0.47 X11 Tiger build ahead ?
by Wolf Drechsel 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

Hello friends, is anybody planning to compile a 0.47 Mac OS X X11 version? I'd like to focus on the aqua thing - but if nobody has a Tiger machine running, I would start struggling with trees, variants and all these things I hardly have any idea about… Greetings, Wolf

inkscape aqua Mac OS X: success…
by Wolf Drechsel 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hello friends, hard to belive - my G4 built a working inkscape-aqua.app. One probabely quite small bug: When launching, it launches the X11 environment as well. That can be quitted without any negative side effects - can anyone give me a hint? - My dilettanteish attempt to just throw out the "start X11" section from "script" makes the app unable to launch… Special thanks to ~suv and Jean-Oliver, how carefully guided me all the way down… Very happy greetings, Wolf Download it here: http://verkehrsplanung.com/inkscape_047_aqua.zip Other known issues: Only one file can be kept open at a time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487144 Menu items containing submenues are not displayed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487427 Selecting files in the "open" oder "import" dialogues can take quite a lot of time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/438603 "Ctrl" shortcuts are not mapped to "cmd" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/442835 Importing bitmaps makes inkscape crash: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/488601

Moving to Bazaar (not yet)
by Ted Gould 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

As we've released this is when we were planning on moving to Bazaar. I currently don't have that perfectly the way that I want. Basically, because we have the webpage and everything in SVN, the Bazaar import pulls all of that into the repository. This makes the repository larger than it needs to be. I can pull out trunk, but then I loose the branch associations with the various branches we've made off of trunk. I've got a few things left to try that the Bazaar team has suggested. If it takes more than a day or two, I'll just upload the full repository. I think that making it smaller is an optimization worth trying for, but not a requirement. I just wanted to tell people where I am on it. --Ted

OS X native in the future?
by Jmx 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hi everyone, And a serious thanks to all who contribute to this wonderful program :handshake: I used Inkscape before in windows but have since then left windows for OS X and now use it there. Only thing is that Inkscape felt and behaved as a normal program in windows but just doesn't do that under X11 in OS X... it's slow and shortcuts are wrong. Are there any chance of a real OS X native version in the future? I'm for one would happily pay for a good native version of Inkscape rather than use another program. Best regards -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/OS-X-native-in-the-future--tp26495625p26495625.html Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Inkscape 0.47 Downloads Page - Translations needed
by Joshua A. Andler 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hey Translators, I have updated the downloads page for 0.47 located at: /inkscape_web/trunk/download/download-en.inc It appears that we have had cs, de, es, fr, it, ja, and ru translations in the past just so people are aware. Also, my grep skills seem to be failing me as I can't find the file which contains the version information "$actual_version". So, if anyone knows where this is located or has better luck finding it, if you could bump it to 0.47 that would be appreciated. (I will continue looking though) Cheers, Josh

scroll horizontally by mouse wheel
by Wolf Drechsel 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hello everybody, on my box (Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, PPC), the scrolling horizontally with "shift-mouse wheel" doesnt work - neither in X11 nor in aqua, neither 0.46 not 0.47. I found a gtk-bug on that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/3644 but nothing in the inkscape bug tracker. Could it be a configuration issue? - I the box "mouse wheel zooms instead of scrolling" in "scrolling" is unchecked. Greetings, Wolf

Trunk is NOT open, please stop committing!
by Joshua A. Andler 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Sorry to yell... but seriously people, everyone needs to be patient. We are switching to a dvcs as mentioned numerous times. If we need to disable offending committers on SF SVN to get people to adhere to this, so be it, but I would rather avoid that. As mentioned a few times now, a notice will be sent to the devel list when trunk re-opens for development. No such notice has been sent. Please make no further changes until a notice is sent out. Again, we are sorry about the delay in this transition to bazaar but there is a desire to do a few things in a more friendly way if at all possible. Ted, will these commits affect anything negatively? (I can't imagine so, but I figured I would ask) Cheers, Josh

