coding standards
by Jonathan Phillips 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

I say we lock-in our coding style standards over the next day or so. We have much to clean-up b4 a release date and some tasks are waiting for admin. decisions. TABS I say we lock-in at 4 spaces is a tab, and correct that in the files. GOOD? Please take some time to look at that coding standards document and help clean it up. If we lock-in our standards for the project now, then lotsa ppl can help clean-up the code, help document it, and then we can move forward with C++'ification even more.

Call for Screenshots on Different Platforms (WIN32 + OS X)
by Jonathan Phillips 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Hello all, I've added a section on the wiki about editing/changing the website at http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WebsiteEditing Could some of you with an OS X version and WIN32 version of Inkscape make some screenshots and put them up on the website. If it is too much of a hassle to deal with, then email me a link to your screenshot, but in the most GNU of ways, this is DIY. You can see the ones I've added already. Thanks, Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

a stealth delete again :(

The GTK color selector is gone :((( /* REJON: I'm commenting this fucker out because its too big on the screen when editing. It is especially bad on screens <= to 1024by768 */ As I wrote, the color wheel is way more usable than sliders for everyday work, and this selector should actually be made the default. If you think it's too big, let's discuss possible ways to improve that, instead of "treating headache with a guilliotine"! BTW, the HSV wheel selector is in the release notes already. If I didn't notice that removal, we could have a false statement in the release notes. So, Jon, I urge you to please restore this feature (unless you have more arguments against it, in which case please share them here). And ance again, a reminder for everyone: in addition to any possible discussions on jabber, PLEASE also post to the list before deleting any features. It's really annoying to discover such things by chance. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

time to focus on bugs
by bulia byak 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

I think it's high time to start the pre-release bug hunt. The number of open bugs is huge, and some of them are pretty nasty. Please everyone take time to review the list and fix/close whatever possible. Mental, I would be really grateful for your help with XML editor bugs (850971, 852619, 864791, 869683, 872277) and undo bugs (877238, 861462), plus the ruler bugs and action-per-view bugs assigned to you. Whenever you have time. (How was your job interview?) Also Mental, would you care to add a brief description on your recent URI changes to the release notes? There are also a few weird bugs that seem to display some deep problems with NR subsystem or some other geometry code: 879249 (really annoying, probably many other problems are caused by this), 871342, 871508, 859579. If someone with a better knowledge of NR could have a look that would be great. Jon, any progress with the non-ascii filenames? _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Not all preferences need to be in the dialog. Some may be only editable in the pref file. Or we can add an "advanced" tab later. >Besides being able to turn off the page outline (which I believe is >already a preference, No such preference AFAIK. Which is why I suggested to make the shadow size a pref - it would work both for on/off and for size. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Does that really stop us from e.g. fixing bugs? In any case, I don't have any strong feelings either way, so I will be fine with whatever you (i.e. those who do have strong feelings about this issue) decide. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

page shadow
by bulia byak 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Jon, I think it would be more convenient just to add a preferences value (e.g. options.pageshadow) for how large is the shadow, or no shadow if it is 0. Can you please do that? _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

My XEmacs inserts tabs for me, and I don't really want to learn reconfiguring it.

SVG Patterns
by Alan Horkan 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

You mentioned SVG patterns and that you were having difficulty finding programs that used them. Jasc Web Draw 1.0 for Windows also implements SVG Patterns. http://www.jasc.com/products/webdraw/ You can download a trial version from the Jasc website (or you can be a little bit sneakier and skip the registration process by going elsewhere ftp://ftp2.jasc.com/pub/ I think this the link for Web Draw ftp://ftp2.jasc.com/pub/wdw102ev.exe ) I've dumped a copy of the patterns.svg file in this folder http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~horkana/inkscape/jascwebdraw/ SVG Patterns http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~horkana/inkscape/jascwebdraw/patterns.svg Hope that is of use. Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/ PS this is a new post,sorry I couldn't maintain the thread

There's three types of <def> items - "document level", "application level", and "external". Document level def's are stored in the document itself; currently this is the only type supported. Application level def's are defaults that will be provided by Inkscape itself; these are copied into the document if used, and removed if any all referring objects are deleted. External def's are specified with URI's and are not copied into the document at all, but instead looked up and loaded in memory at runtime; a command would be provided to the user to flatten external def's into document level def's.
