Hackfest dinner in Saarbrücken
by Tobias Ellinghaus 28 May '19

28 May '19

Hello, on Tuesday, 28th of Mai, the hackfest dinner is planned. I was asked to find some places where to go and came up with the following selection: - a typical local place with local food and good beer: http://www.der-stiefel.de/ - Mexican food: https://www.cafe-especial.com/ There are a ton of other places in that area of the city, but I'd suggest the Stiefel. If you want me to book a table for about 15 people I need to know soon. I'd also need to know a time, maybe 19:30 or 20:00? Tobias

Issue #195 proposed patch review request
by Guiu Rocafort Ferrer 27 May '19

27 May '19

Hi everyone, I've been looking at this issue for a while, and i believe i found a way to resolve it. I've posted a patch file in the Issue ticket ( https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/195 ). It's a fairly simple fix, but i was wondering if someone could have a look at it, and maybe give some feedback in case something is not right. Thank you Guiu Rocafort

Mailman3 rollout plan
by Bryce Harrington 26 May '19

26 May '19

In 2 weeks I'd like to complete the mailing list transition. That timeframe should put us past the hackfest and the June team meetings, so should be a minimal chance of project disruption. If no one raises an objection, I'll send out notices[1] to each list of the pending move this Monday evening. https://lists.inkscape.org is up and ready for use now - subscribe early if you'd like. On the transition day (Saturday, June 8th), I'll run the archives importer, send out the final move notices, and close the sourceforge mailing lists. If you have questions or run into problems, file a bug report (https://inkscape.org/report) and subscribe me. Thanks, Bryce 1: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/issues/46

Editing elliptical arc segments in paths
by Daniel Bailey 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hi All, I wrote a new feature for inkscape a while ago (3 years ago) but never got it upstreamed, partly because it had some obvious bugs. Recently I wanted to use this feature again so decided to fix the code and bring it up to date with the latest code base. I have now fixed the bugs I found previously. The code is much closer to a state where it could be upstreamed, but likely it will need some tweaks for usability. The most notable differences are; - Arc segments now get a pair of handles at right angles to each other, to manipulate the two radii of the ellipse and the rotation of the ellipse. - Arc segments are no longer automatically converted to beziers upon editing a path - Arc segments can be converted to beziers using the "make segments smooth" button - Dragging the line of an arc segment will not manipulate the segment like it will if the segment is a line or a bezier (and therefore not all segments can be dragged, whereas they could before) (maybe a different behaviour is desired here) - The arc flags (the large flag and sweep flag) can be set using new buttons in the node toolbar I'm still a new contributor, so let me know what I should do next. I guess I need to create a merge request on gitlab? Thanks. Dan. (Currently the code is here: https://gitlab.com/danieljabailey/inkscape/tree/danieljabailey_arc_node_edi… ) (Previous discussion can be found in the messages from 2016 in these search results: https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/search/?q=Arcs+in+the+path+edito… )

Location and start of SB hackfest
by Tobias Ellinghaus 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hello again, the Saarbrücken hackfest is approaching fast. On Monday, 27th, I will be there at 09:00 o'clock, from then on the doors will be open and everyone is free to come. The address is Ufergasse 2 66111 Saarbrücken It's a kind of hidden door between a casino and an adult video store, just step close to it and it will open on its own. There is a lift in the far right corner of the entrance room, or you can take the stairs on the right. The office is in the 2nd floor (German counting, Americans would call it the 3rd floor). The button in the lift says, among others, "2" (duh), "U2 Raum" and "K8 gGmbH". I will add some photos to the wiki page later. In case someone wants to get into the office on Sunday already, just ping me and I can arrange something. For those that are in the city on Sunday and don't know what to do, I'd suggest going for a drink in the evening. Tobias PS: If anyone needs any help or information regarding the hackfest, traveling in Germany or local customs I am sure I can help.

