Showing patches in "About Inkscape"
by mathog 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Would anybody else find it helpful if "about inkscape" showed a list of all the patches that were applied? Not the ones that were committed to trunk, but the ones that are still in play, so to speak. At any given time I have several that have been submitted but have not yet been checked on OSX and then committed. Or they fell through the cracks for some other reason and were never committed, or have not yet been posted. The mixture that are present in any given build may vary, and diffing the patch files to see what is what is not fun. That said, I'm not at all sure how one would coerce bzr and patch to allow this. Presumably there would be a "patches.cpp" containing text something like: ... "this patch", "that patch", ... and each patch would stick a name in there to identify itself. Before commit, just remove the patch specific for "patches.cpp". I suspect patch might get awfully confused by that file. It would probably be easier to apply the patches through a script so that: ./apply_patch.sh for_this.patch would take the file name and automagically edit it into the file, while dropping the "bzr diff" generated path TO "patches.cpp". Just a thought, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Website: News Creation and Translation
by Martin Owens 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Dear Developer and Translators, The inkscape website has some new functionality to create, edit, delete and translate news articles. If you can, I'd like you to help test the functionality over on http://staging.inkscape.org/news/ and find any issues and wrinkles before the new functions are pushed to the live website. Let me know the issues here on the mailing list rather than on the bug tracker so I can keep the bugs for live issues. If you don't see any buttons, it's because you must be logged into the website and you must have the required permissions. Let me know here when you're testing and I'll enable your staging account to have permissions. Thanks to everyone who's helped push improvements in the website :-) I hope we'll have a couple more people working on website functionality in the coming months. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Email Notifications for Merge Requests
by Martin Owens 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

One item on the todo list at LGM was getting better notifications about when merge requests come in. This answer shows how to set this up with mailman: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28757/for-my-project-in-launchpad-how-do-i-s… It requires an administrator for the inkscape project to set the branch reviewer to our mailing list account. First, is this action a good idea? Do we want some emails to our list about merge requests? Second, is this the best technique? It could be done via a cron script and liblaunchpad too. And thirdly, any project admins have the time to configure the mailing list and the project to set this up for us? Thanks for your time, Best Regards, Martin Owens

Ellipse to path
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 09 Apr '14

Hi to all. I have a problem if I convert a ellipse to path. The path value have a "d" value. It render ok, but if you move a node and come back to original position the "d" property of the path is diferent. It give me some problems accessing to the Geom::CubicBezier of the original path segment, it give me a false cubic segment. Here are the "d" values after and before node-> key up -> key down: Just converted to path (straight segments with Geom::CubicBezier): m 148.5715,1206.648 a 417.1429,374.2857 0 0 1 -417.1429,374.286 417.1429,374.2857 0 0 1 -417.1429,-374.286 417.1429,374.2857 0 0 1 417.1429,-374.2858 417.1429,374.2857 0 0 1 417.1429,374.2858 z Node up-down m 148.5715,1206.648 c 1e-4,99.267 -43.9487,194.468 -122.17821,264.66 -78.22948,70.192 -184.33149,109.626 -294.96469,109.626 -110.6332,0 -216.7352,-39.434 -294.9647,-109.626 -78.2295,-70.192 -122.1783,-165.393 -122.1782,-264.66 0,-99.267 43.9488,-194.468 122.1783,-264.66 78.2295,-70.1922 184.3314,-109.6258 294.9646,-109.6258 110.6332,0 216.73514,39.4336 294.96461,109.6258 78.22949,70.192 122.17829,165.393 122.17829,264.66 z Thanks in advance, Jabier.

New LPE envelope-perspective
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Hi. I create a new branch[1] with an LPE to apply envelope or perspective to a object by 4 points. Perspective, is migrated from original extension from Dmitry Platonov/Aaron Spike to C++. Envelope is created by the compose function '2dsb2d' and based in Lattice/lattice2 code Both are managed only by a simple 4 point parameters. If want envelope with curve deformation, you can use this LPE's, the built-in "Envelope Deformation" or "Lattice2"[2] New LPE envelope-perspective: [1]https://code.launchpad.net/~jabiertxof/inkscape/envelope-perspective Lattice2 [2]https://code.launchpad.net/~inktxof/inkscape/lattice2 Regards, Jabier.

Help with "ghost" object after cloning
by Johan Engelen 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi all, I am trying to fix this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1299461 What I see is some weird behaviour. It seems a "ghost" object is lingering around after creating a clone. What I see is that after cloning a path, every change to that path now triggers /two/ calls to SPPath::set. The second call is on an SPObject with no id set (getId() == null), but it's repr points to the original path (1st path id == 2nd path->getRepr()->attribute("id")). This second object is triggering an LPE calculation before everything is set up correctly, leading to the bug reported. I don't know how this ghost object arises, and I believe it should be killed. At the very least it is triggering duplicate operations; and at worst, it bugs normal operation. thanks for some help, Johan

HSL values
by Not Telling 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi everyone, Just a suggestion for development of Inkscape, I notice using it that HSV values are in range of [0,256) and I just wanted to suggest that this be corrected. Basically, because "hue" numbers are an angle in the HSV colourspace hexagon/circle, hue should be out of 360 Also, "saturation" and "value" numbers are percentages, so having them out of 256 doesn't really make any sense from a conceptual point of view. Cheers, Binderbound

Object Module
by Jelle Mulder 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hello Manuel, If I understand you correctly, what you want to achieve is some kind of object management tool in which you can select objects by their ID tag and do things with them, like change attributes or style, rename them, walk the object tree by expanding it, add events, etc. If it is anything like the object manager you can find in Coreldraw for instance I think that would be a great addition. It could also serve as an alternative display for the XML editor that displays the file structure and nested objects by tag name rather than ID. It would be nice if for instance you could select an object (such as a group) by ID (using a filter for instance with reg exp. or part of the ID name) and then have them show as selected in the drawing on the canvas. It would also allow for objects in the defs to be found more easily and maybe bring them to the body by just dragging them. It would also make for an interesting option if for instance filters, gradients and fills in the defs could be displayed in a list with a simple representation. Using the symbol tool for example code would show how to create the displays of those. Filters probably being the more difficult as they won't display anything without a background, so for each of those a primitive background would need to be defined. If that could be extended with an option to open an external file next to it as to drag and drop elements by either <use> or copy to the file being edited, you'd have created a real power tool. Or am I now getting too free in my interpretation of what you mean to create ;-) Cheers, Jelle On Sun, 06 Apr 2014 09:22:08 +0800, <inkscape-devel-request(a)lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Message: 5 > Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2014 21:21:59 -0400 > From: Manuel Hiciano <networkhiciano@...400...> > Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] INKSCAPE > To: Alexandre Prokoudine <alexandre.prokoudine@...400...>, > Inkscape-Devel List <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, > Inkscape-devel-request(a)lists.sourceforge.net > Message-ID: > <CAFirjRAOENv159rX4VCfdOg0iqJ93S8cTzwysLbNO8ennptjCw@...401...> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > what I would like is to add modules that allow you to work on something > specific, in this case draw outside plant telephone, which allows you to > draw lines, utility poles, booths, terminals, etc..
