svg icons
by Robert Crosbie 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

Just to confirm. Our preference is to try and load our icons from svg first and then default to xpm? I seem to remember reading something contrary to that in a code comment, not sure where now. Currently, I'm only looking at the xpm images when adding to the IconFactory, but I was planning on fixing that tonight.

cvs update
by Mael 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

Hello, when I browse cvs (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/src/) everything is at least 5 days old, why can't I see the last changes ? I'm trying to update my local cvs to try Robert Crosbie changes concerning icons but can't get recent files (CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@...54...:/cvsroot/inkscape). What am I doing wrong ? M

While the original "download" webpage was fairly empty, the addition of the cvs-snap/ directory might make it more meaningful. At present, there isn't really any other good place to put a link to the nightly tarballs. What do the web folks think about putting download.php back into service looking something like: Sourceforge Releases -------------------- http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 Nightly CVS Tarballs -------------------- Current: http://www.inkscape.org/cvs-snap/inkscape-current.tar.bz2 Historical: http://www.inkscape.org/cvs-snap/ -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

transformation innaccuracies
by Robert Crosbie 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

I noticed the transformations applied to objects is quite inaccurate: <rect width="200.000000" height="200.000000" x="100.000000" y="100.000000" style="font-size:12;fill:#808080;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke-width:1pt;" id="rect562" /> Opening the transformations dialog and applying 10 horizontal gives this: <rect width="200.000000" height="200.000000" x="112.500000" y="99.9999695" style="font-size:12;fill:#808080;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke-width:1pt;" id="rect562" /> Also, If I take that original square and rotate it 10, I get this: <rect width="200.000000" height="200.000000" x="62.2319183" y="131.691177" transform="matrix(0.984808,-0.173648,0.173648,0.984808,0.000000,0.000000)" style="font-size:12;fill:#808080;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke-width:1pt;" id="rect562" /> Why have my x and y changed? Shouldn't the matrix handle all aspects of the transformation and leave x and y as they were?

Website broken links and stylesheets
by Alan Horkan 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

http://www.inkscape.org/ "November 13, 2003 - Tvon is working on the look and feel for the website. A version without CSS <URL:http://home.etria.org/nocss.html> is also available, as well as the original mockup. " The link i've inlined in the text above does not work, I would suggest putting an editorial note [Broken] to indicate the link is no longer available. As the web page designer is willing to provide a no CSS version it would be great if (s)he could specify a title for the style sheet and specify default/alternative so that users of Mozilla and Opera can easily turn off the stylesheet by choosing View -> Use Style. (I've just learnt CSS recently, dont ask me any difficult questions please :) In future would you prefer if I posted a bug report instead of emailing the list? (or is there a web maintainer I should mail directly, the is none indicated in the usual place, at the bottom of the page). Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/ (this was another mail left languishing in my drafts folder all week, the webpage has switched over to the new design since then and it is sweet)

menu layout - small suggestion
by Yemu 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

i've just tried BORKEN branch and i like it a lot. i have a small idea though: i think that first menu item called "Inkscape" now, should be renamed to "About" and moved to the right end of the menu bar. cause in most applications "File" is always the first menu item, and this is what users are used to (me too :-) thanks to all developers for great improvements! when do you plan 0.36? best regards yemu

[ 845018 ] save crash
by Robert Crosbie 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

Here's a patch to fix the save crash bug. It appears the wrong variable was being passed when the type was autodetect. There are still a few problems with saving/opening files, but at least it doesn't crash. - autodetect fails if no extension is added to filename (.svg) - on quit, still says I have unsaved changes, even though I saved - can't open compressed svg unless it has .svgz extension. cvs won't let me commit and gives me this error: cvs server: sticky tag `1.4' for file `system.c' is not a branch cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first! Index: src/modules/system.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/inkscape/inkscape/src/modules/system.c,v retrieving revision 1.2 diff -r1.2 system.c 172c172 < sp_module_db_foreach(save_internal, (gpointer)&omod); --- > sp_module_db_foreach(save_internal, (gpointer)&parray); Rob. http://members.rogers.com/rcrosbie _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

Re: the GUI changes on the BORKEN tag
by Bob Jamison 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

I checked it out, built it (with no problems), and gave it a try. I really like it a lot. The original layout might be familiar to users who also use the Gimp, but I think this would be more amenable to desktop artists. IMHO, if this breaks nothing, it would be well to mainline this branch. Good job. Bob

I've created a /cvs-snap directory off the main website. There is an update.sh script (that needs execute bits...) in inkscape_project/tarball/update.sh.

