Hey, I just noticed your email didn't get sent to the list.... sorry I didn't respond; I didn't see it. :) We'll give you group access on sourceforge, and you can just upload it there (not through CVS or the file release section, but to the website area). If you've got CVS changes for packaging, put it in the patch tracker first, then we can move on to CVS.

Using Inkscape.
by Gavin Band 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

Hi, First let me thank the developers for the fantastic Inkscape. I have a couple of questions about its usage. (It's a wish-list, really. I am using Inkscape 0.42.2). First, when using Inkscape on a large file such as this one: http://www.liv.ac.uk/~gband/shift_class_classification.svg it's impossible to zoom out so one can see the whole picture at once. Secondly, it would seem to me that one should "export" to file types which are not rich enough to recover the whole file, and "save" to other file types. But in Inkscape one has to "save as" (for example) Postscript. Then, if you want to keep a master copy for later editing you has to save as .svg as well, forcing you to keep choosing between the two filenames. This also seems inconsistent with the command-line switches where there is a --export-ps switch. Can't "Export bitmap" be turned into "Export", offering a choice of bitmaps, and remembering the chosen filename? Thanks, gav.

Win32 help
by Jon A. Cruz 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

I've got a few bugs open for Win32 issues, and a few ideas on how to address them. What I don't have is a good way to compile or run Win32 tests here on my Mac. :-) What would be helpful would be anyone who could either build win32 versions with some tweaks or anyone who could run quick tests with those builds. Especially given our freeze state, I don't want to check anything in to CVS that hasn't gone through actual build and user testing. So... If anyone could help with either of those aspects (I've had a few people mention this in chat), just drop me a quick email directly and say if you can compile, test, or both. (no need to clutter the mailing lists to responses to this) Thanks.

web-site translation / gettext
by Alexandre Prokoudine 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

Hi, I didn't catch up when you were discussing details of i18n implementation for our beloved www.inkscape.org. All I want is to point out that web-sites can be translated via gettext just like applications. Example is http://audacity.sf.net, where you just download a .pot file (from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/community/translation), translate it in KBabel, poEdit, GTranslator or whatever else and commit it to CVS or send to one of developers. When anything at ("on" is the right preposition?) the site updates, .pot files updates as well (currently manually, but this could be done automatically, I think). Translators then only need to merge changes tro translations and send them back to developer or commit themselves. This is quite handy. I don't know details of implementation, but I think that Matt Brubeck, who is in charge for that site, could help you. His e-mail address is mbrubeck =at= cs.hmc.edu Alexandre

Subject: Just passing along well-earned kudos Message body follows: I've only very recently heard of Inkscape (say in the last couple of months). Recently I downloaded the software and tried it out on a Mac OS X machine, as part of an article I'm researching for my blog. After spending a few hours with Inkscape, I was impressed enough with your work to write a "compare and contrast" review for my blog: http://mikesalsbury.com/mambo/content/view/231/1/ In case you don't have time to read it, I compared Inkscape to Macromedia FreeHand MXa and it compared very favorably. I found a few things in each product I didn't find in the other. Most of what I found in FreeHand that isn't in Inkscape didn't seem to be anything I would personally want, need, or expect to find in an illustration program. Since there's no appropriate forum I can find for communicating this information to the development team for Inkscape (i.e., it's not a bug, not a tip/trick, etc.) I decided to take a moment to write some of the developers directly. I'm very impressed with what you've done and look forward to seeing future releases! -- This message has been sent to you, a registered SourceForge.net user, by another site user, through the SourceForge.net site.

Exposing low-level errors to user?
by Colin Marquardt 15 Sep '05

Hi, should we expose low-level errors such as this example here to users?: #: ../src/jabber_whiteboard/message-utilities.cpp:168 msgid "" "ID for new object is NULL even after generation and lookup attempts: the new " "object will NOT be sent, nor will any of its child objects!" I don't think the intended audience can make any use of this. If this is just meant for debugging, then please don't mark it as translatable. Also, there are some string like this: "%1 has invited you to a " "whiteboard session.\n" Please split the string so that only the part inside the is marked up translatable, i.e. "%1 has invited you to a "whiteboard session."

