buildtool update
by Eduard Braun 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi all, I just pushed a small fix for buildtool which solves some glitches with matching regular expressions (see [1] for details). It shouldn't cause any problems, just make sure to run g++ buildtool.cpp -o btool after your next pull to re-compile. Best Regards, Eduard [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1550776

While I'm waiting for Inkscape to redraw the screen....

Can we disable box-drag zoom while the "zoom out" function is active? I'm used to shift-clicking to zoom out when I don't have a mousewheel, and if Inkscape detects even the slightest movement while the mouse is pressed, it draws a teeny tiny box and tries to zoom in to it. If the user is zooming out this behaviour should be dissabled, because it's a zoom-in function. Alternatively, or additionally: When it zooms into such a small area, Inkscape takes an absolute age to re-draw gradients and my high-res graphics. It might be best to expand the minimum area that the box-zoom can zoom into. Say 10x10 screen px would be reasonable I think. Thoughts? Ah, there it goes. :) I can work again, yay! :D - C

how to update a git repository?
by alvinpenner 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

I had previously downloaded the git lib2geom repository using the command: git clone git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom Now I saw that there was a recent commit yesterday, so I decided to update. I ran the command : git pull git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom and got the response: >From git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom * branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD Already up-to-date. However, I know that my copy is not uptodate, despite what the message says. Any ideas as to how to do a pull? Also, is there any way of knowing which rev my local repository is currently on? Something equivalent to 'bzr revno' or 'bzr version-info'? I have tried 'git log', but unfortunately it generates an infinite loop from which I cannot escape, so it is not very helpful. I have tried about a dozen varieties of the command 'git log <revision range>' but none of them work. The git help files, unfortunately, are no help because they do not contain any working examples. Also, will I need to implement a SSH key to make changes? I previously did this for launchpad on Windows using Pageant and Putty, but am not sure how to apply that procedure to git, and also I lost my notes from that trial, which was in 2009. any help would be appreciated. tia, Alvin -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/how-to-update-a-git-repository-tp4975817.h… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hey, I'm Manipal Singh junior year student from IIIT hyderabad and I want to contribute to Inkscape gsoc 2016 project, some of them are very interesting. I would like to seek some more information regarding the project "Development Project Management System" that seems pretty interesting to me as I have good knowledge of C++, CSS, Python and Django. Do we just need to create web app for ideas of development projects and enhance existing Project UI? Also I would like to know about the existing project. Thanks, Manipal Singh

Access to inkscape wiki
by Raphaël Bournhonesque 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Hello, I wish to contribute to Inkscape, by improving the documentation/comments, and hopefully the code base. I found some typos in http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Developer_manual, but it seems that writting access must be asked to the devel mailing list first. Is this the right place to ask ? Best, Raphaël

Code changes related to a scale factor of 1 + 1/15???
by mathog 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi all, Does anybody recall a recent change that would have introduced a scale factor of 1.066667 (1 + 1/15), on Windows only? In a simple test case (one black rectangle) read in from an EMF file, for the same trunk revision, among other issues, I am seeing all coordinates and widths scaled up by that amount on windows relative to linux.

[Fwd: Re: Website Download donations]
by Martin Owens 03 Mar '16

I'm forwarding this information directly to the list. It's from Canonical/Ubuntu about their donation during download screen. They say: * 1 in every 500 downloads results in a donation (0.2%) * People donate what your default is normally * There are lots of complaints about the download format * They plan on changing the download screen to a thank you page This is important data for us, because I feel the good will of our users is important for us and noting to large amount of complaints is important for the design.

btool slower to link with recent devlibs on Windows (32 bit)
by mathog 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi all, Finally had a chance to update things on my Windows XP 32 bit build box. Devlibs 53 -> 61 and now current inkscape trunk. I'm observing that the link stage is taking a very, very, Very long time to complete. Many minutes. I do not recall it taking that long previously. Am I hallucinating or is it really slower than it used to be? Is there an easy way to disable the build for inkview, so that I can at least not have to wait for that progam's equally slow link? Also I have forgotten the trick to get btool to show what it is doing when it compiles a module. That is, to show the cxx line rather than compile (modulename) Finally, gdb seems to be more hit and miss than I remembered. Doing it this way: gdb file inkscape/inkscape.exe inkscape/inkscape.dbg # set break point here run /c/temp/test2.emf is doing strange things. The break points will not always set. Sometimes it says that it doesn't see the file (emf-inout.c) and other times that it does not see the line specified. build.xml was modified with -O2 -> -O0, so nothing should have been optimized away. Yet other times, it works as one would expect. Also when it segfaults "bt" is wildly uninformative. For the case at hand it is >600 levels deep and each level is just described by a few numbers - no file or module names are shown. Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176...
