Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape-devel Digest, Vol 117, Issue 19

Hi, I'm using inkscape on making figures for submission. It's a amazing software. Jus one point I'm wondering. I'm using Origin8.5 for making scientific graphing and succeeded in inserting graph into inkscape layout by "Copy page" option of Origin. Previously I used powerpoint to do this but it turns out ppt file can not fulfill the resolution requirement of publication(> 300dpi). One of convenience of powerpoint is, I can re-edit scientific graphs on slide via Origin again by double clicking on graph. But in inkscape, once I pasted graph into layout, I can not do this by orgin. I have to go back to Orgin to edit original graph and paste it again into inkscape layout. So my question is, is it possible to do re-editing thing in inkscape powerpoint? Thanks!

I think this boils down to a balance between issue tracker that fits Inkscapes community (Launchpad's fit Inkscape very well), and developer preference (git is almost de facto standard nowadays). Of course, it the two tools would "marry" (using github/gitlab for repo+ci and Launchpad for issues) it would be great. Mvh /Olof ----------------- 3-5-?riga sm?ttingar i n?rheten?

In my view, moving to Gitlab would avoid that risk. Gitlabs core feature set is free software. If Gitlab also turns into sourceforge, Inkskape can set up its own Gitlab instance, at least in principle.

I may have missed them, though I don't see those links.

These are checked by the server, compare the windows download to the source package: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/3860/ There are four levels: no signature, an md5 hash, a gpg signature against your own public key and a gpg signature and you being in the "packagers" team. Thanks for testing everyone. Martin,

Meassure improvements, Speed and Phantom mode
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

Hi to all. A just commit a new feature in meassure tool, allowing compare two measures, creating greyed version of current meassure in a temporary way. Based in a comment on original code I could improve the response of the tool. Also want to make numeric inputs for start and end point, thinking add it as a modifier for the knots instead puting them on the toolbar. Here a video: http://jabiertxof.marker.es/2016/02/meassure-tool-phantom -and-speed.html Cheers, Jabier.

Impressions on Inkscape after extended usage
by Michael Grosberg 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Hello, In the past several months - closer to a year, actually - I've used Inkscape in a tight production environment almost daily. I have produced hundreds of illustrations for a computer-based technical course. During that period I used Inkscape 0.48.5 and lately switched to test builds and release candidates of 0.91. All of this time I have kept a list of the problems I ran into using Inkscape. Some are plain bugs, some are more complex problems for which I have no idea for a solution. After testing the new version to see whether some of these problems have gone away, I thought I might share this document with you. Before I go on, I just like to say that these are mostly minor points. I am an avid user and promoter of Inkscape even though my workplace has provided me with a legal copy of Adobe Illustrator, which I think is inferior in ease of use. I think Inkscape on the whole is a brilliant piece of software and I'm thankful for all your efforts. But some problem just kept popping up again and again. So without further ado, here's the document (it's a google doc): http://bit.ly/1yLzn0y Thank you for any comment or feedback you might have. - Michael Grosberg

Dear developers, The file Inkscape-0.91-1.exe has been reported by Andrey Krylov to contain Win.Trojan.Ramnit-8177 This concerns this resource file: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/3944/ If someone using windows (and theadib) can check the file using anti-malware scanner so we can make sure it's clean. Thanks guys, Martin Owens Website Admin

Website Update: OK
by Martin Owens 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Dear developers, The website is pretty much back to speed. Some help from OSUOSL was vital in understanding so a big thanks to them. What went wrong was a couple of points. The first was the mo file issue where django was trying to open files from the disk hundreds of times per request (and failing). Provisioning it with the files stopped that. Then there was the caching. I installed memcached on the server and enabled it's use. This cut down on the amount of memory because wsgi processes are able to share the same cache and reduced mysql load because we didn't have to cache things there any more. I put the number of parallel requests back up to 4, since 2 doesn't really help with all requests and created some backlog. Please continue to test. You will notice gallery pages, user pages are slower than cms pages and this is mostly because those apps don't use cache (something to look into for the next version). Sorry for the disruption. Martin,

Win32 devlibs update and Windows XP support
by Nicolas Dufour 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Hi all, Work on a new win32 devlibs branch is currently in progress (see https://code.launchpad.net/~jazzynico/inkscape-devlibs/trunk). It's goal is to replace our old devlibs with the most recent ones, compiled with TDM-GCC-5.1. It's almost done, but there are some issues that will affect our win32 devlibs in a near future: * Harfbuzz can't compile on Windows XP (but runs fine). Vista or 7 can be used instead (I'm going to test with a virtualboxed 7). Of course, Harfbuzz is required by lots of other libs (pango, rsvg, imagemagick, gtk...). * Glib doesn't compile on Windows XP and 7, due to recent changes in Glib-2.43. So we're stuck with 2.42.2. Side effect, we can't compile the latest glibmm and atkmm libs (and maybe others, I haven't try Gtk and Gtkmm yet...). I don't know if it's directly related, but there's an old thread in the gnome mailing list that question Windows XP support (see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2014-December/msg00055.html). Note that Gnome no longer provides binaries for XP on their download page (http://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php). So be aware that maintaining Windows XP (and even win32) versions is going to be harder and harder... I'm going work on the branch until it's done (or blocked), but I'm seriously considering switching to my old cross-compiled branch, which was far easier to maintain. Regards, -- Nicolas

Nightly builds, download points???
by mathog 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hi all, Is there a nightly (or even weekly) build for Windows 32 and 64, and if so, is there a download link for it? In bug 1480651 we have an end user who has a problem with the way a particular piece of software that neither Alvin nor I own interacts with Inkscape, and it would help if we could get him a copy of a current trunk binary.

