typos, but this time in source code
by Arpad Biro 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Hi, The current CVS does not compile, possibly because of #include "extenstion/extension.h" lines in src/extension/init.cpp and src/extension/system.cpp. Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

one gradient for multiple objects
by David Christian Berg 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

When you want multiple objects to have the same userpace gradient you have to group them now (was already this way in the build I had from cvs in mid october). That sucks, since maybe you don't want to group them because there are objects between them (z-order wise). Now, I think the problem is that for each object there is a new gradient created on switching to gradient from solid. Therefore right after the switch you have two objects with two different gradients selected and hence can't edit the gradient(s).

windows builds?
by bulia byak 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Sorry to be pushy, but the crash on save Windows bug is very bad, and I want to check asap if JonCruz fixed it or not. Right now I don't have time to set up windows builds on my machine, so I rely on http://inkscape.org/win32-snap/. However the latest build there is from 29 oct. Is there a newer one somewhere?

0.40pre1
by Ted Gould 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Okay, I've made a tarball for 0.40pre1 so that people can make packages for testing. This is not feature complete for 0.40, but it would be nice if everyone could use this to find more bugs. We want to continue our tradition of having quality releases! Also, we'd like to find any packaging bugs that may have shown up. https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=991… Thanks everyone for their help! --Ted

can't undo delete layer
by David Christian Berg 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

just got myself the newest cvs to find some bugs. I noticed, that undoing deleting a layer is not possible. I'd call that a mayor bug! Also the fontsize of "(root)" in the combobox in the statusbar is decreased when you have a layer selected. Strange, I'd say.

Some Usage Notes
by Michael Wheeler 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

I recently used Inkscape for a little bit of my "real work", and I took a few notes to share. I was using the Sept 24th build on Win 2000, which I know is a bit old. I'll grab the latest build as soon as I get a chance and start taking notes with that. Anyway, take these for what they're worth... Text on a path is very cool. It would be nice to be able to drag the starting point of the text along the curve. Alt+Click does not seem to work to select under in the select tool. Middle mouse pan and zoom is great and should be in every application! Maybe Shift+MM Drag could work like dragging a box with the zoom tool. It would make the middle mouse button more complete as the document navigation button. I wouldn't ever have to switch to the zoom tool. I'll make an RFE. The open file dialog freezes for a while right after I make my first click in the file area (even if it's a directory, or other item that needs no preview) Editing paths becomes very slow, almost to the point of becoming unusable, at high zoom levels, or with modestly complex paths. Text Dialog takes a long time to pop up. The font used for menus is smaller than that used by other applications. Keep up the good work! Michael Wheeler http://www.planet-zero.net

static prerelease builds?
by bulia byak 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

It's very nice to see the overwhelming response to the bug review call. Thanks everyone. Now, the other thing we need to do is, of course, finding more bugs to fix :) With the recent bugfixes, I think the time to test it in earnest has come. So I would like to ask if anyone is capable of providing periodic builds of Inkscape to be uploaded to SF as a testing/prerelease series, the same as Ted did for 0.39. However the important thing about the 0.40 testing builds is that they must be linked statically. With all the new libraries we now use, and with all the reported incompatibilities of their versions, it is critically important that at least Boehm and libsigc++ are static, and maybe also gtkmm and others. This will make it so much easier for people to try out the builds. We will have to provide static builds of the final release, so why not start testing the static build process right now. Any volunteers?
