Sigc++ and GtkMM
by Bob Jamison 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

While trying to compile a test class with GtkMM2.4, I noticed that configure.in tests for GtkMM2.4, but not for SigC++2.0, which is its dependency. I modified the test to allow both or neither. However, after noticing a lot of Sigc1.2-dependent code in our source, I commented the tests out altogether. Since GtkMM is still "new development", should be not go with 2.4, and avoid a later upgrade? Swallow the pill now, rather than later? Just wondering. :) Bob

Installing Inkscape on a Win machine
by David Christian Berg 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

Hi guys, since I'm working with Linux, I'll never have to personally, but inkscape has become my favorite graphics tool, and I need to share files with win users. Now since svg isn't supported that much, I thought, the easiest solution might be to just have the win users install inkscape... how hard is this? I mean including installing gtk. I hope this is real simple and you can point me at some howto. Also I wonder if there'll be work done on the ps export soon. Though I really am looking forward to pangoisation being finished, I really need a proper export of transparency for ps, to make pdfs for sharing, instead of pngs, since pngs are huge, for A3 or A4 posters since I need at least 300 dpi. Any chances, I will see something like that soon? David PS: The Scribus import filter isn't good enough for my posters... so using Scribus for export is ruled out. -- Otto von Bismarck once remarked: “A fool learns from his experience. A wise person learns from the experience of others.” If so, how to define President George W. Bush, who is not even able to learn from his own experience?

behaviour

Hello everyone, I am having big slowdowns when editing and zooming an svg I create from zero, using inkscape 0.38. Moving the canvas is slow. Zooming in or out is really slow. Selecting nodes is very very slow, and it takes time for inkscape to reflect the changes. It has gradients with more than two stops. In a last editing also some elements or atributes has disappeared, lucky I saved a copy before further editing. It happened when I delete a colour from a 4 colours gradient. The three version I had has grown in size dramatically though i didn't add many elements more: lives.svg=13k lives2.svg=28,8k (this is the version that lost stuff) lives3.svg=48k Should you follow my case for bughunting or do you think it's been solved in the cvs version? just to let you know: Néstor ps: I can send the svgs.

Just build the newest public cvs... letterspacing is 0 by default. That sucks, since text is unusable this way... Guess that's a real tiny bug.

ANNOUNCE: SVG::Metadata
by Bryce Harrington 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

I've completed writing some code for processing collections of SVG files to validate their metadata (title, author, license). The code is packaged and released to CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~bryce/SVG-Metadata-0.01/ It includes the following: SVG::Metadata - A module for parsing and accessing an SVG's metadata, including title, author, license, and keywords. svg_validate - A script for scanning through a collection of SVG files and extracting ones with valid metadata. It also automatically generates png's for each (using inkscape) and metadata text files. Bryce

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Double meaning for Ctrl+U

>I dont quite understand how you would need to manually switch to Unicode >instead of the change happening automatically if the input is Unicode (or >even Inkscape being Unicode by default). You dont mean switching to a >differnt Input Method (Cyrillic/Asian Languages/etc) do you? No. If you can type your non-ascii chars direct from keyboard, that's fine, it will work. But if you cannnot, use the Unicode mode to type the codes of the characters you need. Usually it's used for special typographic chars such as em-dash. >It might be a problem if you later want to allow Underlined text which >normally uses Ctrl+U in text mode. Yes. When we get there we'll think of something :) >Back to the general Inkscape interface, I should also mention that many >users are familiar with Mozilla using Ctrl+U for View Source, so it might >be an improvement to bind Ctrl+U to the XML editor, so it might still be >worth changing ungroup to ctrl+shift+g Again, no need to change. Ctrl+Shift+G works for ungrouping already. _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…
