undo crash
by bulia byak 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Mental, I had to revert document-undo.cpp to 1.21 because your version crashes on any attempt to undo with: ** ERROR **: file xml/simple-session.cpp: line 45 (virtual Inkscape::XML::Event* Inkscape::XML::SimpleSession::commitUndoable()): assertion failed: (_in_transaction) aborting... Sorry I didn't discover this yesterday, was too busy with other things. But please do be more careful with testing before committing.

Open Clip Art Library Release 0.12 Announcement
by Jon Phillips 03 Apr '05

03 Apr '05

Open Clip Art Library Release 0.12 Announcement April 1, 2005 UTC — Release 0.12 of the Open Clip Art Library (www.openclipart.org) is now available for download on-line as an individual package consisting of over 3100 images submitted by over 200 artists from around the world. This release also helps us celebrate our first year as a project and provides foreshadowing as to what the rest of this year will bring. Highlights from this release include: * Several previous submissions have been re-converted from their original WMF format using Stephen Silver's new wmftosvg converter * Updated keyword search tool on the website * New imagery related to the March theme of "Spring" During the month of March we received around 200 new images thanks to our many contributors. With everything from flowers to a much improved collection of vehicles, to more food imagery, the community is putting out another great Open Clip Art Library release. In April, we are encouraging people to submit imagery related to "Birthdays." Please share your vector graphics at the Open Clip Art Library.

remembering window size in config
by Artemio 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

Hello all! I indeed know that it's possible to store window geometry in the .svg files, but now I have this feature turned off. It comes out not really useful in sutuations like described below. What if I want Inkscape to always start maximised, but my friend whom I share my works with wants his Inkscape to start not maximised but with a given window size? All apps I know remember minimised/maximised status and geometry in their configs. Is it possible to be added to Inkscape too, or this is not something you consider needed? Thanks! Artemio.

NEW: snapping improvements
by bulia byak 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

- When several objects (or a group) are selected and the "snap points" mode is active, only the outermost points or nodes will snap, instead of all points in selection. [patch by Eric Jonas] - In the "snap points" mode, a text object will snap its baseline anchor (the left end of the baseline) to grid or guides. That anchor point is visualized as a little square mark when a text object is selected.

Rotation anchor point & Inset/Outset functionality
by Joshua A. Andler 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

I'll probably be told to file and RFE, but... Is there by chance an option that I don't know of so that Inkscape can remember where you've moved the "anchor" or center of rotation for an object for future use? As far as I know, currently when you move that little + ("anchor") to some other position, when you switch to move mode and then back to rotation mode, the "anchor" is centered on the object again. It would be helpful for going back to edit objects between sessions of work (and even within the same one), if it could remember where you last had it. One thing that would be helpful either way though is for you to be able to do our new favorite "ctrl+click" on the anchor to get it back to the center of the object again. (yes I know it's easy and I can switch selector modes and go back and it's back in the center, but not switching tools is even easier than that) And this ties into a thought I had about Inset/Outset... would it be possible to have those functions "weighted"? Basically by using that "anchor" like for rotation, it could possibly pull the inset offset in a different direction other than purely centered. I guess the equivalent for how it would function would almost be like on radial gradients how you can pull the center to some other location and it "weights" the coloring. I know that the inset/outset stuff currently is a fixed amount so it will probably not work, but it was just a thought. I'm sure that once we also have the object transform (from one shape to another) that will probably handle what I'm looking for too though. -Josh

NEW: baseline align & distribute
by bulia byak 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Improvements in Align & Distribute dialog: o The new Unclump button works the same as in the Tile Clones dialog, except that it unclumps the selected objects instead of the tiled clones of the selected object. o Four new buttons let you align or distribute horizontally or vertically the baseline anchors of the selected text objects (non-texts are unaffected by these buttons). A text object's baseline anchor is the left end of its first character's baseline, visualized as a small square mark when the text is selected. Now you can easily align or distribute lines of text in different fonts or sizes, regardless of whether they have letters with extenders (such as 'y' or 'j') or not. o All the icons in the dialog are redrawn in a consistent style. Buttons are rearranged for clarity. Tooltips are made shorter and easier to understand. Also, Simarilius is planning to move his "Grid arrange" dialog as a second tab to the Align & Distribute dialog.

