[Inkscape] New From Template Dialog
by Albin Manoël 29 May '10

29 May '10

Hi developers, I try to work on New From Template Dialog You can see work progress here : http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/NewFromTemplateSpec So, I have some questions, all are written down on this page : http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Talk:NewFromTemplateSpec So you can read them and answer there, or simply answer me by mail. Questions are : About attributes Is it possible to add completely new attributes into a svg file ? like: <sodipodi:namedview inkscape:template-name="Web banner 728x90" inkscape:template-name-fr="Bannière Web 728x90" inkscape:template-category="Web/Banner" inkscape:template-description="A banner for a website, size: 728x90 px" ... /> Also, is "sodipodi:namedview" the correct markup for template attributes ? Categories names Translations Do we have to traduce categories names ? If yes, we can add new attributes in svg files, like : inkscape:template-category-fr="Fond d'écran" Notation Should we use underscore between words ? like : inkscape:template-category="Paper_sizes" or can we simply use: inkscape:template-category="Paper sizes" Keywords I think that keywords are optionals, because they must be traduced in too many languages. And there is categories in order to find templates. Should we use them or not ? Currents categories Background Is "background" the same category as "Desktop" ? Defaults "default_mm.svg" and "default_pt.svg" don't respect specifications. Must be "default.mm.svg" and "default.pt.svg". Is it correct ? Thanks you for all :-)

Devlibs updates
by Krzysztof Kosiński 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hello I made the following changes to the devlibs: 1. Upgrade Python to 2.6.5 2. Upgrade lxml to 2.2.4 3. Upgrade numpy to 1.4.1 4. Upgrade gettext-tools to 0.17 Please look for any breakage it might have introduced. The gettext tools update was a bit problematic and two versions of libintl are now contained in the build dir: one is being used by Inkscape and the GTK stack, and the second one by the gettext tools. Fixing this would require either convincing the gettext binaries to use the devlibs libintl, which I have no idea how to do, or rebuilding all other libraries to use the one built by gettext. In the longer run, I think that cross-compiling the devlibs from Linux might be less painful than recompiling them as needed in MSYS (mainly because MSYS is excruciatingly slow and sometimes doesn't work). Regards, Krzysztof

Showstopper bug
by bulia byak 28 May '10

28 May '10

This is easily a no-go for the release: - with Pen or Pencil, draw anything in Spiro mode (any other LPE would do the same) - clone (alt+d) - select original and try to move it by arrow key - watch Inkscape freeze and die an out-of-memory death, apparently in some kind of infinite recursion. I suspect this has something to do with LPE stack cloning that Johan recently worked on, but as I don't watch commits as closely as I would like lately, I also cc: others who did some nontrivial changes. Let's get this fixed quickly :) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Hi, Another check-markup related issue: I've just activated gettext context macro C_() support in po/Makevars in order to include all the status bar messages added in the new node tool, but check-markup now returns an error message for each string, translated or not: ... fr.po: Not in msg format: #: ../src/ui/tool/transform-handle-set.cpp:479 msgctxt "Transform handle tip" msgid "<b>Rotation center:</b> drag to change the origin of transforms" msgstr "" I guess it is related to the new msgctxt line. Bug again, I'm really not a Perl expert... Could you please see if you can fix this issue? Regards, -- Nicolas

Inkscape 0.48pre0
by Ted Gould 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hey all, I did the release this afternoon, but realized I forgot to write the e-mail! :) None the less, I put together a pre0 release for the upcomming 0.48. Please if packages could look at it and ensure that they can build their package FROM THE TARBALL that would be great for making sure the tarball is useful. Links: https://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48pre0/ MD5: 273b3a032a57e8c557ebfac750d4572e inkscape-0.48pre0.tar.bz2 9cb002bd9ac0c3613ef435fd98551e06 inkscape-0.48pre0.tar.gz 332c4028f582f48e1587c232009a8886 inkscape-0.48pre0.zip --Ted PS - Odd to me is that there's already 72 downloads of the source!

