effects, Windows, prerelease
by bulia byak 11 May '06

11 May '06

As someone suggested, my problem of effects not working on Windows was indeed due to another Python installed in the PATH. After I removed that, it picked up Inkscape's own python and all worked fine. Therefore, I suggest that we do three things: 1. Designate this as a mustfix bug for the release: Inkscape must always use its own python, not something in PATH. Certainly I'm not the only one with Python installed on Windows, so this issue is bound to happen to other people. 2. Enable extensions/effects by default and remove the prefs setting. I don't know of anything that prevents us from doing that. 3. Release a 0.44pre0. Thoughts? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Tutorials
by Joshua A. Andler 11 May '06

11 May '06

Okay, I've committed the updated Calligraphy & Advanced tutorials in the docbook module and they should be ready for translation updates. If there are any questions on language or terminology (or if you find mistakes/errors), please let me know. I do plan on re-generating the tracing tutorial as soon as I can figure out the problem. Ishmal, if possible could you give me a quick rundown on how SIOX works in Inkscape so I could add that to the tutorial prior to committing? Other than wanting to add SIOX to the tracing tutorial, the only other major change wrt tutorials will be the addition of a new tutorial that covers clipping, masking, and patterns. -Josh

[Bug] Ruler marker does not match cursor
by Mason Thomas 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hi, I have entered a bug in the sourceforge tracker (#1486221) and am also posting it to the list as a courtesy. The ruler markers (little arrows on the rulers that indicate the present cursor position) do not line up with the cursor--when you turn off the scroll bars (Ctrl-B). The markers still seem to retain the correct numerical value for the cursor position on the canvas, but they don't actually line up with the cursor on-screen. -Mason

I don't believe the extentions are powerful enough or stable enough yet, they work very well for the odd export/inport filter but for editing objects? for managing svg in particular ways? for having extenstable options like drop downs ect? I think we should concentrate on getting the extentions to have a nice round api in perl/python/myscripting, where inkscape knows to pass in one objects svg fragment and knows to expect a fragment back, then it knows that to edit that 'object' it calls back to the scripts in a certain way (obviouly what classes as an object being held in the inkscape namespace and all the objects being valid svg).

fixed window size and tools toolbar
by Alexandre Prokoudine 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hi, Probably I should split this email into two emails, but here it goes :) 1. Is there any particular reason for having fixed minimum size of Inkscape's window? For example, when Commands toolbar is hidden, Inkscape still thinks it's shown and makes it impossible to decrease width of the window. As a result, here the minimum width of window is 948 px, which may be okay for regular using (not in all cases), but clearly not okay for screenshots in documentation (think about screenshooting toolbars). Is it limitation of Gtk toolbars in common? Will splitting Commands toolbar into two or more mini-toolbars help? 2. There is a wasted space between toolbar's handle and the first item in Tools toolbar (the context sensitive one), see attached screenshot. That doesn't happen in case of Selector. Can we do something about it? Alexandre

'make check'

'make check' did not report any problems lst time I ran it. The tests with the 'random ints' actually take a bit longer than any of the others and sometimes I get a message about an Alarm Clock. Does this indicate something fixable at my end, or a possible problem with the testing system... Or anything in particular? Ben

SVG Open 2006
by Joshua A. Andler 10 May '06

10 May '06

I was looking to start planning my trip to Victoria and visited http://www.svgopen.org/ and saw a change in dates. I didn't see anyone else mention it on the list, so here goes... SVG Open has been postponed to October 16-19 in favor of a significantly better venue. I'm not sure who plans to go other than myself, so I figured I would share anyway. As for anyone else who is planning on going, we should probably start to try and figure out some basics. It's probably not too early to discuss such things (I'd like to at least know what others are planning on). -Josh

Hi all, I've just noticed that the RSS feed for inkscape.org[1] isn't synced with latest news on the website. It's currently missing at least latest post by rejon. Can anyone please check why and fix it? I remember the feed-generator script is called from a cron (which?), maybe the problem is there or in the switch between CVS and SVN repo...