Super node snapping
by David Mathog 09 May '19

09 May '19

Inkscape currently has a way to snap a drawing node to another drawing node. Is there a way to associate a "super snap node" with an object which would take precedence over the drawing nodes? Let me give an example. Proteins sometimes exist in cell membranes. The protein SVG would be a complex drawing, as would the membrane, both packed full of the usual drawing nodes. So moving the protein to the membrane in the usual snap mode is not going to be at all helpful. The "super snap node" would consist of a vector defined by two points specifying a position and an orientation. It would be associated with a grouped object but would not normally be visible. It would indicate the proper insertion orientation and position for the protein. A matching "super snap node" would be associated with each element in the membrane. In those mode one could drag the protein to the membrane and drop it and it would center and orient on the nearest super snap node in the membrane. Since cell membranes have two sides moving the protein over to the other half and releasing it would flip it 180 degrees and insert it in the other direction. In the more general case, there could be types of super snap nodes, so that only a pair of the same type would interact. (Note, my email is acting strangely today - I'm not sure what the subject is going to be on this message. ) Regards, David Mathog mathog@...1176...

Hi, Did I just mess up the master branch? When I look at the latest merge https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/7dd5c6f7f9d6d07517e7933fd43b46b… I see deltas which I cannot explain. I only used git add, git commit, git pull, and git push. I thought I understood what was written here https://inkscape.org/develop/inkscape-git/... Best regards, Diederik

Hackfest Saarbrücken LGM: Reminder
by Maren Hachmann 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hi Inkscapers, this is a reminder to book your flights, trains, hotel room etc. for the Saarbrücken Hackfest as soon as possible, if you haven't yet! If you are approved and plan to ask for reimbursement, remember to abide by Software Freedom Conservancy's Travel Policy: https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html Also please enter yourself and (at least) the dates you will attend into the table at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken_Atten… I need to report the number of attendees for the Hackfest at k8 in two weeks - everyone who is not on the list by then risks to have to work from their hotel room ;-) (probably not really...). Also, if you will attend LGM, too, please register on their website! The schedule for the pre-event, where Inkscape will have a booth, on May 29 is available here (scroll down, in German): https://opensaar.de/2019/04/libre-graphis-meeting-in-saarbruecken/ If anyone wants to support Mihaela and Marc at the booth, please add your name to the list here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken#May.2… On another note: the hackfest stickers are ready: https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors?msg=NHW5ZY2mPiHrk2YEJ The rollup display arrived today, but it needs to acclimatize before it's rolled out, so I can't show it yet.

Critical bug on Fedora 30 / Ubuntu 18.04 when using Wayland
by Diederik van Lierop 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Hello everyone, Inkscape 1.0a isn't usable at all for me at the moment on Linux when running it under Wayland; it appears to be missing most of the mouse events or something. I cannot draw even the simplest geometry! I haven't figured out how to make a screencast that shows the mousepointer, but maybe that's another Wayland issue ;-). Can't show it to you because of this, but it's really bad. I don't recall any reports about this and cannot find anything in the Gitlab issues either, but surely others must be experiencing this too... Unless everyone else is still on Xorg. I've reproduced this on both Fedora 30, with current trunk, as well as on Ubuntu Gnome 18.04.2, using the inkscape-trunk PPA. When I use Xorg, the problem disappears, on both distros. This is rather problematic though, because all (?) linux distros that have gnome also have Wayland enabled by default these days. Any pointers? A bug report maybe? Otherwise I will file one myself, and start some debugging. Best regards, Diederik

Hi, Can someone guide me to acquire the ability to compile for Mojave using Homebrew’s paths and dependencies? I would like to help maintain the build for Homebrew. Would also like to help maintain the build for MacOS in general, in case you also need help for MacPorts. By the way, Inkscape 0.92.2 (the last build for Homebrew) does not work with Mojave. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/62404 Regards Inc

Cheers from Donors
by Bryce Harrington 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

I wanted to share a little side project I've been doing for fun... Our Paypal link includes a memo field, which Inkscape's donors have used to say some very nice things over the years, that deserve to be shared with you all: http://alpha.inkscape.org/cheers/ This is a simple applet to cycle through the non-blank donation memos, from today backwards. It refreshes daily, although Paypal processing adds a few days lag so it's not up to the minute. For those of a more technical bent, the full data is at http://alpha.inkscape.org/cheers/cheers.json. I'm posting that in the open in hopes it can get integrated and used in other places; no changes are planned for the data file format, so consider that stable. The code itself for the React.js applet I've stuck on github here: https://github.com/bryceharrington/cheers-carousel I'd like to improve the styling a bit, but otherwise am done with this for now. Eventually this is going to be integrating into other finance displaying scripts I'm working on... but that'll be news for some other day. Enjoy! Bryce