The path to FREEZE... Woohoo!
by Joshua A. Andler 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hey all, We're roughly 6 weeks behind the proposed schedule... not good, but could be worse. If we stick to it, things could shape up nicely. A quick update... here is the one thing that MUST be done before moving to Freeze... posting of an "alpha" tarball. The following outstanding issues HAVE to be addressed to not be cut (and most unfortunately have not been addressed fully during Frost): *Jon's swatches MUST be initially editable in the F&S dialog. *Jon's new Input Devices dialog needs whatever polish to be good enough (I saw regressions from 0.47 mentioned recently in the tracker). *Jon's "UX" work (specifically UI placement needs to be settled). *Tavmjong's LinuxFund text tool work (we'll take what we can get, great progress has been made!). *Felipe Sanches' color management work. The "not real" (device) cmyk thing MUST be addressed prior to release. I'm not saying to remove, but perhaps disable, it is a part of the SVG spec, but it's not how the CMYK workflow actually works. Now is the time to bring up other possibly blocker bugs. Please speak up... things that can be fixed in point releases and that aren't critical/high priority should not be brought up. Cheers, Josh

>De : Lucas Vieites <lucasvieites@...400...> >Would it work to use the < and > entities in the original strings? The original string is already "<width>x<height>". intltools extract it as "<width>x<height>" to the pot file, which is the correct behavior. The issue is due to the check-markup perl script, which detects "invalid" markups in the translated strings (or markups which are not correctly closed, etc.). And <width> and <height> are not allowed by the script... Regards. -- Nicolas

I suck at Perl (or check-markup)
by Ted Gould 21 May '10

Hey, So I was trying to make a release but the check-markup script is failing because of the strings "<width>x<height>" which it thinks is a tag. I tried fixing the check-markup script to ignore this, but well, read the subject :) Could someone who knows Perl help out here?

Coding style question
by unknown＠example.com 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi all, Is it good practice to start class member variables with an underscore? The reason I ask is for ambiguity in a function in a class that is derivative of SPObject. class SPObject has member "repr". So now if I subclass from that and add a method to my class like "sp_do_something(XML::Node repr)", there is an ambiguity in the method. Perhaps underscoring the class member variables is better... Ciao, Johan

Snapping options anomalies? - Selector tool
by Mihaela 18 May '10

18 May '10

What is the policy on snapping nodes to stuff when dragging the whole object (Selector tool) VS snapping only nodes to stuff (Node tool)? There are some things I'm confused about, some of them might be bugs, others might just be my misinterpretation. Enable "Snapping nodes or handles" and try to snap cusp or smooth nodes using Node tool to a guide, everything works as expected, they snap and the tooltip is correct. If I convert a node to Symmetric it snaps to the guide but the tooltip says "Cusp node to guide". If I convert a node to Auto-smooth it snaps to the guide but the tooltip says "Smooth node to guide". Now with the same setting (Snapping nodes or handles) use Selector tool to move the object around and snap it's nodes to the guide. Snapping sharp cusp nodes works and the tooltip is correct. Snapping cusp nodes that were converted from smooth (so their handles are collinear) doesn't work, even if you move a handle just a bit so handles aren't collinear. Symmetric nodes don't snap. Auto-smooth nodes don't snap. When I add the "Snap to smooth nodes" into play then smooth nodes snap to the guide when using Selector tool, but the tooltip says "Cusp node to guide". It's the same with symmetric and auto-smooth nodes - they snap but the tooltip says cusp. No snapping occurs if I use "Snap to cusp nodes" instead of "Snap to smooth nodes" when trying to snap smooth, symmetric or auto-smooth node using Selector (cusp nodes snap correctly even without this option). It's the same when I want to snap to paths or path intersections (Selector tool), I need to have "Snap to smooth nodes" enabled to do it with nodes that aren't obviously cusp. When snapping to path intersection is on, when trying to snap to a cusp node the tooltip says it's snapping to "path intersection" instead of "to cusp node" and it happens with "Snap to cusp nodes" disabled. Unrelated to this but related to gradients snapping - when creating a gradient start stop snaps but the gradient can't be created. You have to click next to the snapping point and not directly on it to make it work. Is this expected? This is all tested on 9425 but some of it behaves the same in 0.47. Mihaela