New SDI Interface
by Cédric GEMY 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

-- I like it wel and it is much butter than previous. May be I should have stored Groups/Combine & Superposition Menus in an "Object" Menu. It's the case in Adobe Illustrator and I find it successful and logical. For Zoom is just a screen effect for displaying object, it's a good thing to have a specific menu for zoom factors directly in document window. May be it would possible to delete the Zoom group in the toolbox. At the end, just a question about Inkscpae Language. Is there anybody working on a french trnaslations of the menus and dialogs. If no can I take this in charge ? Default Gnome po are not always very good for such specific applications. Cédric

docked toolboxes
by MenTaLguY 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Out of curiousity, how many of you folks out there currently use docked toolboxes? (i.e. extra toolboxes embedded in the document window) I'm seriously considering killing the feature to free up UI space. We still have the floating toolbox, and that's the way most drawing apps do it. The recent transient work also diminishes the advantage of having a toolbox in the window -- the detached toolbox now stays raised with the document window too. -mental

Re: [Inkscape-devel] win32 test build + exit on closing last document

M> 1- Install gtk runtime from http://www.dropline.net/gtk/download.php M> 2- Download http://195.221.122.126/tmp/inkscape-0.36cvs-w32.exe [1.22 Mo], M> extract, and change the path to your gtk libs in inkscape.bat M> 3- Run inkscape.bat thanks! it basically works, but i noticed some things on my w2k system: transient windows doesn't work :-( they all stay on the desktop when i minimize my document - they are also listem on the taskbar - it shouldn't be like that i think? (i can't can't compare because i can't update my linux version - cvs from sourceforge is a little old) only "fill and stroke", "document settings" and "align" stay on top (and toolbar of course) only "fill and stroke" remembers its position thanks again from all the dual-boot users out there i think :-) and thanks for bulia for great dialogs. one more thing: i'm not sure if exiting inkscape on closing last document is a good behaviour. it prevents user from doing such simple thing like closing the document and opening another one (if there's no other document open inkscape will exit). i don't like it. maybe the idea would be to show some special dialog when user closes last document. the options on such dialog might be "Cancel", "Save & Exit", "Exit Without Saving", "Open Existing Document" and "Create New Document". what do you think about that? inkscape is great! best regards yemu

I will be grateful to whoever can test latest CVS with a view to transient dialogs. In particular, when two or more documents are open, do the toolbox and fill/stroke stay on top when you switch between document windows? Especially if the document windows are maximized?

win32 test build
by Mael 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Hello, I tried to build what is currently in anonymous cvs. Here are (new) problems I faced in building inkscape with MinGW (and gcc not tried g++) * modules/ps.c `SIGPIPE' undeclared -> I commented the call to signal , don't know what it does and how to fix it * toolbox.c toolbox.c: In function `sp_toolbox_file_create': toolbox.c:342: `action' undeclared (first use in this function) -> Someone has removed the declaration SPAction *action; * modules/extension.c undefined reference to `mkstemp' -> see http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-File-Utilities.html#g-mkst… ? * Libxml2 I had to use version 2.4 of dll because 2.6 results in a crash. Anyone has tried to link against 2.6 on linux ? To try it : 1- Install gtk runtime from http://www.dropline.net/gtk/download.php 2- Download http://195.221.122.126/tmp/inkscape-0.36cvs-w32.exe [1.22 Mo], extract, and change the path to your gtk libs in inkscape.bat 3- Run inkscape.bat Almost not tested but it seems that the problem when regional decimal symbol = comma (instead of dot) is back (don't know if it's due to my build or what) :( I've not included translations in the archive.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] win32 test build
by bulia byak 18 Nov '03

Merci beaucoup! :) It looks like magic to me :) but it actually works - at least under my win98. Rough around the edges, but seems to be basically usable. At least my own stuff seems to work. Transient windows are ok (with one small glitch which I think I know how to fix). Keypad works as expected. Problems I've seen so far: - constant stream of messages about being unable to find some "MS sans serif 7" font. - one crash upon exit. Although I did not test much yet. Re: compilation problems, feel free to patch toolbox.c. Not sure about the others, they need to be looked into - if you figure them out that would be great. If you don't have developer access, ask Bryce, I think it's not a problem. Even if you just compile the windows version from time to time, that will be much help. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/

The new menu looks nice, now if only I could compile it: window.c: In function `sp_utility_window_new': window.c:56: `GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_UTILITY' undeclared (first use in this function) window.c:56: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once window.c:56: for each function it appears in.) I guess I need to upgrade my gtk, right? One comment on the screenshot: while you are at it, could you remove the minimize button from the toolbox? It really serves no useful purpose. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/

preferences broken?
by bulia byak 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

I gave up trying to find out why inkspace_dispose does not run, nor whether it is supposed to run, so I did this: void inkscape_exit (Inkscape *inkscape) { // added if (inkscape->preferences) { inkscape_save_preferences (inkscape); } gtk_main_quit (); } This works for me. Preferences are saved on exit. I also added saving preferences to segv_handler so they are not lost upon crash. What troubles me is that I still don't understand how it worked before. Has anyone changed anything recently that could affect this? Please object and criticize. If there are no objections I will commit this change. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/

On the contrary, I would like to eventually see all dialogs dockable, so that users can choose what they want docked and what they want floating. This seems to be how the modern apps behave. I agree that with transiency, floating dialogs are now usable, but docked ones still have two advantages: - they don't overlap anything. This may be more intuitive for some users. - they better emulate the Windows model where, basically, floating child windows do not have a focus of their own. E.g. palettes in Illustrator are _all_ focused when the parent window has focus. Only a widget within a floating palette can have focus; if no widgets are focused, all input goes to the parent window. This is what our transients still cannot quite emulate but what dockables can (even though they are not floating). So, though it's not high priority at the moment, I'd like all dialogs to become dockable, and I don't like the idea of killing the only one which is dockable now. What are the benefits of this? -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/