Compiling problem on win32
by Joshua A. Andler 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

This is too bizarre... with fresh CVS, the newest libs, and a new install of mingw that's all up to date (fresh install, not upgrade), I am unable compile. I have everything in default locations so I am sure that is not the issue. It appears that it might be translation related since it references i18n stuff, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, the compiler dies with the following: ---snip--- In file included from c:/gtk28/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/i18n.h:27, from dialogs/clonetiler.cpp:19: c:/gtk28/include/glib-2.0/glib/gi18n.h:25:1: warning: "_" redefined In file included from dialogs/clonetiler.cpp:14: c:/gtk28/perl/lib/CORE/config.h:3782:1: warning: this is the location of the pre vious definition In file included from dialogs/../verbs.h:16, from dialogs/clonetiler.cpp:28: dialogs/../require-config.h:2:3: #error "Must #include config.h (ifdef HAVE_CONF IG_H) before anything else." make[1]: *** [dialogs/clonetiler.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/cvs/inkscape/inkscape_pedro/inkscape/src' make: *** [dist] Error 2 ---------- If anyone has any ideas, I'd be more than happy to try anything at this point. -Josh

I notice in yesterday's announcement of WinLibre 0.4.0 beta1 (http://www.winlibre.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=323) that it includes inkscape 0.41. You might consider doing something to save yourself from a barrage of "Inkscape gives this nasty error about missing dependencies" questions. One way of addressing this would of course be to switch to 0.42.2 :) . Are there any issues in 0.42.2 (not present in 0.41) that you'd like to tell us? Is the exclusion of 0.42.2 just because you haven't had enough time to test it (and there were some windows problems in the original 0.42), or is there something else? pjrm.

Windows Packaging: WinLibre
by Peter Moulder 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

[Bcc'd to Pierre-Jean Coudert of WinLibre; replies will go to inkscape-devel alone: I don't want to send too much unsolicited mail his way. Pierre-Jean, tu peux voir les réponses à http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=36054 si tu veux, et tu peux me répondre si tu veux que je fasse suivre à inkscape-devel.] Every now and again, we come across packaging problems on Windows, and we say "It would be good to be able to hand these problems off to distributors, as we do for a number of un*x distributions", or "Someone should create a windows package consisting of inkscape, gimp, and perhaps other gtk software, so that they can share libraries." I've just today discovered WinLibre, which does this: http://www.winlibre.com/en/index.php It comes in two variants: a 650kB version that allows you to select which components you want (like a net install of a gnu/linux distribution), or a 171MB version suitable for putting on a CD. However, I don't yet know to what extent WinLibre engages in packaging activities: i.e. do they just grab the Windows binary that we provide, or do they get the source so that they can share libraries between the programs ? (If it gives any clues, the News page mentions handling package dependencies, and that it uses InnoSetup 5.0.) Is there anything we can do to work more closely with WinLibre ? (Another compilation of Free Software for Windows is http://www.theopencd.org/. It has a good reputation, but it doesn't yet include Inkscape, and my impression from a couple of minutes at their web site is that they just use the binaries provided by individual projects rather than do much packaging/integration work themselves. As I say, that's just an impression that may well be wrong.) pjrm.

multiple selection and transform
by jiho 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi list, I would like to gather opinions about a particular usability point of inkscape and maybe suggest a change in the way transformations are applied. When selecting multiple objects and applying any transformation, they are treated as a whole. For example a rotation would rotation all objects around the center of their combination. I think it might be better to apply the same transformation to each object (and rotate each one around it's own center). Indeed, if you want to treat these objects as a whole you already have the possibility of grouping them (which is only one click), applying the transformation and then, possibly, degroup them if you want to further edit each object. On the other hand, let say you want to rotate at 45° twenty horizontal text items around their centers you will have to apply 20 times the same transformation. In addition, consider you want to rotate multiple selected object of 90°, there is at present an "inconsistency" in the transformations: objects are treated as a whole when rotating them with the transform palette but each object is rotated individually when using the "rotate by 90°" buttons of the GUI. Is all that a feature? a bug? or just a matter of taste? ;-) 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/

