More LPEs
by Maren Hachmann 29 Oct '16

29 Oct '16

Hi devs, I've just been playing with 0.92pre2, and found 8 (!) new LPEs that aren't mentioned in the Release notes (some of which I don't have a clue as to what they do). It's cool that there appears to be so much more to discover :) Will they all make it into into the stable version? Could someone add a rough description into the release notes for those that will be in 0.92? If there isn't time for fleshing it out, I'd offer to add screenshots and work on the text a bit (when I understand what they all do). It's these LPEs: - Attach Path - Bounding Box - Ellipse by 5 points - Fill between many - Fill between strokes - Interpolate Points - Join type - Taper stroke Regards, Maren

Inkscape SVG and Maya SVG Import

Some of you may have heard of the fact that Autodesk is now supporting SVG, and to be fair, that was long overdue, but at least one is closer to having the choice of ditching AI8 format once and for all for a universal format. I'm having a issue importing a 1 KB optimized SVG from Inkscape.

Bug in dxf-import.py line 443
by Timo Birnschein 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Hey guys, there seems to be a bug in dxf-import.py in line 443: w = 90.0/25.4*vals[groups['370']][0]/00.0 This always crashed with a division by 0. A quick look reveals, this has to crash. I found a bugfix online which makes this line: w = 90.0/25.4*vals[groups['370']][0]/100.0 That helps and provides the desired results. The question is if this is the desired value or if the developer intended a different number? Cheers, Timo

"Convert CSS attributes to XML attributes" breaks rendering in external applications
by Stefan Tauner 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Hi, I have tried to submit a bug report via launchpad multiple times during the day but it seems to not like me today, thus I am submitting it via the ML. When I save an optimized .svg with the option "Convert CSS attributes to XML attributes" enabled with Inkscape 0.91 (Ubuntu 16.04), any application that I have tested but Inkscape do not display some parts of an image with the resulting file. I managed to create a MWE that should be handy enough for a successful analysis. Attached you can find the original Inkscape .svg and two optimized .svg files created with the CSS option turned on and off respectively. When the option is off then all applications render the dot fine, when it is on only Inkscape recognizes it. KR -- Dipl.-Ing.

Change in behaviour: Import image auto-groups the image
by C R 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

In trunk, all images dragged into the canvas are automatically put in a group. Is there a reason for this change? It's been a bit of a pain over the last few weeks, because: 1. It requires ungrouping the image, or clicking into the image group to view image properties 2. It requires the same to trace bitmap. Any ideas as to why this change was made? Thanks. :) -C

Supporting Inkscape: What are the best ways?
by C R 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

Hey folks. So I've recently branched out into several FLOSS communities, and so I'm exposed to a lot more wishlist items. Generelly they are things on the roadmap, and many have to do with the SVG spec. When someone expresses a need for *x-feature* I generally send them to this page to help: https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/svg-standards-work/ I was wondering if this is the best thing to do. I get a lot of requests to help the project from people who I help get to grips with Inkscape and other FLOSS. Can someone provide a list of current links to parts of the project that need financial aide? I can sort out who to send where (based on the features they are interested in). But a comprehensive list of donation links would be awesome. :) Thanks! -C

0.92: Middle mouse button not panning?
by Olof Bjarnason 23 Oct '16

23 Oct '16

I just noticed in 0.92-pre2, at least on Windows, the mouse middle button does not pan anymore. On 0.91 installation, same machine, middle mouse button pans. [ If enabling "scrolling" by space key (checkbox "Mouse move pans when Space is pressed"), that kind of panning works, however you need to have the canvas "focused" for this to work (you get this gratis with middle mouse button), so it's really inconvenient in comparison. ] Can anyone confirm with Linux build, or on another Windows machine? This feels more likely to be me having some corruption in my installations, than an actual regression, so I hesitate to report it just yet. Cheers,

0.92 release status
by Bryce Harrington 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Here's an update on where we are in getting the release out. 1. Windows packaging seems to be shaping up well. Packages for 0.91pre1 are posted to the website. Hopefully we'll see 0.92pre2 packages soon. OSX still appears in need of volunteers to get packaging sorted. It looks like we may be forced to omit this from our release announcement plans, but let's give it a few more days. If anyone is working on or plans to work on OSX packages, please contact me ASAP. 2. DPI Scaling bug #1389723 - We still need someone to work on this bug; there have not been new comments. *** We still need someone to adopt this issue and run it to ground. 3. Disable unstable features, bug #1589340 - I pushed the MESH option fix. suv's summarized the remaining bits needing done and this looks straightforward to get finished. 4. Fonts not shown in font manager (Win32), bug #1416674 - This is now dropped as a release blocker. It still needs added to the release notes. 5. About screen - Work is under way here; hopefully this can get taken care of quickly. 6. Release Notes - Apart from perhaps adding a few more known issues, we are probably at a point we can consider the Notes complete. This would be a good point to start translating them (or to bring existing translations up to date.) http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92 7. New snapshot. I've posted source packages for 0.92pre2; there were a few little hitches but nothing major, and nothing that looks like it would impact finalizing 0.92.0.

