small textual things

Hi, A few textual things in "Inkscape 0.40cvs (Nov 12 2004)": Object Properties dialog: We have "Sensitive", "Active" and "Printable", so why isn't the 4th one "Hidden" (instead of "Hide")? XML editor: the "Set" button text is unlocalizable. Layer selector button: "root" and "Layer" are unlocalizable. Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!

Hi, For those who have not heard of it yet: there's a new source code search engine for open source developers. Like Google, except it searches in source code. The web address is www.koders.com.

I wrote up a few paragraphs about using the tracer, in OpenOffice format, here: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/~rjamison/inkscape/files/tracing.sxw ...if anyone would like to help in documenting this stuff... Maybe produce an SVG document. We could use some help. Bob

SVGZ files on windows
by John Cliff 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hi all, Found a solution to the svgz opening problems that the windows build was having, needed a change of libxml dll to one with the gzip stuff turned on, combined with a correction to the example files to strip the carraige returns out that had corrupted them when cvs dled them as ascii. To fix svgz opening on an existing build, replace the current libxml2-2.dll with the one from this package: ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/libxml2-2.6.15.win32.zip (it needs renaming to libxml2-2.dll) then redownload the example svgz's to get copies that arent corrupt. Daniel, can you replace the dll being used to build your dailies? they'll work ok then. svgz output is another issue entirely, as we currently ass the output off to gzip to compress it. This doesnt work on windows as gzip isnt a standard prog like on linux. it is however freely available, and only 60k, so if someone who has a clue how the extensions stuff works would like to tell me what i need to do to get that working too I'll look into it. (seems like adding an extra 60k to the install size on windows would be worth the functionality) Cheers John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!

Thanks Trent. Can you also skim over the Debian docs for compiling and packaging Inkscape to see if it's still correct? http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CompilingInkscape http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CreatingDists Bryce On Thu, 11 Nov 2004, Trent Buck wrote: > Quoth George Farris on or about 2004-11-09: > > Can someone please make Debian packages as well, I would love to test > > this on Ubuntu.

small textual problem
by Arpad Biro 10 Nov '04

Hi, A new string from src/dialogs/xml-tree.cpp: "<b>XML Editor</b> Select attributes and edit them." I guess there should be some punctuation between "Editor" and "Select". Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Glue : SVG Support ? Inkscape Sypport ?

E.g. there's no way of forming or breaking connections other than editing the SVG (say using inkscape's XML editor). What I've done is just enough for the non-inkscape work I'm doing: I can write SVG files from a java program, and when I'm using inkscape I can drag boxes around and have the lines follow. > The insight that would get me started would be, what would be the > content of the SVG that supports a "connection" ?.

See the inkscape:connection-start="#ID" and inkscape:connection-end="#ID" attributes in the appended example file, and note the two xmlns lines in the <svg> element's attributes. pjrm. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20010904//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape" > <rect style="fill:#0000ff;stroke:#000" id="my-rect" x="400" y="200" width="180" height="100" /> <ellipse style="fill:#ff0000;stroke:#000" id="my-ellipse" cx="150" cy="250" rx="80" ry="50" /> <path style="fill:none;stroke:#000" d="M 230,250 L 400,250" inkscape:connection-start="#my-rect" inkscape:connection-end="#my-ellipse" /> </svg>
