mouse cursor spins forever, sort of
by Lachele Foley 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

After our users use Inkscape for a short time, the mouse cursor turns to a spinning ball. * The cursor remains a spinning ball even outside inkscape and even after inkscape is closed * This hasn't happened after using any other program (gimp, office, gedit, browsers, terminals, etc.) * It happens without fail when we use Inkscape, but see "More info" below. * If there is a pattern regarding when the cursor turns to the spinning ball, I have yet to figure it out. That is, it seems to happen at any time: while editing text, or adding a box, or adding a spiral, or moving something, etc. The weird thing is that when I take a screenshot, the cursor looks normal in the screenshot. In order to make an image of the problem, I had to take a photograph of the screen. See images at the link below; I added descriptive comments. https://goo.gl/photos/bttn8JmHNQM871mo8 More info: * I'm using LTSP. ** It always happens on the clients, but not on the server that I've seen yet ** Since it only happens with inkscape, I'm reporting to you before trying the LTSP folks * OS info: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS ** inkscape is up to date ** uname -a Linux rime 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- :-) Lachele Lachele Foley CCRC/UGA Athens, GA USA

Hi people!, What do you know about why if you close the last opened file, close the entire program too?, and why if open various files, open various windows of the program?

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Fwd: features (closing inkscape when closing file)
by jelle 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Dear all,. It is one of my biggest gripes that whenever I close a file Iḿ working on the program closes and I have to start it up again, waiting for my 200+ fonts to load, having everything initialise etc. It's utter bollocks. Why not just close the file and display a grey field until you start a new or open an existing file? Have it ready for a new bout of creativity? You want to close it? Press Alt+f4 or click the cross in the top right corner (it's not a win10 installer is it?). And yes,.. tabbed files would be very welcome, so those of us that do more than just dabble around with it to check for bugs can just open a whole project in a single instance of Inkscape and start dragging and dropping objects from one file to another. Oh that implies multiple open files displayed at the same time. That would enable us to easily access files with symbols or reusable objects or check their content, make template files more accessible, easily collate a whole project into a multi page document and so forth. There is a plethora of use cases for that. Not to mention avoiding having multiple instances of the same application cluttering your task bar not showing what file it is due to lack of space. Click this one? Rats!! Wrong one.. This one then? Argh... Next,.. etc. If you like me tend to work with about 10 open instances of Inkscape while working on a new project, it can be useful to spread them around multiple desktops, but it would be nice if you could have it tabbed and multiple instances at your hearts desire. Would also be easier on the screen estate. Cheers, Jelle

Minor deselect behaviour inconsistency
by Olof Bjarnason 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Hi there! C R made me aware that deselecting nodes in 0.92 can be done not only with Escape key, but also by double-clicking with left mouse button on empty area. This is in contrast to 0.91 and earlier versions, when a single click made that happen (which was quite annoying to be honest, so I'm happy for this change to happen in 0.92). However, the Select Tool still uses single clicks to deselect objects. Is this inconsistency intentional...? Doesn't it make sense to have double-clicks to deselect objects just as is the case for nodes? Cheers, /Olof

Gtk3 Migration Hackfest
by Tavmjong Bah 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Hi, The Inkscape Board is considering sending a group of Inkscape developers to the Gnome Users and Developers conference (GUADEC)[1] to work on the migration from Gtk2 to Gtk3. The conference takes place in Karlsruhe, Germany. The core conference is from August 12th-14th. Hackfests are scheduled August 15th-17th. Before we can decide on sending developers we need to: 1. Identify which Inkscape developers could go. Developers should have some basic experience with Gtk2 and Gtk3 programming. 2. Identify who the developers would work with (which Gtk experts at GUADEC would be available for help). 3. Which migration issues would be tackled. If you are interested in participating please respond to this email. If you have comments, please respond to the email and/or add them to either the Gtk3 migration wiki page[2] or the Gtk3 Hackfest wiki page[3]. Thanks, Tav [1] https://2016.guadec.org/ [2] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Gtk_issues [3] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/HackfestGtk3

Release 0.92 plan
by Bryce Harrington 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

A year ago we kicked off a rapid 0.92 release, but turns out it wasn't so rapid! But I'd like to re-kickoff 0.92, with renewed hopes of getting through the remainder of the release process swiftly. The main thing the release got hung up on was the cmake transition, but at this point it's actually close to done and I think we can proceed. We've accumulated a lot of nice features for this release. Please review (and make sure your own items are listed!) http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92 I'd like to propose the following expedited plan for getting the release out, with Chill being today, Frost in about a week, and Freeze a week or so. Bryce # Period Tasks Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- √1. Open development. √Implement new build system √Begin switching packaging to use new build system 2. Chill. Development focuses on wrapping up Post inkscape-0.92-pre0.tar.gz Today Disable features that aren't finished Identify 'make distcheck' issues Identify remaining writing needed for Release Notes. Identify any release blocker bugs [scislac] Start an About Screen contest √ Recruit Release Wardens for Hard Freeze 3. Frost. Only production-ready code committed to Mainline Finalize any major changes to platform packaging May 15 Inkscape must pass 'make distcheck' (1 wk) Finalize about screen Finalize Release Notes except Known Issues Post additional inkscape-0.92-pre*.tar.gz releases Packagers test creating pkgs of the -pre* releases 4. Freeze. Stable Branch is forked from Mainline Regular development resumes on Mainline. May 22nd-ish Only Release Wardens can commit to Stable Branch Cherrypick bug fixes from Mainline to Stable Complete any late work under advisement of Wardens Focus on release-critical bug fixing. String Freeze No further string changes allowed on Stable Branch. Translators work on translations. Finalize all extensions Finalize codebase translations Finalize Known Issues section of Release Notes Finalize packaging scripts Post additional inkscape-0.92-pre*.tar.gz releases 5. Release. Post inkscape-0.92.tar.gz Post packages Post official announcements Plan 0.92.1+ release(s), if needed 6. Open development. == Postponed == Decide new unit testing system Ensure Windows uninstall works Integrate new swatch dialog Migrate mailing lists off sourceforge (Other bits off roadmap...) Triage and prioritize bugs report this year Finalize tutorials to be shipped with release Finalize other docs included in the release

New guides... extension update.
by ugajin 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

The guides... extension script has been updated. This is probably the final update for the foreseeable future. However, a development version which includes a feature for adding guide labels is available. Drop me an e-mail request if you would like to receive a copy. Please extract and see the readMe file from the zip download for full details about this update, and the development version. -u

Local copy of gtest
by Alex Valavanis 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Summary: If we want to run tests in the PPA, we probably need to include a copy of gtest source in our repo. Any objections? Hi All, Are there any objections to bundling a copy of the Google test framework source code into our trunk repo? At the moment, we provide the download-gtest.sh script for grabbing the gtest source from upstream. However, this presents a couple of issues: 1. It's obviously dependent on a network connection to the upstream packages being available 2. We can't run the wget download in the Ubuntu builder Can I suggest that we simply adopt a copy of the gtest source? Are there any good reasons (e.g. licensing) not to do this? I'm generally not keen on repo bloat but AFAIU it's generally considered good practice to bundle test frameworks with project source code. AV