Inkscape and AppData
by Richard Hughes 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hi all, I would like Inkscape to start shipping an AppData file for the GNOME and KDE software centers. At the moment it's invisible to AppStream-enabled software managers as there is no metadata file to read. I've uploaded a file here http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/temp/inkscape.appdata.xml which needs to be committed and then installed into the $prefix/share/appdata directory at install time; there's no need to conditionalize this as it's just ignored by any distro without an app installer. If you want to mark it translatable that would be great too, although I'm not familiar with what tools inkscape uses (intltool?) and I'm 100% okay if you want to change the description or add/change any extra screenshots. I'd like to make Inkscape a featured application in GNOME Software for 3.20 and an upstream AppData file is a prerequisite to that. I first wrote a mail to this mailing list in 2013 when we started the AppStream project, but since that time over 1200 other applications have started shipping metadata files for the software center. This very much makes Inkscape the odd-one-out now, and now we're building nightly snapshots of inkscape as part of the xdg-app nightly repo we can't even include an additional file in the srpm like so many distros are doing. I think the time has come to move it upstream :) There's more details about AppData here http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ but I'm happy to answer questions or comments here too. Thanks! Richard

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2016 - Call for mentors & help with ideas page
by Josh Andler 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hey all, As you all know, we were not accepted as a mentoring organization for GSoC 2015. Part of the reason for this is that they have been getting more mentoring org submissions each year and really started to get tighter with enforcing existing guidelines that they had. Essentially, our ideas page was the big problem as we didn't follow their guidelines at http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/making-your-ideas-page/ They specifically said "Each idea should have potential mentors, difficulty level, expected skills, etc. and none of those are listed on your ideas page." For people's reference the ideas section of our GSoC page is at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code#Suggested_Ide… The application period is still a about a month out, but one of the things we do need to get on sooner rather than later is getting people to volunteer to mentor so we can get the ideas section right by the time we actually apply. We also need to gauge how many interested devs we might have for mentoring this year so if you're interested, please reply saying so. I think we might want to entertain having a separate "dormant ideas" page where we have a pool of all the ideas possible. We then only move them to the active ideas section that currently exists when they have mentor, difficulty, and necessary skills assigned. Cheers, Josh

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-docs] Inkscape Hackfest: Who will attend?

Hi Maren, Thanks for the info. Oh, I didn't know about the change in plans for HF (since I'm not subbed to the Board list, of course). I'll hold off on making new posts, until there is some new/confirmed info. And may as well wait on new news item too. If there now may be a charge for a new venue, maybe donation button would be more needed? Or maybe that will not be very significant? I'm just not very knowledgeable about that kind of things. Even though donations may not be "needed" at the moment, HF still might represent a good opportunity to pick up donations for a time in the future when donations are more scarce. Or maybe more donations would simply allow more people to attend? If I recall the old donation page, money went into the Fund, so maybe could be used for other things, as well. Bryce and/or others - What do you think about a Donations page for Hackfest, this year? > The old hackfest page has been unpublished, and kept for this kind of > purpose. But maybe you could just make a copy instead of updating it, so > we still have the old one as a kind of archived version? Ok yes, I'll do that. But again, may as well wait for some confirmed info.

Website Upgrade Status: Springtime
by Martin Owens 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

Dear Developers, board and lurking users, The live website has just been transitioned. Maren and I have been testing and fixing the next version of the site over on staging for the past two weeks; so I firstly want to offer my profound thanks to Maren for the timely help with bug reports to clean up many rough edges. With the testing, this doesn't mean we have clean up everything, so don't worry if you see something odd or an error. Report odd things to me or the inkscape-web bug tracker, errors get emailed to me directly so don't worry too much about them. Now onto features. * The gallery app has had a lot of work done on it. Some things got patched into live before, but the vast majority of improvements are now there. Mainly the index page that allows one to browse: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/ * There is an alerts system now. You can subscribe to pages so you can get an email when they're edited, to users so you get a message when they upload new art and you may also get a message if someone clicks the send message link in your profile. Allows other users to message people without email addresses being exposed. * The teams app has been massively improved, although not completed as the end goal is mailing list integration. You can see the three public teams here: https://inkscape.org/en/teams/ * There is a new releases app which replaces the cms downloads pages. It's being filled in slowly, if you can help write up and link up all the downloads, please get in touch. You can see the start of the data here: https://inkscape.org/en/release/ And there's many many bugs fixed since last year. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Notification popup on inapplicable command
by Daniel Beardsmore 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

One aspect of Inkscape that is confusing is that it is possible to issue commands that have no effect because they are inapplicable, e.g. requesting to unlink a clone, on an object that is not a clone. Where such inapplicable commands are given with the keyboard, there is no notification that the command did nothing, and when no visual change would have occurred even when it did succeed, the results can be especially confusing. Ideally, all menu items and toolbar buttons would be dynamic, i.e. disabled when inapplicable, but I'm thinking that it would also make sense to show a floating notification bar that notifies the user that the command failed because it did not apply, e.g. "Object is not a clone". ---------------------------------------------- This e-mail was sent from my Desktop Computer®