Inkscape - Release status for 1.0 beta
by Bryce Harrington 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi all, tldr; - Just an update on my earlier email on release status. We're still on pause waiting on blocker bugs, no ETA for release dates yet. Progress is getting made. There is a lot of good activity going in by RdH, NPJ2000 and others to get the Mac OS native packaging established. Some of that work has landed already, and screenshots are starting to get passed around. * https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/gPrPtAHfZDnA39yDK/extensions.png Of the two blocker bugs we're tracking, the test rendering offset bug (#45 in inkscape's gitlab) is well understood now and is down to figuring out the right form of fix, and the extensions bug (#156) has been progressing nicely, although I don't know the exact status at the moment. We have 17 open bugs milestoned to 1.0: * https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues?milestone_title=1.0 Ideally we'd drive this list down to zero by release, although if we can close the two Critical bugs and most of the High priority bugs we should be in decent enough shape. I've been thumbing through other bug reports, crash bugs in particular. There's a lot, but thankfully most are not things ordinary users are going to run into, as they tend to be a bit obscure. But obviously, the more of these we can resolve before final release, the better. Please devote some of your time to looking at bugs, even if you're not a programmer you can do analysis and testing which can be invaluable. Triaging work is also HIGH VALUE right now, most particularly for tagging bugs and assigning importance levels to all bugs in the main issue tracker. Chris and Maren collected a listing of problems they'd love to see fixed, from an actual product usability point of view: * http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/1.0_Release_Bug_Fix_List These need to be migrated to gitlab, milestoned for 1.0, and set as High priority. Great way to score levels in the bug game, while directly helping towards making the software stronger. So, as to scheduling of the beta release... Since the two blocker bugs are blocking the release process, I think it would not be wise to set any dates just yet. However, I think beta could be released shortly after they're resolved (or no longer considered blockers). Focusing beta on the Mac OS package would be wise, so we can maximize user testing, so I would also include its status in the schedule determination there. Scheduling of release candidates for the final 1.0... June looks pretty unlikely given the work remaining to be done. I'm guessing a late summer release may be more likely, although difficult to predict. Bryce

Introduction - Research on the Inkscape Project
by Srrreal 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi all, I am SrrReal, a FOSS enthusiast and Inkscape user. Currently, I am a student researcher (in India) doing social sciences research of digital technologies. I recently began working on a project to explore how the identity of free software communities is shaped by its contributors. As an Inkscape user, I was keen on studying this by closely following the Inkscape community.This work is part of a course on ethnographic research - a type of research in which researchers engage closely with the people involved in the context they are studying, to gain a deep understanding. I am writing to introduce myself (and my research) to the broader community. In the coming weeks, I hope to chat with many of you, who do different things to make Inkscape what it is! I have put together a short survey - https://srrreal.typeform.com/to/dfhjFV as a preliminary step to guide further research. It's got about 2-3 questions and shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. It would be really helpful, if you could fill this out. If you would like to chat about the research in more detail or have questions and suggestions (what to probe, what may be interesting, etc), I'd be happy to discuss that further. Please email me [srrreal@...3637...] or ping on Rocket Chat [@SrrReal]. Or you could indicate your interest in the survey and I'll get in touch with you! Regards, Srravya

Welcoming Nathan Lee as new Inkscape developer
by Bryce Harrington 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Nathan, You've landed dozens of contributions to Inkscape and been recommended by Mc and Speleo3 to have commit rights to trunk. I've granted your new access permissions and want to echo their appreciation for your dedication. Keep up the good work! You don't need to change anything about your current workflow right away, if you're comfortable with it. The other developers can answer questions and give guidance when you're ready. It would be great if you could assist other prospective contributors by helping review the merge request queue, there's a lot of good work there that needs good shepherding. Thanks again, and welcome! Bryce
