Rebuild means clean+build in my toolchain might be a little blind. Hope cmake build cycle improves with time...

Introduction

01 Mar '17

Hi, I am Deepti Sharma pursuing Bachelors of Technology (B.Tech) 3rd year in CS. I love to pick challenges and this is an opportunity for me to indulge in open source community. I have worked with some of the open source communities during the time of GCI and it was a great experience for me. I have used Inkscape in past for simple graphics and now I am putting my hands into it again. I am extending my knowledge by reading about capabilities of Inkscape. Soon I will post some of the graphics I have made using Inkscape. -- Regards Deepti Sharma Blog: https://deepti96.wordpress.com/ Github: https://github.com/dsdeeptisharma Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/u/dsdeepti "Great works are not performed by strength but by perseverance"

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Roadmap for Inkscape 0.93 on Windows - GTK3, devlibs, MSYS2 and support for Windows XP
by C R 27 Feb '17

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
