Hi, Not sure if everyone has heard of this: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20061002#donation Also, I think the IBM PPC donation is newsworthy - someone could probably write an inkscape.org article about these...

failure opening svg's on debian etch
by ben lipkowitz 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hello, I recently installed Debian Etch on my laptop, then removed all of the Gnome stuff and installed KDE and Inkscape. For some reason inkscape cannot open or import svg images (though raster formats work fine, and inkview can load svg's) and it fails with the error: (inkscape:25435): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_uri_is_local: assertion `uri != NULL' failed which is the same as in [ inkscape-Bugs-1363390 ] (at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13947179 ) The bug fix doesn't provide much information regarding what the problem was or how to fix it. I am using: Inkscape 0.44.1 (Sep 25 2006) libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.2-2+b1 libgnomevfs2-c 2.14.2-2 But the problem existed in earlier versions also - I didnt think to write down the old version numbers before I upgraded. Any help appreciated! -fenn

Quad PPC from IBM
by Kees Cook 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

IBM donated a quad-proc PPC for Inkscape testing. I've finally overcome the weird console problems it was having, and got Ubuntu Dapper installed on it. Bryce and I are going to get Crucible running on it shortly, but until then (and after), anyone who's interested in getting an account on it, please email me your SSH pub key and desired account name. Doing "make -j6" it took about 3min40sec to do a full recompile. :) -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

Cairo changes breaking build
by Jon A. Cruz 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

I've hit problems with the Cairo changes from r13107 breaking the build. Specifically, PANGO_GLYPH_EMPTY is undeclared, as is PANGO_GLYPH_UNKNOWN_FLAG. I have cairo 1.2 and pango1-dev 1.10.0 The one value appears to have been added to Pango 1.11.4, and then hidden in 1.11.6. There are also several other warnings that need to get cleaned up at some point, but the build breakage is the main problem for me. I'd hack something in, but I'm not sure of the "proper" fix in this case.

We'll mainly need some widget to wrap a spinbutton in a menuitem. Then we can finish a transition to stock GTK menubars and get exactly that functionality.

Two of the errors were indeed spawned by paramnotebook.cpp. I fixed the bug (something with tooltips). After quite a search: the third error is not caused by my code but by event-log.cpp. Newing SPDocumentPrivate() causes the error => Member 'Inkscape::EventLog event_log;' causes the error => and finally "_event_list_store ( Gtk::TreeStore::create(_columns) )" is the cause of the error. The code should be changed to create the TreeStore only if there is a UI which can actually call Undo/Redo. Because I am not familiar with the EventLog (mental proposed a better name: 'HistoryLog'), I hope the author can look into this. I tried to correct it but it started becoming a nasty hack; I gave up for now. Side note: we should make it clear to windows developers to enable the console. I vote for enabling it standard in the SVN's makefiles, and disable it for the pre-compiled distributions. I think people who are keen enough to compile their own Inkscape can also cope with a console screen. This should prevent some of the errors being missed. However, since I never use inkscape from the commandline, I still would have missed some of the errors caused by my code... Now back to work on the axonometric grid :-) - Johan

better patch for mask loose
by Popolon 30 Sep '06

30 Sep '06

The patch attached I just attached in bug #1562520 corrects it and corrects bug #1561034 too in a better way. it also free a string that was not freed in the bug #1561034 patched function that lead me to wrong patch. <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=1562520&group_…> There are nothing in guide line about comment and cast. I do a cast (gchar *) for a temporary 'gchar *' from a 'const gchar *' given by attribute() function. And about comment : in src/path-chemistery.cpp there are C style single line comments: /* foo bar */ but in src/splivarot.cpp there are c++ comments: // foo bar and some time not spaced text and c++ style comments //foo bar Is there no project to add something about that in coding style guide?

a little more on the blur crash
by Jon A. Cruz 30 Sep '06

30 Sep '06

I managed to track down more on that crash problem. down in desktop-style.cpp, things seem to have some issues right after this: SPGaussianBlur * b = new SPGaussianBlur(); I added this, and see a warning. if ( !SP_IS_GAUSSIANBLUR(b) ) { g_warning("problem with gaussian blur object"); } I'd sprinkled some of those debug messages starting at the point where I'd seen the lockups on OS X, and then moved things back until I'd gotten there. So I think the new call there is not getting all needed items setup. Given the "TODO" comment right above that, I think this is the right point to change things. I'm not familiar with the filter code enough, and the other object creation that doesn't use new has a bit more context for creating things. So I think I'm at the point where I've done what I can tonight.

