Should be your mail reader or browser, but I guess you didn’t read the column headers well… I don’t see any languages with 0% progress. I only see « am » with 8086 untranslated strings, all other ones have more translations — :). I agree for including incomplete/outdated translations. -- Sylvain

Hi there, I lost enthusiasm. I got the pt_BR translation file already in 50% and could raise it to 62% but it cost me 2 or 3 full days. In this journey, being alone, is more or less a burden.. I wish I could team up with Duarte who is a disciplined and diligent translator... but for pt_PT and not pt_BR. hehe. It's tough. I believe that, without help from more pt_BR translators, I will not be able to finish this file on time. :-( I wish I knew pt_PT to team up with Duarte. --Victor Westmann 2016-10-16 11:13 GMT-07:00 Duarte Ramos <duarte.framos@...400...>: > Hey everyone. > > I am currently working on the European Portuguese pt_PT translation for > Inkscape, but given the outdated and messy state of the current translation > I decided to start from scratch. > I started very recently and make slow progress as time allows.

Which translations should be included in 0.92 release?
by Eduard Braun 16 Oct '16

16 Oct '16

(CCing the "translators" list, since this concerns them, too, but please keep discussion on "devel") Hi all, I'm in the progress of updating the Windows installer for 0.92 release and asked myself which languages should be included in the final package? Are there some guidelines or do we simply include all of them, even if they're mostly outdated? How was this handled in the past? Since languages seem to be hardcoded in "src/inkscape-preferences.cpp" we probably can not just drop those languages during packaging. Otherwise the language would still be offered as a choice, even if it's not present (which is is also an issue if the user decides not to install translations during installation). FYI current language statistics are attached (I hope it get's through), otherwise a copy is available from [1]. Best Regards, Eduard [1] https://inkscape.org/de/gallery/item/10140/po_statistics_0.92.x.html

Diff support between revisions of an svg with hieghlighing support.
by Jason (spot) Brower 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

I think it would be nice to have a diffing tool inside of Inkscape. The idea is that we find areas that have change between two versions and it would visually hande a box around the idea showing what had changed. Ideally as a lay that can be turned on and off. I know my work would be better if there was a way to show what changed between versions without needing to look at the svg code itself. Do you think this kind of thing could work? BR, Jason Brower

how about some marketing and outreach?
by Brynn 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hi Friends, I've recently been contacted by a long time Inkscape user and former active moderator on InkscapeForum.com. (Technically she still is a moderator, but not active for some years.) And I think she also used to help with bug management and testing. And many of you may recognize her as the co-author of PacktPublishing's "Inkscape 0.48 Illustrator's Cookbook". Mihaela, aka prkos, is ready to become reinvested in the project, after having drifted away to work on other things for awhile. She has some good ideas for outreach and bringing in more diversity, and I think some ideas related to marketing, which she will have to explain, because I don't understand that kind of thing. I don't know if she wants to help with bug management again, as before, but maybe after she catches up to the version 0.92 era. And she said she wouldn't be opposed to working on a sequel to the Packt project. Ooohh! Mihaela, I forgot to mention this privately. Recently within the project, there has been some drive to create an open manual, which would be editable by the community. And we also want to make it more of a step by step manual, and more focussed to beginners. And this is as opposed to our current manual, which is copyrighted (can only be edited by the author), presently out of date, and a little more theoretical, and helpful for advanced users. It's a great manual, which has served the project well. But there have been a lot of complaints from beginners about a lack of documentation at their level. So we don't want to get rid of Tav's manual, but just have another manual available. The current state of those discussions is to use a project which was started by a French team (aaii, why can't I remember to save that link?!). It's another FLOSS manual. We're waiting for it to be translated to English. And once it is, we hope to be able to use it as a base to build the new open manual from. Maybe you might like to help with that? Also, some of her ideas will help us with the forum project too! And I'll be letting the committee know about that privately. So, welcome back Mihaela! As you remember the developers' mantra - code first, discuss later - please feel free to jump back in with both feet :-) All best, brynn

Complaints concerning github issue removal
by Christoffer Holmstedt 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hi I noticed last week that issues on github were disabled. There are now 2 complaints in a pull request concerning this. https://github.com/inkscape/inkscape/pull/20#issuecomment-251752290 Anyone able to answer them with some explanation? I assume code will eventually move to git/github/gitlab but we are not there yet...but I'm not sure what to answer "waldyrious" and "shakaran" on Github at the moment.

