some proposed layer functionality (UI enhancements)
by Andrius Ramanauskas 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Hi, I just finished one small UI enhancment - ability to create sublayers by using "Create Layer" dialog (patch http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1447043&group_id=9… ), I find it very usefull while I'm creating maps on Inkscape, but I wonder that other are thinking about it. Also, I found two very nice SVG features supported by Inkscape rendering engine, but not available in UI - masks and clipPaths. I tried to think of various ways to implement that in UI and there is a suggestion: - Add menu item "Mask from selection" - Menu item invokes a dialog where user can input: - select if he wants to make a mask or clip path, - enter a label, - view box type (none, user space, object bounding box). This also enables view box properties (x, y, width, height) - select if original object should be removed from layer - select if mask is automatically applied to a current layer - Add properties "Mask:" and "Clipping path" to layer properties dialog and let user select from available clipPath/mask elements - Not sure how this should fit into a layer dialog which (as I understand) is currently developed For a start I will make a prototype for myself without a dialog (mask creation from selection, applying it to a current layer), and if the will be no objections in this list, I will make it with a dialog. So, I'd like to hear that do you think and maybe someone can give me some tips, things not taken into a consideration, etc. Thanks, Andrius

Request for an italian inkscape-user-it list
by Luca Bruno 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Hi all, similarly to inkscape-user-es, surely more than 3 italian users (minimum requirement) asked me for a mailing list where to discuss about graphics and Inkscape in Italian. So I'm asking administrators to create a new mailing list (namely inkscape-user-it or just inkscape-it)... Feel free to contact me if you need more info. Also, please let me know when done in order to announce it to users.

OpenDocument. Was: [Gimp-developer] Photoshop PSD 6 format Spec / Gimp XCF format Spec
by Boudewijn Rempt 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Okay, so it turned out that I was still subscribed under an old email address, but my mailers sends everyone with the current one. Anyway, my fault, and I would like to thank Manish for helping me out of my bewilderment. What I wanted to propose & work on after my 1.5 release is the following: Cooperating on get an OpenDocument specification for layered raster images done and into the OASIS OpenDocument standard. Krita would use that format for its native format, of course, as all of KOffice is moving to OpenDocument. OpenDocument automatically means some choices are made for us: a zip file store, a certain layout inside that store, and xml main document and resources for the binary data. Those choices may not be the best possible technical choices, but Krita already uses a similar mechanism and it seems to work. And since the Gimp and Krita have a different set of capabilities, we'd have to make a flexible and complete specification, one that includes all possible (possibly uninvented as yet) color models, adjustment layers, paths (which Krita doesn't have) and so on. I would really like to cooperate on this, since a standard used by one application isn't a standard at all and since it would mean much better interchange of documents than would be possible through either Photoshop (ancient version 6 or reverse-engineered later versions) or XCF. I'm prepared to do most of the writing & nagging of David Faure about procedures and guidelines, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to do it all on my own. -- Boudewijn Rempt http://www.valdyas.org/fading/index.cgi

zoom buttons in the status bar invisible on OS X
by jiho 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

hi all, recent changes (I believe those made to the swatches panel) induced a change in appearance of the status bar. OSX windows decorations hide the zoom buttons. it was corrected before but the buttons are hidden again in today's svn. thank you in advance for us poor OS X users who do not have control over the window decorations style :-) in addition I had the impression that the panels were under the status bar and not above in some fairly recent svn builds. personally I preferred that but I can just be inventing this... (the drag and drop from the panels is great BTW) JiHO --- Windows, c'est un peu comme le beaujolais nouveau : a chaque nouvelle cuvee on sait que ce sera degueulasse, mais on en prend quand meme par masochisme. --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

This has nothing to do with the chosen file format and everything to do with the implementation. Zip is block based and you can do partial (un)compression. XML need not be parsed 100% for it to be usable. There are applications that can read some items from a huge XML without parsing all, or even most of it. I know this for a fact, I wrote a few. In short; these worries should not effect the standardization efforts. -- Thomas Zander

Hi, I tried to build Inkscape on Mac OS X 10.4, did everything as described on wiki, it seems as everything succeed, but I get an error "You cannot open the application Inkscape.app because it may be damaged or incomplete" while running .app file. Maybe anyone has run into similar problems and knows a quick solution? Thanks, Andrius

