skeletal-stroke offset parameters
by jf barraud 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hi all, I just added the offset parameters in lpe-skeletal-stroke again. They can otpionaly be expressed in proportion of pattern size. Thank you for testing and commenting (is this the behaviour we want to have?). Dunno if there is the faintest chance to have this in some 0.46.x...(?) If it stabilize fast enough, I think it would be nice since it greatly emproves the usability of the effect... Bye, jf.

Inkscape development on Windows with Dev-C++
by g mak 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hi, I am not sure if this would help, it has been a long time since I've done any development, especially on the Windows platform. However, I have invested a little time to attempt to get Inkscape to work with Dev-C++, and would like to see if anyone else is interested to share the experience. Thanks to JonY's help, I can get Inkscape to build with the buildtool (btool), so I used build.xml in the inkscape home directory as a reference to setup Dev-C++. Here is what I have done: - install Dev-C++ in c:\Dev-Cpp - I downloaded devcpp-4.9.9.2_nomingw_setup.exe from http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html - install Inkscape in c:\inks1, and the support library c:\devlibs, I had the 0.45 plus the SVN as instructed by JonY - Note: Please keep in mind that the above locations are relative if you would like to use my Dev-C++ Configuration File and Project File. - Depends on how you install MinGw and GCC, you may wanted to add c:\mingw\bin in your PATH environment variable so Dev-C++ can get to GCC, may be in the future c:\devlibs can include GCC as well, I can only find gdb there only, we will leave it for the pros for those decision. - Create a folder "inkwin32" under c:\Dev-Cpp, and download this attached file "inkwin32_devcpp". It is the Dev-Cpp Configuration File. - Start Dev-C++, select "Tools]Files & Directories]", check "Use this alternate configuration file" and enter "C:\Dev-Cpp\inkwin32\inkwin32_devcpp". - Re-start Dev-C++, it will read in the configuration, which set up: - "Tools]Compiler Options]Compiler]" - the "compile" and "link" target from buildtool - "Tools]Compiler Options]Directories]" - the C++ include libraries. This I needed to check out again, some may be duplicated with the compiler option. I am not sure. - Download the attached project file "inkwin32.dev" to c:\Dev-Cpp. It is not complete, but has references all the source files in ~/src, ~/src/dialogs and ~src/ui. This is a easy to read text file, may be buildtool can create it in the future, if Dev-Cpp is the way to go. I stopped where I am so I can check out the compilation and see if this can be progress any further. - To compile, simply F9 ("Execute]Compile]"). I have marked the following files not to be included with the compile, (inkscape, inkview, interface, sp-fediffuselighting, sp-fespecularlighting, sp-filter, verbs, dialogs/filedialog-win32 (excluded in buildtool as well), dialogs/fill-style, dialogs/layer-panel), they caused the problem with magick with errors such as: - 'MagickExport' does not name a type - 'ClassType' does not name a type - 'Quantum' does not name a type which I cannot google meaning resolution. Anyone interested in going forward?

Inkscape 0.46pre3
by Ted Gould 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hello Inkscapers, We've put out another pre-release of Inkscape. As we're getting very close to releasing 0.46 on platforms other than Windows testing is critical. On Windows, there are some release blocking bugs that could use developer attention. If you're a Windows developer please come help. If not, but you know one, time to buy him/her their favorite pizza and beer then tie them to a chair :) [1] --- All bugs should be submitted to --- http://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/ --- Release --- https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=991… --- MD5Sums --- 0daed93fbf24da295499d844b54be621 inkscape-0.45+0.46pre3.tar.bz2 d486eb8b02641b90cb7750afd8477efc inkscape-0.45+0.46pre3.tar.bz2.sig 39a5d9451120cf953a811d6dde92adfe inkscape-0.45+0.46pre3.tar.gz 635ed77f488d2bf18b2c2be19cf900bc inkscape-0.45+0.46pre3.tar.gz.sig 427584d96ef0f07d5b78c74e96414a6b inkscape-0.45+0.46pre3.zip 190ca9ee4f96e180ce851bcb7bdd99f1 inkscape-0.45+0.46pre3.zip.sig Thank you everyone for continuing to use and help out with Inkscape. --Ted [1] Neither Ted nor the Inkscape project encourage violence towards Windows developers.

