Hi, I might be missing something, but there is no "fullscreen" menu item in Linux version of Inkscape for several weeks, though Windows version has it. Where has it gone and why? I have CVS from 22nd, November in both Linux/Win environment at the moment. Alexandre

layer naming dialog progress
by MenTaLguY 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Well, I think I've done about all I can do on the layer naming dialog for this release. At least now it doesn't get confused about which desktop's layers it should be renaming (I removed the use of SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP), it's modal, and it won't sit on desktop or layer refs after it's closed either. The remaining thing to do is to fix the updating of the layer selector widget. It is apparently my bug rather than Gtk's, thankfully, though I've not figured out 100% yet what is going wrong except that the tree model row corresponding to the layer isn't being found (so the row update stuff is never called). -mental

static library linking
by Kees Cook 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Okay, I talked with Bob and I now understand what's going on. We're not doing a static binary (where ldd returns nothing), we're linking various libraries statically. The goal is to make certain weird ones static, and leave the more common stuff. Basic steps: compile libraries statically, link inkscape against those. I wrote up a quick Wiki how-to: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CompilingStatic and then modified the inkscape.spec file to allow static library linking. Unfortunately, I've got Debian, so my built RPMs are a little weird. :) I didn't want to "publish" my goofy RPM on Sourceforge, but Bulia wanted to see it, so here it is: http://outflux.net/inkscape-0.40cvs-CVS.i386.rpm (don't ask why it's named all weird... must be RPM magic.) Using "alien" anyone can easily convert this to a tarball, too. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

snap to page border
by David Christian Berg 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

The first and often only guides, I create, are guides on the page border and guides that are within a 5 mm frame from the border. Now this makes me think if it wouldn't make sense to have a "snap to page border" in the documents prefs (page tab) as well as a "snap to margin" and then be able to define a top, left, right, bottom margin of the page. Should I file an RFE? David

flow text
by David Christian Berg 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Hi guys, I just worked with flow text for the first time and I really, really love it! You can't tell how much I'm looking forward to proper flow text editing... I mean it was kinda of a pain copying all those spans and stuff but wow, what a result! (see attached screenshot) This is a major step towards professional layouting, I must say. David

CVS status
by Gazal, Geraud (GE Healthcare) 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

The problems seems to be resolved now. For info, seen this morning on : http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?group_id=1&docid=2352 -> ( 2004-11-23 08:07:38 - Project CVS Service ) On 2004-11-23 a disk failure on the anonymous CVS server for projects starting with the letters: e, h, i, j, o and v is causing anonymous CVS, ViewCVS and tarballs for these projects to be unavailable. We are currently working on this issue and do not have an ETA for resolution. Regards, Matiphas
