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…

>Thinking about it, this snippet of code would probably be best wrapped >as e.g. NRArenaItem *sp_item_get_arenaitem (SPItem *item, unsigned int >key). 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

Where exactly do they belong - src/libnrtype? What else needs to be added if we want the CVS to be compilable on win? Thanks, it would be really nice to have an up-to-date win build. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

"If you're looking for vector graphics software, you'll also come up empty handed. I do 99% of my layout work in Illustrator or Freehand and there is nothing even close on Linux. SodiPodi and a couple others may be contenders later on down the road, but right now they are far from being serious competitors to either Illustrator or Freehand." Read this article on differences between win, lin, osX and the big advantages of big apps. http://www.marcusvorwaller.com/weblog/archives/000011.html Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

keyboard shortcuts broken
by MenTaLguY 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

Please note that keyboard shortcuts are currently broken in CVS HEAD -- the keyboard shortcut code needs reworking. (SPActions are no longer global, so SPActions no longer work for holding global keybindings...) Anyway, I'll see about reworking this tonight. -mental
