So, please try to tweak what you can, but it may well be unfixable with the current versions of GTK or KDE.

Maybe. I'll try to investigate.

fullscreen rocks
by Jonathan Phillips 31 Jan '04

Fullscreen rocks! I think we should add a toggle switch to the bottom of the doc. window next to the zoom toggle, possibly to the left of it. When you get into hardcore design work, it is good to have a switch to that. Great WORK jceuppan...did we give him dev. access yet? jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

>my attempt is in cvs under doc/default.svg. I'd be most grateful if >someone with some time and skill could polish it up. Good idea, it should be added to the Help menu when it's ready (it's even simpler than adding a keyboard shortcuts page - no need to run a browser). Start it with how to scroll/zoom around and how to select things. Then, creating basic shapes; transforms with selector; changing fill and stroke; opening/saving; node tool; text tool; etc. The order is approximate, of course. >It would also be good to work out how to make the tutorial start at a >reasonable size, near the top. Just save it, and next time it will come up with this zoom/view/window size. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

30 Jan '04

Hey there, The fifth annual GNOME conference, GUADEC [GNOME Users and Developers European Conference], will be held in Kristiansand 28-30.June, 2004. We need a logo for the event. Ideally we are looking for a logo including the GNOME footage with a local Norwegian touch. If you are interested in helping out please send your proposal to guadec-planning@...45... as soon as possible. The logo will be used for promotion, on website, t-shirts etc.. Since the logo will be used on material of many different sizes, proposals should be in a vector format if possible. All proposals will be on display on the website of the conference. Many thanks, The GVADEC V Team You can check out some more information on the GUADEC website at http://2004.guadec.org/

banner printing
by Robert Crosbie 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Hi all, I have a 8.25 x 40" svg graphic that I want to print as a template for a scrollsaw project. I'd like to try and print it out on 8.5x14 paper which I can then tape together for my template. Is there any way to do this using inkscape or some other means under Linux. I have to admint, I'm not familiar with inkscapes printing mechanism because I always export my images to bitmaps and use gimp for final manipulations before printing. Thanks, Rob. http://members.rogers.com/rcrosbie _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

I checked in the Tutorial command in the Help menu. It simply opens tutorial.svg from INKSCAPE_PIXMAPDIR, where it is put by "make install" from icons/. Feel free to change the directory structure; I don't know hot to properly modify makefiles, so I just listed tutorial.svg next to about.svg in icons/makefile.am and it seems to work. Win32 build files may need updating, too. The tutorial is very preliminary, but I think I will finish it before the release. Suggestions welcome. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Update on Inkscape release plan
by Bryce Harrington 30 Jan '04

It sounds like there's a desire to push the release back a week, due mainly to concerns about mail trouble from the virus. Bryce

What's wrong with the list? I don't see any mail in it since yesterday. >The idea was to have inkscape check for ~/.inkscape/default.svg and open >that for "run without any parameters", and if ~/.inkscape/default.svg >were missing, to use the system wide default.svg given in >doc/default.svg. This gives us the ability for users to start with >their prefered document options (such as page size, colour, etc). The >tutorial should explain how this works so that the user can change the >default easily (checkbox in save?). We almost have it already. It now works via the default namedview template in preferences.xml. It allows you to set paper size, color, border width & shadow, grid and guide options, plus zoom and center of view. As for easy setting, I think now the best approach is to add a "save as template" button in the Document Options doalog, now that I've collected all document options into one dialog. Ultimately, we'll need a support for multiple external templates and a "new for template" option, but for now the template in preferences.xml is good enough I think. >I'm suggesting we try and get this in for this release, particularly if >someone can work on the tutorial to explain some of the features that >people tend to miss when they first try out inkscape(knots, offsets, >printing to .ps). I'm writing to you because you would be the best >person to implement the logic for this (I think?). So the logic is mostly there, except for the button, which should not be difficult to add. But you can edit your template in preferences already, and it may make sense to mention this in docs somewhere... but on the other hand, keyboard shortcuts are more important, and we still don't have them in the Help menu. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…
