Tango Icons Ready
by Krzysztof Kosiński 11 May '09

11 May '09

I have completed converting the Tango icon set made by Jesusda to discrete icons. The only missing icons are in the geometry tool (which doesn't seem to work anyway), but I'll add them shortly. Should I make it the default for Linux? This would be accomplished by installing the contents of a subdirectory named "tango" to $PREFIX/share/inkscape/icons/hicolor. Windows users would still see the "hicolor" directory, but could rename the tango directory to hicolor and see the Tango icons. Linux users could use the old icons by putting them in ~/.icons/OldInkscape and modifying the index.theme file to inherit from their theme of choice (Human, gnome, etc.). I'm preparing a README with detailed instructions.

Incorrect handling of <text> without <tspan>
by Jimmy 10 May '09

10 May '09

I have been working on a patch for bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/167904 sp_te_insert_line I basically created a working patch (excluding end of string line breaks and probably spacing issues). The patch checks if the text in contained in a text box is a child of <svg:text> instead of <svg:tspan> . If this is true a <tspan> is inserted as a child of the <text> and the string is transfered to become a child of the <tspan> . this This works but it fails for strange reasons. If the text box is selected and the cursor is moved over with the keyboard and a line break is inserted, inkscape crashes. I traced this back to a problem occurring with the Glib::ustring::iterator s being used. In the instances that the patch fails the iterator's values don't match up to their expected value. The problem also occurs after a line break, an undo, and a repeat of the line break. I'm fairly new to the code base so I may be doing things out of order or failing to call a necessary function. I'm not exactly sure why this is occurring after these actions are performed. What can I do to solve this issue. I have posted the code in question to the bug report. I have a feeling this problem is occurring from the layout obtained from the SPItem and the actions that occur afterwards. Thanks

message overwrites rotation value
by Jeremy C. Reed 09 May '09

09 May '09

I had a box that appear to be skewed. So I tried to grab and I saw numbers flashing on bottom window bar, but it kept getting overwritten with "Rectangle in layer Layer 1. Click selection to toggle scale/rotation handles." Maybe that message should go somewhere else? Or the rotation percentage should be displayed somewhere else? What is my workaround for now? Where can I see the number or where can I manually type it in? I am on inkscape-21256 (from yesterday's snapshot).

Re: [Inkscape-devel] win32 build broken test-stubs.cpp
by Bob Jamison 08 May '09

08 May '09

Jasper, hi, Well, I think (and this happens a lot) that this is the old symptom where the files which are compiled for win32 and those in the unix Automake files are not always in sync. So a person building on Linux or OSX might never see the problem. bob On 5/8/2009 3:26 AM, Jasper van de Gronde wrote: > > This makes me wonder if we can't set up some machine to regularly do > these tests (and the rendering tests as well while we're at it). > Running all the tests once a day (the unit tests take about a minute, > excluding build time) would already be an enormous improvement. Mozilla does this, with the results being automatically updated on their web site. Would be a good idea. bob

Deactivate knotholder?
by bulia byak 06 May '09

06 May '09

What is the purpose of this checkbox in LPE parameters? Does it work at all? I tried it with Knot, but checking it does not remove the knot on the intersection. I propose to remove it because it does not seem to serve a useful function, and because it uses the absolutely technical term "knotholder" which users have no idea about. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

That was a good find, Adib! :) Yes, adding test-stubs.cpp to the 'excludes' list does fix the build.

Bug Hunt for 0.47
by Joshua A. Andler 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hey All, As with other things, why fix what isn't broken? This release' bug hunt is a combination of the last two bug hunts in terms of functionality and scoring. Again, this is liberally recycling bryce's announcements. ;) Traditionally, we specify a point target for us to reach, and award us points based on the severity of the bug: 3, 6, 9, or 12 points for low, medium, high, and critical. This releases goal is again 500 points. We only give points for true bug fixes - not bugs simply closed due to being dupes, invalid, works-for-me, or whatnot. As with the last release, we won't count fixes to the website, translations, docs, and so on, we'll award points only for true code-level bug fixes. While our Frost goal is to close 500 points worth of *any* bug, when we get to Freeze our goal will be to have 0 Critical bugs, so efforts put into closing Crits will be doubly good! As with 0.45's bug hunt, we do want to encourage work on old bugs. So, points will be doubled for any bugs fixed that have been open for a year or more. Bug Hunt Goal: 500 points Current: 0 points Low: 3 - 6 pts Med: 6 - 12 pts High: 9 - 18 pts Critical: 12 - 24 pts We especially need testers (and bug fixers) for Windows and OSX. We have a tendency to have a number of platform specific bugs, so all the help we can get would be appreciated. If you are a Windows or OSX user, you too can be a big help, simply by browsing the bug tracker and see if you can reproduce the bug, and then add a comment on the bug one way or the other. No technical experience required. :-) I will be posting scoring as we have in the past. Note that the "current" score above is actually incorrect as a few bugs have been fixed since the Frost began. The first scoreboard will be posted by mid-week and will include all fixes since Frost began. Cheers, Josh

