We'd decided to attempt to exactly that approach, though the current implementation is very provisional. It's potentially kind of nasty, but not that bad; it should render identically in all conforming SVG UAs, which was the main goal. I think I understand the desire the SVG 1.2 flow stuff is trying to address, though; namely text in generated SVG documents where: * the text can vary greatly in length This necessitates that at least some layout decisions be made at or after the time the final SVG document is generated -- a prepared static template for layout may not be sufficient. * the code generating the text might be a simple ECMAScript program or XSLT transform I've tried implementing basic text flow in XSLT before. It seemed doable (less painfully with sufficiently new revisions of the standard) but it was too much pain and overhead to be done server-side at the time. Doing flow in ECMAScript on the client-side is another option, but at best means another large hunk of script to suck over the web along with the original document, and does require scripting support. -and- * the automatically flowed text should be renderable in any SVG UA (at least one which implements a suitable SVG profile) Since SVG UAs obviously aren't required to implement anything not specified in the standard, using a separate namespace for flow extensions doesn't provide a very strong interoperability guarantee. It's easy to imagine a desire for these things on the Web, which I think implies that SVG needs some sort of basic built-in flow capability (even if people adopt other approaches to meet other sets of needs). -mental

Hi, I extended the german translation (layers, path on text, some translations left on the menue) also I did some finetuning: put the BOLD where the originals also shows the bold btw: there was a question in the translation comments: what is the difference between cut and break a path ? Also there is a new menue point: Inkscape->File->New->"layers" ??? therefore is no translation in the po-file prepared. Thanks, Adib.

align objects and pixel unit
by Yemu 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

hi would it possible to add keyboard shortcuts to align actions. I thikn such shortcuts might be useful because aligning is one of the most often used actions when creating vector graphics and necessity to press ctrl+a and then move mouse and then click in order to align objects is IMHO just not user-friendly. would it be possible to add shortcuts for align? i come from the "corel-country" and i'm used to C(enter-horizontally), (c)E(nter-verically),T(op),B(ottom),R(ight),L(eft) keys. unfortunately they are mostly reserved for other actions (i.e elipse, rectangle etc). but that's not a problem i could swith to other keys :-) since i use inkscape mostly for designing website layouts my second question is: would it be possible to add pixel as another unit? it would made exporting images of certain size easier (read: it would made my, and hopefully also others' life easier :-) thanks for the great app! best regards yemu -- www.cezarybiele.com

object properties
by bulia byak 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

I notice the Object Properties dialog has changed. Questions: Why are Title and Description always disabled? What is Label? It's made from the id obviously but pressing Update informs me that it is "invalid". Hey, I did not put it there! Why Inkscape gives me something which he (Inkscape) knows to be invalid? Most importantly, where did the id= field go? We must keep a way to edit id, even if we add more stuff to this dialog.

Static c++ lib efforts
by Bob Jamison 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Hi, all, Today I started working on rebuilding Inkscape with static C++ libs. Here are the things I performed: 1) Rebuilt gcc with --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-shared This resulted in a libstdc++.la file like this: =========== SNIP ============== # libstdc++.la - a libtool library file # Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.4a-GCC3.0 (1.641.2.256 2001/05/28 20:09:07 with GCC-local changes) # # Please DO NOT delete this file! # It is necessary for linking the library. # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='' # Names of this library. library_names='' # The name of the static archive. old_library='libstdc++.a' # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs=' -lm -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../.. -lgcc -lc' # Version information for libstdc++. current=6 age=0 revision=2 # Is this an already installed library? installed=yes # Files to dlopen/dlpreopen dlopen='' dlpreopen='' # Directory that this library needs to be installed in: libdir='/usr/local/lib' ================ SNIP =================== 2. ) I built boehm-gc6.3 with: --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-cplusplus 3.)

Most of the others would be on every Linux machine. Some, like the X libs and Glib/Gtk, are dynamic-only, as they load other libs dynamically. 5.) Now here's a PROBLEM!!! Do we really use the C++ part of Boehm-GC? I would like to remove that dependency. Because when we make the gimpgrad.so plugin, our use of static libs gives us duplicate symbol errors. This is similar to Win32 DLL's, in that when you make a standalone shared object, everything must be defined explicitly, unlike in an executable. Can we remove libgccpp.a as a dependency? I think Mental has wrappers around the C part instead. Below is the link error with gimpgrad.so. Anyway, that's how it goes so far. I hope others will give this a try. Cheers!

Cleanup of file import & drag-n-drop
by Jon A. Cruz 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

I noticed that the code in the drag-n-drop for input is a copy-n-paste duplicate of code that used to be in file.cpp. At the moment it's duplicated by the extension mechanism, so we get two different code paths executed for dragging a file onto a doc versus importing a file via File|Import... menu item. I was thinking that these should be changed, with the duplicated (and stale) code in interface.cpp removed and calling that in file.cpp. Are there any subtlties I might be missing in here, or is it just a classic rogue tile bug pattern and in bad need of that cleanup?

static builds?!

