Obviously, we will >add back in once the custom gtk color wheel is finished. Disagree, as I wrote just a few days ago. I use it all the time. Do not remove unless you have a fully functional replacement. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

win32 icon problem
by bulia byak 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Bob, in Inkscape0401280318.zip there's some problem with icons: they are all different from Linux version and often disappear (leaving black squares). Maybe something related to the recent glade/icons rename? Could you please have a look? _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

filters menu
by MenTaLguY 28 Jan '04

Would anyone object if we removed the (mostly non-functional) Filters menu for the release? (When we bring it back, we'll need to call it something else anyway -- we plan on implementing SVG Filters eventually, and those are a totally different thing) -mental

Oh, that one I know - thanks for keeping it up, it's really interesting. But the comparison to Sodipodi is more thrilling :) We must beat SP 0.33 downloads. We have everything needed for that. I think we lagged behind with 0.36 simply because the Windows build was not ready in time, and Windows downloads are massive. Now we must push our no-hassle Windows builds more aggressivly. >Also, I suspect when we move CVS off of SourceForge it will reduce our >SF rank subsequent to that. Not really - I read that they are not counting CVS activity due to some issue. What can probably affect our rank is our posting the release news via the news tracker (this wasn't done for the last release). _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

code cleanup
by Jonathan Phillips 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Also, after doing this conversion from glade -> icons, it is actually a really good idea to document your code cleanup performaed to each file. Don't forget (I think I'm reminding myself). Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

glade naming changed to icons
by Jonathan Phillips 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hello all, I'm changing globally all references to glade, except in the logs of course. I'm about to commit my changes, and am adding a big Changelog of every file touched so that you can complain to me if something is wrong and we can track it down without a rollback. Thanks, Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

RE: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape on Windows

>I have GTK 2.2.4-2 (from the Gimp web site) installed, which is the >official version for Windows. However, when I try to install Inkscape, it >quits the installer, asking me to install GTK2. Are you using 0.36 installer? If so wait for 0.37, or grab a recent build here: http://troi.lincom-asg.com/~rjamison/inkscape/ These new builds do not require any external libraries. Just unzip and run. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

RE: [Inkscape-devel] transforms

>HOWEVER, please do not take the "auto-flattening" transforms behavior any >further -- particularly, don't apply group transformations to group >members instead. That way lies madness and severe numerical problems >(errors will accumulate rapidly over time). Think what will happen when we use groups as layers, and what is happening already now that it's possible to select within group. For example: - group some objetcs - move and scale the group - select an object within group - copy - paste The transformation is lost. Also see this bug: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=867521&group_id=9… How do you propose to solve these problems without propagating transforms within groups? Especially given that groups may nest arbitrarily deep? >Also bear in mind the expectations of users who use Inkscape to make >trivial edits to existing (possibly hand-structured) SVG files. They will be able to work in the global "preserve" mode. >I would prefer instead that transforms were _never_ flattened unless >explicitly requested. That's what "preserve" mode is for. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

>1. First, there are a couple last code cleanup tasks that remain: We > need to remove the #if 0 code, and we need volunteers for that. I would prefer that this not be done in a hurry. You must thoroughly understand the piece of code before removing anything, because it may be actually very helpful. Just recently there were several occasions where I reused the old #if0 code, revising and upgrading it, as I was hacking the corresponding files. Without those #if0, my work would probably have been more difficult. So I propose to not try to do all of this for the release, but instead keep doing it as we go - once some part of code is significantly touched by someone, remind him/her to clean up dead code there. >4. Lastly is to get word out about this release. We have tasks > identified in the roadmap for doing this. A suitable goal would be > to match the Sodipodi 0.32 page view and download numbers. Can you please post these numbers, just out of curiosity? As well as probably SP 0.33 numbers and our 0.36 numbers? That would give us a sense of competition, which is always good :) _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