Kool hack, KDE filechoosers in Inkscape

In case anyone asks again for a KDE file chooser in Inkscape (like Sodipodi used to have) I thought I should point out this cool hack: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=360771 "quick-and-dirty LD_PRELOAD hack that allows *some* Gtk applications to use KDE's file dialogs when run under KDE" ...

more on inkscape dialogs
by Jonathon Jongsma 10 May '06

10 May '06

Can anybody give me the quick 2-minute overview on the relationship between the files in ./src/dialogs/ and the files in ./src/ui/dialog/ ? I know that ./src/ui/dialog/ contains a dialog manager of some sort, but the individual dialogs themselves are pretty skeletal, and the implementations of them seem to be in ./src/dialogs/. Obviously the ./src/ui/dialog stuff is newer since it's all namespaced and gtkmm-ified, whereas the stuff in ./src/dialogs is mostly C/GTK+ and non-namespace qualified. Is the intention to move the implementation stuff from ./src/dialogs into the classes in ./src/ui/dialog, or is the separation intentional? Speaking as a relative newcomer, it's a bit confusing to understand how these things all work together at first. thanks in advance, Jonner

There are multiple student submitted proposals for implementing SVG Filters. This is a HUGE feature for us. Is there any possibility of breaking the implementation plan into bits so that two students could work on different parts of the problem? Aaron Spike

Summer of Code Proposals
by Bryce Harrington 09 May '06

09 May '06

There's been some curiousity about how many proposals were received, topics proposed, etc. etc. I think we need to respect the confidentiality of the process and the students, so we don't want to post the rankings nor the names of the students, however I think it's probably safe to list the titles of the proposals themselves, to help address the basic questions: Adding bitmap processing to InkScape Application for 'memory optimization' and 'bitmap capabilities' Application proposal Automatic kerning for text on path in Inkscape Bucket fill Filter Effects Gtkmm-ification of Inkscape Improving Python Effects API Inkboard Protocol Spec / Lib Conversion Inkscape / GIMP Bitmap Editing Integration Memory Optimization Memory Optimization New Grids PDF Export Extension PDF export capability for Inkscape Proposal for SOC06 Proposal for implementing colour definitions, as well as management of gradients and patterns SVG Filters SVG filters Standalone palette editor Support for SVG Filters Text Tool Improvements There are a number of factors that will go into determining which are selected, but ultimately the choice is going to be made by those participating in the mentorship process. If you are qualified and willing to serve as an Inkscape mentor, you can participate in the ranking process as well; contact me offlist to work out the details. Bryce

dialogs without decoration
by Aaron Spike 09 May '06

09 May '06

Simon Budig (the guy who wrote the curve draging that we stole from GIMP) popped into IRC this morning because his document preferences dialog comes up with out decoration. http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/files/inkscape-problem.jpg After tapping F12 it comes back with decoration. Does anyone else using the sawfish window manager experiences this? He also mentioned that his dialogs appear on the screen in one place and seem to jerk away into position. This I can confirm on WinXP. And it seems that my dialogs here are not saving their positions across sessions, but I need to check that a few more times to be sure. Aaron Spike

whiteboard on windows

I've just uploaded a new library bundle: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/gtk28-060505.7z and committed the changes to the makefiles that gets inkboard building by default on windows. I think we should disable whiteboard in this release and provide an unofficial build with it enabled for those who are adventurous but why not play with it now. :-) You'll need to do a `make clean` again.

Hi all. I am posting here for I am applying for a Google Summer of Code project on Inkscape. My proposal is to implement filter effects to Inkscape. (for more details, please see http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/kiirala/soc_fe.html ) Bulia Byak, you asked for some C++ code. Here's one project I have done: http://niko.kiirala.com/polygoni.tar.bz2 (maybe not too good a project to show off: it may need minor modifications to compile - though on my computer it did compile. Also, originally it was written for directdraw on 32-bit computer, now it works with sdl on 64-bit computer. And it has lots of Finnish...) -- Niko Kiirala niko@...1267... http://niko.kiirala.com/
