All three work fine. >Agreed. And why do we default to SVG plus extension namespace on "save as", >rather than straight SVG? Because "straight SVG" is for special occasions only. It loses a lot of Inkscape functionality. In fact, it's more of an export than save. Normally, you want to store your Inkscape documents as SVG with extensions, so this is justifiably the default. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Release - Need translations
by Ted Gould 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Well, we're really close. We need 1 more bug to get to our 10%, and there are two candidates for being fixed (the more the better though). I think that we'll probably release at the end of the weekend, or very early next week. If you're someone who is translating Inkscape, if you could get the translations in by the end of the weekend I think we can get them into 0.38. I don't think any strings will be changed between now and then. Also, I've updated all the .po files in CVS - so they should have all the strings in them now. Thanks, Ted

Right, strictly speaking sharpness also depends on the angular positions of handles - skewed tips are sharper than straight ones with the same radii. However the label must be one word, maximum two, as long explanations won't fit. Please feel free to propose a better one-word term than "sharpness". >I see it now. What I tried was to raise only 1 item of a group (after >Ctrl+clicking it), and Inkscape did not raise this item above an >ungroupped object -- but this was a bad thing to test with, because >Inkscape does not give this message then. There's no error message because it's not an error - it does in fact moves the selected object within its group. So this may be not what you expected, but it's a successful operation from Inkscape viewpoint, and we don't report on successes (with some exceptions, such as "Document saved."). >The point I was trying to make with all this is that we are talking >about "different groups or layers", but those objects do not both have >to be in a group, and we have only 1 layer in Inkscape right now.

Right, more correct would be "You cannot raise/lower objects from different groups or layers, or grouped objects together with ungrouped ones", but IMHO it's too wordy, and the part after comma adds nothing really useful for the user, it's kinda implied. What do others think? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

True, this may be useful sometimes too, but it's not for a global verb. It would be nice to have it as a checkbox in the Transform dialog or next to the top panel's Rotate field. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee� Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

>Does anyone else find it annoying that when using another tool, you >can't select all with ctrl-a You can. It's a global verb, although it works differently in node tool. , and shift into selection mode? Also, I >wonder if there could be shortcut keys associated with rotate 90 deg CW >and 90 deg CCW. There are. Look up Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] in the reference. There is a problem with them, however: these keys are only valid in selector, while the buttons on the toolbar call a different function and are global verbs without shortcuts. Those global rotates are broken (try rotating several selected objects, it rotates each one separately instead of rotating the selection as a whole) and need to be removed anyway. And the reason why the [, ] rotates are not global is that they work differently in node editor (rotate node handles). So what needs to be done is this: - rewrite the global rotate verbs so that they find out the current tool and call different functions in node tool and in all other tools. An example of such tool-sensitive verb is Ctrl+A whence you can borrow the check code. - assign the Ctrl+[] shortcuts to these global verbs and remove these keys from select-context.cpp. This might be a good project for you :) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

Open/Save dialogs

Hey, I changed the open and save dialogs so that they have listings of all the extensions that are available to be saved with. Unfortunately, I don't have a win32 system to put the changes over there. I think that I have ported over the API changes (so it should build) - but not the code. Can someone port the changed code? I guess someone should also make sure that I didn't screw up the build too :) --Ted

InkScape Icons (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 23:19:27 +1000 From: Gerwood <gerwood@...289...> To: bryce@...58... Subject: InkScape Icons Bryce A quick explanation. I found out about inkscape less than a week ago and so far have found it a brilliant program to use. I am sending to you an icon I have created for it (for use in gnome). I figured you might like to start a collection or similar. Thank you for this program. Incidently I did also try sodipodi and I realise that they are from the same source originally. I chose inkscape though because I preferred the interface. I thought you would also like to know that I found inkscape to be very, very easy to use. I have already started on my own icon set as a result. Again thank you and the rest of those who are working on this program. Gerwood Stewart (p.s. do what you will with the icon).

I think it's correct.

No. You cannot even select a group and an item within that group at the same time, there's a check for that.

Inkscape strings
by Arpad Biro 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hi, I have a few questions about some of the translatable strings in the Inkscape sources: "Ratio of tip and base radii of points" (src/toolbox.cpp) What's "base radius" and "tip radius"? Does "point" mean "corner" here? ---------------------------------------------------- "You cannot group objects from different groups or layers." (src/selection-chemistry.cpp) "You cannot raise/lower objects from different groups or layers." (src/selection-chemistry.cpp) "You cannot combine objects from different groups or layers." (src/path-chemistry.cpp) First of all, what do you mean by "layer"? Taking a look at the sources it seems that what we really mean by these 3 strings is something like "objects with different parents". Probably these strings could be worded a bit better. You can't raise a grouped item (without raising the rest of the group), but you can raise the whole group, right? The "raise" string talks about "different groups", which does not apply to this case. This string needs rewording the most (of the 3 above). If you select a grouped item with Ctrl, you can't group it together with an ungrouped item, but you can group the group itself with that ungrouped item (right?). IMHO this shows that the other 2 strings could also be worded better. Of course this depends on what you call a "layer". Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

crash in IntLigne::Copy on windows

Fred, SF tracker is down so I'm writing you directly with another bug :) Since after 23rd, Inkscape on Windows started to crash when doing node editing or freehand drawing. The crash is not instantaneous, but it 100% happens after a few motions. Freehand crashes while you're still drawing a line which is not yet finalized, so this crash has to do with ctrlline rendering and not the regular renderer. Here's the backtrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0059ea5d in IntLigne::Copy(int, BitLigne**) () (gdb) bt #0 0x0059ea5d in IntLigne::Copy(int, BitLigne**) () #1 0x00590b08 in nr_pixblock_render_bpath_rgba(Shape*, unsigned, NRRectL&, char *, int) () #2 0x0058fe7b in sp_canvas_bpath_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #3 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #4 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #5 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #6 0x004692e0 in sp_canvas_paint_rect(_SPCanvas*, int, int, int, int) () #7 0x004694ab in paint(_SPCanvas*) () #8 0x004676a7 in idle_handler(void*) () #9 0x00c5c865 in ??

Hello All, I'm giving another presentation that kinda involves Inkscape at UC Berkeley on April 04, 2004. Please see http://art.berkeley.edu/040404/ if you are interested in attending. It should be very interesting. The event is free I believe and has food and whatnot. I will post info on the talk to the WIKI shortly. It is an overview of a framework I'm calling Vector Aesthetics. I will only discuss post-Bezier art/design/etc at the talk, but will end with Inkscape short-note. Anyone seeking help, or wants to have a little mini-meeting in the area, then please stop into that talk.

How to get up-to-date PO/POT files
by Arpad Biro 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hi, How can the current PO/POT files be obtained/generated? (I mean, files that contain the very latest English strings.) Are they updated automatically or do we have to update them by hand?

Nobody has shown how to transform a gradient mesh >into a gradient field (a very good name actually). I'm not a mathematician; I'm a designer. I think I can approximate well enough (for design purposes) most useful meshes using ellipses, and a still better approximation is possible with blurred strokes of blur filter on shapes. See the current about.svg for a crude example. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee� Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

>I think we're best off providing UI to utilize the features we do have >from SVG; And from Sodipodi. It's amazing how much stuff we can render but lack creation tools for. Bitmap fills, patterns, masks, clones (svg:use), multistage gradients... All we need for these is just UI and some bugfixing, and voila. This should be one of the main directions of Inkscape development IMHO. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
