Handling of feature suggestions in gitlab
by Bryce Harrington 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

Hi all, One still-open question for our migration to gitlab is what to do with wishlist bugs / feature requests / blueprints. I've filed a ticket in gitlab for discussing this: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/infra/services/issues/22 Please share your thoughts on the gitlab issue or here on the mailing list. Bryce

Font chooser GtkAction migration
by Alex Valavanis 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Hi Tav and devs, I'm currently looking into getting rid of the deprecated GtkAction usage in the TextToolbar. It seems that the only sticking point is the use of the Ink_ComboBoxEntry_Action widget to select fonts. It should be OK to migrate this to a Gtk::ToolItem, but before I do that, I just wondered if we had considered using the standard GtkFontButton ( https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFontButton.html)? This would provide a summary of the font face and size, but would pop-up a font-chooser dialog ( https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm-tutorial/stable/sec-font-chooser-dialog.h…) rather than providing an entry in a combobox. This could result in a less cluttered toolbar, but I suspect there might be some "clever things" going on in our font support, and I don't want to break anything without asking! Any thoughts? AV

Apple DMG Packages / CI
by Ostermeier, Christoph 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Hi, My colleague posted on https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=1517.msg10076#msg10076 because we noticed our automatic packaging system isn’t getting the newest Inkscape anymore. Then we noticed that you are searching for a developer who can build DMG files and run CI-Jobs. Maybe we can help you out with this, as we have some old Mac mini which could run a ci-runner for gitlab. Do you have any documentation how builds were made until 0.92.2? Do you actually build all release versions using a CI/CD Pipeline? Actually we do not have c/c++ knowledge, so we can only help you out with infrastructure. Cheers, Christoph

[RFC] for all users of perl extensions on Windows - perl vs. wperl
by Patrick Storz 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Hi all, we're currently considering to change the default interpreter executable for perl extensions on Windows from "perl.exe" to "wperl.exe", see [1]. In case any developers/users of perl extensions on Windows are reading this, please let us know if this is a change you'd welcome or if this has the potential to break your extension / current setup. For everybody unaware of the difference between perl and wperl: On Windows there's a fundamental distinction between console applications and "GUI" applications. The former are always attached to a console window and will start one if necessary (i.e. you'd see a console window pop up while running the extension), which is also the case for "perl.exe". "wperl.exe" on the other hand is compiled as a "GUI" application and doesn't require a console. The downside is that "wperl" only exists on Windows (there's no such distinction on other OSs) and might not even be available in some perl distributions. In any case the interpreter executable can always be customized as described in the Wiki article [2], so you'll always be able to set the interpreter of your choice. This also allows you to test this change ahead of time and give feedback. Cheers, Patrick [1] https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/46 [2] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Extension_Interpreters

Website Confusion
by unknown＠example.com 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Dear Developers, This is an interesting brand confusion issue that I want to bring up. Users who visit the Inkscape website exhibit sometimes some key confusions which I'm not entirely sure how to fix: 1. That Inkscape requires them to register for an account in order to download. This is not true, but users have been trained by proprietary service vendors to register accounts for everything to get access. Help requests from users who forget their password or can't activate their accounts indicate that they only wanted to download Inkscape. 2. That the gallery on the website /is inkscape/, this is a much rarer problem. But sometimes people upload things to the Inkscape gallery in order to somehow get the website to perform actions or 'use' Inkscape via a web interface. This is likely because many users are trained to think of apps as websites and the website offers some abilities which could be confused for entry points into Inkscape functionality. This presents as moderation flags, usually people uploading photos and asking why Inkscape can't be accessed. These are issues that may get worse as more and more people get computers which are not-desktops. Phones, tables, whatever chromebooks are. And I can imagine there might be some simple changes to help direct people more. Thoughts? Best Regards, Martin Owens

Inkscape 0.92.4 bugfix release
by Bryce Harrington 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Inkscape has launched version 0.92.4 with increased stability. This update delivers some notable performance improvements for filter rendering, saving and moving paths (with a live path effect), and the measure tool. Download Inkscape 0.92.4 packages here: https://inkscape.org/release/ The key improvements in this version will enable Inkscape users to do or experience the following: * Align multiple objects as a group relative to a single object * Write image data to standard output * Experience extensions working faster within complex documents * See improved speed when deselecting a path with many nodes * Ungroup text elements won’t result in changed font size of children * Able to print and / or print correct paper size with printers (especially Canon, EPSON, Konica Minolta) * See improved performance of the measure tool when grids are visible * See proper opacity of partially transparent embedded bitmap images in PDF export * Able to Shift/Ctrl-click on control handles of shapes without crashing * Build Inkscape with up-to-date poppler library 0.72.0 – useful for Mac users building with Homebrew Translation and documentation updates ------------------------------------- The Icelandic and Brazilian Portuguese user interface (UI) translations have been updated. Inkscape’s Ukranian and Hungarian documentation translations have also been revised in this version. Join an Inkscape project team ----------------------------- There is always room for developers, especially those who can help with the following: * Package version 0.92.4 for Mac * Prepare the upcoming Inkscape 1.0 to be usable on MacOS * Help with programming a great UI for some of the new features in 1.0 * Help fix bugs and implement new features * Wrangle Python Head here https://inkscape.org/contribute/ to find out more about joining the ranks. Inkscape is always happy to welcome new contributors to help complete documentation and other elements of the project that are translated into many different languages. The project is seeking support with interface, documentation and other content translation. If you would like to contribute, head to https://inkscape.org/contribute/translations/ Another great way to help Inkscape is through Vectors, who are the marketing, outreach, and promotion team for Inkscape. Designers, artists, marketers, writers, and anyone enthusiastic about bringing Inkscape to more people in more places, is welcome to join. Inkscape alpha version 1.0 seeking testers ------------------------------------------ As the project advances towards an alpha release of version 1.0, the Inkscape teams are seeking developers interested in testing the alpha ahead of release. Download 1.0 alpha at: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0alpha0/ Report new issues in Inkscape's Inbox: http://inkscape.org/inbox Watch Inkscape.org https://inkscape.org/ and social media channels for the latest details on the progress of the 1.0 development work. Mac OS: Inkscape needs your help -------------------------------- As few Inkscape volunteer developers use Mac, the project needs someone who knows how to automatically package a .dmg file, to enable Mac users to test the alpha version, along with Mac equipment to run continuous integration jobs. If you're interested in working on this, please introduce yourself on one of our discussion channels, and keep an eye out for other Mac volunteers to work with on this important task.

