Large filter areas
by Diederik van Lierop 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi ppl, It's no surprise that filters can make Inkscape crawl, and I ran into that while digging into this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/827192 In this case though, the area to be filtered measures 18416 x 17524 pixels, which is a bit too much for just on screen display. Is there any way to work around this? Can't we set an upper limit on the area, in order to keep Inkscape somewhat responsive? If it takes a few seconds that's OK IMHO in such extreme cases, but at least the user should be able to trust that Inkscape will recover. Diederik

requesting wiki account
by Brynn 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Hi Friends, I've been given edit privileges at inkscape.org from Martin Owens. I want to re-organize and edit some of the community info, including Inkscape forums, tutorials and galleries. I came across info about forums, tutorials and galleries in the "old" wiki, and wanted to know about incorporating it into the new inkscape.org. He suggested that forums, tutorials and galleries probably don't belong in the wiki anyway, and said I should delete them, if I can get access to the wiki. He said the wiki (an updated and current wiki) should only contain development, design, code, etc., anyway. (Also told me to email this mailing list to ask for a wiki account.) So assuming you all are in agreement with him, I'm asking for access to be able to edit the wiki. I'll be glad to do any tedious, menial work that might need to be done there, to bring it up to meet the current needs of the community -- if anyone can tell me what kind of work that would be. Should I get access to the wiki, I would be at your disposal. Maybe most of you probably don't know me, but I've been a moderator at InkscapeForum.com for a few years, and nearly a year ago, opened a new Inkscape website (http://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php). So I'm fairly well connected to the user community....at least those who post in forums. Thank you very much, brynn

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape-devel Digest, Vol 98, Issue 4
by Jelle Mulder 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Ehm,.. not Inkscape related really, but I am looking for a C++ programmer to earn a few thousand euro's with a probably fairly easy task. (my estimate is a week part-time). I thought someone here might be interested and it would sort of indirectly help the project as well by supporting my favourite programmers. I hope not with a weeks delay though, don't want to interrupt what's going on here. If interested, send me your rating fee and we'll pick it up from there. There is some time pressure on it, so if you don't have time the coming few weeks, state it clearly in your e-mail. I may have other tasks later for the same or other clients as well. Cheers, Jelle

GSoC Project Update
by Krzysztof Kosiński 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Hello The midterm evaluations are near due, so here's a public update on my GSoC project. The schedule this year was very bad for me, and dealing with university stuff ate most of my time in the first half of the project, so I didn't do nearly as much as I hoped for. I have however made a prototype CGAL-based implementation of boolops. It is available in 2Geom trunk; you have to have CGAL installed, its headers available in your default include path, and set the CMake option CGAL_TOYS=ON to compile it. Saying "sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev" suffices to satisfy the first two requirements on Ubuntu 14.04. The results of playing with this toy are rather disappointing. CGAL produces visibly imprecise results even for simple shapes (see attached pictures), and for some inputs (e.g. when sliding two bananas over each other so that they nearly match) it crashes with an assertion. It seems that its boolean operation algorithm for Beziers is of very poor quality. This means I will have to write the boolops code from scratch. I've found a MIT-licensed Objective-C library that implements boolops on Bezier paths, which may serve as an inspiration. https://bitbucket.org/andyfinnell/vectorboolean During the remaining time before midterm, I'll work on path-related APIs in 2Geom. This will be useful when implementing boolops, and will allow us to get rid of ugly ancient stuff in Inkscape, such as SPCurve. After the midterm, I will have to complete a final assignment at the university, and should have much more time to get useful work done in the second half of the project. Regards, Krzysztof

Bug of the Week - 167834
by Bryce Harrington 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

David is selecting bug #167834 as one of the two bugs of the week for this coming week. Please take a quick look and see if you can help move it to solution by Monday; it already has a verified patch that just needs wider testing. This is an ancient bug and so will be worth a ton of points for us. """ This one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/167834 I am not sure exactly what the original problem was, but the examples in posts 4 and 5 are not visible in Inkscape (on XP). Maybe that was the problem?

Threading problem in extension system
by Johan Engelen 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hi all, There is a threading problem with the extension system. It results in a crash when saving a document and quitting while the save is happening. Have a look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/967416 I don't know enough about glib's threading to fix this bug. I do not fully understand where the execution flow is going after the fork (/src/extension/implementation/script.cpp, line 1017, _main_loop->run();), nor where the fork is terminated. I hope someone who knows more about this can have a look. I'm afraid it may lead to pretty weird bugs when running time consuming extensions and doing stuff meanwhile. (gdb reports illegal mem accesses when doing stuff while an extension is running, for example). Is this asynchronous extension execution so important, or can we disable it for now to improve stability? regards, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] GSOC status report - Better support for SVG paints

I've noticed that symbols, patterns and swatches are very similar in the way they can be stored, rendered and presented to the user. They are all fragments of SVG documents, usually stored in /shared directory. When I finish implementing model for strong paints I'll see if it's usable for symbols. It seems to me much of the code can be shared. In addition to symbols dialog, size of the tile and fitting into tile will be controlled in swatches dialog. TileView widget supports it. I have to choose what kind of UI to use for setting the size. Currently the symbols dialog uses buttons at the bottom, while existing swatches dialog provides menu with options to control the look. In addition to this, in my proposal [1] I sketched a dialog for TileView configuration, but now I see it using it would mean a lot of clicking.

