Alternative glyphs
by Tavmjong Bah 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hi, Many fonts have alternative glyphs for some unicode codepoints. These glyphs can be accessed by enabling OpenType tables such as 'salt', 'ss01', etc. Inkscape has supported using such alternative glyphs through the 'Variants' tab of the 'Text and Font' dialog (under the last section, 'Feature Settings'). But one problem that was pointed out is that it is difficult to know what alternative glyphs are available for a particular font. I've just added code in trunk that will display such alternative glyphs in the 'Feature Settings' section. The GUI leaves a bit to be desired and there is some more work to do to show all alternative glyphs properly (for example, font style is ignored) but it is a start. Please test it out and give me your feedback. Tav

Hello Inkscape Community, I proposed at the irc board meeting my participation on the hack fest. I introduce myself as a dev and a user whose bug reports usually have a patch ready. I can do a talk "How we use inkscape to drive our CNC machine" and the gotchas that came up: http://chris.rudorff.com/Plotter/IMG_20170214_165918604.jpg This is a 1.4x10.5m vacuum desk with pen + laser tool. It cuts panels for sail making. It was build 1985 and survived more than computer system (WannaCry? WannaLaught!): http://chris.rudorff.com/Plotter/IMG_20170127_180750123.jpg So we hit the 1% zoom limit of inkscape ;) Beside the bugs I already fixed in inkscape I found more issues: memory leaks and performance eater. Top on my todo is the dxf importer. I hacked it for our needs but this extension can use a rewrite I can do. My travel is not that far but I can use some funding for staying/hotel/sofa. So I am looking forward meeting the people behind inkscape ;) chr[]

Thanks Maren. I also add another feat at the same way: "hide selected objects" "unhide objects below" I hope i commit the code in half hour or less. Cheers, Jabier.

Hi all. A thing easy to do: Right click->context_menu:lock selected items. Right click->context_menu:unlock down items. First one is optional. Want to add to Inkscape? Please let try to say the best 1 or 2 strings to the menu. Cheers, Jabier.

Gitlab Migration (for reals this time)
by Ted Gould 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Howdy folks, (sorry about the accidental first send) As we've discussed more that once we're looking to move a Bazaar repositories on Launchpad over to Git repositories on GitLab. We're now closing in on the time for that migration. We've discussed a schedule in the board meeting this afternoon and I wanted to make sure everyone is aware of the plan. We're expecting 24-hours of "downtime" as part of this. ==== Step 1 ==== Wed, 7 Jun evening US time We're going to make the Bazaar repositories owned by the project owned by the board and then start migrating them to Git. This will hopefully mean that accidental commits won't happen. The migration to Git will take a few hours, giving it over night to complete (allow for some network hiccups). ==== Step 2 ==== Wed, 8 Jun morning US time Push the Git repo and branches to GitLab, this should take a little while, but will hopefully be done by the afternoon. We should be generally good to go after that, but will verify a couple of downloads. ==== Step 3 ==== Party! I'll send an e-mail to the mailing lists for each phase as we go through them with a status update. If you have an open branch on LP, it should be migrated. Please make sure to push before Wed. night the 7th. It would be even better if they could be merged but that shouldn't be required. You should be able to pick up your branch from Gitlab on the other side. Ted

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-docs] News item about the new manual work?

Hi Carl (and Brynn, see bottom), Am 04.06.2017 um 15:55 schrieb Carl Symons: > > I have been holding off on any further editing and proofreading pending a > resolution of the following information for myself. > > There are places in the manual where additional information would be useful. > Information that is not in the original version. Should it be added? If yes, > to what extent should the content be tweaked? This depends on the amount of detail you want to add. It should fit into the book's concept of giving 'just the necessary basics'. Everything that is not strictly necessary, and does not *largely* improve the helpfulness of the book for someone who knows *nothing* about vector graphics, should be left to the detailed manual for advanced users. This is just an introduction, for people who want to learn by do(odl)ing, and who will pick up the concepts as they advance. It is meant to be easy - in writing style, with short sentences, as well as in contents. Would you like to pick up proofreading again where you left? You're welcome to make edits that fit the above description any time, without having to ask for permission. > Also ... there was some discussion about reorganizing the manual, changing > chapter order and the like. > > Apologies if this has been discussed previously. I've only recently joined the > manual effort. > > It would help to know if the project is mostly about translation or if it's > more extensive than that. Guidance please. @Brynn + Carl: I think we might postpone the changing of chapter order to a later point of time, so we will get a first, 'working' copy faster, and so people have a chance to gain insight into the conceptualization of the book. Also, that discussion got us sidetracked a bit, it seems, if it lead to Carl not knowing what to do next (and if). If anything, changing the order is a matter of drag and drop, and can be done any time, it shouldn't stop us from working. (I was thinking having a skeleton ready at Hackfest time might be useful, in case Elisa and Cédric would like to help work on this then - but of course, I don't know what their plans are for Paris).

Thank you, Marietta, Carl, and Martin for pointing me into the right direction (hopefully) and for calling for help, and volunteering your time :) I'm glad to know that people are still interested in helping, but might just not have known how (or, in CR's case, are too busy with other stuff - believe me, I understand). Guess I got too used to the standard open source theme of 'grab a task and do it if you're up to it' - and I'm also kind of shy about telling others what to do. I'm sorry about not getting that I should take on a more active, guiding role, to make it easier for new members to join. @Marietta: What do you think about Martin's suggestion?

Extension

Hi all. There is a pending merge with a python extension. https://code.launchpad.net/~rwhite8282/inkscape/frame-extension/+merge/2873… There is two things to do with it: * Review it, I could do but not too much expertice on python. * Decide if is a extension suitable to grow default ones or maybe is better include into inkscape.org/extensions. Cheers, Jabier.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] All hands to Merge Requests!
by Martin Owens 04 Jun '17

Hi Michael, This sounds very much like it should have gone into trunk /before/ going into 0.92 or 0.93. The process is that items are merged into trunk/main and then are forked to the release branch, these forks then get merges from trunk (and rarely fixes just for that branch). If it was working for 0.92 and still works in trunk and has been reviewed, merge it in. The deadline is Wed 7th June, so it's practically now!