Strange transparency behaviour opening old files
by Lucas Vieites 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Hi, I'm currently using Inkscape 0.41 and when I open up old files, created with 0.39, all the objects that have a gradient fill appear with the correct gradient, but with transparency. I'm attaching an svg file and a png I exported when I created the original, so you can see the difference.

Extension errors
by Mike Hearn 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Hi, Currently Inkscape seems to store a list of extensions it's seen before somewhere, I am not sure where. This causes problems for people who use the autopackages because if they have installed Inkscape before from say apt-get, they probably pulled in various apps along with it like Dia etc and also the plugins. They then install the autopackage and these extensions disappear and now Inkscape gives them an error whenever they start. I don't think having an extension be removed is really an error, could this behaviour be changed? It's already a preference to not show these logs at startup, maybe it could just default to off? Also I'm afraid I spotted a stupid bug in the specfile, it was not installing any extensions at all. So here is the 3rd revision of the 0.41 autopackage <sigh>: http://navi.cx/~mike/inkscape/inkscape-0.41-3.x86.package Could it be uploaded to SourceForge and the website changed please? Apologies for the inconvenience. This sort of dumb mistake does remind me why I recommend to others that developers should package their own stuff (a rule I ignored for Inkscape because I needed testing :). I would love for an Inkscape developer - ie somebody who *really* understands this software - to take over maintenance of the autopackages, even if I continue to do the nightly builds. If nobody is up for it then no matter, I will carry on with it. But I think users would have higher quality packages if a dedicated Inkscape developer were to do it. To give people a taste of what is involved, I pasted the specfile I'm using below. The build system isn't complicated at all. Enhancing the packages would involve doing things like making the gtkspell dependency optional at runtime so it could be enabled, and so on. thanks -mike [Meta] RootName: @inkscape.org/inkscape:$SOFTWAREVERSION ShortName: inkscape DisplayName: Inkscape Vector Graphics Editor Summary: Inkscape is an open source SVG editor with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw and Visio SoftwareVersion: @VERSION@ Maintainer: The Inkscape team <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Packager: Mike Hearn <mike@...333...> PackageVersion: 3 AutopackageTarget: 1.0 [Description] Inkscape is an open source SVG editor with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, Visio, etc. Supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, node editing, svg-to-png export, grouping, and more.

User levels, post editing, and such
by Jonathan Leighton 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Okay, I had a look at the WordPress we have running on the site today, and discovered that users of the same level cannot edit each other's posts. Personally, I think it would be good if they could because then we could all help each other in terms of spell checks, tweaks, etc -- which would hopefully result in higher quality posts. Apparently, according to those in the know about such things, prior to WordPress 1.5, people were complaining because people with the same user level *could* edit each other's posts, so they changed it like it is now. However, I am also told that a plugin could be written to change this behaviour back. Before plunging in and trying to do so, I thought I'd better check that such behaviour is desirable. If so, I'd only make it possible for the devs, who have had their user level raised, because we wouldn't want people submitting drafts that can be edited by anyone with an account. On this note, I'd just like to explain one thing: I chose a user level of 5 for developers because if you go any higher, you start getting into configuration options and stuff -- I didn't want to over-complicate things, and I'm really the only person who needs to worry about configuration. For a full explanation of what the different user levels do, have a look here: http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels. If anyone objects to my decision of the default developer user level, do feel free to say so. Jon -- Jonathan Leighton aka. Turnip http://turnipspatch.com/ | http://digital-proof.org/