Nobody has volunteered to provide static builds so far, though many people want to test them. It's really bad because it may delay the release - I don't think we can make the final release after less than a week of static prerelease testing. Anyone?

last change to gradients
by bulia byak 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

I made the automatically created new gradients garbage-collectable. I hope this is the last change to gradients for this release, it was necessary because otherwise it was easy to grow the gradient list out of proportions (though it was also easy to shrink it by vacuuming defs, but this could crash Fill&Stroke; now it does not mind when gradients are deleted from under it). However when a gradient is edited (e.g. stops added), it is not autocollectable anymore. Please test this as thoroughly as you can. Here's the complete Release Notes entry for gradients: * When you switch an object to gradient fill or stroke, the new gradient is created with that object's previous fill or stroke color going from 1 to 0 opacity (instead of the hardcoded black-to-white fully opaque gradient as before). New objects do not share gradients now, except when you switch to gradient multiple selected objects with the same fill color (you can also explicitly set two or more objects to use the same gradient by selecting it in the list in the Fill and Stroke dialog, or by pasting style from one object to another). Newly created gradients are automatically garbage-collected when no longer used; however, when you edit a gradient in the Gradient Editor, it becomes sticky and can only be removed, when not in use, by the Vacuum Defs command.

Project Status 2004-11-01
by Bryce Harrington 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

We're in the run-up to another release, and as can be seen by the dent in the bug count since last report, things are going well. Some progress was achieved this weekend on the layer UI, but there is still work to be done. There's also now nearly a full year's worth of status data, and it's interesting to compare today's numbers with those we started from. To me the most striking number is the linecount. According to the statistics, Inkscapers have added almost twice as many lines of code and comments as we started with. The growth in documentation is also quite noteworthy. Also for the first time we have more subscribers to our announce list than membership on our devel list. I wonder if that indicates something? :-) Statistics Nov 15 May 15 Oct 15 Nov 1 ========== ====== ====== ====== ===== Lifetime Rank on SourceForge: 4391 1028 687 684 (68.5%) (92.7%) (95.2%) (95.2%) Max Week's Rank on SourceForge: 62 36 124 62 (99.6%) (99.8%) (99.3%) (99%) Total SF Page Views * 475,000 1,339,114 1,487,659 Total SF Downloads * 27,400 63,869 69,078 Total Freshmeat URL Hits 746 * 11,465 11,849 Total Freshmeat Subscriptions 16 74 124 125 Lines of Code in src/: 115,901 189,116 303,783 306,602 Code lines 147,471 216,027 217,198 Comment line 16,757 52,421 53,262 Blank 25,886 41,872 42,699 Lines of Docs in doc/: 1,135 4,544 16,841 16,841 Lines of content in website: 1,173 6,008 7,840 8,121 Size of the Inkscape wiki: 3,700 18,638 22,459 18,977 Bugs open/total: 9/15 57/365 135/653 104/683 Features open/total: 18/18 183/238 263/406 279/426 Patches open/total: 1/ 6 4/ 83 7/126 7/130 CVS Commits (as per inkscape-cvs): 481 3391 7,860 8,279 Inkscape-devel membership: 49 78 109 108 Inkscape-announce membership: 9 43 98 113 Inkscape-user membership: 71 138 144 Num Translations : 33 33 Ave Translation Ratio: 35.0% 38.5 * - Statistics unavailable

typos, but this time in source code
by Arpad Biro 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Hi, The current CVS does not compile, possibly because of #include "extenstion/extension.h" lines in src/extension/init.cpp and src/extension/system.cpp. Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

one gradient for multiple objects
by David Christian Berg 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

When you want multiple objects to have the same userpace gradient you have to group them now (was already this way in the build I had from cvs in mid october). That sucks, since maybe you don't want to group them because there are objects between them (z-order wise). Now, I think the problem is that for each object there is a new gradient created on switching to gradient from solid. Therefore right after the switch you have two objects with two different gradients selected and hence can't edit the gradient(s).

windows builds?
by bulia byak 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Sorry to be pushy, but the crash on save Windows bug is very bad, and I want to check asap if JonCruz fixed it or not. Right now I don't have time to set up windows builds on my machine, so I rely on http://inkscape.org/win32-snap/. However the latest build there is from 29 oct. Is there a newer one somewhere?

0.40pre1
by Ted Gould 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Okay, I've made a tarball for 0.40pre1 so that people can make packages for testing. This is not feature complete for 0.40, but it would be nice if everyone could use this to find more bugs. We want to continue our tradition of having quality releases! Also, we'd like to find any packaging bugs that may have shown up. https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=991… Thanks everyone for their help! --Ted

can't undo delete layer
by David Christian Berg 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

just got myself the newest cvs to find some bugs. I noticed, that undoing deleting a layer is not possible. I'd call that a mayor bug! Also the fontsize of "(root)" in the combobox in the statusbar is decreased when you have a layer selected. Strange, I'd say.
