It'll certainly help to have cvs access. Done. Welcome to the team :) Small tweaks can be "patched first, discussed later." Larger things may benefit from discussing first, either on the list or on a Wiki page (by the way, there are several UI tasks planned on Wiki that you might help with). Also there are several useful tutorials for developers on the Wiki. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

RE: [Inkscape-devel] First impression, context menu, curve editing

It would be better to have access to >"Fill and Stroke" here (transient!). Of course, it's simply that we haven't yet worked on that. The context menu needs a complete overhaul, and those small leftover dialogs will be eliminated and replaced with standard ones. >It would be great to have a special context menu >for nodes (right-click over a node), containing >"Delete", "Break apart" and a way to change the >number of bezier handles (0,1,2).

Good idea, I'll see if what can be done. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

export patches

Hi, I committed your three patches, thanks a lot. I meant to do something along these lines myself, but it's nice to be helped :) Are you interested in doing more Inkscape development? If so I could put you on the developers list so you could access CVS directly. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

node edit: new modifiers
by bulia byak 20 Dec '03

20 Dec '03

When moving node(s): * Ctrl + drag nodes: restrict movement to horizontal or vertical * Ctrl + Alt + drag nodes: restrict movement to the directions of the control handles and their perpendiculars When moving a control handle of a node: * Ctrl + drag: snap the handle's angle to 15 degrees steps plus the original angle and its perpendiculars * Shift + drag: rotate the other handle by the same angle * Alt + drag: lock the length of the handle Note: Ctrl, Shift, Alt can be combined when dragging handles. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

RE: [Inkscape-devel] shift+click to select broken

Done, I put it into sp-item.cpp and changed document.cpp to use it. Please test now. It seems to work correctly with multiple views. Thanks for your guidance. Without you on guard, I'd never have ventured into the scary Inkscape innards :) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Or am I doing something wrong? No, use child->display->key ... or, actually, since as I said child->display is the head of a linked list: SPItemView *iv; NRArenaItem *arenaitem; arenaitem = NULL; for ( iv = child->display ; iv ; iv = iv->next ) { if ( iv->key == dkey ) { arenaitem = iv->arenaitem; break; } } .. then use arenaitem as appropriate. (dkey being the dkey you got from the SPDesktop, of course) -mental

I think it's SPDesktop::drawing, not SPDesktop::acetate; sorry... But use the dkey method anyhow -- that's the "correct" way. -mental

It just used bounding box, so objects with holes etc. were treated as opaque rectangles. Now a much better solution is checked in. I had to dig into the arena code (something I was trying to avoid) but I think I succeeded. Please test now. Here's what I did: in document.cpp, a new function sp_document_item_at_point() was added, to complement items_in_box and partial_items_in_box. It calls nr_arena_item_invoke_pick() on all items to find those that are pickable at the given point, and returns the topmost of them. Now select-context.cpp simply uses sp_document_item_at_point() in its root_handler when shift-clicked and does selection toggle. This means we can do without the item that was passed on from the arena code - if we have mouse coordinates, we can always find out the item under mouse. This was necessary in this case because I do shift-rubberband in root_handler, and I must process shift-click in it too, and root_handler does not get an item as an argument. The same approach can be used for ctrl-clicking to select within group. Mental, if you think this approach is acceptable, I'll go on and try to implement ctrl-click. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

shortcut regressions

Okay, I've fixed the most glaring shortcut key regressions. Still to fix: * shortcut hints should update when shortcut binding is changed * SPButton tooltips should show shortcut hint -mental