Old databases, drop or migrate?
by Chris Keltz 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hello Inkscape devs, I'm Chris with the OSU Open Source Lab. We're in the process of taking things off an old database host, and we ran across a couple of Inkscape databases we're not sure are still being used. They are both currently on db3.osuosl.org. The first is inkscape_qmail, accessible by inkscape_qmail@...3433... The second is inkscape-mantis, accessible by inkscape-mantis@...3433... Please let me know if these are droppable, or if they need to be migrated to our new host. Thanks, Chris Keltz Student System Administrator OSU Open Source Lab

0.92 release, windows packaging, .msi vs .exe
by the Adib 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

Hello All, I put in the gallery the current screenshots of the .msi installer. https://inkscape.org/en/~theAdib/galleries/win32-installer-screenshots/ I would recommend not to publish the .exe installer for the 0.92 release. reason: The .exe installer is based on NSIS scripts whereas the .msi installer is based on native MS installer toolset. They do not harmonize together, that means a .msi does not detect existing .exe installed Inkscape and vice versa. There will be definatelly problems when both systems are installed "in parallel". The .msi installer has advantages in deeper system integartion (distributable in MS domains) and save removal but currently lacks translation. I do not have download numbers of .msi vs .exe but I think we should prefer the .msi as nr 1. Could we come here to a consens not to publish .exe installer? Best regards, Adib. --

Crash report
by Yves Quemener 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

Dear all, I'd like to report a crash on inkscape while importing the included file. Crashes with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on windows 10 and with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. The file is generated by a custom tool, so it is very probable that it contains something invalid, but I don't think it should crash the software totally. Here is the result of gdb: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error' what(): basic_string::_M_construct null not valid Thread 1 "inkscape" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x00007fffefe1e418 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@...3051...=6) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:54 54 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c: No such file or directory.

Fwd: [Inkscape-user] looking for a forum host
by brynn 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Inkscape-user] looking for a forum host Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2016 17:45:17 -0600 From: brynn <brynn@...3133...> Reply-To: Inkscape User Community <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> To: Inkscape User Community <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Hi Friends, As some of you know, a small committee has been investigating the possibility of creating a new "official" Inkscape forum. All along, we've been pretty much expecting that OSUOSL would host it for us (since they already host our website and wiki). However, after an initial request (nearly 6 weeks ago), an updated request (~10 days later), and a 3rd contact (which was just last week) we still have no response from them. Assuming they would notify us, even if the answer is 'no', we think they are probably still working on it, and have not made a decision yet. But we're starting to think the answer might well be 'no', and we're starting to research about other ways to host this forum. So we want to tap the resources of the whole community, and ask if anyone knows of any either open-source-friendly webhost besides OSUOSL, or maybe some kind of program which might pay hosting fees for an open source project (in the event we can't find a free host). Note that the so-called "free webhosting" sites would probably not be acceptable, since they usually accomplish making it free, by loading the site up with advertising. One idea which might be feasible, is setting up some kind of crowd funding, to create the capital for some kind of money-market fund or something like a trust, whose income would pay the monthly fee. The reason why it's such a big "might" is because it would take some time for this fund to reach the point where it could cover the fees (and we hope to get the forum online much sooner than that would take). I've offered, and I'm sure a lot of people in the community might volunteer to pay or help to pay the fees. But that puts us in a similar situation which we're trying to remedy with this effort (i.e. a single owner potentially disappearing). I would consider this to be a last resort. Has anyone heard of any webhost that might meet our needs; or maybe some kind of program which would pay the hosting fees? Thank you very much, brynn (for the committee) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Inkscape-user mailing list Inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-user