Just a few more bugs to report with the stroke dialog: 1) on a circle, the stroke width value spin button only increases even when trying to spin down. 2) End Markers a) for a line pointing to 8:00, the start/end marker is reversed, and then won't change b) at times the end marker popup does not display all the choices, or when you select one, it jumps to another. I would rank these as medium level bugs.

The other color it uses is apparently the background color underneath that object. No, of course not. It's only that the DEFAULT gradient goes from opaque to transparent of the same color. Of course you can change both colors and transparency of both ends of gradient (and of additional stops in between, though this is currently less intuitive than it should be). For example in Gradient tool select the bottom handle, open Fill&Stroke or Swatches and assign green color with no transparency to that handle. You can also use the Dropper to assign colors to the gradient handles. Or you can edit the gradient in the Gradient Editor (double click a handle to open it). -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Confirmation of dates for the Gimp? Conference
by Dave Neary 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi all, So - we've decided on dates for the facilities for a GimpCon 2006 - March 17/18/19 in Lyon, France. The provisional plan is to have 2 days "open to the public" presentations of free software graphics software. The third day will continue to be open to the public, but there will be no talks planned. The day is available to developers to do a hackfest, or have meetings, or chat & drink beer. Perhaps all 3 :) I've confirmed talks from Oyvind Kolas on a general image processing talk, featuring his non-linear editor and the (future) new core of the GIMP, a talk from Sven Neumann on the GIMP, and a talk from MrB and mrdocs over at Scribus. I will also be contacting OpenICC, littlecms, GutenbergPrint (formerly GimpPrint), Krita and Xsane, to see if their developers can come, and if they're interested in giving presentations. This is going to be a cool weekend. It'd be great to have a presentation on vector graphics. Unfortunately, I don't know if there are any Inkscape developers in Europe, and if there are, whether ye're interested in getting together. Please drop me a line ASAP. Looking forward to seeing ye in Lyon, Dave. -- David Neary bolsh@...85...

Website translation procedure
by Bryce Harrington 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi all, pistoncito asked about how to do translations of the website currently. I figure this suggests we need some sort of documentation, so here's a start. It sounds like we will need to change this process once we figure out how to do the automatic web browser language detection, but until that gets sorted out, we should use this process. I'll also post this to Wiki so folks can update it as better approaches are worked out for it. http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WebsiteEditing Translating the Inkscape Website ================================ 1. Do a CVS checkout of the website module. 2. Create a subdirectory at the top level with your language code. I.e.: inkscape_web/es/ 3. Copy pages from the main site into your subdir structure, and begin translating them. Look in the other translated areas for examples of what needs translated. Note: The tutorial translations in the doc/ directory are handled separately from the website translation. These are the files in inkscape_web/doc/*/ that have .XX.html extensions. You do not need to do anything about these pages. Note: The translation of doxygen, wiki, and the various SF pages are separate from the website translation. You do not need to do anything about these pages. 4. Add a flag for your language in the images directory. It should be named inkscape_web/images/flag-XX.png. (where XX is your language code). Next add an img for the flag to inkscape_web/includes/header.php See how the other flags are done in that file as an example. 5. Add a news item to the index page announcing your translation. You are encouraged to write it in both English and your native language. 6. If you have CVS access, then commit your changes to the site. See the Website Editing and Working With CVS documentation for directions. If you do not have CVS access, then show your translation to one of the Inkscape administrators for review. They will then give you access to CVS and the website, so you can deploy your changes. Bryce
