directory reorg
by Jonathan Phillips 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hello all, I started the directory reorganization by first creating all the folder outlined in Bryce's document in the WIKI. Please pay attention to if I break anything in the next day or so while I incrementally move our directory structure over to the proposed, and watch the Changelog for changes, as that will tell my tale. Could someone pick up the task of the packaging reorganization, as I don't feel smart enough to do that one yet. thanks, jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

Packaging and new RPM's
by Peter Linnell 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi all, Build issues: 1. the default configure script builds both static and dynamic libraries. Any reason ? I did --static=no and cut the build time significantly. Unless explained otherwise, I see no need for static libs on FC/RH. 2. I'll gladly do the OSX dmg files, but want someone to test these before having them sent into the wild. Catch me on jabber or IRC if you can test. Hopefully, we will have SuSE9.0 RPMS before long. I've added Red Hat 9 rpms as well as the Fedora ones on sourceforge. Cheers, Peter

XMP support
by Jonathan Phillips 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Jon, I read through the XMP support package. I wonder if you are developing our XMP metadata support as a separate library, that others projects can use, like the SCRIBUS, GIMP, and sodipodi. If you haven't read all the XMP hype from Adobe, it is pretty cool overall. http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp I know that to develop support for it as a separate library is more work, but I really think that it is something that would benefit all these projects (but this is my hopeful thinking). reJon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

How to get Inkscape to produce <line> instead of <path>?
by Jason W May 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

When I draw a straight line in Inkscape, it generates a <path> element and never a <line>. If I import an existing SVG file with a <line>, edit and save, the <line> changes to <path>. Is it possible to have Inkscape output <line>? Should I care? Thanks, -Jason

Re: [Inkscape-devel] auto scrolling
by bulia byak 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

>It's a bit sudden, could you make it proportional to distance outside the >window? It _is_ proportional - the farther you go beyond the edge, the faster you scroll. However I now added a new option.autoscrollspeed: the value of 1 gives the current speed, 0 disables autoscrolling, a value between 0 and 1 gives a slowed-down autoscrolling. Everyone please experiment and report which value works best for you, I'll set it as the default. As for adding a delay, it's a bad idea from usability viewpoint. Anything that may make you wait is bad enough, and especially when you are doing something awkward or difficult, such as dragging. The response must be predictable and soft, but immediate. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

>Speaking of bugs and sodipodi, I noticed this bug was closed in sodipodi: > >http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=851467&group_id=93… AFAIK it was "fixed" wrongly there. They just added stroke-width to exported size, which will still leave the shape truncated in case of miter corners or in some other circumstances where a shape extends beyond its curve's bounding box. We have arrived at an understanding of what is necessary for properly fixing this (we need to query the renderer for the true bbox) but it's not yet coded. Does anyone think that porting the quick-and-dirty fix (adding stroke width) is worth its while? _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

[Fwd: Re: Inkscape 0.37 Released! Try it out!]

I think we really need to get OS X DMG files, or an installer for OS X releases. The majority of OS X folks do not understand ./configure;make;make install.

RE: [Inkscape-devel] Are these bugs?
by bulia byak 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

> > >http://www.charlietech.com/tmp/inkscape-oo-er.png I see. The reason for the difference is that the "Rect attributes" dialog shows you the raw SVG coordinates, while the top panel shows user corrdinates. The difference between them is typically a 0.8 multiplier (ask Mental about the origin of that multiplier, I'm not entirely sure) and the Y axis being turned upside down (for user, 0,0 is the lower left corner, but in SVG it's the top left corner). There were discussions about converging these two coordinate systems, but I'm not sure about the current status of that. In any case, the "object attributes" dialog is more of a debug tool, it's not really intended for end users. We will nuke it as soon as we have all of its functionality (and more) in the top panel. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoi…