The file you want should be on the path src/inkscape . (See previous). Whilst your approach eliminates one source of errors, I can't conceive how a successful build could fail to produce an executable. (You are using the same compiler as you used for Fink? If not your project will not link - this is noted on the wiki page. You can find details in previous posts to this list and/or the bug tracker). If the script is not copying the file, then there has to be something wrong with it, or the instructions for its use. I don't deny that there is still some little room for improvement, and any comments you have will I am sure be taken most seriously. > So I can now successfully contribute to the project. But had no time > yet to investigate the cause of this problem with missing file. O.K. I have to admit that most the time I run the unpackaged executable, and have the support files installed with 'make install', like any other Unix. However, it is rather fine to have a double-clickable bundle that starts X and launches Inkscpae!

win32: separating debug symbols
by Bob Jamison 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

Hi, all, For a while now, there has been a struggle between those of us who want testers to send us full Gdb backtraces, and people who need smaller files to download over their connections. I have been working on a compromise between the two: 1. Separating out the debug symbols into a file named inkscape.dbg, and then stripping inkscape.exe . This takes longer to link, but it preserves all of the debug symbols. 2. For each .exe that we place on a download page, we also provide a compressed copy of its corresponding .dbg file. Now testers do not need to download those many MB of symbols every time, but when a bug happens, they can download the .dbg, do a backtrace, and send the info to us. Now the difference between the 'stripped' and 'unstripped' versions of the builds need only refer to the accompanying DLLs, not the Inkscape executable itself. I committed the makefiles already, and I'm uploading Inkscape0603021243.zip and Inkscape0603021243-dbg.zip. Hope this can help alleviate some of the confusion. I'll post some info on how to use gdb with the .dbg file. Bob (ishmal)

Save as XCF with layers
by Aaron Spike 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I know this has been mentioned before. Some people think it would be handy to save an SVG file from Inkscape as an XCF maintaining layers. I was going to have together a quick output extension in python and an accompanying script-fu for the gimp to make this happen, but I don't think we have the appropriate export options. It would be really fun to have a single command to export all the layers at once to something like filename-0001-layername.png, but I don't know how widely applicable that would be. According to the man page, --export-id forces the object's bbox for --export-area. I think this makes what I want to do impossible. I would suggest we make canvas size ALWAYS default and add an --export-bbox option. This would mean more typing for the people who already use this functionality, but it would IMHO make more sense overall. Aaron Spike

OpenType fonts
by James Kilfiger 02 Mar '06

What is the current level of support for OpenType fonts with postscript-like outlines? It seems to be not at all; my font works well in Scribus (1.32, Win32) and other windows applications, but isn't available in Inkscape (recent svn build). Generally what handles fonts now? freetype, Windows, pango or or or own code? James

Compiling Inkscape in Cygwin
by Sean LeBlanc 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hello, I'm trying to compile Inkscape on Cygwin. I keep getting this during configure: checking for INKSCAPE_CFLAGS... checking for INKSCAPE_LIBS... /cygdrive/c/gtk/lib/ Package gdkmm-2.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gdkmm-2.4.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found configure: error: Package requirements (gdkmm-2.4 glibmm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxs lt >= 1.0.15 sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.3 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0) were not met. Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively you may set the INKSCAPE_CFLAGS and INKSCAPE_LIBS environment variables to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. The odd thing is that I have downloaded gtkmm devel from here: http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/binaries/gtkmm-devel-2.8.3-1.… Thoughts? -- Sean LeBlanc:seanleblanc@...210... http://sean-leblanc.blogspot.com/ Because it's there. -George Leigh Mallory

Color drag-n-drop
by Jon A. Cruz 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

I just checked in a change to make the style minibar a target for color drag-n-drop. You can now drag colors from the swatches palette onto either the fill or stroke indicators to change the current object. Also, this should work with any apps doing a standard color drag-n- drop. I've tried this with The GIMP and also the 'font and colors' preference settings for gedit. I'd be interested in seeing which other apps do and do not work will with this. Also, since I fixed how color is dragged *from* the swatches, other programs should accept colors dragged from Inkscape.

Panel rework direction mockup
by Jon A. Cruz 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

I've been able to get more progress on the dockable stuff, and generic previews. That's the underlying code that's supporting the color palettes in the main UI. Hopefully we can get things tuned up to improve it to the point were it can be used for many things other than just the color swatches. I've done a quick mockup of where things might be going: notice what's down there next to the color swatches.

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/src/ui/dialo… Hmm, I don't think that typecheck is the best way to address the bug. It's just papering over the real problem... If the problem is that you're sometimes getting a (non-NULL) garbage pointer in dlgPtr, that has to be fixed upstream. It's probably a source of other bugs too. Besides, a typecheck here would only catch a garbage pointer most of the time. Occasionally, the arbitrary data being pointed to will have the right bit pattern... -mental
