IIRC, the fix, basically, is to include <ft2build.h> before any other freetype headers ... however, I am not sure whether that will break the build with older freetype versions. :/ -mental

Gtk2.4/gtkmm2.4 file dialogs
by Bob Jamison 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

Hi all. I started on a new pair of file dialogs, using the new Gtk2.4 stuff for which we have been waiting. Here is a screenshot of a File Open dialog with Gtk::FileChooserDialog. http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/files/filedialog.png I haven't committed it yet, but it is mostly done. It just needs some tweaks. If this works well enough, then we can throw away the buggy Win32 dialogs in the next few days. Any opinions? Bob

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Preview for image import

I made a tiny SVG template that is dynamically filled in with the image (scaled to fit with its aspect) , the rectangle around it, and the text that indicates its size. The svg preview displays it as though it is an SVG file. Here is the snippet of code that does the trick, if anyone would like to see it. Just match up the %s's and the %d's with the printf() below it, to make sense of it. Bob ======== SNIP SNIP SNIPPITY SNIP ======== //Our template.

Navigating on the canvas and other things
by unknown＠example.com 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Hi Inkscape folks, I'll skip the part, of thanking you for the great software in my emails from now on (I haven' in most so far...). I want to make point out that inkscape has become my favourite vector graphics program... just for one last time :) So anyways, I could be writing this each time I use it... and of course each time I use it, there are things that I like to complain about. Don't take it personally or anything, I just believe that pointing out what I don't like will eventually help improving the software. Well... navigation. I always liked the navigation in inkscape. I was very much used to it and know it from other programs. The mouse wheel scrolls up and down, when holding ctrl (or is it shift?) left and richt, for alt it is zoom in and out. Now I have been using autoCAD for a while, and while I first was very much annoyed with it's behaviour, I now think it's superior. It's simple... the mousewheel zooms by default. I zoom out turning it towards me and in, rotating it away. It's crutial that it zooms in, right where the cursor points! Well... to navigate on the canvas you zoom out, drag the canvas (pressing middlebutton) and zoom in. This is very efficient, and the best way to navigate on the canvas, I have used so far, as soon, as one is a little used to it. Also compare RFE [ 950537 ]. What do you think? Is the rendering to slow, maybe? Has any of you experience with this kind of navigation? And: could it be implemented, either as default (it's a very good default!) or as an option? Also: should I file an RFE? Other problems: - How do I add a pattern. The only way I have found so far is to import an image... that is kinda stupid. the pattern dialog has to allow one to import a new pattern. - Inkscape crashes on me frequently (mostly while trying to copy objects)... I can't tell the reason, and I don't care too much, since I have wonderful backups. But opening these backups is quite complicated... could inkscape ask, if I want to restore the files, when I restart it? - And, of course: How is the progress on text editing? I think text is the weakest part of inkscape atm. Take care David

Preview for image import
by Bob Jamison 27 Jul '04

I added previews for some types of images. We could probably add others. Here is yet another screenshot :-) http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/files/filedialog4.png Bob

libgc dependancy
by MenTaLguY 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Just a quick note that I've added a dependency on libgc. Things look OK except for one issue I'm not sure of ... Debian puts the libgc header files in /usr/include/gc (they're good about segregating library header files that way). I'm not sure whether other distros do that, however. Let me know if your distro puts them someplace else.. -mental

grid lines
by bulia byak 25 Jul '04

25 Jul '04

Ted, excellent work on emphasized grid lines! The only suggestion is that I think they should be made more darker still, for better contrast. Darkening by 25 instead of 10 looks much better on my screen.
