extension was typed and would add it to the file name according to the "save as type" combo box.

Fwd: Cairo rendering progress
by bulia byak 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Guys, Please check out Krzysztof's work so far. Flat color, gradients, and now patterns are already rendered with cairo; clips and masks, filters are off. lp:~tweenk/inkscape/gsoc-cairo The most exciting is that in my testing, on flat color and gradient files it's now faster very noticeably, from 30% to twice as fast depending on file and resolution. It's with cairo 1.8.8, no GPU acceleration (which as far as I know is not usable until cairo 1.10 anyway). -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Hello Developers, I was looking at the old files I do see that the node and a few others are with only four fingers as per Bug #598821 on launchpad I might be wrong on this, but it's been that way for awhile. check here please. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/598821 I have a branch for the new ones I have completed them. I have a few tools I have added to my version of Inkscape I will double check them and give descriptions for these tools on launchpad for a possible inclusion. I am also back on board to helping with bugs, fixes, and new features translations as well if needed. P.S. As for testing I have some new systems to try it on.

PDF+LaTeX: extension of tex file?
by unknown＠example.com 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

Hi all, I have an important question about the extension of the generated TeX file when using the PDF+LaTeX option. Right now, it generates an imagename.pdf file and an imagename.tex file. However, if a user has chosen the same name for the image as his tex document file, the tex file is overwritten. A suggestion at Launchpad proposes to create not a .tex file but a .pdf_tex file instead. I am inclined to go with this option, as this also enables use of different export settings for pdf+latex and ps+latex and eps+latex... Thanks for your quick input, Johan __________________________________________ ir. J.B.C.

Extended Input settings not stored permanently
by Alexander Roalter 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

The input devices settings (for extended input, e.g. tablet) have changed some time ago to a different format. Now, I can set the stylus device to Screen to have it pressure sensitive as expected, and it is also stored as this in the preferences.xml, but on reload if forgets this setting. My stylus device is called Stylus0, the eraser Eraser0. Setting the eraser to screen mode, in the preferences.xml I see something like <group keys=";;;;;... axes="x;y;pressure;xtilt;ytilt;wheel" mode="screen" id="E:Eraser0" /> but no such entry for stylus or Stylus0 exists and is created... -- cheers, Alex

Inkscape Extension Developers
by Christoph Sterz 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hi, First of all and because I am new to this list I want to thank the Inkscape Developers for their awesome work they did. I was recently programming an extension for Inkscape and so I had different (general and specific) questions: - Is there a group of developers, who are just or mainly doing their work on extensions ? - Is the idea of extensions still in the roadmap of Inkscape? - What criteria _do_ extensions have to fulfill to get into the next release ? - Is there a kind of an Extension-Repo ? - And is it planned to include Extensions into Inkscape like we all know it from Firefox (Online -Repo connected to the program itself or Online-Repo providing "one click" installation. Again, thumbs up for all developers - developing an extension was very easy and understandable. cheers, _Christoph

SVG Working Group
by Tavmjong Bah 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hi all, I've just been accepted as an "Invited Expert" to the SVG working group to represent Inkscape's interests in the evolution of the SVG standard. There seems to be a renewed effort to get a new standard out the door. The plan is to publish independently a number of "closely-tied" modules that will be bundled eventually as SVG 2.0. This is your chance to influence what that standard will be. I've started a Wiki page to facilitate this work: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SVG_WorkingGroup Please add to the page your observations of problems with the current standard and what you want in the future standard.

to: AurИlio A. Heckert <aurium@...400...> Hello! We want to push our 'gcodetools' (bzr lp:gcodetools) extension to the base Inkscape distribution. 1. Are we too late to be in the 0.48 release? 2. What should we do to put our extension into the public Inkscape releases? > > ?- What criteria _do_ extensions have to fulfill to get into the next > > release ? > I think that must works on any OS (using the python standards > from other extensions will help) and be accepted by a developer. > You may submit it as a patch on the tracker. > > But not for the 0.48, because we are in the string freeze.

Inkscape 0.48 Release Status Update
by Joshua A. Andler 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hey All, I just wanted to let people know that we still have a couple blocker bugs that are actively being worked on. I got most of the "device-cmyk" issue worked out. Jon has my patch to see if he can sort the last issue (or point me in the right direction). Jon is also close to having the custom swatch issues sorted. I currently have 3 screenshots that I need to do writeups on and post. If anyone has any screenshots to contribute, particularly showing off the spray tool or enhanced text functions, that would be incredibly helpful. Cheers, Josh

SVG transform + stroke
by Krzysztof Kosiński 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hello Here is a simple question about SVG. Let's assume I have a circle which has a thick stroke. Then I put it in a group which has a transform attribute that specifies 0.5x scale in the horizontal direction. When the drawing is rendered, should the stroke of the circle be thinner on the sides or have an uniform width? Regards, Krzysztof

freehand dot bug
by unknown＠example.com 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi all, I just found a bug that is perhaps a blocker. Drawing dots with ctrl+click with freehand tool works splendid, but for saving files. Saving and reopening a file with these dots, moves the dots to a different place (and mirrors them). It makes the ctrl+click functionality unusable (or at least very cumbersome to use). Ciao, Johan

Output selected items through .py extension
by Jonatã Bolzan 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

HI there I want to know if there is the possibility to get the ids of the selected items in an extension that is an "output" extension. I'm developing an extension and I just need to get the ids. The extension is located in "File - Save As...", not in the "Extensions" menu. This is the problem? I've tried somethings like: self.selected.iteritems() self.selected but just got empty lists and dicts. Thanks for the attention.

SVG1.1F2 and expanded W3C test suite.
by Tavmjong Bah 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

Hi, The SVG working group is in the final stages of publishing SVG1.1F2, an update to the original SVG1.1 specification. It has just gone out for "Last Call". At the same time the SVG test suite has been expanded. I have modified the test suite to include Inkscape output. You can look at the results at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/W3C_SVG_1.1F2/harness/htmlInkscape/index.h… Note, I have not removed the tests that are not applicable to Inkscape (animation, etc.). Also, many of the tests are not finalized and some of the reference PNG's are missing. Tav

I've had a look at it right after LGM and for someone who knows how to get the current keybinding it shouldn't be too difficult. If you look in verbs(.cpp|.h) there is a get_tip method that looks like the perfect candidate to inject the current keybinding.

just curious
by bulia byak 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

A question for C++/gtkmm gurus: Why do we have to have ALL widgets of a dialog declared in an .h file? They aren't usable outside the dialog anyway. In general, while I appreciate many advantages of C++, the way it is used with gtkmm for Inkscape's dialogs is a major annoyance. A lot more typing in a lot more places than when using simple gtk where you can declare, create, and show a widget in a single spot in code. Is there some grand vision behind this that I'm missing? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Hi Folks, I'm new to this list and community, and I hope this is interesting for you. I am developing a novel way to do anti aliased 2d graphics that breaks away from pixel coverage and super sampling, while being simpler and providing higher quality. Please take a look at http:www.jvuletich.org , especially at the samples. Comments welcome. Cheers, Juan Vuletich

Spray tool shorcut
by Nicolas Dufour 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi all, All tools are bound to key shortcuts, except one: the spray tool. "s" is already used by the selector, and thus I suggest that we use "a' (airbrush) or, if we want to use a F key, Shift+F3, Shift+F5 or Shift+F8 (the only free Shift+F keys). What do you think? Regards, -- Nicolas
