saving views
by bulia byak 21 Dec '03

There's a sodipodi:namedview element in each SVG file saved, but it's empty. Is it right to assume that it was supposed to store the contents of the SPNamedView object of the document's desktop? If so, why it's empty - not implemented yet, or disabled? I propose to enable/implement it, and additionally, to extend SPNamedView with these fields: - zoom level and visible part of the canvas - window width/height and maximized status so that these settings could also be restored when the document is opened. Besides, the window size of the last closed document is saved into preferences, so the new empty document created next time will use them. (I'm so tired of the 400x400 default window!) Also, what about storing the absolute file name in SPDocument, as I proposed some time ago? Can anyone suggest a function for creating absolute name? _________________________________________________________________ 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…

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.

>But it's strange to have submenus with only 1 entry >like "Rect" > "Rect Properties". >"Shape" > "Fill Settings" gives you a dialog that is >not transient! 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.

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…

by bulia byak 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…

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
