Website Upgrade Status: Springtime
by Martin Owens 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

Dear Developers, board and lurking users, The live website has just been transitioned. Maren and I have been testing and fixing the next version of the site over on staging for the past two weeks; so I firstly want to offer my profound thanks to Maren for the timely help with bug reports to clean up many rough edges. With the testing, this doesn't mean we have clean up everything, so don't worry if you see something odd or an error. Report odd things to me or the inkscape-web bug tracker, errors get emailed to me directly so don't worry too much about them. Now onto features. * The gallery app has had a lot of work done on it. Some things got patched into live before, but the vast majority of improvements are now there. Mainly the index page that allows one to browse: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/ * There is an alerts system now. You can subscribe to pages so you can get an email when they're edited, to users so you get a message when they upload new art and you may also get a message if someone clicks the send message link in your profile. Allows other users to message people without email addresses being exposed. * The teams app has been massively improved, although not completed as the end goal is mailing list integration. You can see the three public teams here: https://inkscape.org/en/teams/ * There is a new releases app which replaces the cms downloads pages. It's being filled in slowly, if you can help write up and link up all the downloads, please get in touch. You can see the start of the data here: https://inkscape.org/en/release/ And there's many many bugs fixed since last year. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi Dypsok. Here are some info about LPE. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/ index.php/Creating_Live_Path_Effects Basicaly add a processed data to path, retaining original path data on a atribute of the path (inkscape:original_d). I do a few LPE and can help you if tou want if have any question. Any way you need to develop in C++. Cheers, Jabier. Posted also on devel list wrong attempt on first email.

Notification popup on inapplicable command
by Daniel Beardsmore 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

One aspect of Inkscape that is confusing is that it is possible to issue commands that have no effect because they are inapplicable, e.g. requesting to unlink a clone, on an object that is not a clone. Where such inapplicable commands are given with the keyboard, there is no notification that the command did nothing, and when no visual change would have occurred even when it did succeed, the results can be especially confusing. Ideally, all menu items and toolbar buttons would be dynamic, i.e. disabled when inapplicable, but I'm thinking that it would also make sense to show a floating notification bar that notifies the user that the command failed because it did not apply, e.g. "Object is not a clone". ---------------------------------------------- This e-mail was sent from my Desktop Computer®

Hi all, The win32 devlibs have just been updated (rev. 54) to fix the following reports: - Bug #1530286 "Inkscape fails to build on Window with GC errors", - Bug #1156664 "Compile against external libpotrace". The build.xml files also changed in rev. 14559, so don't forget to update the devlibs and run "btool clean" before compiling! Regards, -- Nicolas

Differences in union result between commandline and the GUI?
by eric schleicher 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hello. getting familiarized with using inkscape from the commandline in preparation for developing some automation and connectors in nodejs. Running some simple examples, I noticed that there seem to be some differences between the output created by the commandline and what the UI create (on the exact same input assets). I've attached a photo here noting the most obvious differences I've observed I'm wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on the why i might be seeing these differences and whether there is a way to address them do that the output from the commandline is faithful to the both the original and the version created by the union operation in the UI. The path union operation from the UI is flawless, but not so from the command line so this was a very unexpected result. Are these types of deviations common, or perhaps is this something that can be addressed with different settings/arguments. for reference, where command used: ./inkscape --file 'c:\users\user\dog.svg' --select 'top' --verb 'SelectionUnion' --export-plain-svg='c:\users\user\dog-plain.svg' Run from a poweshell session on windows 8.1 with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (Jan 30 2015) The original (path, not text) [image: Inline image 2] A Comparison of the two Otherwise this seems to be a bug. Interested to learn more, Eric

Specifying color fonts
by Tom Lechner 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi, Is there currently in Inkscape a way to specify exact fonts, like specific font files? If I understand right, would this mean support of "user fonts" as specified by CSS3 Fonts? I've been working on using color fonts made from font layers (where each color layer is a different font file), but the layer fonts I can find all specify family names and styles in such a way that it seems impossible to specify them in Inkscape. Is there any planned native support for color fonts, either manually layered, or opentype svg/colr/cpal color fonts? -Tom ---- laidout.org tomlechner.com