Review: C++ for Inkscape Core
by Martin Owens 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Dear Developers, I've been asked to review a large patch by Liam which is an attempt to C ++ify the core of inkscape, removing inkscape-private.h and making objects. I'm going through the code as requested, but I feel this patch will need more than me to give it the OK. Can I request some of the bright peers working on C++ification to give the patch their blessings too?

Hello The last bug was fixed in the Windows devlibs, so I tagged the 0.48.5 release and posted the tarballs to Launchpad. They should be available for download now. https://launchpad.net/inkscape/0.48.x/0.48.5 As usual, the announcement should wait until packages for major platforms are ready. (This is the first time I'm doing a release for a major project, so I hope I didn't make any big blunders.) Regards, Krzysztof

LPE on clip/mask - Bug 1241902

Hi all, Recently, a fix to Bug 1241902 was committed. But... I have second thoughts now. Do we really want to apply LPEs to clip and masks? Now, clips on a path with, say, LPE Sketch, works very weird. I now think that we really don't want to apply LPEs on clips/masks. cheers, Johan

I am having some difficulty with the latest code (also for 0.48.5 series) which I didn't have before or didn't notice before. :) There are lot of places where M_PI and friends is/are used without it/they being in scope. In some files, M_PI is defined right in with #ifndef block. What would be the fastest way (other than modifying the source all over the place) of rectifying this? A lot of the Windows specific stuff is defined with the #ifdef WIN32 block. However, in my case it only works if it's _WIN32 and not WIN32. This of course I can pass on the command line to gcc. Would be nice if it was standard as say glib or gimp. Thanks, Partha

I don't mean to be presumptuous, as I have not been involved in the development, but I began adding links and some content to the wiki for the next minor release: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.48.5 Please advise if I stepped to far ahead or if modifications are needed. --Jared

Optional hands on interface

> recently found out that I can ctl+atl+X to bring up a interface. That is nice. I enjoy programming the code more then I would using Inkscape GUI. But even the interface is still a GUI. I would like a second option to not reference from ID, but to actually have the code lay out like in a console. And also the ability to pin the window to the bottom of the main

by Krzysztof Kosiński 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

I have applied the patches from most of the "backport-proposed" items in the bugtracker and the 0.48.5 release is almost ready to tag. The only thing left is this bug related to UniConvertor: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/656938 Can someone test on Windows and report on the status of this issue? Does it apply to the 0.48.5 branch? Regards, Krzysztof

Website Stats

Hey Developers, I'm been monitoring the inkscape.org website for a few weeks and I waned to give you guys some data on how much traffic we get and what kind of visitors are coming. http://inkscape.org/media/stats/2014-05-18-2014-06-18/os.pdf http://inkscape.org/media/stats/2014-05-18-2014-06-18/lang.pdf http://inkscape.org/media/stats/2014-05-18-2014-06-18/searches.csv http://inkscape.org/media/stats/2014-05-18-2014-06-18/http-searches.csv First off, one and half million freaking views a month guys. This project is rocking and we should count our website as a major outlet for news and contributions. That's half a million users a month, 80% of who never visited before. If you take a look at the files, os wise we have a lot of windows and mac visitors. Plenty of iOS ones too, more than android. I feel we should make our os downloads more prominent on the front page. That's where most people are going. Language is interesting too. Lots of French, German, Japanese and Spanish. We should make sure that our website translations are up to scratch for these languages especially. Search terms are also interesting. Common mis-spellings for inkscape are inkspace, inscape, inskape, incscape, inkskape, inkscap, inscape, 'ink space' etc. Which looks like people heard is by ear and heard 'in' or instead of 'ink' and 'space' instead of 'scape'. Various variations on c for k and lots of transpositions. Other popular terms: download, free, vector, svg, drawing, program, software, tutorial, mac, illustrator, open source, editor, msi, osx and x11. Some searches of 'inkscape portable' spread around th results, not sure what that is or if people are searching for phone versions. Questions searched for: What is Inkscape for What fonts are available on Inkscape What is the latest version of Inkscape inkscape when converting a bitmap to vector what determines the order of the color layers what do i download on the computer 2 be able 2 draw what file formats does inkscape use what is a free software like adobe what is a vector based graphic what is a vector editing program what is the best free vector graphics program what is the latest version of inkscape for mac what program do i open a vector image what software do google use to create svg whats a free vector app for mac when is the best time to add filters to an art project? when should you use the undo command in inkscape where can you find inkscape's tools in the workspace? where is x11 inkscape where to download inkscape where to find inkscape for download which is best gimp or inkscape why an icon made in inkscape does not change into nvg why does pasting into inkscape make it black Interesting results. Any ideas from this data yourself? Best Regards, Martin Owens