PreRelease News: Windows Packages
by Maren Hachmann 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Hi Devs, Adib, jazzynico and Eduard, there appear to be a couple of prerelease packages to be around now for Windows :) I'd like to link one or more from the news article and from the downloads page. Will someone upload a (signed) 0.92pre2 binary to the website? It's a good chance to try the process out ;-) Adib has pre1 packages here: https://inkscape.org/en/~theAdib/galleries/inkscape-092/ - the quota has been increased to two GB, so uploading more is possible now. jazzynico/Eduard have their packages hosted at tuxfamily currently: https://download.tuxfamily.org/inkscape/win64/Inkscape-0.92pre2-x64-1.exe Regards, Maren

I agree with everything Bryce said. Most of that was merely time constraints. There's a lot I would change tbh, mostly tweaking and timing of things. It was a challenge to get everything in there, and a lot of the issue had to do with syncing the action with the music properly. It was a great learning experience, and the things suggested will certainly be fixed on the next version. Thanks for the input and encouragement! -C On 22 Oct 2016 2:32 am, "Bryce Harrington" <bryce@...961...> wrote: On Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 05:08:06AM +0100, C R wrote: > Thanks Martin!

The way it showcased the features in real time was pretty stunning. The one that stuck with me the most was the on-canvas gradient editing, I suppose because it involved shiny color. The font measurement stuff was amazing too, maybe because I'm a sucker for dimensions. :-) The new guide features went by a bit too quickly to grok what the change was. The setup part for node tool dropdown was a bit slow, but when it got to the actual feature it jumped too quickly so it's hard to see what the actual feature was. The symbol dialog, find with mouse wheel, and paint order examples felt spot on. Live path effects as well, however I know there's been a *ton* of cool work here and wonder if this section could be expanded. Drag and drop layer ordering looked pretty slick but I didn't follow what exactly was going on. For the new file format support, I wonder if it would be permissible to include the logos of the respective products? Differentiating between the import and exports might be worthwhile. Some of those, like visio import, I thought we had for a while? In any case, showing off new file import and export features is a great idea. > I'm also quite proud to be part of the Inkscape project, and it's the > sense of community and family that motivates me to create these video > works, graphics, and ui stuff. I like how this video focuses on the product itself, and I think it is way stronger having that focus. But I do wonder if having a similar video but more focused on the people involved might be fun -- something geared more towards people who might dabble with more involvement in our community. Something that'd mention the hackfest, LGM attendance, more depth into the new website features, and details of how we've put donor's funds to use in the Books For Developers effort, and so on. > I'm happy that it shows in the video, and it's thanks to all of you > that it does. :) > Oh, also maybe we should have a special thanks portion at the end of > the video for those in the project that have (and continue to) really > bend over backwards to get this release out the door. I know I can > think of a bunch. It was very striking that the video didn't end with a credits roll, but instead used that time to give focus to the project logo and slogan. It made the whole seem simultaneously professional and accessible. It'd be fine with me either way, but do I like the tidy way you closed it.

Hello Maren, Hello Martin, Eduard uploaded some packages to the gallery. He now stuck in the proccess copying to the 0.92pre2 gallery. The gallery is visible in the "copy to" for "Developers" where he is "Uploader". Pls. adjust Eduards group membership or gallery ownership accordingly. Maren, Saying that I prefers you refer to the gallery item, so that people can access packages as they are uploaded. similar to https://inkscape.org/en/*developer/galleries/092pre1/ So you avoid having cross server links or dead links. Thank you. Regards, Adib. --

[UI] Rotate widget
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Hi all. I have a work to our UI group, It's about the feature described in this video [1] - rotate workspace There is a recent discussion higly recomend to read [2]: We need to define the way to handle workspace rotation: There is no realtime rotation, so we need to select an angle and start redraw, so the option to a tool to it become a bad idea, except we have a pixel preview of current workspace to "phantom" the rotation as Martin point, but not sure about it The rotation is done by the current workspace center, no problem where the document are on it. We need to define: * WIDGETS * Shortcuts 1: Shortcuts. only one direction, a modiffier [XXX] rotate by prefs rotate steps with [XXX] modifier rotate in 45 or 90 degree from 0 could be a option 2:Widget. Two options: Popup from button or toolbar, there is some discussion about in [2] I want it defined to know the way to take, both have things good and bad. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utFQve7ofJk [2] http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Workspace-rotation-td4977487.html Cheers, Jabier.

