Re: [Inkscape-devel] Debian 8 compatibility falling apart after one month of Debian 9
by Michael Soegtrop 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

Ok, I am giving up now. The next issue is the change of "create_popup_menu" in "filter-effects-dialog.cpp". There is no easy way to patch this for GTK 3.14, because there Gtk::Menu::Menu(const Gtk::Menu&) is private. Since there are no GTK backports in Debian 8, I have to update to Debian 9 to build inkscape. Not nice :-( Best regards, Michael

Did commit 4a543072 break cmake?
by Michael Soegtrop 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

Dear Inkscape developers, I just updated to latest master und get the impression that commit 4a543072 broke the main CMakeList.txt file. At least I get this error running CMake: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:170 (add_custom_target): add_custom_target Wrong syntax. Unknown type of argument. and this commit changed this line. See: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/4a543072019e0bd4a0fcaaa3c2cef71… Best regards, Michael

Change introduced last week requires a newer CMake version than specified - what should the minimum CMake version be set to?
by Michael Soegtrop 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

Dear Inkscape Team, I found that since a change introduced a week ago the inkscape CMake files are incompatible with the CMake version which comes with Debian 8, which is 3.0.2. Ok I should update to 9 ;-) A question: the inkscape main CMake file mentions minimum version 2.8.2, which definitely does not work. 3.0.2 also does not work. CMake Version 3.6.2 does work. According to some googled hints the specific constructs introducing the incompatibility require at least CMake 3.2. My question: what should I set the minimum version to? 3.6.2 since I tested it with it? Or should I be more relaxed? What is the minimum version of CMake people are actually using successfully? Or should the change which introduced the incompatibility with Debian 8 be modified so that it works with older versions of CMake, e.g. 3.0.2? Best regards, Michael

Inkscape freezing while adding grid.
by Christophe Lebras 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

Hi, Please excuse my bad English. I have a problem with Inkscape since commit d6f2d85a (jemalloc cmake module) When I add a grid in Inkscape (Document properties/Grids/New), inkscape freeze and I must kill it. I’m under Arch Linux with jemalloc 5.0.1. If i compile without jemalloc or with version 4.5.0, there is no freeze. I reproduced the problem with openSuse tumbleweed but not with openSuse 42.1 and Ubuntu 17.04. With debugger, I found that Inkscape freeze in method DocumentProperties::update_gridspage(), line 1291: _grids_notebook.remove_page(-1); and that it's related to RegisteredColorPicker widgets used in method newSpecificWidget() of classes CanvasXYGrid and CanvasAxonomGrid. When i comment the code wich pack these widgets, there is no freeze. Unfortunately, I did not succeed to go further with debugger (I get stuck with a call to g_object_unref). I rewrite the code which manage grid properties without using Gtk:Manage and there is no freeze. I will clean my code and do a merge request. If anyone want to look at this problem, there is maybe a better solution. Best regards, Christophe

gallery moderation, fan art, and copyright
by brynn 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Hi Friends, Another moderation question has come up (mostly just for me), which is about how we want to define "fan art". Most (if not all) of the moderators think fan art should be allowed in the gallery. But I think it might be a good idea to have some parameters about it, and so I'm hoping the community can offer their thoughts about it. For a starting point and example, I'm totally ok with the Wikipedia defintion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_art) : "Fan art, or fanart, are artworks created by fans of a work of fiction (generally visual media such as comics, film, television shows, or video games) and derived from a series character or other aspect of that work." Does anyone think it should be expanded or restricted in scope, from there? Or should the description be more or less detailed or specific? A separate but related question is whether we want to bother with copyright issues, or leave it up to the license holder whether they want the image removed. For example, if someone reproduces a Pepsi or Coke logo. Or I remember a popular AI tutorial a few years ago, about how to draw the Chevy logo, which I always wondered whether it was a copyright violation. Those don't particularly seem to be fan art, at least not by the wikipedia definition....unless maybe television commercials are considered fiction. Martin says there is a concept within the DMCA and EUCD known as "safe harbor" which protects small websites from being responsible if its members post a copyrighted image. At least that's my understanding, based on the research I did about it. I might not have paraphrased it technically correctly. So should we go with the "it's not our job /we're not lawyers" position? Or should we be a little bit pro-active for blatant copyright issues. If we want to be a little bit proactive, I'm thinking we should also set some parameters about that. Or at least clearly state our policy. Fyi, this is what the current CoC says about it "Art must be your own original creation or derived from artwork available under an open licence. We cannot accept submissions that infringe copyrights." Personally, since Inkscape is an artist's tool (among many other uses), I think the community should be a little proactive about protecting copyrights and/or licenses. But I also think that if it requires a long and complex discussion, or detailed changes to the CoC, then falling back to "it's not our job" might be reasonable. But if that's the case, then the CoC isn't properly stating our position, and perhaps should be edited. Thanks for any thoughts or comments you might have about these things. All best, brynn

Bool LPE ready to merge
by Michael Soegtrop 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Dear Jabier & Inkscape Team, I think the Bool LPE updates are ready to merge. I already created a merge request a while ago (MSoegtrop:lpe-bool-hide-operand). The changes are: - split bool LPE into bool LPE and cut/trim path LPE - automatically hide/unhide operand paths - issue error message if operand paths have wrong type (open/closed) - LPE works directly on any object for "this" and operand. I think the changes in the .POT file in https://gitlab.com/MSoegtrop/inkscape/compare/master...lpe-bool-hide-operand Jabier mentioned are ok - it was regenerated to add the new strings from my files. Best regards, Michael

Request: Adding Information to the "ExportPDFCMYK" Wiki-Article
by niccorigi＠...1255... 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Hello Wiki-Team, I think I found something that would help future Users like me, and thus should be mentioned in the wiki: (I'm a Beginner, first time Inkscape for an Uni-Project), For a printing-service, I needed the CMYK-Colorformat. (In an PDF). But the recommended Extension ( http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ExportPDFCMYK <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ExportPDFCMYK> ) didn't work for me. (There was an Error during the Exporting). However, following process worked for me: 1. Export to PDF via the normal Export-Function. (Result is a Cairo-PDF in RGB-Colors) 2. Use ghostscript to convert it to CMYK: (found at http://zeroset.mnim.org/2014/07/14/save-a-pdf-to-cmyk-with-inkscape/ <http://zeroset.mnim.org/2014/07/14/save-a-pdf-to-cmyk-with-inkscape/> ) gs -dSAFER -dBATCH \ -dNOPAUSE -dNOCACHE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \ -sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK \ -dProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK \ -sOutputFile=document_cmyk.pdf \ document_rgb.pdf This process was much easier for me, as I only had to execute one Command Line, instead of installing two seperate Programs. And it was the only one that worked, which was crucial, as I had deadlines to follow. And I didn't notice any changes in the Appearance of my file, so the colors were, to the eye, perfecly preserved, even on the eventually printed PVC-Plane. Could you add this to the "ExportPDFCMYK" Wiki-Article, that this process existst? I would be very thankful to that! And maybe future Users too witch the same struggles I had. Best regards, Niccolò Rigi-Luperti niccorigi@...1255... <mailto:niccorigi@...1255...>
