NEW: Make a bitmap copy
by bulia byak 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

The new command, Make a bitmap copy (Alt+B), exports a bitmap of the selected objects (hiding all other objects of the document), saves it as a PNG file alongside the document, and imports it back into the document. This can be used e.g. to replace objects with gradients or transparency by bitmaps for printing or PS/EPS export.

Screenshots needed for the Open Clip Art Library
by Jon Phillips 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hello all! The Open Clip Art Project is in need of your screenshots of clip art submitted to the project. An Open Clip Art Library developer, Jonadab, has constructed a script for the site (www.openclipart.org), that takes your screenshots (any size, but 1024 by 768 pixels preferred) into a thumnail, posts it to the screenshots page and then puts it into rotation on the main page of the site for the random screenshot viewer. Please contribute your screenshot! http://openclipart.org/cgi-bin/upload_screenshot.cgi Also, if you have any SVG clip art, submit that as well too: http://www.openclipart.org/ Jon

Greetings from the bleeding edge
by Jon A. Cruz 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Well... I finally got my new hard drive functional, and at the recommendation of other developer(s) went and put on Fedora Core 3 test 2 First, is anyone else on this? Second, I encountered a problem with libsigc++. The latest versions won't compile for me. 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 fail. However, 2.0.3 works. So second, has anyone else seen problems building 2.0.4 and 2.0.5? (my compiler is gcc version 3.4.2 20040907 (Red Hat 3.4.2-2))

NEW: current style & misc usability
by bulia byak 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

* All object-creating tools can use the current style for new objects. The current style is the style that you last applied to an object (when changing its fill, stroke, transparency, etc). For example, after you paint some object black, new shapes you create will be black too. Alternatively, a tool can use its own style for new objects, which is not affected by document editing. The Preferences dialog lets you choose between using the current style (shape tools by default) and the tool's own style (text, pen, and pencil by default) for any tool, as well as to set the style of a tool from current selection. The "Apply to" list in the Fill & Stroke dialog is removed; this dialog now always sets the style of the selection. * Double-clicking a tool button calls up the Preferences dialog open on the page of that tool. * The Preferences dialog remembers and reopens the page that was active the last time you used it.

SPObject coding
by Kees Cook 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to implement an SPObject? I'd like to correctly hook the metadata repr's to something that can receive proper signals, etc. Right now the metadata is a giant flaming hack, and it looks like I could really solve a bunch of the bugs by making it act like other repr-based things. Where can I look for some _easy_ examples of how the SPObject stuff works, and what the minimum requirement is for function implementations, etc? -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

milestones
by MenTaLguY 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Looking at the stuff we have slated for Milestone 6 (0.40), there seem to be several different major efforts going on at once. I see at least: * AST * gtkmmification * boehm collector * layers * text rewrite I think we need to tease these apart, and perform triage to push some of these into a subsequent milestone. -mental

OK, though I think they're anything but low-hanging. See bug 1039109. >> Simarilius still cannot do a compile on Windows. Can anyone please >> help him? He wants to do developing and bugfixing but cannot. > >What error is he getting? [10:13:42] <simarilius> its throwing a bunch of errors about __gxx_personality_v0 which from what i can tell on google means its not linkning part of the libstdc++ error handling code correctly, or something. [10:14:16] <simarilius> and when i say bunch, I mean several seconds worth of them scrolling by :) [10:37:13] <ishmal> does the link line mention -lstdc++ ? [10:39:15] <ishmal> you might try a few things.. (a) -lgcc (b) make sure the link line uses g++, not ld or gc [10:39:17] <simarilius> no, but I've tried adding it, in various places :) [10:40:09] <simarilius> its using mingw32-g++ Please contact him directly if you have any idea of what's going on.

SuSe RPM for 0.39 depends on gtk 2.4
by MenTaLguY 02 Oct '04

It looks like the SuSe 0.39 RPM requires gtk 2.4 to run, but that isn't reflected by the deps in the spec file. Could someone please straighten this out? -mental

"Vacuum Defs"
by Colin Marquardt 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hi, I find "Vacuum Defs" a bit misplaced in the File menu. Maybe it could be part of the Document Preferences dialog? That would also allow it to have a longer, more self-explanatory name. Cheers, Colin