Parser warning

Documentation Brainstorming for Shape Controls
by Kevin Wixson 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Inkscape has wonderful capabilities, among them, the ability to edit basic shapes after they've been initially created via the various shape tools stands out. There isn't, as far as I can tell, any consistent or particularly descriptive way of talking about these capabilities presently in use. I need some help coming up with a clever and descriptive name for the ability to edit shapes (polygon, rectangle, ellipse, spiral) with their respective tools (and the Tool Controls bar). "Shape Control" doesn't quite cut it, imo. Just looking for some brainstorming on this, so please throw out some suggestions. Thanks, -Kevin

keys.xml and "# toggle grid and snapping to grid"
by Luca Bruno 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hi all, I'm translating keys.svg in Italian. I've found that the shortcut for "toggle grid and snapping to grid" is the #, which from the document seems to be mapped on Shift+3... On the italian layout it's mapped only to AltGr+à (yes, strange key :), while on Shift+3 we have "£"... No other shotcut use AltGr combination, so I ask if is possible to change this shortcut to something more natural for us. Thanks, Luc@ P.S. the translation is not yet finished, but i've attached my work so far, for the inclusion in CVS. I'm working on keys.xml, I'm right? I've found also keys.fr.xml, but I cannot find a makefile entry for it...

NEW: more clonetiler fun: color, tracing, unclumping
by bulia byak 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

There's quite a lot of new stuff to announce - if you don't feel like reading all this, just scroll down for screenshot links :) "Tile Clones" dialog improvements: - The new Color tab allows you to change, randomize, or alternate the hue, saturation, and lightness of the tile color per row or per column. You can also set the initial color of the tiles to which these alterations will apply. Changing color works only if the clones' original (or some parts of it, if the original is a group) has unset fill or stroke (use the Fill&Stroke dialog to unset paint). http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.42-CVS-tiles-color.png Note the new HSL color sliders (replacing the old HSV). - The new Tracing tab allows you to trace the drawing under the tiling. You can set it to pick color, opacity, or any or the RGB or HLS channels in the area covered by each tile; then optionally randomize, invert, or gamma-correct the picked value; and finally apply that value to the tile's probability of presence, size, color, or opacity (or any combinations of these). This makes it possible to do an infinite amount of effects on drawings (both vector drawings and imported bitmaps), such as tesselated mosaics, "impressionist paint", geometric grids, color separation lattices, and more. You can also easily control the extent and the density of your tiling by preparing a temporary shape and tracing opacity-to-presence over it, or you can "paint over" a stroke with a pattern or randomized scattering. http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.42-CVS-trace-color.png http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.42-CVS-trace-objects.png If the original tile is a group, you can unset paint on some objects on the group while others (e.g. highlights or shadows) will retain their original colors, unaffected by trace coloring. - The new Unclump button attempts to reduce local unevenness in distribution of the tiles. When you unclump a tiling, each tile tries to move to a point equidistant from its closest neighbors. If a single unclumping is not enough, you can press Unclump repeatedly, trying to achieve a balance between eliminating small-scale clumps and preserving large-scale features of the tiling. Unclumping works equally well on both randomized and regular tilings, changing them both into a characteristic texture which appears random, but not blindly random - very similar to what a human would produce if asked to evenly fill a space with random dots. As a result, properly unclumped dot tilings remind of hand-made engravings. http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.42-CVS-tiles-unclump.png Notice how the contrast and detailedness of the dot pattern improve as you apply unclumping repeatedly (top right) - even though unclumping is unaware of the background image that was traced by the tiling, it seems to bring out more image details that were "hidden" in the random scattering. You can also apply unclumping to regular tilings, converting them from "newspaper print" to "old engraving" (bottom right). - On all tabs, controls have been rearranged into a table-like layout for more convenient access. Separate controls are added for alternating values per row or per column, as well as for randomizing each value separately (e.g. now you can randomize only the horizontal shifts but not vertical). - The new Exponent values on the Shift tab allow you to make rows or columns to exponentially converge (for values less than 1) or diverge (for values greater than 1). The default of 1 creates rows and columns spaced evenly. - The upper limits for scales and shifts are increased (from 100% to 1000% of tile size), and the precision of the input fields is higher. - There's a mini-statusbar at the bottom of dialog which shows the number of tiled clones of the selected object.

