Updating gtk.zip for this release
by Bob Jamison 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Now that we are at the beginning of a cycle again, it is time again to start updating the gtk24.zip file with new stuff. I made a first try at a new bundle here: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/~rjamison/inkscape , ...at the bottom of the page. It is very large, but only because we will need to discover from development and usage what is needed from the Perl and Python libraries. It will of course get smaller with time. And I changed the name, since it is not just Gtk stuff anymore. Bob

Inkscape 0.40 - error importing AI files
by Martin Grohman 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

When I am importing .AI files this error message appears: ** (inkscape:9542): CRITICAL **: file document.cpp: line 511 (void sp_document_set_uri(SPDocument*, const gchar*)): assertion `document != NULL' failed Pleas help, how can I solve it? I have thousand .AI files which I could open in 0.39. Is downgrade only one solution? (OS: Gentoo unstable, same expirience with self compiled inkscape 0.40cvs and 0.40 stable in Slackware current) Thanks Martin Grohman

Suggestion: Dim-able layers.
by Jakob Ilves 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Hello! I had a very brief test of inkscape 0.40 and of course had a shot at using the layers feature and I liked it, especially that one could easily temporarely hide layers. One feature I would really appreciate is an additional option for a layer, in addition to locking and hiding: dimming (or whatever to call it). That is, one can set a layer to have a opacity lower than 1 to make it semi-transparent by using some convenient GUI widget. I know, one can do that today by entering the XML-editor (we all love it, don't we?) and once there, select the group the layer consists of and add "opacity: 0.5" (or whatever) to the group's style property. So it's already available but you know, a GUI isn't bad either. Thanks for a great tool! It is getting better and better! Best regards /IlvJa PS. I know, "Dim-able layers" might sound a bit corny but I could not make up any other term. (not a native English speaker, living in Sweden).

NEW: Tile clones
by bulia byak 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Before getting deep into the boring stuff planned for 0.41, I decided to do some eye candy... http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.41-CVS-linux-tiles1.png http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.41-CVS-linux-tiles2.png * The new powerful "Tile clones" dialog implements all 17 plane symmetry groups, allowing you to easily create all sorts of symmetric patterns, Escher-like tesselations, ornaments, etc. Since the pattern is made out of clones, you can freely edit the original tile and the entire pattern is updated live. This feature puts Inkscape into competition with software such as the free Arabeske or commercial SymmetryWorks. ** Apart from selecting the symmetry (and uniquely to Inkscape), you can also set the shift, scale, rotation, and opacity of the clones in the pattern, per row and/or per column. Any of these parameters can also be randomized to any degree. This produces "object fields" that can be arbitrarily distorted, skewed, slanted, "faded out," or "magnetized" like iron particles in a magnetic field. ** To create a clone pattern, simply select something, set the number of rows and columns, and click Create. You can then change some parameters in the dialog and click Create again; this will remove any existing tiled clones of the selected object and recreate the pattern anew. Or, you can just remove the old pattern by clicking Remove. To protect a pattern from deletion by this dialog, group it or move it to another layer. ** Initially, a pattern is created based on the bounding box of the selected object. For symmetries that involve rotation to an angle other than 180 degrees, the rotation point is usually in the middle of the right-hand side of the bbox. After the pattern is created, resizing the original tile does not move the clones away, so you can make the tiles overlap. Also, when the pattern is created, the current bbox of the original tile is remembered; later, if the "Use saved tile bbox" checkbox is on, the same bbox will be used when you click Create again, which means you can vary the pattern parameters without losing the overlapping of the tiles. ** It's best to use a group as the original object for tiling, because you can then enter this group (right-click, "Enter group") and draw inside it. Any changes or new objects added to the group will show in the pattern immediately.

pivot in scale mode
by PTT 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

I noticed from 0.39 on the pivotpoint (the cross that on which an object rotates, i think it's called pivot) is hidden in scale mode, so only visible in rotate mode. I find it quite usefull in scale mode too, (ie. while overlaying images you move the point to a place you want to keep, then scale so the whole image is as you wish). What is the reason it hides? And can it perhaps be turned into an option? PTT

inkscape memory leaks
by MenTaLguY 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hi, I was directed to recent traffic on the freebsd lists... I suspect the memory leaks you're experiencing aren't freebsd-specific, nor are they necessarily the result of bugs in libgc proper -- one of the recurring issues we've been having has been large leaks due to the way we bridged the refcounted and garbage-collected portions of the codebase. In a nutshell, some garbage-collected objects also have refcounts that can be used to pin them so they can be referenced by non-gc-aware objects. Since these objects are still traced by the collector, and are generally organized in the form of trees with parent pointers, a single leaked refcount will pin the entire tree of objects. [ It was one of those designs that seemed like a good idea at the time... ] In a profound irony, pretty much all of the leaks of gc-managed memory we've discovered so far have been due to refcount leaks in conventional code. :/ I thought we had found and fixed them all, but they can be pernicious and hard to nail down; I am noticing that we are still a little leaky on other platforms as well. There may be issues with libgc on freebsd as well, but I would look at refcount leaks if you've not already done so. Anyway, it sounds like you've been spending a good deal of time with debugging this; would you like to further compare notes in case we're duplicating effort? -mental

Difficulty with sizing imported EPS files...
by Daniel 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

[Please cc: me on replies] Hi, I'm using Inkscape 0.40 packaged for Debian unstable. If it's an issue, I'm also using the AFPL-licensed version of ghostscript, version 8.14. I have noticed the following issue, since I started using Inkscape, with version 0.39. Whenever I place EPS files into a new Inkscape document, they appear to be smaller (in pixel size or actual size, based upon bounding box) than they should be. For example, if I create both an EPS file and an SVG file produced by the command line version of potrace (which I was using with inkscape before it was included in the program as of version 0.40), using the exact same options and the exact same input file, they will import into Inkscape (both 0.39 and 0.40) with different sizes. The svg imported file will accurately reproduce the size of the EPS that I see when I use that EPS with other members of my tool chain (scribus, epstopdf, xpdf, acroread, etc.). Any ideas? Do you need anything else to quantify this? It appears very reproducible to me. Furthermore, when I export EPS from Inkscape (both 0.39 and 0.40), they appear (at least according to the 'file' utility, to be regular postscript, rather than encapsulated postscript). Any ideas? Thanks again for a truly magnificent product. How it has wonderfully surpassed my expectations. Take care, Daniel PS I've given it to 6-8 of my less Linux-aware friends for use on their Windows boxen in the past few weeks. They are grateful.
