menu layout - small suggestion
by Yemu 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

i've just tried BORKEN branch and i like it a lot. i have a small idea though: i think that first menu item called "Inkscape" now, should be renamed to "About" and moved to the right end of the menu bar. cause in most applications "File" is always the first menu item, and this is what users are used to (me too :-) thanks to all developers for great improvements! when do you plan 0.36? best regards yemu

[ 845018 ] save crash
by Robert Crosbie 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

Here's a patch to fix the save crash bug. It appears the wrong variable was being passed when the type was autodetect. There are still a few problems with saving/opening files, but at least it doesn't crash. - autodetect fails if no extension is added to filename (.svg) - on quit, still says I have unsaved changes, even though I saved - can't open compressed svg unless it has .svgz extension. cvs won't let me commit and gives me this error: cvs server: sticky tag `1.4' for file `system.c' is not a branch cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first! Index: src/modules/system.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/inkscape/inkscape/src/modules/system.c,v retrieving revision 1.2 diff -r1.2 system.c 172c172 < sp_module_db_foreach(save_internal, (gpointer)&omod); --- > sp_module_db_foreach(save_internal, (gpointer)&parray); Rob. http://members.rogers.com/rcrosbie _________________________________________________________________ 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…

Re: the GUI changes on the BORKEN tag

I checked it out, built it (with no problems), and gave it a try. I really like it a lot. The original layout might be familiar to users who also use the Gimp, but I think this would be more amenable to desktop artists. IMHO, if this breaks nothing, it would be well to mainline this branch. Good job. Bob

cvs snapshots

I've created a /cvs-snap directory off the main website. There is an update.sh script (that needs execute bits...) in inkscape_project/tarball/update.sh. Can this get added to the crontab after the doxygen run? And if people like the results, let's add it to the website somewhere under "downloads". -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

Wow, I don't really know how it works at this time. But this is a good reason to make some reserch. I'll keep you informed if I find something interesting. May be you'll question that can help in a larger view of the subject. Cedric

save crash
by bulia byak 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Today's CVS crashes when sttempting to save file. I tracked it down to sp_module_db_foreach(save_internal, (gpointer)&omod); in modules/system.c. Anyone can have a look? -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/

New SDI Interface
by Cédric GEMY 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

-- I like it wel and it is much butter than previous. May be I should have stored Groups/Combine & Superposition Menus in an "Object" Menu. It's the case in Adobe Illustrator and I find it successful and logical. For Zoom is just a screen effect for displaying object, it's a good thing to have a specific menu for zoom factors directly in document window. May be it would possible to delete the Zoom group in the toolbox. At the end, just a question about Inkscpae Language. Is there anybody working on a french trnaslations of the menus and dialogs. If no can I take this in charge ? Default Gnome po are not always very good for such specific applications. Cédric

docked toolboxes
by MenTaLguY 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Out of curiousity, how many of you folks out there currently use docked toolboxes? (i.e. extra toolboxes embedded in the document window) I'm seriously considering killing the feature to free up UI space. We still have the floating toolbox, and that's the way most drawing apps do it. The recent transient work also diminishes the advantage of having a toolbox in the window -- the detached toolbox now stays raised with the document window too. -mental

Re: [Inkscape-devel] win32 test build + exit on closing last document

M> 1- Install gtk runtime from http://www.dropline.net/gtk/download.php M> 2- Download http://195.221.122.126/tmp/inkscape-0.36cvs-w32.exe [1.22 Mo], M> extract, and change the path to your gtk libs in inkscape.bat M> 3- Run inkscape.bat thanks! it basically works, but i noticed some things on my w2k system: transient windows doesn't work :-( they all stay on the desktop when i minimize my document - they are also listem on the taskbar - it shouldn't be like that i think? (i can't can't compare because i can't update my linux version - cvs from sourceforge is a little old) only "fill and stroke", "document settings" and "align" stay on top (and toolbar of course) only "fill and stroke" remembers its position thanks again from all the dual-boot users out there i think :-) and thanks for bulia for great dialogs. one more thing: i'm not sure if exiting inkscape on closing last document is a good behaviour. it prevents user from doing such simple thing like closing the document and opening another one (if there's no other document open inkscape will exit). i don't like it. maybe the idea would be to show some special dialog when user closes last document. the options on such dialog might be "Cancel", "Save & Exit", "Exit Without Saving", "Open Existing Document" and "Create New Document". what do you think about that? inkscape is great! best regards yemu
