May I suggest migrating to Ubuntu? You may actually have some luck running those older programs in WINE. Just a thought. :) Dosbox still runs my very first Pascal programs! You may also find good open source replacements for your old software too, and probably for free! Sorry to hear about your troubles with Windows 10. If you must have Windows, maybe win 7 would be better at this point. You could also try running XP in a VM in Ubuntu, then you could have your cake and eat it too. :) -C On 27 Feb 2017 11:20 a.m., "alvinpenner" <penner@...1856...> wrote: >> If they are still on XP, they can still use older builds of Inkscape. People stuck on XP must surely be used to new software not working on their old deprecated OS by now. Actually in my experience the situation is the exact opposite. Windows 10 has not offered me access to any new software that is of any interest to me. Instead it has forced me to abandon two old, legacy, pieces of software that I had used daily for about 15 years on XP, and now can no longer use because they are 16 bit software. So the switch to Windows 10 has been a significant step backwards in terms of functionality and in terms of user-friendliness. Windows 10 is incredibly unfriendly when it comes to simple things like copying files, and it is full of bugs and glitches. I upgraded to Windows 10 because I was literally forced to do so, not because I wanted to, and certainly not because it offered me anything that I was actually interested in.

Nondestructive booleans
by Miguel Lopez 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

I'm not a expert in earlier Inkscape version as I have no experience in those, but I have heard about earlier Inkscape supporting nondestructive booleans. Did it? Is there anybody looking to restore this? I would find it interesting because that opens up to a lot more possibilities in SVG editing. What about earlier features that some Inkscape users use, but they aren't found in Inkscape .92.

Hi Rohit, welcome :) I'm not sure if maybe you've already received a reply via other channels, but just in case you haven't, I'm forwarding your message to the developers' mailing list, and will try to give some small kind of reply. A good (and only recently updated) source for getting started with Inkscape's website development is http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite The bug reports for the website currently live on launchpad [1] and on gitlab in parallel. If you haven't yet, and Bryce or Martin haven't already given you another 'starter task' or have one in mind, you could browse around and look if one of them catches your interest. @Bryce or Martin, I think you've both volunteered to be a GSOC mentor, maybe you already have some task in mind for GSOC students pre-application phase?

What are your development plans for 0.93?
by Bryce Harrington 25 Feb '17

25 Feb '17

I've marked off the 0.92 items that were done from the Roadmap. A few things weren't finished and I've bumped them forward to 0.93. Some stuff I'm not certain of; if anyone else knows please update accordingly. The 0.93 list of objectives looks more ambitious than I suspect the project can achieve within the coming year, and should be realigned to better forecast what's likely to be done. A few items from the 0.93 roadmap are already under way: * Gtk3 & drop Gtk2 * Git & drop bzr * CMake & drop autotools/btools/etc. * C++11 compiler hard requirement I think we could safely add: * OS X native packaging What else could be considered to be added? These I'm not so sure about, and might be candidates to postpone, if no one is looking at working on them presently: * Flip y-cooridinate to match SVG * Dependency reorg * Unit test framework and major test case expansion * Windows uninstaller * New Swatch dialog Thoughts on the above? Or any other Roadmap modifications that should be discussed? Bryce

Fwd: What are your development plans for 0.93?
by Vladimir Savic 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

After using that patch for all my work for about a month, there are some things I have to add. It improves Inkscape a lot, A LOOOT, I mean! Yale has already stated where it fails to deliver improvements (high zoom level of blur), but there is no way to improve that with vectorization anyway. The only bug I've seen on my system is that color related operations sometimes get messed up. For example color picker picks wrong color from canvas and imported bitmap's colors are wrong sometimes, but not always. I can investigate that further for you, Yale. Although, no idea if that has anything to do with your work only or it is your improvement interfering with ongoing inclusion of Styles dialog. Yale, we should definitively make a small and amateurish video presentation. ;) Vlada P.S. I've sent this mail accidentally to Jabier only. Sorry about it. Forwarded to list...

Inkscape 0.92 review in German
by "Christoph Schäfer" 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi guys, I've published a review of Inkscape 0.92 in the Swiss "Publisher" magazine (http://publisher.ch/fachzeitschrift_detail.php?t=Zwischen%2Ballen%2BSt%25C3…). While I did my best to highlight the major improvements, the overall judgement was: "half-baked" and largely negative. I'm sorry for that, but I hope you get your act together soon. And please add adequate PDF export for print workflows and also make sure that Inkscape SVGs can be used and displayed universally. This is more important than new design features, because Inkscape is already one of the most feature-rich vector programmes. Best, Christoph

Wiki bug template

Hi All, I've added a new template to the wiki for linking to Launchpad bugs. See: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Template:Bug Basically, you can just do something like: {{bug | id = 123456 | status = triaged}} to generate a color-coded link to the relevant Launchpad page. AV

Hi, Which Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is most suitable in Windows operating systems for Inkscape from following: 1) Eclipse Name: (ie. Neon) Version: ? 2) Microsoft Visual Studio with VisualGDB Version: ?2) Microsoft Visual Studio with WinGDB Version: ? Please guide me..1) How to decrease compilation time? 2) Is there any automated Tools? which is most suitable? Please give detail steps to configuring development environment in windows for coding and debugging. Note: I have already generated Executable using following commands: >cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. & >mingw32-make -j 2>mingw32-make install but which IDE is most suitable for Inkscape. Thank you, Niraj Dave

Inkscape 0.92.1pre1 macOS test build
by Tim Sheridan 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi all, I've been working on getting the macOS packaging for the 0.92.x working again. The branch is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~tghs/inkscape/0.92.x_mac_packaging I've put a 10.7/i386 test build up for people to try at: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/10660/Inkscape-0.92.1pre1-tghs_0-x11-1… Build info is on the file information page: https://inkscape.org/en/~tghs/★inkscape-0921pre1-tghs_0-x11-107-i386dmg As with the old official 0.91 release, this is an X11 build so you'll need XQuartz installed. Since it's not yet merged, please report any issues encountered in this thread, or to me directly. Known issues: * App not signed (probably wontfix for 0.92 as users put up with it for 0.91, but worth looking at for 0.93) * Built without poppler (need to check whether old releases included it) * Toolbar icons getting cropped slightly on the edges (not a blocker IMO, but would be nice to fix) Cheers, Tim