Issue tracking for Inkscape moves to Gitlab
by Bryce Harrington 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi all, As of this week, the Inkscape project is shifting to Gitlab for issue tracking in place of Launchpad. https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/issues We've been using Gitlab for our code hosting and other purposes for a year and a half now[1], and have found it to be reliable and convenient. We didn't migrate Issue Tracking until now, so we could take time to make sure we had a plan: 1. Going forward, new bug reports should be filed only in Gitlab. 2. Launchpad will remain available as a historical archive of our bug reports. Filing bugs there will remain possible for now, but discouraged. 3. Bugs in Launchpad that are still reproducible in Inkscape 0.92.4 or newer can be re-filed on Gitlab and closed on Launchpad. We are planning efforts to help organize the migration work and keep track of progress. More info on this will be coming soon. Eventually, when the necessary bugs have been migrated, bug reporting in Launchpad will be shut off. We're enthused about this change, and hope you too will find gitlab a more user friendly way to report issues, and we'd love your help triaging and solving Inkscape bugs.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] PPA breakage? (was Re: Inkscape hackfest in Pasadena)
by Bryce Harrington 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Heya Alex, I looked into this myself, the situation turned out to be a dependency issue with libpng that is particular only to Xenial, and only occurring on the trunk-daily PPA builds. Essentially, trunk needs libpng16 now but it has libpng12, and other stuff breaks if we try and force libpng16. We ended up just deciding that since Xenial is old, probably not worth the trouble to keep it active in the PPA, so I dropped it from the PPA. I got all the other PPA builds up to date. The stable PPA is updated to the 0.92.4 tag, and the stable-daily PPA had an invalid recipe so I fixed that too. Everything seems happily building packages.

I need it for the tutorial video on how to report bugs in inkscape on the new GitLab platform. Something short like: inkscape.com/report Since I'm rushing to get the video done for release tomorrow, I'd rather not get into a long debate about what's the best way. If we make a better way later, we can change the video. Time is of the essence. :) Thanks. -C

Build configuration for activation of path effect Fillet/Chamfer
by Johannes Madel 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi there, I would like to compile Inkscape in a way so that I can use the Fillet/Chamfer path effect. I got Inkscape compiled under a msys2 environment under windows 10 with the macro WITH_MODULES enabled, but I still cannot find the path effect in the list in the gui interface. As a codebase I use the source code from the gitlab repo and the branch 0.92.x. Am I missing something? I furthermore have not found the given macro in the source code (only one #ifdef in inkview.cpp which seems somewhat related). I would expect some constructs like: #ifdef WITH_MODULES /* some code */ #endif Is this the correct macro to define for this use case? I am not totally sure that I did the build configuration correctly. It seems that the macro definition is supposed to more or less add steps to the build configuration. Could you point me to the files where this is done. Best regards, Johannes Madel

Prep for Inkscape 1.0 alpha
by Bryce Harrington 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi all, I am working on packaging issues for getting alpha put together. (Nothing major, just a couple errors in the dist scripts.) Please avoid any code changes from now until tomorrow. If you have a critical (and well-tested) bugfix it might be ok, but just check with me first before landing it. Translations, packaging work, and other non-code changes you know are 100% safe and correct, are ok to land for the next 24 hrs, but I plan to cut the branch at that point. Any other questions or concerns, just drop me an email or catch me on irc or rocketchat. Thanks, Bryce

Hi all, If you're going to be joining us in Pasadena this March, please get your travel arrangements made this weekend, to avoid higher airfare costs. Remember that SFC's travel policy requires doing a flight search with screenshots. If you've not gone through the process, the policy's worth a review before you book flights: https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html After making arrangements, add your details here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_SCALE_Attendees Bryce

Bug reporting tutorial for Inkscape 1.0 Alpha
by C R 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

So, I'm trying to make a video for ongoing bug reporting for Inkscape in GitLab. However, there is no page https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues, which I assume is where we want most of the bugs reported, correct? The best I could do at the moment is do a tutorial for how to report an issue in the extensions sub-section: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/issues And that's because there's a big green button that says "New Issue" in the upper right corner. Is it that we have not added all the sub-sections of the project yet? Can someone add those sections so I can work them into the tutorial? (I'd do it but I'm bound to do it wrong). Let me know. In the meantime, I'm making the animation bits, in hopes of having the video ready by the 16th release of 1.0 Alpha. Thanks for the help! -C
