view, hide dialogs
by David Christian Berg 09 Apr '04

Well, most of you will agree that inkscape should move into a direction where dialogs get smaller and less important, and that rather the secondary toolbar should be used instead. But since that is a long way, I suspect, how about an option to view/hide all _active_ dialogs. There should be an item for this in the menubar>view menu and I'd suggest that ctrl-tab does the same. I know this behaviour from indesign, but it's not that useful there, because it hides your toolbar aswell, which kinda sucks, because it's hard to keep on working. Anyway, what do you think about it?

spiral tool
by David Christian Berg 09 Apr '04

I'm not sure, if it is a bug, but is sure looks wrong! Take a look at the attached png and you'll know, what I'm talking about. This happens with a low divergence and the inner radius set to 0. I don't understand why the spiral would wind in with an angle of almost a 90°. David

Those rects were created in old versions. >This makes no sense and can deleted. >Also unused gradients etc. Yes. That might be a good project for someone to take on. However I think it needs to wait until we streamline CSS properties handling, otherwise it will be very hard to do cleanly. CSS support is currently a mess (as you could notice when doing the stringstream patches - there are way too many places where properties are built on the spot with ugly printfs, without much care about cascading, defaults, etc.) >Adib. >PS: I have no glue what this Path-cleanup is doing It removes empty subpaths AFAIK. Not too necessary, but let it remain until we have a more useful cleanup command. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN Premium.

unable to select a tool
by David Christian Berg 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

Not sure, what I did, and I haven't managed to reproduce that bug yet, but I opened the tips and tricks tutorial, went back to my document and was not able to select a tool anymore. I could select all the toolbuttons and have them all pressed at once, but there was no way to change the tool from caligraphic pen to anything else. also the dialogs would be behind my window. When I closed the tutorial, everything worked fine, but reopening it messed up things again. Restarting inkscape turned out to be a way to get rid of that problem. But as I said, I have not managed to reproduce it yet. David

0.38.1 release

Ted, I've fixed the two bugs and tagged 0.38.1 in CVS (RELEASE_0_38_1). Once at least bulia and bryce have signed off on it, I'd like you to proceed with the point release (assuming you don't find any showstoppers yourself). Thanks, -mental

I should have conditionalized its compilation as well as its actual usage in the code. Since it looks like we're doing an 0.38.1 release anyway (c.f. bulia's "oops"), I'll take the opportunity to fix this one properly now though. -mental

Must we call it 0.38.1, or just replace the old 0.38 with the new one? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium includes powerful parental controls and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

No support AFAIK. You need to create a separate path for each marker positioning it on the line. Bryce, can you please redo the tarball with the ps.cpp fix? _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

Printing markers
by Carl Hetherington 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Hi, My arrow head patch is working ok, but I now realise that markers don't currently print to PostScript. Any tips for how I should do this, before I blunder in on my own? I've got as far as needing to add stuff to sp_shape_print(), and needing to perform the correct transforms on the marker paths before printing them. Cheers Carl
