Hello, I have already sent a request to unsubscribe from inkscape mailing lists. But without result. I get emails from people talking to me about inkscape like I'm a member of the inkscape team (see email below). Which i am not. I don't understand. Is it possible to delete my email from your database please? Thanks a lot. Have a good evening. Marie-Pierre OTTENIO For instance i received this email : Dear Sir/Ma'am, I am Rishi Kejriwal, currently a 2nd year student, studying Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Roorkee, and I would love to contribute to Inkscape for open source and also the upcoming GSoC, 2023. I am a full stack developer, and I am well versed with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ReactJS, Python, C++, Java, Git, PHP and MySQL, and I would like to use my existing knowledge and experience to contribute to your organization. I would be grateful if you can share some points how to get started with contributing to Inkscape. Kind Regards, Rishi. _______________________________________________ Inkscape Devel mailing list -- inkscape-devel(a)lists.inkscape.org <mailto:inkscape-devel@lists.inkscape.org> To unsubscribe send an email to inkscape-devel-leave(a)lists.inkscape.org <mailto:inkscape-devel-leave@lists.inkscape.org>

OSC or UDP messags
by John Allsup 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

Hi, A general topic I'm interested in, with many applications, is the possibility of using OSC or some custom UDP protocol for messages. As such, all the core application needs to do in its run loop is to check for pending packets and process any that have arrived (the rest of receiving could be on another thread). For example, so that you could use essentially any device with rotary knobs or buttons to control things like line width or colour of the selected object or, more generally, anything else. OSC is a common protocol used by some music software, but I'm interested in its use beyond music software. You could send messages like e.g. /currentobject/linewidth/changeby 46 "pt" to increase the line width by 46 pt Essentially anywhere there is a numerical value the user could control via e.g. the toolbar or some slider somewhere, or something that could be toggled on/off, or stepped through, there is the scope for controlling it via something tactile like a rotary encoder on a Midi controller, or anything else. (You could easily have an external program which handles conversion to/from what an app understands.) Just my general line of thinking. My motivation for trying to get along with this idea is devices like the TourBox which, in absence of a protocol like OSC, is just a box and some (bloated) software that turns knobs and buttons into keyboard shortcuts to control applications.

Inkscape 1.2.2 ============== Inkscape 1.2.2 is now released. You can download it at: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.2.2/ then, if you want to support Inkscape, donate to the project at: https://inkscape.org/support-us/ ---------------- Inkscape 1.2.2 is a maintenance and bugfix release, which brings you 4 crash fixes, over 25 bug fixes, 5 fixes for extension bugs and 13 improved user interface translations. Notably, the OpenClipart import is now available to everyone, regardless of the selected packaging format or operating system, spellchecking finally works on macOS, performance is improved (in exchange for dithering disabled by default), extensions that modify colors can now also modify colors in patterns again, and for our maker community, we fixed some issues with the measure tool, the DXF14 export and with hairline strokes. Thanks to everyone involved in that release! -- The Inkscape team

Inkscape Hackfest 2023
by René de Hesselle 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Dear all, we’re trying to organize a Hackfest early 2023 in Germany at a location outside Cologne (~15 km). While the location won’t lend itself to sightseeing tours or visiting a different bar each night (because it's not in the city, more on the country side), it’s special appeal is that we actually don’t have to leave the premises: team room, hotel rooms and excellent catering (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are conveniently all in one place. Ideal conditions for late night sessions under the influence of beer and good company to spark commits for make benefit glorious library of Boost Pointer Container! ('grep -A 5 glorious src/3rdparty/2geom/include/2geom/curve.h‘ and you will understand) More details will be revealed later, for now let’s see which week(s) to look at for possible booking and how many people are interested. Please use your GitLab handle as your name to vote within 7 days: https://framadate.org/FKWRfp1N54R1YJr3 (Two weeks in February are missing because traveling during carnival season through a hotspot like Cologne isn’t fun.) Cheers! René
