gnome-print libnrtype removal
by MenTaLguY 23 May '04

23 May '04

Just a quick note that I'm removing the gnome-print libnrtype backend (both it an xft now get their fonts from fontconfig, IIRC). Theoretically, this should not impact printing with gnome-print. This should make less work for Pangoization, as well as remove another sizable piece of conditionally-compiled code. -mental

>1) More import plugins. This is a function of the program's visibility and perceived usefulness in the community. Plugins are more often created by contributors than by core developers. Help spread the word. >2) A progressbar while opening files. Please submit an RFE on that. >3) Speed up the file loading. This will hopefully come as a side effect of cleaning up and rearchitecturing the codebase which will make possible optimizations more obvious. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the MSN Premium and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Re: [Inkscape-devel] listed before sodipodi

>I'm a bit confused at Jimmac's comment, that, "I'm hoping to write a >simple functional spec for path editing, since at least Inkscape >developers seem to be interested in making their app be a graphic tool, >not an SVG editor aiming to implement all of the standard." My guess is that he is aware of our attempts to make Inkscape usable - that is reflected in the "making their app a graphic tool" part, because a graphic tool is what he's interested in too. But he's probably not too interested in SVG as such, and perhaps when he tried Sodipodi and found it unusable, he ascribed that to its intention to focus on SVG too much, instead of the real reason (the neglect of usability by the Sodipodi author). _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.

"save as copy" or "export"
by David Christian Berg 21 May '04

21 May '04

I'm not totally up to date with my cvs and not sure if it is worth compiling a new version of inkscape. But I was wondering, if there is "save as copy" menu item, just as in gimp. You know, when you want to create an ps, or eps, you do want to save the changes into the svg as well. You could also think about extending the functionality of the export dialog to handle the .ps .ai and .eps and what ever formats as well. What do you think about this? David -- Windows is not the answer. It's the quesition. The answer is "No!".

I think I know where this comes from but please submit this as a bug (attaching your screenshots) because I may not be able to fix it right now. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.
