The one catch is that for crashes due to failed assertions (like this one), it isn't triggered yet. (I'm CCing the development mailing list, if anyone's interested in attacking this right now: At least on Unix, this is relatively easy to fix -- just set up a SIGABRT handler similar to the SIGSEGV handler we have now. The one catch is that the handler will need to disable itself as soon as it is triggered, because the autosave code raises SIGABRT when it is done. Also we should make sure we've got SIGBUS covered if we don't already.) -mental

Gristle down?

Is it just me, or is Gristle.org down? (Normally I wouldn't post something like this, but I can't get onto irc.freenode.net to check) Bob

New features in Illustrator
by Joshua A. Andler 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Just thought I'd throw the link on the list so you can all see what they're up to... http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/newfeatures.html Boy does that "Control Palette" look awfully familiar. ; ) (yeah, I know Xara had it first, but still... goes to show how they're playing catch-up in some areas) The Live Painting and Enhanced Stroke options look interesting... I question how much better their new "live tracing" is, compared to their old tracing engine (as it is supposedly much better). The rest of the "new features" don't look too interesting to me (other than the custom workspaces, which might be handy... but it's something only a fringe crowd would benefit from). Just figured I'd see what others opinions were. -Josh

Palette loading
by Jon A. Cruz 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

I got palette loading in last night. It now looks in the /usr/local/share/inkscape/palettes and ~/.inkscape/palettes directories for any Gimp-style palette files and loads them all up. Of course... that was just loading. :-) I'll check in soon to add UI changes to allow switching the palette displayed in the swatches window.

undo crash
by bulia byak 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Mental, I had to revert document-undo.cpp to 1.21 because your version crashes on any attempt to undo with: ** ERROR **: file xml/simple-session.cpp: line 45 (virtual Inkscape::XML::Event* Inkscape::XML::SimpleSession::commitUndoable()): assertion failed: (_in_transaction) aborting... Sorry I didn't discover this yesterday, was too busy with other things. But please do be more careful with testing before committing.

remembering window size in config
by Artemio 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

Hello all! I indeed know that it's possible to store window geometry in the .svg files, but now I have this feature turned off. It comes out not really useful in sutuations like described below. What if I want Inkscape to always start maximised, but my friend whom I share my works with wants his Inkscape to start not maximised but with a given window size? All apps I know remember minimised/maximised status and geometry in their configs. Is it possible to be added to Inkscape too, or this is not something you consider needed? Thanks! Artemio.

NEW: snapping improvements
by bulia byak 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

- When several objects (or a group) are selected and the "snap points" mode is active, only the outermost points or nodes will snap, instead of all points in selection. [patch by Eric Jonas] - In the "snap points" mode, a text object will snap its baseline anchor (the left end of the baseline) to grid or guides. That anchor point is visualized as a little square mark when a text object is selected.
