Pattern manipulation
by John Cliff 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

Hi guys, Have commited the stuff I was working on to give control knots for manipulating pattern fills. Knots are currently provided for translation, rotation and scaling. Theres a circular node at the pattern 0,0 with 2 diamonds, one to the right, and on below (in the pattern co-ord system). To move the pattern, drag the circle, to rotate, drag the diamond to the right, to scale the one below. I'm putting thought into how best to do skew and non uniform scale, however need to discuss that with people, both from UI and maths point of views, so dont intend trying to get those done for 0.39.

Pattern Fill idea
by Bryce Harrington 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

The pattern fill capability is *great*! I have one suggestion, but have no idea if this is easy or hard... As an option it would be extremely useful to be able to specify "whole object fills only" that would only print the tiled object if it can be done in a non-clipped fashion. For example.... http://www.bryceharrington.com/army_ants.png See in the polygon on the lower right, that only whole shapes are shown. Objects that would be partial fills are excluded. Bryce

* The rotation/skew axis crosshair in selector remains where you put it for as long as you have the object(s) selected; to reset it to the center, deselect and reselect. Also the crosshair is only displayed in rotate mode, not in scale mode - this makes it easier to drag small objects. * You can reverse the direction of selected path(s) either via Path > Reverse or by pressing 'r' in node tool (useful for markers and combining paths). * In the Fill and Stroke dialog, Stroke Width can use the % unit for relative stroke width changes. When several objects are selected, using the percent unit changes the stroke width of each one relative to its previous value (unlike absolute units which assign an average width to all objects). _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee� Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Testing NLS on win32
by Bob Jamison 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

After some coercion, I added ENABLE_NLS to the makefiles and main.cpp. After a couple of hours we got the build to link properly, then we got the 'dist' to build the LC_MESSAGE dirs properly. What I mean is, I -think- everything is proper. We need people to check this out in whatever their favorite Locale may be; DE, Ethiopian, Klingon, whatever. Let us know how it is working. Bob

Win32 freeze bug: windows users please test a patch
by Carl Hetherington 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Hi, The following hack seems (for me) to improve matters wrt the win32 freeze-at-border bug. It triggers a few problems elsewhere (failed assertions etc.) but I think they're fixable. Could Win32 people try it and see how they get on?

who is involved in Inkscape.org site maintenance?
by Artemio 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Hello, Inkscapers! I wanted to ask you, who except Bryce is involved in changing things on the Inkscape.org site? It's that I plan uploading some new pages that I'm about to complete, and wanted to be sure I won't intereset with other's changes. I always update the page to the most recent one from CVS, then modify and commit, but during the modification time someone can change it too ;-) I hope you know what I mean. Artemio.

Partial German translation
by Colin Marquardt 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Hi, here is an (incomplete) de.po for an older Inkscape CVS snapshot from June 6th. The status is 652 translated messages, 154 fuzzy translations, 129 untranslated messages. If you look through the file, there are some strings marked up with "!!!" where (sometimes) the original string makes it hard to translate (plural forms etc.). When I get some time, I will file proper bugreports about them, unless someone wants to look at it before that :) Cheers, Colin

Win32 drag-to-border freeze bug
by Carl Hetherington 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

Hi, I had a play around with this bug today. I'll give some speculative thoughts in case they jog the brains of anyone else who has looked into it. I think it might be related to the fact that no LEAVE_NOTIFY (or whatever it is) is received when you move the pointer out of the window with a mouse button held down (ie in a drag). I think this might in turn be related to the fact that the masking of events is changed during drags. The particular bit I was playing with was dragging a rectangle to the edge of the window. This produces a "freeze" which I think is what people are seeing a lot (mouse pointer gets stuck on the `move' icon, no toolbar buttons or menus work). I then added the LEAVE_NOTIFY_MASK to the mask that is applied to events during a drag, and made the leave notification simulate a button release. This kind of fixed the problem, in that the freeze stops happening, but causes others. Anyway I'll take another look tomorrow and see if I can come up with a proper fix. If anyone has any thoughts I'd be interested. Cheers Carl