Tool Order

Hi, I propose to change the tool order to move the spray tool down and the text tool up a bit. The spray tool is quite neat but I can't imagine using it more than the text tool! The specific order would be: Selector Node Tweak Zoom Rectangle Box Circle/Ellipse Star/Polygon Spiral Pencil Pen Calligraphy Text Spray Eraser Bucket Fill Gradient Dropper Connector Tav

gradient mesh
by sid datta 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, Are we still waiting for the SVG standards before we can implement gradient meshes ? I have a ( pretty simple and obvious ) method of rendering gradient meshes that is simpler than blurring multiple beziergons and is quite fast ( 100 ms in Java rendering 500x500px approx ), I was wondering if we start putting a basic gradient mesh in inkscape and we can conform/export to the SVG format when it comes out. I believe we are trying to get a triangle gradient primitive approved from SVG. Do we have any plans of getting a quadrilateral primitive ? It will be more accurate for gradient mesh. This paper I found explains some quadrilateral rendering techniques : http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/publications/papers/quadrendering.pdf Thanks -Sid

Export Page to PDF
by Mihaela 17 May '10

17 May '10

When exporting to PDF with the Page option it appears correctly in PDF readers, you only see the page area, but when you import the document back into Inkscape the objects outside the Page area are still there. Is this what it's supposed to work? I'd expect that everything outside the Page area gets discarded. Mihaela

NEW: Pseudo unified console / GUI app on Windows
by Krzysztof Kosiński 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hello Starting with revision 9251, it's possible to open cmd.exe, type "inkscape" while having Inkscape's installation directory in PATH, and get a working console-mode executable. This is done by shipping a slightly modified version of the well-known inkscapec.exe helper, renamed to inkscape.com and placed in the same directory as inkscape.exe. This approach looks a bit hacky, but it's used by several of Microsoft's tool that also implement both GUI and command line mode. Regards, Krzysztof

icon-names.h
by bulia byak 05 May '10

05 May '10

This file explains itself thus: * This file exists for several reasons: firstly, it contains all the icon names * in Inkscape, so it can serve as a reference to themers. Secondly, using * macros instead of strings avoids typos. Thirdly, we can change names * to conform to external icon sets / specifications without changing any code. Let's look: - Before, all the icon references were also in one place - in verbs.cpp, where they were adjacent to other verb metadata and thus easier to understand. - Before, to add a new verb with an icon, I had to add icon ID in one place. Now I have to add icon ID _and_ the define name. How is this better for typos? - icon-names.h is "code" just as well - at least if you change it, you have to recompile. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Please see (and comment) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/463814. The "Unimount" about screen is a typical case. "Draw Freely" is very well integrated in the drawing and will be very difficult to translate.

Hi all, Although py2geom (python functions of 2geom) is still in development and not fully functional, I'd like to discuss how to include it in Inkscape. Should we include it in our releases, or should users install it by themselves? (note on Windows, py2geom is 16MB large; I do not know why it is so large). Cheers, Johan

Inkscape(Quartz) crahes sometimes when opening files
by Janosch Peters 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hi there, Im trying to get the native (non-X11) inkscape version working. I first tried the version from macports. However, it crashed about half of the time when I wanted to open an SVG file. I then tried to compile it manually following the instructions on the inkscape wiki http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX. The section where it says "Building Aqua from scratch, 2010". Unfortunately, I get the very same error. More or less every second time I open a SVG file inkscape crashes. See the console output and the crash report below. I only postet the part of the crash report which looked relevant to me. If you need more detailed logs, let me know. The X11 version runs fine, by the way. Except that there are other bugs making copy & paste unusable. cheers, Janosch Console output: ====================================== Janoschs-MacBook:Inkscape.app jp$ Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape Setting Language: de_DE.UTF-8 cp: /Users/jp/Code/inkscape/myproject/packaging/macosx/Inkscape.app/ Contents/Resources/etc/pango/pangox.aliases: No such file or directory /Users/jp/.inkscape-etc/gtkrc:56: Clearlooks configuration option "menuitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored. /Users/jp/.inkscape-etc/gtkrc:57: Clearlooks configuration option "listviewitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored. /Users/jp/.inkscape-etc/gtkrc:58: Clearlooks configuration option "progressbarstyle" is not supported and will be ignored.
