cvs update
by Mael 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

Hello, when I browse cvs (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/src/) everything is at least 5 days old, why can't I see the last changes ? I'm trying to update my local cvs to try Robert Crosbie changes concerning icons but can't get recent files (CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@...54...:/cvsroot/inkscape). What am I doing wrong ? M

While the original "download" webpage was fairly empty, the addition of the cvs-snap/ directory might make it more meaningful. At present, there isn't really any other good place to put a link to the nightly tarballs. What do the web folks think about putting download.php back into service looking something like: Sourceforge Releases -------------------- http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 Nightly CVS Tarballs -------------------- Current: http://www.inkscape.org/cvs-snap/inkscape-current.tar.bz2 Historical: http://www.inkscape.org/cvs-snap/ -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

transformation innaccuracies
by Robert Crosbie 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

I noticed the transformations applied to objects is quite inaccurate: <rect width="200.000000" height="200.000000" x="100.000000" y="100.000000" style="font-size:12;fill:#808080;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke-width:1pt;" id="rect562" /> Opening the transformations dialog and applying 10 horizontal gives this: <rect width="200.000000" height="200.000000" x="112.500000" y="99.9999695" style="font-size:12;fill:#808080;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke-width:1pt;" id="rect562" /> Also, If I take that original square and rotate it 10, I get this: <rect width="200.000000" height="200.000000" x="62.2319183" y="131.691177" transform="matrix(0.984808,-0.173648,0.173648,0.984808,0.000000,0.000000)" style="font-size:12;fill:#808080;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke-width:1pt;" id="rect562" /> Why have my x and y changed? Shouldn't the matrix handle all aspects of the transformation and leave x and y as they were?

Website broken links and stylesheets
by Alan Horkan 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

http://www.inkscape.org/ "November 13, 2003 - Tvon is working on the look and feel for the website. A version without CSS <URL:http://home.etria.org/nocss.html> is also available, as well as the original mockup. " The link i've inlined in the text above does not work, I would suggest putting an editorial note [Broken] to indicate the link is no longer available. As the web page designer is willing to provide a no CSS version it would be great if (s)he could specify a title for the style sheet and specify default/alternative so that users of Mozilla and Opera can easily turn off the stylesheet by choosing View -> Use Style. (I've just learnt CSS recently, dont ask me any difficult questions please :) In future would you prefer if I posted a bug report instead of emailing the list? (or is there a web maintainer I should mail directly, the is none indicated in the usual place, at the bottom of the page). Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/ (this was another mail left languishing in my drafts folder all week, the webpage has switched over to the new design since then and it is sweet)

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
by Bob Jamison 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

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

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

Re : New SDI Interface

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