0.46.x stable branch practices for bugs and patches
by Bryce Harrington 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

With 0.46.0 nearly finished, bug fixes for our release should be targeted to 0.46.1. For 0.46.x we want just critical bugs: crashes, data loss, security vulnerabilities, severe regression, failure to build, etc. To mark an acceptable bug as needing fixed in a Stable Release, please 'milestone' it to 0.46.1 (or 0.46.2, ...) To mark a patch for an acceptable bug as needing integrated into the Stable Release: 1. Attach the patch to the bug report. 2. Confirm that the fix is in the main development trunk. 3. 'Nominate it for release' in launchpad for 0.46.x 4. Include this information: * Justification why its release-critical * Steps to reproduce * Explanation of the patch * Discussion of regression potential (Translation updates only need to follow steps 1-3) This makes it easier both for us to review patches, and for distro packagers to cherrypick and backport them. A more detailed version of this is at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/StableBranchUpdates Thanks, Bryce

Inkscape 0.46-final plans (March 10th)
by Bryce Harrington 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

ScislaC and I are quite pleased with how -pre3 has shaped up, and are making the last call for 0.46.0 bug fixes, translations, etc. We will tag 0.46.0 at UTC 04:00 Mar 11 2008. I've incorporated all patches sent to me or nominated for 0.46.x. If you have something I've missed, please get it to me this weekend. There are 7 milestoned bugs left: 3 are translations, 3 are windows-specific, and 1 has a patch that just needs a quick test. The translation patches I trust will be squared away in the coming days. Bug 189432 has a fix committed to trunk for upside down text with PDF, that just needs checked and I can commit the patch. For any remaining translation work, please arrange to get it incorporated in the release branch by March 10th. For the 3 windows bugs, progress has been slow on these. The consensus from the lengthy "0.46 release debate" thread is to tag 0.46.0 for Linux so we can get the release into Ubuntu and Fedora (which have a drop-dead date of March 13th for getting new Inkscape incorporated), but hold off on PR two weeks to give the extra time for Windows developers, because we would prefer to have full platform support for maximum PR effectiveness. If the Windows bugs are not sufficiently resolved by March 24th, we'll proceed with 0.46.0 being a non-Windows release, and hope they can be addressed in time for 0.46.1. Bryce

lpe-blueprint
by jf barraud 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi all, I just added an lpe-blueprint<http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Lpe-blueprint>on launchpad. The goal is to gather ideas/props about lpe futur generations. The first part is about stacking lpe's from the UI viewpoint. Individual effects specifications are also collected, including propositions of new effects... (notice that things are not supposed to be developped in a short term; in particular, handling full svg data as parameter or output might require a lot of work!...) Remarks, comments, additions are wellcome! jfb.

NEW: flasher when hovering over a path
by unknown＠example.com 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Quickly: When you hover over a path in nodetool, it highlights itself briefly like a helperpath. (this means it only works for things that have a helperpath: paths only for now... work in progress i guess) When you leave the object with the mouse, it hides instantly. I haven't add preferences yet, so you cannot turn it off now, sorry; it's probably pretty annoying if you don't want it. What preferences do people want? - on/off - flash time? - flash color? ( i don't know how to XOR it, so right now it is invisible for red stroked paths ) - show knots aswell? Thanks for your input, and thanks to Josh for the excellent idea :-) Johan

Beyond CSS Fonts
by Gail Carmichael 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Just wanted to let you know that I sent an email yesterday to the Pango mailing list, asking about the possibilities of expanding the fonts Pango can represent beyond what CSS can represent. Haven't heard back yet, and have no idea if they will tell me this is technically impossible or philosophically undesirable. However, if I get good news, this may mean I can help expand it and then support more fonts in Inkscape as a result. Will keep you updated. Gail

0.46 fails building on MacPorts
by Guido 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

I am trying to build Inkscape 0.46pre2 after updating the portfile of the 0.45 version (<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/gnome/inksc…>) which works flawlessly, including the Python plugins. Since the first previews, the compilation has been failing reporting the following error: /opt/local/include/python2.5/Object.h:104: error: 'Py_ssize_t' does not name a type [...] extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.h:343: error: 'Object' has not been declared extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.cpp: In member function 'gchar* Inkscape::Extension::Internal::SvgBuilder::_createTilingPattern(GfxTilingPattern*, GfxState*, bool)': extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.cpp:659: error: no matching function for call to 'PdfParser::parse(Object*)' extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.h:162: note: candidates are: void PdfParser::parse(int*, GBool) make[2]: *** [extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.o] Error 1 This happens also when cairo is built with the support for the PDF backend.

