~78 more points since we started, bringing us to over double the 150 points we were aiming for. :-) We're holding steady at at 100 open bugs of 709 total reported bugs, or 14%. We've been in the top 50 rank on SourceForge all week, which is impressive in that we haven't even done the release yet!

0.40pre2
by Ted Gould 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

With more layers functionality, additional bug fixes, calligraphy tool improvements and more the 0.40 release is starting to shape up. This has prompted the 0.40pre2 release to be created. Please take a look at this release and help us find more bugs! If they're not found, they can't be fixed. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=9911… Thanks, Ted PS - Binary packagers -- if you could please try to build a test binary that would be appreciated. We'd also like to put it into the file tracker, I can help you with that if you need.

New calligraphic icon
by Andreas Nilsson 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

With the recent update on the calligraphic tool I thought it might need a new icon. http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/calligraphicpen.svg - Andreas

Re: [Inkscape-user] 0.40pre2
by Bryce Harrington 09 Nov '04

The main reason there are not spec files for every distribution is that the spec file included has tended to work on most rpm systems with minor changes only, so there hasn't been a strong need to maintain separate spec files. This has been a bit of an advantage in that we were able to combine efforts on maintaining and improving the spec file. However, going forward I think it may be more necessary to split out separate spec files, especially if packagers take advantage of distro-specific features/macros, and doubly especially as distro vendors start providing the spec files. If this is done, though, it would be helpful to put these into a subdirectory. I.e.: inkscape/ packaging/ debian/ gentoo/ fink/ mandrake/ inkscape.spec suse/ inkscape.spec windows/ Bryce On Tue, 9 Nov 2004, Tuukka Pasanen wrote: > Hi, > How one can become a packager and why there isn't spec files for every > distribution available? > > Tuukka > > > > > With more layers functionality, additional bug fixes, calligraphy tool > > improvements and more the 0.40 release is starting to shape up.

performance under win2k
by Gazal, Geraud (GE Healthcare) 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hi, I don't know if some of you have noticed this, but it looks like the last builds (at least yesterday and today) of Inkscape have become slower under win2k (PII, 1GHz, 512Mo RAM): Examples : * start application, draw a rectangle and click on Fill and Stroke Dialog -> the dialog appears after more than 1sec. * start application, select text tool, type a few chars ("toto") -> the text is only rendered after 15 seconds ! * same problem with import of bitmaps (already notified in the bug tracker) Regards, Matiphas

Some suggestions for the export dialog
by Andreas Nilsson 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hello there! Im new to this list, but have been a user of inkscape since the beginning of the project. I use it on a regular basis, mostly for drawing icons and I therefore use the export function a lot. What I really miss for the export dialog is the ability to see what the final .png will look like, and that is expecally important when the output file must be very small. I usually end up checking the icon out in gThumb and then go back to Inkscape, tweaking the icon a bit and then export it again, and again, and again... Another thing that bothers me a bit is that is a bit hard to see what kind of export area that is choosed, and I think that maybe a bunch of radiobuttons is easier to see. I did a quick mockup on what it all could look like here: http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/inkscape_export_mockup.png I understand that everyone is busy with the release of 0.40, but perhaps this could be nice further down the road. - Andreas

layer functions - naming confusion
by Adib Taraben 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

Hi, I am a little bit confused when I want to use the layer functions. Once objects and layers are moved vertically in the Z-order "up-" and "downwards". But then I can move objects to "next" and "previous" layer. :-O Is next the lower or higher layer ? For me it makes more sense to call this functions also "move to lower" or "higher layer". This is my opinion. Thanks, Adib.

by Adib Taraben 08 Nov '04

Hi, testing the translation I found this nice feature for myself. But it does not work with my family name "Taraben" and the default font"Bitstream Vera Sans". Inkscape->Text->Remove Kerns Is this a feature or a bug? HTH, Adib.