Compiling sax parser on Windows
by Adrian Boguszewski 02 Oct '16

02 Oct '16

Hi there, I finished sax parser project and I need to test it on Windows. Unfortunately I can't compile it. Is anybody here, who builds Inkscape on Windows and could check my changes, especially loading different file types? To detect file type I use a mime type of file from Gio library. I want to know if the content type is the same as on linux. Precisely: "image/svg+xml", "application/xml" or "text/html" for uncompressed svg, xml and html files and "image/svg+xml-compressed", "application/x-gzip" for svgz. Compiling, running and opening different files is sufficient to know that everything is ok. If there are no warnings of course. Branch to compile: https://code.launchpad.net/~adrianboguszewski/inkscape/sax-parser Thanks! Best regards, Adrian

performance problems and possible remedies?
by Yale Zhang 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi. I'm using Inkscape to author a comic and the slow speed for certain things is very annoying. I'm already have OpenMP turned on and using 4 cores. 1. *large blurs are slow* - I'm an expert with writing SIMD code, so I was thinking about vectorizing the Gaussian IIR filter with SIMD intrinsics, even though it's harder than for a FIR. But I noticed there isn't any SIMD code in Inkscape so does that mean it's something to avoid. I'm pretty sure no current compiler is smart enough to vectorize it, and besides, Inkscape is compiled with -O2, meaning -ftree-vectorize isn't on by default. 2. *when there's a large image (raster based) background - scrolling in a zoomed region is very slow* I compiled the latest 0.49 code with GCC profiling and it shows this: 33.98 22.47 22.47 exp2l 21.29 36.55 14.08 log2l 17.57 48.17 11.62 pow 7.12 52.88 4.71 658 0.01 0.01 ink_cairo_surface_srgb_to_linear(_cairo_surface*) 6.72 57.32 4.44 563 0.01 0.01 ink_cairo_surface_linear_to_srgb(_cairo_surface*) 5.51 60.96 3.64 1216 0.00 0.00 Inkscape::Filters::FilterGaussian::~FilterGaussian() 5.23 64.42 3.46 internal_modf 0.59 64.81 0.39 _mcount_private 0.41 65.08 0.27 __fentry__ 0.12 65.16 0.08 GC_mark_from 0.09 65.22 0.06 5579 0.00 0.00 Geom::parse_svg_path(char const*, Geom::SVGPathSink&) 0.06 65.26 0.04 35320 0.00 0.00 bounds_exact_transformed(std::vector<Geom::Path, std::allocator<Geom::Path> > const&, Geom::Affine const&) 0.06 65.30 0.04 8 0.01 0.01 convert_pixbuf_normal_to_argb32(_GdkPixbuf*) 0.05 65.33 0.03 885444 0.00 0.00 std::vector<Geom::Linear, std::allocator<Geom::Linear> >::_M_fill_insert(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<Geom::Linear*, std::vector<Geom::Linear, std::allocator<Geom::Linear> > >, unsigned long long, Geom::Linear const&) The cost is absolutely dominated by ink_cairo_surface_srgb_to_linear() and ink_cairo_surface_linear_to_srgb(). My first instinct was to optimize those 2 functions, but then I thought why are those even being called every time I scroll through the image? Why not convert the images up front to linear and stay that way in memory? If that can't be done, then my optimization approach is: 1. replace ink_cairo_surface_srgb_to_linear() with a simple 3rd degree polynomial approximation (0.902590573087882 - 0.010238759806148x + 0.002825455367280x^2 + 0.000004414767235x^3) and vectorize with SSE intrinsics. The approximation was calculated by minimizing the square error (maxError = 0.313) over the range [10, 255]. For x < 10, it uses simple scaling. 2. replace ink_surface_linear_to_srgb() with a vectorized implementation of pow(). Unlike srgb_to_linear(), a low degree polynomial can't be used due to the curve having larger high order derivatives. An alternative would be piece wise, low order polynomials. The main question I have is what degree of accuracy is desired? Certainly, it doesn't need double precision pow() since the input is only 8 bits! Is +- 0.5 from the true value (before quantization) OK or do people depend on getting pixel perfect results? UJ

YAML (libyaml-dev, libyaml-0-2) version >= 0.1.7-1 becomes hard dependency for inkscape
by Dmitry Zhulanov 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

I'm going to merge in my "xverbs" branch which requires YAML. So it's still possible to guard all code behind a WITH_XVERBS if we cannot add that lib as a hard dependency, but in the current state of things yaml would become a hard dependency of inkscape. If anyone has any problems with that (compatibility on some platforms maybe?), please tell before the merge Best regards, Dmitry Zhulanov

