[Fwd: Inkscape Ballot E-mail Test]

If you are in the AUTHORS file, you should have received an e-mail like this in the last half hour or so. If not, please check your spam filter (it kinda looks like spam, I understand that) and then contact the Elections Committee. We've been working hard (mostly Maren) to get all of your e-mail addresses correct and updated, but I could have made a typo or we could have an old e-mail address for you. It'll be much easier to correct things now rather than when we start voting. If you know someone who is an Inkscape author but is not on inkscape-devel, please contact them and tell them to look out for this message as well.

Inkscape Board Elections: Last chance for nominations and candidacies
by Maren Hachmann 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

Hi everyone, it's been a little difficult to get people to volunteer (nobody did without having been asked) or to even nominate someone (same!). Now's your last chance to step up and tell us you'd like to run for one of those two empty seats - or to nominate someone you think should be on the Inkscape Board. We'd really like to see your candidacy and / or nominations (hurry up - we still have to ask the nominee ;) )! (else the election could become a little boring...) Please send your mail to the Inkscape elections committee list at inkscape.elections.committee@...3260... Thank you! Regards, Maren

Switch
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi to all. Im thinking going to work on "switch" code now "full" implemented in Inkscape but without GUI. Tav give me help on it. I have a idea on how to get working but have questions. Im focused on languaje selector but maybe im wrong, maybe need a full "switch" GUI with "requiredFeatures", "requiredExtensions" and "systemLanguage" conditional processing attributes. Realy Im not sure if "requiredFeatures" and "requiredExtensions" are useful to handle on Inkscape or maybe is better for use on the XML editor or raw SVG editing for the moment. In my mind, with language only point of view, I need a object dialog method to redraw a "switch", and a language -or "switch"- widget to: * Add multilenguage title and desc * Switch all "switches" to one lang * Add lang to a "switch". Global? * Remove a lang * Insert selected element to a new "switch" in the default lang. * Handle more Aria atributes? By the way, about "switches" in webpages with "systemLanguage" conditional processing attribute, whats the best way to user based switch a lang? We need a JS hack? Now im very bussy whith my payed work but hope can take some time to this proyect but sure not as dedicated as previously :( Regards, Jabier.

Error compiling for Win64
by Christian Budde 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hello, today I wanted to build the latest trunk version for Win64, but I encountered an issue I don't know how to fix myself. What I did so far is to follow the instructions here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows_64-bit I also tried with more recent versions of MinGW-w64 now that Sourceforge is back online. Below is the error reported. It seems to be related to MinGW-w64, but I'm not sure what code actually triggered this and how to solve it. compile src/graphlayout.cpp Make error line 311: problem compiling: In file included from src/style.h:21:0, from src/graphlayout.cpp:34: src/style-internal.h:522:107: warning: unused parameter 'inherits' [-Wunused-parameter] SPIEnumBits( Glib::ustring const &name, SPStyleEnum const *enums, unsigned value = 0, bool inherits = true ) : ^ src/style-internal.h:522:107: warning: unused parameter 'inherits' [-Wunused-parameter] In file included from C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/bits/move.h:57:0, from C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/bits/stl_pair.h:59, from C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/bits/stl_algobase.h:64, from C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/bits/char_traits.h:39, from C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/ios:40, from C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/ostream:38, from C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/iostream:39, from src/graphlayout.cpp:15: C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/type_traits: In instantiation of 'struct std::remove_reference<SPItem*&>': C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/bits/move.h:87:5: required by substitution of 'template<class _Tp> constexpr _Tp&& s td::forward(typename std::remove_reference<_From>::type&&) [with _Tp = SPItem*&]' C:/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/c++/bits/stl_construct.h:75:68: required from 'void std::_Construct(_T1*, _Args&& ...)

Printing orientation issues
by Philipp Hachtmann 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi folks, Inkscape does the print orientation thing wrongly. I'll try to explain. Most - but *NOT* all! - printers start printing on the top of a sheet which comes out of the printer in portrait. That means that if you have your inkscape (or other document) in portrait, it will be sent to the printer just like you have it on the screen. No rotation, no nothing. Everything fine. Inkscape assumes that all printers work this way. It's hard coded in (at least, I did not go that deep, sorry) src/ui/dialog/print.cpp: > if (doc_width > doc_height) { > gtk_page_setup_set_orientation (page_setup, GTK_PAGE_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); > paper_size = gtk_paper_size_new_custom("custom", "custom", > doc_height, doc_width, GTK_UNIT_POINTS); I am not sure where the image is actually rotated (in Inkscape, the CUPS driver?), but the decision goes completely wrong when you have a printer that prints natively in landscape. This is the case for my label printer and my photo typesetter. And as I read in the web, I'm not the first one with that problem. The inkscape code is that "intelligent" that you can't even work around it by rotating the drawing before printing. It always comes out wrong. Amazing! I'm sorry that I can't provide a useful patch (I'm not good at application programming and all the high level stuff), but perhaps someone could fix this issue? It would be great to have some kind of config option that sounds like "Printer prints in landscape". Then this could be used to correct the decision if the image/print has to be turned. Kind regards Philipp

Reminder: New members for the Inkscape Board wanted!
by unknown＠example.com 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi everyone, this is just a small reminder that the application period for the Inkscape board has started. It is planned to last until August, 18th 2015. Please consider if you can imagine to extend your support for Inkscape to include some legal and financial responsibility for the project. Or if you know someone who you think could be a suitable person for one of the two vacant board seats, don't hesitate to submit a nomination. In either case, send your mail to inkscape.elections.committee@...3261... so we can help with your candidacy / ask the nominee. For more info about the process, also see https://inkscape.org/en/about/governance/board-duties/ If you have any questions about Board duties, or the election process, also don't hesitate to contact the elections committee via inkscape.elections.committee@...3261... . Thank you! Regards, Maren Hachmann

vpaint - new revolutionary open source vector animation technology - github+ demos
by Todor Imreorov 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

What is vpaint: VPaint is an experimental vector graphics editor based on the Vector Animation Complex (VAC), a technology developed by a collaboration of researchers at Inria and the University of British Columbia, featured at SIGGRAPH 2015. It allows you to create resolution-independent illustrations and animations using innovative techniques. it is open source and it has a solution to some of current vector graphic's biggest flaws. See video here: https://youtu.be/NdQFAMe7TlY It also has tweening capabilities, which makes it incredibly powerful as a 2d animation tool: https://youtu.be/Xk1_CugdytI Website: http://www.vpaint.org/ github: https://github.com/dalboris/vpaint Available for windows, linux and mac Posting this with the hope that some of inkscape's developers could look into a way to integrate some of the features into inkscape.