David Christian Berg's icon theme
by Jean-François Lemaire 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hello, David Christian Berg told me recently that he won't have time to finish is icon theme in the near future, but since his theme is complete enough for me, I suggest that it should be committed. So I am about to upload a screenshot of an Inkscape session with his theme (http://users.skynet.be/jflemaire/fichiers/Inkscape_session.png) and a blurb for the website news. Some questions, though: - Should I upload the whole lot (the icons.svg file, the PNG screenshot and the blurb) on the patch tracker or somewhere else? - If I understand correctly, the only way to change the icon theme is by putting the 'icons.svg' file into the '$INSTALL/share/inkscape/icons' directory. But what if a user does not have write access to this directory? - Since I'm running KDE, some stock icons are different (such as open and save) because they are taken from the stock KDE icons. It shows on the screenshot. Is that a problem? Jef

Inkscape website in French
by Jean-François Lemaire 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hello, Would it be possible to have the news in French on the website? Some kind of French version of the homepage or something. I would be willing to make the translations if that were possible. For example, http://www.linuxgraphic.org links to the Inkscape website when a new version is released, and I suppose the French users (or potential users) would very much like to be able to read the news. The same goes for the release notes, I guess. And before someone says everybody reads English, let me assure your that this is not true. Almost none of my (Belgian) French-speaking friends can understand English, let alone read it, and the situation is generally said to be worse in France (no offence intended towards our French friends, of course. That's just the way it is.). Jef

RE: [Inkscape-devel] Inkboard - RPM for first release

Well, the release notes have a description of what's working as well as submitting bugs: Basic one-to-one document editing functionality exists in this initial release. You can login to a Jabber server and initiate a connection with another user. You can then make changes to the document and they will be sent to the sharing user and any changes they make will be sent to you. There are many bugs and surely more that we don't know about. Please use the Bug Tracker on SourceForge ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=113865&atid=666480 ) to submit any new bugs. We plan to have another release at the end of this week that addresses several bugs we already know about as well as adding some more functionality. For example, the v0.1 release doesn't attempt to send the initial document when creating a new share connection, but the version in CVS successfully sends an initial document. The initial release can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=113865. The distcheck missing was in Linux(Fedora Core 3 to be specific).

Well, intltool is what manages the translations. So you probably wouldn't notice any errors that were caused by it if you only used Inkboard in English. Sounds like a macro problem, but that would be really weird, probably better to fix distcheck first. Was distcheck missing on Linux or Windows? I'm not sure if it is supposed to exist in the Windows makefiles. It should be there for Linux. --Ted

That will analyze it for packaging errors. The most common cause of errors with RPM's is file paths. RPM's get installed into an arbitrary directory location, so if parts of your build process assume that a file is in a particular location (like /etc or /usr/share/inkscape), that could potentially mess it up.

Patch to fix compile errors with amd64 and gcc-4.0

Hi, As a few of you know from jabber i have been working on deforming paths. I have finished one function and starting a write the second. before i get much further i need help figuring out what a deform class has to/needs to/ should have in it. here is what i have so far but, they are not all implemented mind you. comments and input more than welcome. class Deform; NR:Point CoordDiff( NR:Point, NR:Point ); NR:Point AdvCoordDiff(); int DeformPath(); int DeformObject(); public: NR:Point GetCoordDiff( NR:Point, NR:Point ); NR:Point GetAdvCoordDiff(); int DoPathDeform(); int DoDeformObject(); Thanks, josh aka verbalshadow
