Code cleanup in trunk
by Johan Engelen 23 Jul '14

Hi Markus, Thanks for the code cleanups in trunk. One comment: please be careful in removing nullptr checks in trunk. Although they look unnecessary, we really don't want to (re-)add bugs. In rev 13460, you removed a this == nullptr check. It's terrible code, I agree. The problem is that some other bad code may still rely on that check. I'm not saying that's the case for that particular piece of code, but I'd rather not remove such checks in trunk until after release. Small tip for people bughunting, "this" in a class method can be nullptr. A call through nullptr to non-virtual method will happily pass. Because we changed code like f(SPFoo *g) { if (!g) return; to Foo::f() { if (!this) return; you may see a check on "this" in the code. If you are sure that all callers make sure the object is not nullptr, you can remove the check in experimental. thanks, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] GSOC status report - Better support for SVG paints

New functions were added to the swatches dialog. The most important is the ability to modify swatches. A swatch properties dialog was added. When a swatch in "current document" category is selected, "swatch properties" option is active. After clicking it a dialog appears. It is possible to change swatch name. Technically it is stored in title child element. Swatch preview is displayed at the bottom of the dialog. Depending on swatch type different controls can be displayed. For colors a color notebook widget is used to change swatch value [1]. Pattern attributes can be changed using attribute table widget [2]. Gradient support has been added. Gradients having a gradient vector defined are displayed in swatches panel [3]. The user can apply gradient to existing object. It is linear by default. An exception to this is applying gradient to an object with existing radial one. All pattern types can be chosen when no item is selected on canvas. In this case newly created items will receive selected style.

I fully agree. Especially when solid colors, gradients and patterns are equally treated as swatches. My first mockups from this project included a modified fill and stroke interface [1]. They were rejected and replaced by integration of pattern preview widget in a fill and stroke tab. At those time, the mockups didn't involve the swatches dialog. Do you think this idea is worth considering again?

Got it working now. I'm not sure if I fixed this or someone else. The news article was set to be published, but the publish time was future in my timezone. I moved it back 6hrs and the link on the homepage works for me now. (This also messed up the RSS feed until the link began to work again.) --Jared > > Message: 3 > Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:46:52 -0700 (PDT) > From: alvinpenner <penner@...1856...> > Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape 0.48.5 Released > To: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net > Message-ID: <1405723612463-4971012.post@...2730...> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > glad to hear it! > > just writing to note that, on the site: > http://www.inkscape.org/en/news/2014/07/ > > the link that says "Inkscape 0.48.5 Released" does not work. > > Alvin

two new icons propose
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Hi to all. Because GTK declare obsolete "yes" and "no" icons, and "accept" and "cancel" icons are handled by his label -so you can not change his label to a custom text i think-, I propose the creation of two icons in the icon files of inkscape. I want particulary to use in the new LPE parameter "Toggle Button", now is used in experimental branch -Simplify LPE-. For this LPE I'm using "system-run" and "process-stop" GTK default icons, but i think is better a toogled button for example like bullets here[1]. http://www.inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/ Any problem to add it? I could do it but maybe we can ask for on inkscape-user list. Regards, Jabier.

The Windows installer is up at sourceforge.net, and the tarballs are at Launchpad. We still need the portable version and the Mac bundle before we can announce the new release. Anyone up for it? Regards, Krzysztof

Josh, I tested the OS X package on two Mavericks systems yesterday and they seemed to work great. I tried it on a Snow Leopard system today with a good install. Thanks! Initially the load time for the newly installed version seems to take 2-3 minutes, but subsequent loads are under a minute. --Jared
