icons breakage
by bulia byak 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Jon, in today's CVS: - There's a noticeable delay after the program window appears and before it shows icons in toolbars. It never happened before. - You removed the possibility for toolbars to be cut. Why? Now the window starts up wider than before, and if we add more controls to the selector toolbar it will have to be wider still. Moreover switching tools (e.g. switch to star) may resize the window, which is very annoying. Please fix this. Besides, you removed the only place where the "detach" flag was checked but did not remove its setting. This flag was added to make sure a detached toolbar is not cut while the attached one may be cut by the window. I think this must be restored.

layer commands we need
by bulia byak 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Here's a list of layer commands that we need to implement, comments and additions welcome: Layers... // opens the Layers dialog ------------------- Move to Layer Above Shift+PgUp // move selection to the top of sibling layer above, or to the top of parent layer (but not root) if no siblings Move to Layer Below Shift+PgDn // move selection to the top of sibling layer below, or to the bottom of parent layer (but not root) if no siblings Move to Layer... // let me choose the layer name to move selection to ------------------- Unlock All Layers // unlock all layers in the document (or all siblings of the current layer?) Unhide All Layers ------------------- Unlock All in Layer // unlock all children of the current layer Unhide All in Layer ------------------- Group to Layer // convert group to layer Layer to Group

gradient bug? icons
by David Christian Berg 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Hey guys, have a look at http://home.tu-clausthal.de/~dcb/gradients.png I've no clue, why that is... the one end is on top of the other, but instead of having just two plain areas it looks like in the screenshot. Anyways... icons: http://home.tu-clausthal.de/~dcb/icons.svg they still need some work, but... enjoy! David

NEW: gradient tool
by bulia byak 06 Mar '05

06 Mar '05

New in CVS: The Gradient tool (Ctrl+F1 or the g key) is a new convenient way to create, edit, and manage gradients: o Simply drag anywhere on canvas to create a gradient on selected objects. Existing gradients can be edited by dragging their handles (as in any tool that has on-canvas gradient editing enabled). o The tool's controls bar lets you choose the type of the newly created gradients (linear or radial) and whether they will be applied to the objects' fill or stroke. o For the gradient(s) of selected object(s), you can choose one of the gradient definitions in the document from the drop-down list in the controls bar. The Fork button creates a copy of the selected gradient definition and applies it to the selected objects, which is useful when you have several objects sharing one gradient definition but want to change that. The Edit... button opens the gradient dialog where you can edit the gradient definition (add/move/delete stops and change colors and opacities of stops). o The selected (blue) on-canvas gradient handle can be moved by arrow keys with all the regular modifiers (Alt ro move by 1 screen pixel, Shift to move by 10 times the distance). The Tab and Shift+Tab keys let you move selection from one handle to the next or previous. This functionality is largely equivalent to that of the Fill&Stroke dialog, but is much more convenient. Still TODO: - toggle buttons for spread (none/reflect/repeat) - button/dialog to rename selected gradient definition - X/Y spinbuttons for the position of the selected handle - the ability to assign color to the selected handle, so it's possible to edit at least two-stop gradients without opening the gradient editor - additional draggable handles for multi-stop gradients Also today I eliminated the old gradient position widget in Fill&Stroke as redundant. I'm thinking about removing the remaining gradient controls there too ("vector" list, Add/Edit, spread) because they are a duplication of what is available in the gradient tool, and have no added advantages in the dialog. All these changes were rather disruptive, so please test everything thoroughly. Of course any feedback on the usability, terminology (e.g. I had to invent the term "gradient definition" for that color strip with stops that can be applied to objects' gradients; Sodipodi termed them "vectors" which is incredibly misleading), or anything else is welcome.

You guys might have a look through these slides to see about mozilla + svg developments: http://www.mozilla.org/events/dev-day-feb-2004/mozilla-futures/ As you all know, mozilla svg is in the mozilla trunk now.

Inkscape crash while drawing a gradient

06 Mar '05

I just made Inkscape CVS crash while "drawing" a gradient. Here is the output from the terminal: (inkscape:21590): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `(null)' in cast to `GObject' (inkscape:21590): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1642 (g_object_get_data): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** ERROR **: file desktop-handles.cpp: line 31 (SPSelection* sp_desktop_selection(SPDesktop*)): assertion failed: (desktop != NULL) aborting... Emergency save activated! Cheers, Jef

Hacking on icon stuff
by Jon A. Cruz 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

Just wanted to let people know I'm in the middle of hacking on icon loading. My immediate goal was to get rid of the ugly rescaling and blurring of the stock icons. But in doing that I should also be able to get rid of all hardcoding of sizes. So... all the SP_ICON_SIZE_* defines are about to dissapear, and their use should be replaced with the logical GTK_ICON_SIZE_* defines in many places. In many other places, hardcoded sizes should just dissappear.

Some icons for the layer menu
by Jean-François Lemaire 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

Hello, I just finished drawing some simple icons for the layer menu; it looks too empty to my taste. I don't know if they will be of any use, but anyway, where can I post them for the world to see? The SVG is 47K. Cheers, Jef

Potrace 1.6, first try
by Bob Jamison 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

Peter Selinger recently released v1.6 of his tracing engine. I think that it is fairly well interfaced with our stuff, though I did have some problems with CVS. I -think- that the build is working fine again now, but in case any turn up missing while I am gone, I left a copy of the subtree here: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/files/trace.tgz Just replace the missing files, not the whole thing. By the way, the tracing is MUCH faster now. Bob

Builds
by Bob Jamison 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

I have been more regular with Win32 builds lately in this dir: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/builds Just look for the latest InkscapeYYMMDDhhmm.zip file. The one for this morning is: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/builds/Inkscape0503040733.zip In the very near future, I'm going to attempt to gather and build -all- of the sources to get gtkmm/libxml/etc working on W32 without the use of other people's binaries (OPB), so that we can have a clean dependency tree of our own. Maybe supply a single source bundle and a build script to simplify the build for others. On another note, I also occasionally build a copy of firefox with svg/cairo on FC3. It seems to work on my recent Gentoo install nicely, too. It is here: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/files/firefox-i686-linux-gtk2+xft+s… (built today). I attached the .mozconfig that made it, in case anyone wants to build their own. A good test is to look at the svg files on http://croczilla.com/svg Bob . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir ac_add_options --enable-svg ac_add_options --enable-svg-renderer-cairo ac_add_options --enable-system-cairo ac_add_options --disable-ldap ac_add_options --disable-calendar ac_add_options --disable-mailnews ac_add_options --enable-extensions="cookie,xml-rpc,xmlextras,pref,transformiix,universalchardet,webservices,inspector,gnomevfs,negotiateauth" ac_add_options --enable-crypto ac_add_options --disable-composer ac_add_options --enable-single-profile ac_add_options --disable-profilesharing ac_add_options --disable-shared ac_add_options --enable-static ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --enable-toolkit-gtk2 ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 ac_add_options --enable-xft ac_add_options --disable-freetype2 ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --disable-accessibility ac_add_options --disable-installer ac_add_options --enable-strip ac_add_options --disable-toolkit-qt #ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -march=i686" ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2" ac_add_options --enable-official-branding
