support for gcode extensions
by Brynn 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

Hi Friends, I provide support for Inkscape daily, in bb style forums or occassionally in LP Answers. A couple of things are missing across the community. 1 - tutorials for using gcode tools, and 2 - support for questions and problems with those extensions. I know that the extensions all reference a single, 30-page topic in a Russian forum, as a place to get support. But we still are getting questions posted in other forums, that we just can't answer. Is there any other place where people can find support? Thanks, brynn

Inkscape Hackfest: I'll bring teh coffeh
by C R 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

I have a small nespresso coffee-pod type coffee machine which fits nicely in a bit of hand luggage. I'm also willing to smuggle a truly questionable quantity of coffeepods to Leeds, since it seems most folks who are attending love coffee to some degree, and it's friggin miles to the nearest coffee chain stores. What I want to know is: who wants coffee, and how much per day. I'm going to bulk-order nespresso coffeepods (or reasonable facsimiles), which will get them cheaper than they would be otherwise. If you are attending the inkscape hackfest, and want coffee, just reply with your average per-day quota, and I'll add it all up to see how much to lug along. Also advise if you want other things like sugar, powdered milk, soy, cocoa, etc. Thanks! -C

ANN: reproducible build & test virtual machine
by Olof Bjarnason 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

Hi Inkscape list! I've worked on a Vagrantfile* over the past few months, that is able to bring up a virtual build- and test machine for Inkscape. The VM is running on Lubuntu linux (lightweight Ubuntu) so you can actually run the inkscape binary produced by the build. You can, of course, modify the Inkscape source code within the VM, and rebuild. So if you got Vagrant and VirtualBox up and running, creating a development environment for Inkscape is just a "vagrant up" away. Because of this, it is relatively simple to develop Inkscape regardless on what OS&machine you are on, be it Windows, Mac or Linux - as long as you can install VirtualBox and Vagrant you are good to go. I'd love feedback and/or pull requests. https://github.com/objarni/inkup/ /Olof * The Vagrantfile is the "recipe" used to build a VM using Vagrant. Vagrant automates the creation and management of virtual machines on a computer. It supports VM ware, VirtualBox and more.

Quick fix suggestion: Filter document "Page Size" options based on "display units" drop-down
by C R 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Working on the video templates today and noticed that many of the options for template sizes that are present in the "New from template" dialogue are missing in the Document Properties options (including video templates). But... Rather than include a search (which may be nice but time-consuming as a fix). Why don't we include them all, but filter the options shown based on the units selected in the "display units". So if the user chooses "in" then show all options with dimensions listed in inches In my case, the template would naturally be in px for video, so having chosen "px", I'd get my 1080p template right away without having to open a new file (or remember that 1080 is the height rather than the width, which always gives me issues remembering "1920" for some reason). At the least, I think it should make the px values float to the top of the list, for convenience. The sizes are somewhat haphazardly listed at the moment. Thoughts? -C

Linked offset broken in trunk
by C R 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hey, just noticed that linked offset now produces very bad results. I'm using Inkscape 0.91+devel r (Mar 14 2016) To reproduce results: 1. Draw any shape 2. Add a linked offset to the shape 3. Drag the linked offset handle out or in. Star and rounded rectangle example with linked offset here: http://www.opendesignstudio.org/inkscape/linked_ofset_problem.png As you can see the results are wavey/garbagey. Whatever changes were made to the linked offset modifier seem to have broken it pretty badly. :/ Thoughts? -C

Installing Inkscape nightly alongside stable 0.91 on Linux Mint 17.3
by jelle 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Installing Inkscape nightly alongside stable 0.91 on Linux Mint 17.3 Is that possible? And if so, how exactly? Or does it install like that already? I'd rather not replace my stable release with the nighlies, but would like to be more active testing now I can finally report bugs. But I can also imagine wanting to use a nightly as production tool if the bugs can be avoided and the functionality gain warrants its use. I also wonder if some of the bug fixes couldn't be released as Bugfix package rather than to have to wait for a long time till the next stable release. I can imagine that to be a lot of work to keep track of though, so not sure about the feasibility of it. Or maybe some kind of recommended Beta update (as Inkscape is still Beta anyway), that has proven to have some improvements making it worth upgrading. Being able to use Shift+Del and Shift+Insert for text springs to mind as an particularly annoying omission in 0.91 (as years of usage has carved that path in my neural network) but fixed in later nightlies. Cheers, Jelle

Better data structure for selections
by Adrian Boguszewski 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello, I'm Adrian Boguszewski. I'm 5th year student in the field of Computer Science at Gdansk University of Technology, Poland. I'm interested in Better data structure for selections project. I have expierence with C++ and STL and I know many data structures (e.g. lists, trees, graphs, hash tables), their time and space complexities. Moreover I implemented some of them, during my studies, myself. I've already sucessfully compiled Inkscape and I'm going to start with learning the code and bugs fixing. Is there anything I should to know? Best regards, Adrian