0.92 release status (volunteers needed)
by Bryce Harrington 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

A number of different things need to be done to get the release out the door, but presently these are the top priorities: 1. Packaging for Windows and OSX - Has anyone taken a shot at doing Windows or OSX packaging for the snapshot releases? I'm worried when we get to the point of doing the release announcement, we may not have packages supporting all platforms. I would be ok if we end up having the initial release be Linux-only but I know most people would be disappointed if we don't have simultaneous platform support. *** We need volunteers to work on/coordinate packaging for each of these platforms. If no volunteers are available then we'll drop that platform from the release announcement plans. 2. DPI Scaling bug #1389723 - This appears to be the last serious regression that really *has* to be fixed for the release. Good news is that there is already a proposed fix and a plan in place for resolving it. There is no named assignee, although several people have been working on it. But right now it needs more eyes to review and test it, with a particular look at usability and how the fix will be accepted by affected users. *** We need a core developer to take a coordinational role for this bug and help shepherd the proposed patches to a resolution. No particular experience with the problem is needed, just available time to test, track remaining issues, and chase down people to address them. 3. Disable unstable features, bug #1589340 - I've landed most of the proposed changes, but there is one more to do (comment #11, essentially re-introduce the fix for bug #619903). *** We need someone to apply the fix for bug #619903 to the 0.92 branch. If no volunteers are available, then I'll take care of it when I get some time. 4. Fonts not shown in font manager (Win32), bug #1416674 - This is platform-specific on Windows but appears to be relatively bad for folks. Its not a 0.92 regression but was a regression on 0.91. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a clear path to a fix, and we do not have an assignee for the bug. *** We need someone to record this bug as a Known Issue in the release notes. *** We need a skilled developer to investigate the bug, identify a solution, and volunteer to be the assignee for the bug. If no volunteers are available, I'll drop this as a release blocker. 5. About screen - Josh and Martin were coordinating work on a contest here, but I don't think it got kicked off. I understand Josh has been quite tied up with other issues, so perhaps someone could volunteer to assist with the grunt work of getting this off the ground? I think there's still going to be adequate time to do a contest if it gets going soonish but I don't want to delay the release on it; worst case we can just rev the number on 0.91's about screen. *** We need someone to volunteer to assist here, or possibly to take over the task of organizing the contest. *** We need someone to meanwhile rev the current about screen number to 0.92, in case the contest can't be done. 6. The Release Notes look pretty good, but as we near to the release we need to finish reviewing and copyediting, and make sure all new features are adequately described: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92 7. New snapshot release - I've been procrastinating on this since I'm not sure anyone's actually packaging them, but I'll try and get another one out soon. I'll followup on these items some time next week, so if you can volunteer for any of the above items by then please do so, else we'll have to start going with the plan B's one some of them.

The right ways are usually a bug report, or a merge request: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Translation_information#Submit_fini… I did hard cleaning/updating work on this page some time ago, please use it — :P. -- Sylvain

Thanks for your answers! I went ahead and updated the NSIS installer accordingly, so it can install all available Inkscape translations now. @translators: It would probably be a good time to have a quick look at the installer translations (they're separate from the .po files) if you have some time to spare, see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/0.92.x/files/head:/packa… for the currently available translations.

Inkscape 0.92pre2 (beta) released
by Bryce Harrington 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

A new 0.92pre2 source package has been released and can be downloaded from: https://inkscape.org/en/download/source/ I'm calling this the Inkscape 0.92 'beta'. All scheduled features are complete at this point, and bug fixing work is mostly finished (except for a few remaining known issues we're tracking). Packagers are encouraged to prepare binary packages for the platforms we support. Testers are encouraged to install and use this as if it were the release. At this point we're primarily looking for a) packaging errors, b) installation and build breakages, and c) regressions from recent bug fixes. If you find particularly severe/critical issues, feel free to contact me about them. Ordinary bugs should be entered into the release notes as Known Issues, and worked on in trunk for 0.93 or 0.92.1. Users are welcome to use this as well, just make sure to plan on upgrading to the actual release when it arrives; there are still a few more odds and ends we intend to add to the release. I'll follow up later with an update on our release status and some follow-up tasks. Thanks, Bryce
