Good point. There are probably other instances like this where variables are being included in the translatable. I would guess the proper way to do it would be something like: inkex.errormsg(_("Side Length 'a'") + " (" + unit + "): " + str( params[0][0] ) ) > Can this be fixed before the release and the last update before the string > freeze? We're already far into string freeze, and actually very close to final freeze. This particular issue is just an error message printed to the console for one of the extension programs, so the severity of having it untranslated seems quite low. I would suggest filing a bug report to seek getting it fixed in trunk for future releases.

Text tool confusion
by Maren Hachmann 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Hi again, I've just tried out the most recent revision (0.92.x r15273, compiled on Linux Mint 18, 64bit), and I've got a couple of questions about the line height / font size settings. In a new document I made a new text (normal one, consisting of text and tspans for each line, by clicking). - The first thing I noticed was that the button 'set lineheight on part of selection' was enabled by default. I thought the 'default' is rather that one sets the line height for the whole text, and that setting it for single spans is more of a 'special designer feature' that I wouldn't ever need (sorry...). - Then I noticed the hover text of the button, which refers to 'part of selection' - wouldn't that set the line height for the *whole* selection, hopefully? (important for translation, too...) - Now, whenever I change the lineheight of a text, this reenables that button (I had been looking for a way to enable it by clicking, or selecting something in vain before...), although I only want to change the lineheight for the whole text. When I then deactivate the button, the lineheight switches back to the default line-height, unsetting the line height for the whole text. It does seem to change the lineheight style property for the whole text object in the xml, but it also does so for each span inside, if nothing is selected. I expected it would only do that globally, and the tspans inside inherit. Is it intended that the button self-activates when there is no selection but the line-height is changed? How do I set the line-height for the whole non-flowed text, without setting it for each span inside? Is that even possible (after text creation, if I set it before starting to write, then it works only on the main object, probably because the rest doesn't exist yet...). How can I keep the lineheight of a span, while still changing the lineheight for the whole object? (They get lost when I change the setting without having selected anything...) For flowed texts, the feature seems to work a tiny bit more in line with my expectations. Only, when I set a line-height for a span, and then change the line-height for the whole object afterwards, the setting for the span seems to be lost. I'd have expected it to stay until I remove it, even if its effect would not be visible. - The first line height I got in a new document (default template for German, so mm) was something like 55 mm. This was not what I had in my text tool's preferences settings (last used style, and I didn't have any line-height values like that). In 0.91, it's a unitless 1.2. In a flowed text in 0.92pre, it starts with 1000% (corresponding to 21mm). Could the default rather be set to a unitless 1.2 or something more reasonable? - Why is the font size shown in the text tool's toolbar a different one than the one in the XML (both say they're in px)? I only have two font sizes in the document, and no transforms, so shouldn't they be the same? Is maybe a different unit used for displaying the value? It looks correct in Firefox, and there is no unit field for the font size. The ratio is 5.33333, btw. (tool bar size : xml size). In 0.91, both values match. In my preferences, the unit for font size is px. - The font size field seems to have lost its scroll sensitivity. Changing a font size is only possible by typing or selecting, no longer by scrolling when hovering over the field, which I find rather painful. Could someone please bring that ability back? Sorry for the length of this. I wasn't sure if all of this merits a bug report, or if it's maybe even intended (but if it is, it's extremely confusing...). Regards, Maren

Yes, they added some strings - and those are especially important as they concern the document conversion between 0.91 and 0.92 (units change to match CSS specification). Users who are presented with an English message might find this even more difficult to decide than in their native language. Could someone update the po files in the Inkscape 0.92.x repo, please?

Conversion from a text line height mode to another one now works fine with recent changes ! I can now convert a text block line height from % mode to unit defined modes without having to re-adjust anything. Kubuntu 14.04 Thanks a lot ! ivan

Looking into this roll-app, it's a service that runs the program on a server in the cloud and when they offer you Inkscape, what you're paying for is that cloud based service and not Inkscape itself. We certainly have never gotten any money from roll-app or support. It's the chromebooks that are the problem. These are devices that deliberately stop the owner from having real freedom to run what ever programs they wish. It is the same story for Apple iPads and it seriously upsets me. Google's argument is that a chromebook is ONLY for websites, not for programs. When they offer 'apps' they're really just cleverly packaged websites. So you don't need to have any ability to install your own programs. To do this properly, you'd have to use something like Crouton to install Ubuntu on the computers. Once you have an operating system on them, you can install Inkscape for free within that. but of course, this will require, permission, technical skill and patience to do for all the machines you have. You may have to conclude that Inkscape is not available for your chromebooks. Sorry I don't have any better advice. Best Regards, Martin Owens Volunteer Website Administrator

Inkscape is Free and Open Source, which means you are guaranteed fundamental freedom to make things with, and of it. This includes making money from ads.

You could just move it to inkscape.org, into your gallery there. Only make sure you select the correct licence, and give attribution. The licence allows to make derivations, and the trademark policy (basically) says that as long as it's not misrepresenting the project, it's okay (more details here: https://inkscape.org/en/about/trademark-policy/).
