Hi, I extended the german translation (layers, path on text, some translations left on the menue) also I did some finetuning: put the BOLD where the originals also shows the bold btw: there was a question in the translation comments: what is the difference between cut and break a path ? Also there is a new menue point: Inkscape->File->New->"layers" ??? therefore is no translation in the po-file prepared. Thanks, Adib.

align objects and pixel unit
by Yemu 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

hi would it possible to add keyboard shortcuts to align actions. I thikn such shortcuts might be useful because aligning is one of the most often used actions when creating vector graphics and necessity to press ctrl+a and then move mouse and then click in order to align objects is IMHO just not user-friendly. would it be possible to add shortcuts for align? i come from the "corel-country" and i'm used to C(enter-horizontally), (c)E(nter-verically),T(op),B(ottom),R(ight),L(eft) keys. unfortunately they are mostly reserved for other actions (i.e elipse, rectangle etc). but that's not a problem i could swith to other keys :-) since i use inkscape mostly for designing website layouts my second question is: would it be possible to add pixel as another unit? it would made exporting images of certain size easier (read: it would made my, and hopefully also others' life easier :-) thanks for the great app! best regards yemu -- www.cezarybiele.com

object properties
by bulia byak 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

I notice the Object Properties dialog has changed. Questions: Why are Title and Description always disabled? What is Label? It's made from the id obviously but pressing Update informs me that it is "invalid". Hey, I did not put it there! Why Inkscape gives me something which he (Inkscape) knows to be invalid? Most importantly, where did the id= field go? We must keep a way to edit id, even if we add more stuff to this dialog.

Static c++ lib efforts
by Bob Jamison 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Hi, all, Today I started working on rebuilding Inkscape with static C++ libs. Here are the things I performed: 1) Rebuilt gcc with --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-shared This resulted in a libstdc++.la file like this: =========== SNIP ============== # libstdc++.la - a libtool library file # Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.4a-GCC3.0 (1.641.2.256 2001/05/28 20:09:07 with GCC-local changes) # # Please DO NOT delete this file! # It is necessary for linking the library. # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='' # Names of this library. library_names='' # The name of the static archive. old_library='libstdc++.a' # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs=' -lm -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../.. -lgcc -lc' # Version information for libstdc++. current=6 age=0 revision=2 # Is this an already installed library? installed=yes # Files to dlopen/dlpreopen dlopen='' dlpreopen='' # Directory that this library needs to be installed in: libdir='/usr/local/lib' ================ SNIP =================== 2. ) I built boehm-gc6.3 with: --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-cplusplus 3.) I built libsigc++-2.06, glibmm-2.4.5, gtkmm-2.4.6 with: --enable-static --disable-shared 4.) I did a new ./configure, a 'make clean', and a 'make' It successfully produced an Inkscape with these dependencies: [rjamison@...556... src]$ ldd ./inkscape linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00111000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x00b34000) libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x004df000) libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0x00613000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0x00ea5000) libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 (0x00112000) libpangox-1.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0 (0x00437000) libpng.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x00701000) libpopt.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0 (0x005bc000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x00220000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00117000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x001df000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x001e7000) libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (0x007c8000) libpango-1.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0x00232000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0x0026a000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0x0059c000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0020e000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x002a9000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00328000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x0038d000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x0039e000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x003b0000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x007ef000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00abf000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x0021b000) libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0x025c6000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x003d3000) libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x003e1000) ...as you can see there are no C++ dependencies! Most of the others would be on every Linux machine. Some, like the X libs and Glib/Gtk, are dynamic-only, as they load other libs dynamically. 5.) Now here's a PROBLEM!!! Do we really use the C++ part of Boehm-GC? I would like to remove that dependency. Because when we make the gimpgrad.so plugin, our use of static libs gives us duplicate symbol errors. This is similar to Win32 DLL's, in that when you make a standalone shared object, everything must be defined explicitly, unlike in an executable. Can we remove libgccpp.a as a dependency? I think Mental has wrappers around the C part instead. Below is the link error with gimpgrad.so. Anyway, that's how it goes so far. I hope others will give this a try. Cheers!

Hi, I'm attaching an updated spanish .po file. I changed all "Trace" (verb) to "Vectorizar" to avoid confusion For some reason when I do "cvs update" I don't get some of the directories: src/traits, src/trace and several more.

svg->pfd
by David Christian Berg 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hey Carl, thanks for the info. I'm CCing the inkscape list to let them have these information. Unfortunately the existing backend is not available from the URL stated in the message you point at. Any clues, where I could find it? Take care!

Cleanup of file import & drag-n-drop
by Jon A. Cruz 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

I noticed that the code in the drag-n-drop for input is a copy-n-paste duplicate of code that used to be in file.cpp. At the moment it's duplicated by the extension mechanism, so we get two different code paths executed for dragging a file onto a doc versus importing a file via File|Import... menu item. I was thinking that these should be changed, with the duplicated (and stale) code in interface.cpp removed and calling that in file.cpp. Are there any subtlties I might be missing in here, or is it just a classic rogue tile bug pattern and in bad need of that cleanup?

strange bug (?) in current CVS
by Arpad Biro 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Hi, "Inkscape 0.40cvs (Nov 1 2004)" 1. launch Inkscape 2. Shift+Alt+B -- the Trace dialog shows up -- 3. close that dialog 4. open any other Inkscape dialog (prefs, text, whatever) Together with that other dialog, the Trace dialog also shows up. I'll supply more details if you cannot reproduce it. Arpad Biro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

static builds?!
by bulia byak 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Nobody has volunteered to provide static builds so far, though many people want to test them. It's really bad because it may delay the release - I don't think we can make the final release after less than a week of static prerelease testing. Anyone?
