News item about the new manual work?
by brynn 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hi Friends, As I'm writing up a quick draft to announce the upcoming hackfest, I suddenly wondered if it might be a good idea to write a short item about the recent new work on the new manual? I could do that, after I finish the hackfest article. I'm thinking Maren might be able to get all the details correct, the first time around? Although I don't mean to volunteer her. As I said, I could do it myself, if we decide to do it. I think it would help in community-building, to keep the wider community up to date about these things. What do other manual workers and Docs list subscribers think? All best, brynn

gcode tools support lacking
by brynn 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hi Friends, It's been well over a year since the team who created Inkscape's gcode tools, have answered requests for support in their forum, cnc-club (see link in Extensions menu > Gcodetools > About). There currently are not any users who participate in forums, who understand these tools who are apparently interested in helping. Is there anyone in the community who would be willing to be contacted (in lieu of regularly visiting forums) with questions about the gcode tools, when they come up (which is more and more lately)? Or does anyone know of any resources, such as tutorials? I only know of one...oh great, and I guess I've misplaced the link. But it's fairly limited. (I've even offered to write tutorials for the gcode tools, if the cnc-club forum would collaborate - no answer.) Personally, if the community can't provide support for our own tools, well.... I guess I'd have to start refering users elsewhere, for producing the gcode. Some have already started referring elsewhere (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32491) Of course I don't want to do that. But this is a frustrating. Can the development community provide any guidance? Thank you very much, brynn

Sorry, sent this directly to brynn by mistake. Forwarding to the list, read below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "C R" <cajhne@...400...> Date: 6 Jun 2017 1:15 p.m. Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Fwd: Re: last used style #2 To: "brynn" <brynn@...3133...> Cc: > The workflow is draw first, style second.

So when you're making > changes, please make it optional, so that those who prefer the "old" way, > can continue without altering their personal routines.) The new way will not affect the old way of doing it if you like that better. The idea is that the user should be able, at any point to select a fill and stroke, and have the next thing drawn be that colour. This will not change if you want to select a different colour after you draw - newly drawn/selected items will still be filled with the colours chosen by the user for stroke and fill after they are drawn.selected in the same manner as it does now. The changes add the ability to use the Lower-Left stroke and fill widget as a master widget for colour, so you don't have to set the fill/stroke colour in the tool dialog (upper-left) - which most users seem to miss anyway. One colour widget to rule them all, one to find them, one to bring them all, and in the Inkscape bind them. -C > > So draw a rectangle. Yikes, nothing's there. I can see the dotted > lines and arrows (i.e. bounding box and selection handles), but my rectangle > isn't there. Yes, this is why it's nice to set the draw colour/fill before the rectangle is drawn. > Why isn't it there? Because the last time you drew a rectangle, > eventually you made it completely transparent. Now, every rectangle you > draw will be transparent, until you change it. Oh, you changed it to blue? > Now every rectangle will be blue, until you change one. If the user has chosen to draw blue rectangles, reverting to some other default colour doesn't make a lot of sense. In most drawing programs, the "current colour" (the one shown in the colour widget) is what the drawn shape will be. I draw a line - I make it red. I draw another line... but it's reverted back to the default line colour... I'm wanting to draw red lines, that's why I went through the trouble of changing the colour. I have to change it every single time = big big waste of time. To get around this, as others have noted, the workflow is draw a bunch of lines, select them all, then paste style. Yea... it's not great. It's what people are complaining about. This is why it's simpler to have one widget to control colour. Currently the user has to look all over to see where to change the default colour, and are baffled when the colour changes back to the default colour when they draw a new shape. > As I said before, it's easily the most asked question, both in forums > and LP Answers. And in my opinion, well, a ridiculous feature. Simplifying the interface into a single colour widget will help, also if the user changes things outside this colour widget, new objects should not retain the transparency settings. - This more than anything causes confusion. A distinction needs to be made between object transparency and fill alpha colour. Object transparency, controlled by the slider in the stroke/fill dialog should not affect the current colour (and thus not the affect the colour/transparency of newly drawn items). - This, more often than not is what causes completely invisible objects, and it's a pain for the user to try and figure out which settings are causing the object to be transparent. It's a difficult problem, but with your help, I'm sure we can come up with a solution that works better for everyone. > Most > newbies pick up Inkscape, and they're happily clicking away, not thinking > about anything, but marvelling over the awesome program.

We are on the same page here. > What's the solution? Explain to everyone how to change the style > settings for all their tools. This implies there is some means of forcing people to read tutorials. The "happily clicking away" thing is what needs to continue. The tool configuration landmines are what need to be replaced - an easy way to do that is to re-think how transparency and colour are applied, and provide a more intuitive and simpler interface that doesn't have vanishing bits. I believe we collectively can do this without adding a bottleneck to anyones workflow, and removing the substantial ones that we all have just gotten used to living with because that's how it's always been. :) > Anyway, I'm rather shocked that the mailing list crowd doesn't > understand what the problem is. I guess it underscores once again how far > removed many developers are, from the user community. Many people in this thread use Inkscape professionally, myself included (every working day, for a professional portfolio you wouldn't even believe was made in FLOSS). So let's not go the us vs. them route. There is no "them", only us. Let's try and find a solution that works for everyone. > Would it be such a hard thing to do, to make the default doc have all > the tools set for "own style"? I think for some tools this makes sense, but only if "own style" is replaced by "last used" style for that tool. If I am adding text to a doc, I don't want to have to change the colour from some default value every time I add more text. If I'm drawing shapes, I expect that Inkscape will preserve the colour I've chosen, not change it back to some default value until I tell it to change the colour. If I'm drawing lines, I'd like the same as for shapes, though often the fill gets in the way. It's not that big a deal to change the fill to transparent, but maybe a good solution is to change the fill to none by default, then add fill colour if the line becomes a closed shape. This is not a simple problem, and understanding all the implications is half the battle. Let's continue to work on it together. -C > Thanks again, > brynn > > -----Original Message----- From: C R > Sent: Sunday, June 04, 2017 2:12 PM > To: brynn > Cc: Inkscape-Devel ; J. F.

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[]

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.