Can't edit the wiki - content gets erased when saving
by Lucas Vieites 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi, I trying to create this wiki page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047-es with the copied content from http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047 but when I save the content keeps getting erased and appears completely blank. This only happens when I copy the complete text of the original release notes, not when I copy small parts of it. I seems to break at a certain number of characters. Is this a known behaviour? (I'm using Firefox 3.0.13 on Suse Linux) If this persists, what can I do? Should I breakthe Release notes in two pages? Thanks, -- Lucas Vieites Blog: http://blog.codexion.com/

Packages and Future releases
by Joshua A. Andler 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hey All, I think we should have a strategy for future releases where all packages are uploaded at once (perhaps a private staging area where packagers upload to first). We have had a bunch of release "announcements" and links to the packages on SF showing up on Twitter. It would be nice to control this better in the future. Cheers, Josh

Quicktorials - ID
by Robert Martinez 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi there, I need advice! I'm working on a new system that can provide free software GUI applications (like Inkscape, Scribus, GIMP, ...) with video tutorials directly linked to the GUI. Short: you click on an unknown button - and a browser pops up and shows what it does (html5/ogg-theora). My question concerns the identifier that links the functional part of the application to the video: How do you think such an ID should look like? You can also have a look at http://wiki.quicktorials.org to see what ideas were raised so far, or you can see the website in its early stage http://quicktorials.org. I would love to see a a standard that is easy to use by any project! Greetings from Germany, Robert

File Export (Save-As) Tests for v0.47
by Tavmjong Bah 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hi, I've tested all the various file export options under the Save As command. Would the relavent experts for each type please review my comments/questions below? All test were done with Fedora 9 Linux and 0.46+svn updated within the past couple of days. Thanks. Tav General comment: I am having trouble getting Uniconvertor to work from within Inkscape. It won't process files with text (error message about not finding correct font). Files without text produce SVG output (Uniconvertor 1.1.4), independent of which file type is selected. Or error message about not finding SVG file in /tmp (Uniconvertor 1.1.3). I may have screwed something up but Uniconvertor does work when used via the command line (as in "uniconv test.svg test.plt") to directly convert SVG files to other types. Does anybody have it working from within Inkscape under Linux? File Format: .ai: Missing. Failed to load message in extension-errors.log (same error for DXF and ESPI). Works in v0.46. .dfx: Generic AutoCAD export failed to load (see .ai). Plotter version updated. Question: what is the target if the "ROBO-Master output" option is not checked? .emf: Does this still only work on Windows? Uses Uniconvertor. .eps: This is using the same export dialog as PS. Is this appropriate given that the bounding box is handled differently? Speaking of which, while the specifications do say the bounding box should be the smallest rectangle that fully encloses the drawing, it is a common practice (and very useful in scientific work) to define the box to be bigger than the drawing. In reading the specification, it seems to me, that they were more concerned that the bounding box takes into account stroke width, etc. than in prohibiting bounding boxes larger than the drawing size. I think it should be left up to the user to decide this. In the past "Canvas" has been used to refer to the entire drawing area while "Page" has been used to refer to the SVG specified drawing area. The dialogs and command line options should use "Page" wherever "Canvas" is used. .fx I see small bugs in gradients and displaying a pattern. .gpl OK. .hpgl I see bugs in object transformations. Uniconvertor as of 1.1.4 also generates .hpgl files. Uniconvertor doesn't handle Inkscape circles. .odg. Small translation problems. .pdf. Generally OK. Bug in patterns made from a group of objects drawn off the page. Export dialog almost the same as for EPS and PS but small differences in wording and in order of options. Should match with EPS and PS dialog. .plt Uses Uniconvertor. Tool tip etc. state it is AutoCAD plot file... but this is really, as far as I can tell, just HPGL. .png Duplicates "Export Bitmap" menu entry but without handling Filtered objects. .pov Broken in v0.47. Extra lines are added to object descriptions. Works in v0.46 (some paths missing). .ps See EPS and PDF comments. .sk1 Uses Uniconvertor. .svg OK .svgz Broken in v0.47. Works in v0.46 .tex PSTricks OK, PSFrag needs work-around due to Cairo font subsetting. .xcf OK .wmf Uses Uniconvertor. .xaml Objects translated wrong (could be xaml input problem). .zip OK.
