win build + tablet
by bulia byak 18 Jan '04

Bob, I tested your latest Windows builds on a win98 system with a Wacom tablet. Unfortunately it's almost unusable because it responds to perhaps 1/4 of all button_press and button_release events. Pressing harder does not help. Other Windows programs and all Linux programs on the same computer work fine. I suspect it's a GTK port problem, so my question is: do you know any other GTK program ported to Windows with the same libraries as you use, so I could test it and compare? _________________________________________________________________ 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…

Seems to work OK. Looked in the XML >and didn't see any phantoms. Thank you, that works well. Although I would prefer the node tool to still be able to handle one-node path, and only delete it when you switch away from the node tool. So that e.g. I can leave one node and "draw" from it by pressing shift-d and arrow keys repeatedly. But perhaps it's not worth the extra trouble, and at least it's safer as you implemented it. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

>>Still segfaults for one-node path: >Got that one, too. The segfault is fixed, but it still leaves a ghost path with empty d="" attribute which is impossible to delete except in the XML editor. Could you please change it so that if a single node remains, the path object is deleted when you switch away from node tool? This is consistent because if you delete all nodes but one in a subpath, then on the next entry into node tool, that subpath is gone. So I think we should do the same for the entire path, too. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

MAX_PATH not safe
by Jon A. Cruz 17 Jan '04

17 Jan '04

Uh oh. Using MAX_PATH as an absolute turns out not to be safe. WINE's docs have this to say in regards to CreateFile > Windows NT: You can use paths longer than MAX_PATH characters by > calling the wide (W) version of CreateFile and prepending “\\?\” to > the path. The “\\?\” tells the function to turn off path parsing. This > lets you use paths that are nearly 32,000 Unicode characters long. You > must use fully-qualified paths with this technique. This also works > with UNC names. The “\\?\” is ignored as part of the path. IIRC, we have at least a few fixed buffers with MAX_PATH. 256 is a bit shy of 32767. =-O

Still segfaults for one-node path: - create a path - f2 - select all nodes but one - del - f1 - f2 crash. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

>- create a path > >- f2 > >- select all nodes > >- del > > >This creates a segfault, (apparently) because the nodepath was being >destroyed more than once. I remember doing exactly that, and it did not segfault, after I added the delete_selection. In fact that was _why_ I added delete_selection - previously this operation left a ghost path with no nodes which was impossible to pick or delete. So the segfault problem may have appeared more recently and not in my code (although I am not 100% sure). _________________________________________________________________ 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…

your nodepath changes
by bulia byak 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

Bob, I think your latest changes may result in invalid SVG (which is why I inserted nodepath_destroy and delete_selection in the first place). E.g.: - create a path - f2 - select all nodes but one - del - f1 The statusbar says "Path (0 nodes)", and in XML editor, you will see a <path> with an empty d= attribute. I believe this is invalid SVG, and in any case it's better to avoid such situations. Which is why I added deleting a nodepath which has only one node left. Please fix this somehow. Also, your new command "split path between nodes" gives too generic statusbar error messages. It only works for two adjacent nodes none of which is an end node of a subpath, but when some of these requirements is not met it simply says "You must select two nodes on a path". Please provide more specific diagnostics for non-adjacent nodes, end nodes, more than two nodes, etc. It might be useful to generalize this command so it would work on any number of adjacent nodes by first deleting all middle nodes and then removing the segment between the remaining two selected nodes. Your tooltip says "Split a path..." - first, it should be simply "Split path"; second, all other tooltips for node tool refer to "lines" but I believe "path" is better, so could you please edit other tooltips too, replacing "lines" by "paths"? _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP 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…