xverbs
by Dmitry Zhulanov 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi, all! Im a game developer and using the inkscape for layouting my game screens. Loading_screen_layout.svg one of them. It have g with id pause_button and rect with id sandclock_bound which I use for animation placement. The verbs feature which inkscape already have is have some limitations. The MAX_PATH for example. Also some verbs required user interactions, so I need some eXtended verbs here. Using python script I have load layout as xml and collecting element-id's of interactive elements with "onclick" attribute, for example. Using this element-id list I generate .yaml, which is some sort of batch file. Here is the .yaml file which is used with Inkscape to clean up layout and put button image in separated file with pause_button.svg filename. Also I count undoable actions to restore state generating verb EditUndo. command: inkscape -B loading_screen_layout.yaml ----------- loading_screen_layout.yaml --------- run: - xverb-id: XFileOpen, loading_screen_layout.svg - xverb-id: XUndoLabel, fresh_document - xverb-id: XSelectElement, pause_button - verb-id: EditInvert - verb-id: EditDelete - verb-id: FitCanvasToDrawing - xverb-id: XFileSaveAs, pause_button.svg # save with stupid name - xverb-id: UndoToLabel, fresh_document - xverb-id: XSelectElement, pause_button - verb-id: EditDelete - xverb-id: XUndoLabel, fresh_document - xverb-id: XSelectElement, sandclock_bounds - verb-id: EditDelete - xverb-id: XUndoLabel, fresh_document - xverb-id: XFileSaveAs, loading_screen_layout_release.svg # save with stupid name - verb-id: FileQuit ------------------ CUT HERE -------------------- I guess you can get readonly access on my launchpad page. https://code.launchpad.net/~dmitry-zhulanov/+junk/inkscape-xverbs Code is tested with mingw+windows7+VS2010 sdk. If you would like to merge the feature, I will clean up code to conforming code style, remove printf's & so on Any help or advice are appreciated! P.S. sorry for my bad english :) Best Regards, Dmitry Zhulanov

25 Sep '16

Hello All - I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself on here, my name is Justin LaRose and I hope to soon be a contributor and start working on some code. I've worked mainly with C# and Visual Basic in the past but am looking forward to working with C++ and learning more about it. I was having some issues with dependencies when trying to build the developer instance on my laptop (Ubuntu 16.04) and was wondering if anyone might have some time to help me get everything built so I can start to work on some bugs? I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better as I learn more about the project and the code base. Thanks! Justin LaRose

Here's a crashing .svg file
by Miguel Lopez 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

I'm just gonna leave a crashing .svg file here for developers to look at since it been crashing upon opening, and I was using mirror, rotate copies extension. It crashed when I attempted to scale the entire watch, and then I couldn't open earlier version of the watch. Oh, and I think that arrange tool might need a "center of page" instead of having to type in axis for the rotate part. That would make this watch a lot easier. Other than that, I'm really liking where Inkscape is getting at. I must say that I am using it alongside with Illustrator to get the best of both world.

Dear Sir/Mam, I am Sai Harsh B.Tech 4th year student from India, I want to contribute to inkspace. Could you please guide me how I can proceed. My technical skills are moderate in Python and C. My work experience can support this statement, I was T.A for Data structures and Algorithms for 1st and 2nd year undergraduate student respectively. I did my internship in MIT media lab in which most of my code is in Python. I am ready to learn new things. Awaiting for your response. Best Regards, Harsh Sent with MailTrack <https://mailtrack.io/install?source=signature&lang=en&referral=saiharsh.t13…>

CMake now working on Windows
by Sebastian Faubel 05 Sep '16

Hello everybody, I submitted a merge request of my Inkscape branch yesterday. Thanks to Marc it has already found its way into trunk - big thank you for the quick review. The branch I submitted now has full support for compiling Inkscape on Windows with 32-Bit and 64-Bit environments. It also supports out of source builds and should also work with Unix llike command lines such as Cygwin and MSYS. After weeks of investigation I managed to get locales to work and have an executable icon along with all application icons. Actually, the only thing that it distinguishes from a btool build now is that it does not (yet) produce the inkscape.com console binary. However, that should not be a big deal. In all other regards it should be ready for testing and packaging. I already updated the Wiki page with the new compilation instructions. Again, thank you Marc and hopefully we're a step closer now to a 0.92 release on all platforms. ~Sebastian *Semiodesk GmbH | *Werner-von-Siemens-Str. 6 Geb. 15k, 86159 Augsburg, Germany | Phone: +49 821 8854401 | Fax: +49 821 8854410 | www.semiodesk.com This e-mail message may contain confidential or legally privileged information and is intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s).
