User Manual
by Cédric GEMY 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

I've just put a first french release of the Sodipodi User Manual on http://www.svgfr.net. This only deals with tool description. I'll now work on themas (working with colors ...) and tutorials. I'm proposing to begin a translation of the existent to english and also to make it useable for Inkscape. If english speaker are ready to help me, or correct my mistakes, I'm OK. Cédric

new menu
by bulia byak 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

The new menu looks nice, now if only I could compile it: window.c: In function `sp_utility_window_new': window.c:56: `GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_UTILITY' undeclared (first use in this function) window.c:56: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once window.c:56: for each function it appears in.) I guess I need to upgrade my gtk, right? One comment on the screenshot: while you are at it, could you remove the minimize button from the toolbox? It really serves no useful purpose. -- __________________________________________________________ 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/

preferences broken?
by bulia byak 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

I gave up trying to find out why inkspace_dispose does not run, nor whether it is supposed to run, so I did this: void inkscape_exit (Inkscape *inkscape) { // added if (inkscape->preferences) { inkscape_save_preferences (inkscape); } gtk_main_quit (); } This works for me. Preferences are saved on exit. I also added saving preferences to segv_handler so they are not lost upon crash. What troubles me is that I still don't understand how it worked before. Has anyone changed anything recently that could affect this? Please object and criticize. If there are no objections I will commit this change. -- __________________________________________________________ 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/

Re: [Inkscape-devel] docked toolboxes

> 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. On the contrary, I would like to eventually see all dialogs dockable, so that users can choose what they want docked and what they want floating. This seems to be how the modern apps behave. I agree that with transiency, floating dialogs are now usable, but docked ones still have two advantages: - they don't overlap anything. This may be more intuitive for some users. - they better emulate the Windows model where, basically, floating child windows do not have a focus of their own. E.g. palettes in Illustrator are _all_ focused when the parent window has focus. Only a widget within a floating palette can have focus; if no widgets are focused, all input goes to the parent window. This is what our transients still cannot quite emulate but what dockables can (even though they are not floating). So, though it's not high priority at the moment, I'd like all dialogs to become dockable, and I don't like the idea of killing the only one which is dockable now. What are the benefits of this? -- __________________________________________________________ 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/

Re: [Inkscape-devel] cvs update

Yes, the web interface at sf.net seems to be broken for some time, but checking out via CVS works and gives you the up-to-the-minute version. -- __________________________________________________________ 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/

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What is the big difference between sodipodi and inscape? I have both installed and do not see a big difference at the moment.

KDE file dialogues
by James Ots 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

Hi, I think it would be really nice if the KDE file dialogues could be put back into inkscape as a compile-time option, like in sodipodi. I can cope with the rest of inkscape being gtk (I don't like it, but I can cope!), but KDE's file dialogues are just too nice to go without. -- Cheers James Ots www.jamesots.com

A dozen patches
by Bryce Harrington 16 Nov '03

16 Nov '03

There's a dozen patches in the patch tracker waiting for reviewing and integration. Half are old ones I pulled from the Sodipodi mailing list archives and will need reviewing. If everyone with CVS commit rights could take one or two, we should be able to clear the queue out no prob. Thanks, Bryce

layers
by MenTaLguY 16 Nov '03

16 Nov '03

Last night, I hammered out the most important part of implementing layers -- with latest CVS, you can use the XML editor to set the inkscape:groupmode attribute of a group to "layer", and be able to edit its children directly. There's still a lot of UI and refinement work to do, however; I've outlined it on the Wiki here: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DocumentLayers -mental
