Recently save and save as started to default to Plain SVG instead of Inkscape SVG. Very annoying. Those who touched this code recently, could you please look into it?

I agree with Bryce -- it should be possible to set a per-user pref that would automatically be applied to new documents.

IMO it would be more useful to be able to set the default units on a per-user basis, rather than on a per-document basis. The method of storing the preference in a standard piece of stationery requires extra steps from the user. Personally I just want millimeters, always, and never anything but millimeters :-)

NEW: units, misc

First of all, as an American, let me just apologize to the rest of the world for being the only country in the world stupid enough not to have embraced the metric system. Anyhow, I'd like to propose doing what Adobe Illustrator does (or what I think I remember it does). Every user has a preference for the unit he likes to use by default. When he creates a new document, everything in that document is by default measured in those units, but he can change that on a per-documet basis.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Suggestion for the preferences dialog

The mockup looks nice! I would really like to have a way to set my prefs so that the units of measurement always default to mm rather than points.

NEW: units, misc

* Document units: now you can set the default units for each document in the Document Preferences dialog. These units apply to the rulers and the statusbar coordinates (previously unchangeable) and are preselected in all unit menus (such as in the Selector controls bar). The units are saved with the document, so you can make yourself a default template with your preferred units. * The px (pixels) unit is added to most unit menus. This is what is called "user unit" in the SVG specification, and in SVG code it is written either with the px suffix or (more often) without any suffix. Inkscape converts most dimensions to user units when writing them to SVG, and now you can use this unit via the GUI as well. Note however that the conversion ration from px to absolute length units may vary in different SVG renderers and different output media (e.g. Inkscape uses px/pt = 0.8 for screen editing), so you should not use px and absolute units in the same document. If you want one px to correspond to one bitmap pixel on export, use the export resolution of 90 dpi. * In Selector, the statusbar now reports not only the number of selected objects but also the number of layers in which they are selected and, if there's only one, the name of the selection layer.

Initial checkin of stream package
by Bob Jamison 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

Hi, all. Today I added the /src/io dir to the automake tree. It has some new interfaces and implementations whose purpose is to make it easier to read and write streams of data. Basically they are lightly based on java's input and output streams and readers and writers, and -not- on iostreams, which turned out to be too much of a burden for too little benefit. It is intended that they can be subclassed and/or chained together to get the desired effect. Also, they encourage people to use Inkscape::URI's instead of char *filenames and FILE *. This has been discussed for months for the purpose of referring to resources, but has been slow in appearing. These two are based on bytes (unsigned char) ================================= InputStream -- reads unformatted (aka binary) data OutputStream -- writes unformatted data These are for formatted unicode IO (gunichar and Glib::ustring) ============================= Reader -- formatted (aka text) data input like stream >> data; Writer -- formatted output like stream << data. Also has a printf() InputStreamReader -- uses an inputstream as its source OutputStreamWriter -- uses an outputstream as its destination So far there are =========== (these need to be filled out, but work for files now) UriInputStream --reads data from an Inkscape::URI UriOutputStream -- writes data to an Inkscape::URI need to be implemented: ----------------------------- UriReader UriWriter These work in the tests: ================= XsltInputStream XsltOutputStream GzipInputStream GzipOutputStream StringInputStream StringOutputStream These need to be fleshed out and tweaked, but basically they are usable already. I need to run to an appointment, so I'm making this brief. I just wanted people to know that this is available. Bob

NEW: background color spillover
by bulia byak 29 Dec '04

Inspired by a recent message in the Sodipodi list, I did this: * The page background color is now applied to the entire canvas, not to the framed page only as before. Makes more sense than before IMHO.
