Launchpad tags
by jiho 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi everyone, Launchpad is really much nicer to use than SF tracker. However, I was wondering about tags: - there is only one kind of tag where there were several in SF. would it be a good idea to set a composite tag hierarchy such as: platform-all platform-linux platform-win32 ... instead of all-platforms linux win32 osx ... This is already somewhat done for ui and object and it would be nice to have an official way of designing such tags and to reduce the current number of tags, or at least the number of first level tags. What would be really nice is if "ui" could match both "ui" and "ui- something" but that's apparently not the case. - when adding tags to a bug, I could not find a way to get a list of pre-existing tags. It would be very nice to have that, or auto- completion of tags, or a tag could a-la del.icio.us or... ;) Is that possible in Launchpad? JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

display adjustment
by bulia byak 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Jon, sorry to be picking on you again :) but I have comments on the new command you added to View": - "display adjustment" is too generic. It may mean a lot of things. The statusbar tip explains it, but why not rename the command itself to something like "display color management" or "display CMS" etc. - if it's a toggle, it must be presented as a toggle and have a check mark against the command name in the menu. - if you cannot yet disable the command on displays where it does nothing, you must at least provide some feedback when the command is invoked - the statusbar must flash one of "display cms mode turned on", "display cms mode turned off," or "cms mode is not supported by this display." - what about windows? mac? if it never works on windows, please make it compiling conditionally, and mention that it's X-only in the release notes. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

State of progress of Mac integration?
by Maximilian Albert 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi all, I just finished talking with a friend who discovered Inkscape today (without any effort on my part :)) while working on a webpage for his funk & soul band. He was really enthused by Inkscape's power and usability, so first I'd like to give the kudos to all developers. However, using a Mac, he felt that the overall integration and "Mac feeling" could still be improved. Following my suggestion he gave one of the development snapshots a try (he was using the 0.45 release) and was pleasantly surprised to discover improvements (e.g., Apple key + click now correctly emulates right click). I think some of this is due to jiho's work? Thanks! (Also to all the others working in this area.) But some other things still don't work properly. He mentioned, for instance, that Inkscape windows cannot be opened/maximised by clicking on the task bar (or whatever it's called on the Mac), which I found strange but using Linux I can neither confirm nor refute. So I was trying to find info about the changes since 0.45 in the Release Notes for 0.46, unfortunately without success. Just out of curiosity (since I'm not affected by this), is any info about the changes or about what's still missing available somewhere? Thanks again for everybody's efforts to make Inkscape yet more powerful and user friendly, Max

Launchpad Tips & Tricks: Graphs
by Bryce Harrington 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi all, I asked Brian Murray if he'd include Inkscape in his bug plots, and he has. Total number of New bugs for the past week: http://people.ubuntu.com/~brian/project-graphs/inkscape/plots/inkscape-week… Here's the number of untriaged bugs for the past day: http://people.ubuntu.com/~brian/project-graphs/inkscape/plots/inkscape-1day… I like using the above type of chart when I'm doing triaging, so you can see the effects of your labors. There's a certain joy in pushing the next hour's dot on the graph down, that helps when the triaging work starts getting monotonous. ;-) There's all manner of variations in status and time duration, too, although most are boring at the moment: http://people.ubuntu.com/~brian/project-graphs/inkscape/plots/ If the rendering style looks familiar, you're right! Brian uses gnuplot's svg output feature, then post-renders them to png using Inkscape. :-) Bryce

Hey everybody, I'm not really aware right now who created this awesome possibility. I haven't really used it for any productive work so far, but I just love it. Maybe not the interface completely, but hey, the live effect itself is so fantastic! It's great for doing brush effects but by far more flexible, than what I've seen in Illustrator so far... Thanks!

Inkscape + Boehm GC 7.0
by Jean-Olivier Irisson 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi all, Is boehm-gc version 7.0 known to be broken or anything? Does someone uses it successfully on another platform? Compiling Inkscape against v 7.0 on OS X cause it to hang forever on startup. I can "sample the process" and get this if that tells something to anyone: Analysis of sampling pid 16860 every 10.000000 milliseconds Call graph: 300 Thread_0f07 300 0x26cd 300 0x27a6 300 0x30a4 300 0x511bad 300 GC_init 300 GC_init_inner 300 GC_try_to_collect_inner 300 GC_stopped_mark 300 GC_stop_world 300 GC_release_mark_lock 300 __spin_lock 300 __spin_lock 300 Thread_1003 300 _pthread_body 300 GC_mark_thread 300 GC_help_marker 300 GC_acquire_mark_lock 300 GC_generic_lock 300 pthread_mutex_lock 300 new_sem_from_pool 300 semaphore_create 300 mach_msg_trap 300 mach_msg_trap Total number in stack (recursive counted multiple, when >=5): Sort by top of stack, same collapsed (when >= 5): __spin_lock 300 mach_msg_trap 300 Sample analysis of process 16860 written to file /dev/stdout Sampling process 16860 each 10 msecs 300 times All the GC_*** tells me that boehmgc has something to do with it ;) Inkscape does not crash, nor displays messages in the console. It just hangs and never get to the point of showing the GUI. Starting it inside gdb does not help in getting more info, not without knowing where to set a break point at least.