[PATCH] bug in FileSaveDialog
by Kees Cook 30 Sep '06

30 Sep '06

I know inkscape is normally a patch-first-talk-later place, but I haven't done a "serious" commit to SVN in a while, so I thought I'd see what people thought of this patch... Here is the problem: in Ubuntu Edgy (glib 2.12.3) the filedialog throws an error if you give it a _file_ rather than a _path_ in set_current_folder(). src/file.cpp expected (at one time) to give the dialog a full path, not a directory, but at some point the logic slowly changed. This patch restores the logic of letting the dialog specify a full path name. (And as such, the "drawing.svg", "drawing-1.svg" default names re-appear too.) Example scenario: - start without ~/.inkscape dir and without any ~/drawing*.svg files - open inkscape - draw anything - click "save" expected results: put in home directory, with "drawing.svg" already in the filename entry box. - click "OK" - open new inkscape window - draw anything - click "save" expected results: put in home directory, with "drawing-1.svg" - click on "Filesystem" and scroll to "tmp". - click "OK" - switch back to first window - Select "File/Save As..." expected results: put in home directory, with "drawing.svg" already in the filename entry box.

metadata: general vs. specific in SVG
by Jon Phillips 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

So, one of the things I've wanted to work on is more specific metadata usage per-object which we could hav UI for in Inkscape and for use in Open Clip Art Library. I did some spelunking while doing research on pippin's gegl (next generation gimp library, http://pippin.gimp.org/gegl) and I found how to do this in SVG. The SVG spec defines global and specific per object metadata: SVG 1.1 standard http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/metadata.html SVG 1.2 working draft with more specifics http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20041027/nonvisual.html#external-metadata Its really simple and is spelled out in the SVG 1.1 spec like so: <svg> <metadata>  </metadata> <rect> <metadata>  </metadata> </rect> </svg> Here is what the spec states about the specific metadata: "It is strongly recommended that at most one 'metadata' element appear as a child of any particular element, and that this element appear before any other child elements (except possibly 'desc' or 'title' elements) or character data content. If metadata-processing user agents need to choose among multiple 'metadata' elements for processing it should choose the first one." Thus, what I think would be a good approach is to generalize Kees' document metadata dialog into a panel which can be re-used and then either we add an object metadata dialog (using Jon's panel work), or just attach this functionality to the object properties dialog. Thus, one could select any object and attach the same good ole quality metadata we currently can set to the entire document. Kees what do you think? Others, what do you think? This would be awesome for asset management, right Andy, and would also allow some cool features in compositing multiple elements from Open Clip Art Library...

I forgot about it. It is actually not that handy to have a window in Inkscape which you have to enable to see these messages :( Ad 2. I cannot reproduce this one. Ad 3. Will look into this later. I already knew in the back of my head that Inkscape can be run without UI. On WinXP because the console output didn't work, I forgot about it; thanks for making me remember! Ad 5. Fixed. Had to do with the entry of the radiobutton-widget (which gridtype to use) in the widgetlist. Ad 4. Solution: do not use the axonometric grid with snapping! :P I haven't had time to code the snapping thing yet for the axonometric grid; and it is clear that some generalization of grid/snapping code and mechanism is needed for this to work nicely. At the moment, I haven't changed any of the snapping code, therefore invalid casts result. I am sorry that the axonometric grid commit gives so many warnings/errors. Especially the invalid cast to SPCGrid is nasty. I committed it so all can see what the grid looks like on which I am working, so I can get comments on how to improve things. Use on your own risk! :P

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Tango style icons
by Ronan Zeegers 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

The first idea with this icons theme was not to follow strictly the Tango guideline. I Just wanted a style that fit well with the default tango gtk/gnome icons (open, save, print, preferences...), very minimalist icons and that can be fast and easy to read. Some work and elements from the Tango icons have also been reused. So, Tangoished for this theme is maybe not the best term... I'm award of the new gimp icons that can be found here: http://tango.freedesktop.org/ArtLibreSet I think they don't fit exactly the minimalist idea behind my theme. But I can take a closer look to the Tango guidelines and see if I can change my icons and still stick to the original concept.... @graffoo: > Also can you post a download link? > Yep. Before that, I have to work on lots of stuffs (menu icons) and clean the icons.svg I also have to take a closer look the icons size. The toolbar seems to use a not very conventional 24x24 pix size...

'tabs' in extensions
by Ted Gould 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hey, I've been out of it for a while, so I don't know that I get much of a vote on this... but here's an idea: Instead of making another parameter type for the tabs, we could allow it to be a property of each parameter -- like a group tag. So then all the parameters with the group 'help' would then be put together on the tab 'help'. Then it could be reorganized with other means also. --Ted

Update of Downloads page
by Josef Vybiral 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hello fellow translators, I have updated downloads' page to point to 0.44.1 release. I updated pages for all translations(cz/sk, de, en, es, fr, it) with correct links to files and would like to ask those who did translations to look on downloads page and tell me if I screwed up anything in their translation and how to correct it :-) Missing links (for .tar.bz2 and .package) were removed (commented out in html) until these packages are created(if they are to be created). Also, I have noticed that there is one untranslated paragraph on downloads page for Italian translation. Could Luca or any other Italian speaking guy/girl update it? It is the first paragraph under "Development version/Versioni di sviluppo" heading.
