Downloads Exception
by Martin Owens 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Devs, Launchpad have allowed my request for a downlaods size exception to expire. (which I'm not happy about) But this does leave us with an important todo item, we must find a new home for our downloads before the 0.91 release because of the very unsafe nature that sourceforge has become. We do know these things: * Launchpad can only host our windows and source packages, Max OSX is too large. * Our website would not cope with our download traffic. * We have no mirrors, official or otherwise. If you have any ideas how we can solve this problem, please discuss here. Martin Owens,

Visual Align interaction proposal
by Jared Meidal 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hi Martin, I love seeing this alignment video reemerge, I'm looking forward to easier alignment on the canvas. Thanks for pushing for good UI for this. I recently tried out the newest Paint.NET and found their manipulation UI interesting. When moving a mouse cursor out on the edge/margin of an object the courser icon changes and rotation is possible automatically. Could something like this be a consideration if you are wanting to keep the number of layers of interaction (three click-cycles) down? Perhaps moving to the margin or waving around the cursor of a selection of objects would force a hovering alignment tool to appear? Just putting this out there as if you need more ideas. (I haven't seen Fernando's attachment that was scrubbed for me in the mailing list) --Jared

0.91pre3 crash on OS X importing of graphics
by Jared Meidal 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

I'm happy to see a dmg build for 0.91! Thanks for packaging this. So far I feel it is operating in parity of performance with the 0.48.5 X-11 app I've been using. Very glad to see the performance has not digressed. However I filed a bug because of the consistent crash I receive on two Yosemite Macs when attempting to import a raster file, or copy/paste from the desktop or GIMP. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1398521 I'd like to see this be fixed before release, so happy to do any more package testing if needed. --Jared

remove of DPISWITCH extension from tunk
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 30 Nov '14

30 Nov '14

Hello i want to remove the DPISWITCH extension from trunk. Why? I find displacements problems in clip-mask, -inverse displacement-. So because we are thinking to handle the DPI on export/print... If DPI is customizable on export, maybe is a good point to allow by default 96 but a free input box. Regards.

Visual Align interaction proposal
by Fernando Cuenca Margalef 30 Nov '14

Hi folks, I've seen the nice visual alignment development, I will love it! But I find the interactionvery overloaded of buttons in the video. And I think it becames so complex and not coherent with the old functions. I send you attached an alternative proposal to implement such nice feature in next Inkscape version. Considering the simplest way and more coherent with Inkscape. Thanks to all for the great work with this amazing piece of software, Fernando

Volunteers needed: 0.91 Release Marketing
by Bryce Harrington 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Hi all, As the developers put the final touches on the 0.91 release, it's high time to plan a media blitz to get this announced to all our users. I'd like to recruit and organize a formal team to do marketing for Inkscape. This'll involve writing copy, planning announce strategies, notifying news sites, coordinating with parallel fundraising efforts, and more. We'll be organizing an online IRC meeting soon to coordinate these activities. Sound like fun? Ryan Lerch, Josh Andler, and myself are already signed on; we've been through the release announcement process before so we're old hands. But we're looking for new ideas and fresh blood, so that we can go beyond what we've achieved in the past. Interested? Reply to this email and introduce yourself! Bryce P.S. Inkscape's past marketing teams have left us a wealth of notes we can use to build from. Two items in particular: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Announcing_Releases http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Inkscape_coverage