Inkscape in Khmer
by Khoem Sokhem 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello List, I have finished translating Inkscape into Khmer (the official language of Cambodia). I have installed Inkcape 0.45.1 on my XP system, after finished installing, I got the inkscape in English. But I have to make a configuration in order to make in Khmer language. the steps to do is: right click on my computer in desktop--> properties--> advanced --> Environment variable --> click New under User variable for .... then fill variable name= LANG and variable value= km_KM then click OK, after I got Inkscape in Khmer. But in the title bar it shows ??????????? insteat of Khmer character. Can inkscape after installing swith to any language as we want? I mean that user can switch language to their own language. Best Regards, Sokhem

Sourceforge trackers still accessible
by jiho 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi again everyone, and Bryce in particular, It seems that, even though there's no tracker tab anymore at sourceforge, the tracker is still accessible when using the address directly. For example: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93438&atid=604306 It would be nice if there was an error message, or better: a link to Launchpad, in place of the tracker to avoid people going there from links on other websites.

Unexplicable bug
by jiho 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all, This simple file: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/badges_crash.svg repeatedly crashes Inkscape devel on my machine when I open it. And it have no idea why. Inkscape first crashed when editing this file (but the content I was editing at that time is not present in this file since it was lost). The document recovery did not work and this version is the last saved version which should not have been touched by Inkscape since I did not saved my changes. I am suspecting something with the grid which has been flaky for a few revisions (grid space changing on its own, grid appearing when reopening docs in which it was not defined etc.). I hope the file will be enough to diagnose the problem. If this can be reproduced I'll post a bug report in the brand new Launchpad bug tracker. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

Fedora Package Maintainer
by Ted Gould 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hello, Denis Leroy e-mail me off list and mentioned that he's no longer interested in maintaining the Fedora package of Inkscape. If there is any other Fedora packagers that are willing to pick it up, that'd be great. I'm not sure of other Fedora lists that this should be posted to, but if people could forward it to those that would be great. Thanks, Ted

Another crash bug
by jiho 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all, Seems like Inkscape is not really stable at the moment, lots of flakiness in the last few weeks. Here is another reproducible bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/172784 I thought it was related to the snapping Diederick mentioned but it also occurs with no grid and no snapping whatsoever. Going back a few revisions for now. Thanks in advance for your expertise on this. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

Grid bug
by jiho 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, There's a very annoying bug with grid settings that has been introduced a few revisions back already and I've just found the time to report it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/172778 I can't remember who was working on the grid stuff so I could not assign it. If somebody could. In addition to what's reported in the bug, I noticed that sometimes grid settings would change on their own, when editing something in the document. But I could not reproduce this so I did not include it in the bug report. If someone noticed the same behavior repeatedly, please add your comment to this bug. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Launchpad: closing bugs?

Probably a stupid question, but how do I close bugs? I changed the status to fix-committed but the bug is still among "open". Where is the close button? I'm also badly missing SF's list of potential bug assignees - now when I want to assign a bug to some developer, I have to remember his nick, or use "search" which is almost useless because it searches throughout all projects (I tried to find Diederik, and even though his name is not very common, I got two pages of Diederiks - and none of them was ours :) Can we limit this search to Inkscape developers only? -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Launchpad team policy
by Ted Gould 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Well, I got a lot more people wanting to be part of the various teams I set up on Launchpad than I expected. While, I don't think there is that much to hide in Launchpad I get the feeling that we should have some sort of policy on the two groups -- that way no one is making a decision arbitrarily. I'm going to throw out a couple ideas, you guys rip them up: Inkscape Bugs I'm willing to let anyone who's interested into this group. I think with many eyes all bugs are shallow. Now, that being said I'd like to at least know who the person is and that they're not just there to be a troll. So, I'm thinking a post to the -devel mailing list? Would that be too much traffic? Inkscape Admin I think that about the only thing that people in this group can do is change the description/links on the website and add people into the the bugs group. Oh, and define milestones. So again, I'm not as worried about giving away the keys to castle, but I think this should be more limited as these would be the folks implementing the policies in this discussion. I'm kinda thinking we grab the admins for SF: Mental, Bryce, Bulia and JonCruz and just leave it at that. If they need help they can ask for it. (Note: this would mean I'd remove myself from the group which I'm more than happy to do) --Ted