NEW: temporary on-canvas indicators
by unknown＠example.com 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi Diederik and others, First of all, I am very sorry if I broke compile on Linux, please fix what needs to be fixed, I cannot check if it works! (makefile?) I have just committed a new feature: temporary canvasitems. Now, it is possible to create a canvasitem, and pass it to SPDesktop saying it should be displayed for a certain timelength. When that time has elapsed, the object is automatically deleted. To make a canvasitem temporary, do this: spdesktop->add_temporary_canvasitem(canvasitem, 2000); This will destroy the canvasitem automatically after 2000 milliseconds. One can also prematurely delete the canvasitem (handy for showing snapping). One should do this: Inkscape::Display::TemporaryItem * tempitem; tempitem = spdesktop->add_temporary_canvasitem(canvasitem, 2000); And then later on to remove the item: spdesktop->remove_temporary_canvasitem(tempitem); It is perfectly safe to call this function even after the 2 seconds have elapsed, because it checks whether the object has already been deleted or not. In order to demonstrate and test the code, I have enabled the test LPEs, and added a Point parameter to lpe-Stacktest that is briefly flashed on-canvas when you press the edit oncanvas button. Draw a freehand path, apply lpe-'doEffect stack test', then press the edit oncanvas button next to the 'test' parameter; it should show a cross at the location of the parameter oncanvas. I have tested a bit, it *seems* bug-free... :) Special request to Diederik: Can you use the code from /live_effects/parameter/point.cpp, method param_editOncanvas, to flash the location of a snap ? This was my main motivation for writing all this! I hope people find other interesting things that can be briefly shown on canvas; like an arrow pointing to the parent object of a clone? :-) Cheers, Johan

recent 0.46 prelease for Mac OS X 10.4?
by J. Haas 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi, we were wondering, whether somebody could supply a recent pre release dmg package for Mac Os X 10.4? We are very happy about your achievements so far and found a few issues we would like to have a look at. issues we would like to check : 1. We found that in the 16573 release more than a few lines of text with or without sketches including transparency leads to a corrupted pdf file. 2. When changing the font to a font not supporting italics and then back again, the original formatting is lost. keep up the great work!

on refactoring
by Alexandre Prokoudine 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi, The word "refactoring" is floating in the air ever since 0.46 was branched. What I'm curious about is whether we have the exact plan of what we want to do. This is especially interesting in the context of other words like "animation". Is it still planned to split Inkscape into InkCore to make it possible building new applications? Do we want animation as part of Inkscape or as a co-project? Alexandre

You are correct - Win32 printing really is broken!
by Joel Holdsworth 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Seeing as I am a win32 developer - albeit with not much time, I just hooked up my old printer to investigate the notorious win32 printing bug. I see the problem - wierd blackness in both bitmap and vector mode, and messed up polygons in vector mode. I guess I'm stating the obvious here. I'm not sure what to suggest - this seems like a renderer (cairo?) problem to me. If cairo is broken, then we must either push through fixes to cairo, or revert back to the old system. I imagine cairo fixes will be too slow, so I suggest we revert printing to the pre-November version for win32 only, until we can get a proper fix in time for 0.46.1. What do people think? +1 for releasing all platforms at the same time - we need to make as a big a media rumble as we can. Joel

splitting PO files
by Alexandre Prokoudine 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi, Here is an question that is triggered by a recent request in inkscape-translator@...233... While doing refactoring in 0.47, should we probably try to split translatable messages into several ones? E.g.: po/ po-lpe/ po-extensions/ po-tools/ ? Inkscape has grown *a lot* over the 0.46: amount of translatable messages has jumped from 2480 in 0.45.1 to 3465 in 0.46. While supporting one large already existing PO file is probably OK for translators (not quite correct for the case I started this email with), creating a whole new translation will be psychologically difficult at the same time. I've seen this with Xara Xtreme for Linux which had ~5700 messages last time I checked - and the pace of translation work into various languages was dead slow. On the other hand, I sometimes find myself jumping between po/ru.po and po-libgimp/ru.po and suspect that this will apply to Inkscape to some extent in case we choose this path. Anyway, what do you think? Alexandre