Easy community task - Social PR
by Joshua A. Andler 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hey All, With the About Screen Contest for 0.47 underway, one of the easiest things we all can do to help is to spread the word via social networking means. Whether it be blogging, tweeting (or RTs), posting on forums, you name it... the more of us that talk about, the more attention it will get. This contest PR effort could prove to be a good test of some of the needed PR mechanisms to make the announcement of 0.47 (when it is released) as loud, far reaching, and relevant as possible. So, again... the announcement which needs to be shown love (digg style button, yes it requires registration like digg) is here: http://news.deviantart.com/article/79268/ The more people that show the article love, the more people it will end up attracting the attention of on DA (which is important since it is the largest online art community/potential userbase). Want to help get us new users? This alone is one of the most effective methods. Note, even if you're not interested in signing up at DA to show love, you should still spread the word. :) Cheers, Josh P.S. Yes, I will put out a similar call to action when we're looking to do the PR push for the 0.47 release. Consider this our test run. :)

by Joshua A. Andler 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hey All, As mentioned in the proposed release schedule, this weekend, May 9-10 we will have a special effort to squash as many bugs as possible in a 48 hour period. If you can make time to participate it would be greatly appreciated by all. Even if you aren't a programmer, you can help to confirm that bugs are indeed fixed by others. Dates: May 9-10 Place: #inkscape on Freenode (or Jabber for the cool kids ;)) Goal: Fix at least a quarter of our goal of 500pts (125pts in 2 days). Reward: Being part of making 0.47 our best and most stable release ever. Be there or be square! Cheers, Josh

0.47 App Icon Proposal
by Jakub Steiner 04 May '09

04 May '09

I'd like to propose to ship v0.47 with a refreshed application icon. The proposed icon [1] includes special versions for low resolutions guaranteeing a sharp rendition and recognizability. Scaling down or rendering a high detail SVG into a small canvas ends up blurry and unreadable [2]. The icon feels close to being native on all the major platforms. The added high detail icon will make the Mac OS X builds feel less alien on that platform too. cheers [1] http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/24178/inkscape-app-icon-proposal.zip [2] http://www.firewheeldesign.com/sparkplug/2006/April/icon_design_bitmap_vs_v… -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac@...400...> http://jimmac.musichall.cz

save as convert text to path loses content
by Jeremy C. Reed 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Using inkscape 21256 from yesterday's snapshot. Doing a save as to save as PDF and selecting convert text to path makes me lose my content. Only part is rendered in the resulting PDF. I see this in multiple SVG projects. If I don't check that, the resulting file appears to be a bitmap. Now I realize that in that case the fonts where I added an outline using object Stroke are the ones that don't look good. The others look fine and pdffonts show me those are embedded. (That success is only without using convert text to path.) I found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/295138 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/284680 Inkscape has warnings: (inkscape:19722): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to find default local directory monitor type (inkscape:19722): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_grab_default: assertion `GTK_WIDGET_CAN_DEFAULT (widget)' failed ** (inkscape:19722): WARNING **: Ignoring font without family that will crash Pango Maybe they are related. It would be nice if above WARNING would say what font has the "without family" problem. Any ideas for this? As a workaround I may reopen in old 0.46 and save as PDF there. (I am using later development code due to can't change fill color in 0.46 version.)

It renders well in Inkscape, Opera and Firefox, but export to png is bad and never gives correctly the dark lines. I join you a file with three filters samples to apply to the embedded pictures. ivan ________________________________ De : the Adib <theadib@...1439...> À : inkscape-devel <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Envoyé le : Mercredi, 29 Avril 2009, 1h53mn 25s Objet : [Inkscape-devel] rendering quality for filter etc. There is this issue 322116 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322116 "PDF export does not use the highest quality for rasterized filters" The reason for this issue is that each nr_arena_item checks the preferences for the filter quality even for off screen rendering. This is wrong behaviour. During png export there is a sequence like this save, set ... rendering ... restore. This changes for a short moment the preferences. This is also not good style. (remember a background task renderin to png - in future) I developed a patch that is attached to the issue in launchpad. Attached patch puts render quality properties to nr_arena. You can do now "nr_arena_set_renderoffscreen(arena)" for an offscreen arena in order to get highest accuracy. please review!
