non-ASCII chars
by bulia byak 09 Dec '03

09 Dec '03

I have merged the interesting parts of 0.33's sp-text.c and text-context.c, but this did not help with the cyrillic chars being untypeable. I started to dig into this specifically and now I have a strong suspicion that the culprit is the inkscape's change from guchar to gchar in functions that insert new chars into the string as they are typed. I cannot test it quickly because it requires changing in lots of places (and they cannot be simply cast, at least not with g++), but this seems likely. For example sp_text_insert used to receive the char to insert as a guchar, but now it gets gchar. As it is supposed to be in UTF8, perhaps the encoding goes wrong and the result is the space characters in the string (or at least something that looks like spaces). So: - Does anyone else think that guchar/gchar replacement could break this? - Why was this replacement necessary in the first place? - Is it OK if I reverse it in the text code? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Okay, unlimited undo is now in CVS. It's always kind of cool when you add a new feature by _deleting_ code. ^_^ -mental

button.c again

So what's the resolution with button.c? I still cannot compile it, now with one more error: button.c:62: error: invalid conversion from `void (*)(SPAction*, int, void*)' to `void (*)(SPAction*, unsigned int, void*)' button.c: In function `void sp_button_toggle_set_down(SPButton*, int)': button.c:189: error: invalid conversion from `void (*)()' to `void*' button.c:191: error: invalid conversion from `void (*)()' to `void*' _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Though it's been ages since >I've done MSVC stuff here, I have worked in i18n on and off for the past 10 >years. That would be fantastic! This is an important issue, as it makes the program almost useless unless you only do English-language art. We must get it right. Fortunately, it may be that the Unicode fonts stuff is not relevant to the issue. This is because I can actually type cyrillic (or paste fancy chars from other programs) into the text dialog, and when applied, it is properly displayed on the canvas. This may mean that only the text tool is somehow broken, but font display works right. I will look into it but I would welcome anyone's help too. I've filed a detailed bug so we don't forget about this: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=856528&group_id=9… It would be very nice to have this fixed before the release. _________________________________________________________________ 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…

reduce, reuse, recycle
by Jonathan Phillips 09 Dec '03

In terms of getting ready for the 0.36 release of Inkscape, what do you all think about commenting out a few unimplemented features. IMO I think we should comment out: print preview (in the file menu) about modules (in the help menu) No use in confusing the new users. Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...15...>

The comment was in the GTKRuler entry in the GTK documentation: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkRuler.html "NOTE this widget is considered too specialized/little-used for GTK+, and will in the future be moved to some other package. If your application needs this widget, feel free to use it, as the widget does work and is useful in some applications; it's just not of general interest. However, we are not accepting new features for the widget, and it will eventually move out of the GTK+ distribution." > - Alan -- Michael D.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] button size
by bulia byak 08 Dec '03

08 Dec '03

> See what y'all think... I think the size contrast may be a bit more pronounced. However, making secondary buttons smaller is bad, they're hardly visible already. Especially the raise/lower buttons are hard to decipher, they're too complex and dark, perhaps someone will have to redraw them eventually. The main toolbar buttons may be made a bit larger, IMHO. Also, can we rearrange the toolbars so that the corner is occupied by the secondary toolbar, not the primary? Rationale: secondary toolbar may ultimately need lots of space for all its controls, so every pixel counts. The primary, on the other hand, is unlikely to grow significantly. And if you do that, can you provide a bit of separation between the toolbars by moving the primary one to the bottom a little? Ultimately I would like to see in that interval a "handle" that will let me drag the toolbar e.g. to the right edge or make it floatable, but until then, let it be just a few pixels of empty space. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

Inkscape 0.36-pre1
by Ted Gould 08 Dec '03

08 Dec '03

There are files on Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 This is aimed at being an incremental build up to the final release. All of the bugs that are in the roadmap are currently fixed, with some more in the tracker. If anyone has any bugs that restrict Inkscape from being usable - this is a good time to bring them up. Also, there is work on the release notes for 0.36. The last ones weren't very good, so this time we're planning ahead so they are reasonable. If you have contributed code or bug fixes or anything to Inkscape between 0.35 and 0.36 make sure your contribution is in the Release notes. We don't want anyone's contributions to be left out. Wiki page: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes I'm very excited about the 0.36 release - I hope everyone gets a chance to try this build out so that we can make it even better. --Ted
