Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape native OSX builds
by Jared Meidal 16 Apr '14

I'm working in a multiplatform environment. If you need any help with Mac OS testing (10.9, 10.6), I would be happy to help with beta testing. I love seeing native build screenshots and the Mac OS theme integrated. --Jared > -----Original Message----- > Message: 6 > Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:58:37 -0700 > From: Alex Buchanan <buchanae@...400...> > Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape native OSX builds > To: su_v <suv-sf@...58...> > Cc: Inkscape <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> > Message-ID: > <CA+rZ+czbmvRu+oHf_JKWu=7Ttn05OJ51SskuoD-=- > TS4O0QQVw@...401...> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > In my experience, it's a bad idea to pile on a bunch of complex changes at > the last minute.

anybody else having "debug" output problems?
by mathog 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Recently DEBUG statements of the type: std::cout << "DEBUG message" <<std::endl; have started acting up. They are not coming out on the console when they are executed, and if they do show up, they all come out in a bunch at the end when the program exits, concatenated to each other (no line breaks). Anybody else seeing that? It seems to have started doing this about the time the Unable to find: DialogGridArrange console message appeared on startup. Possibly it might be related to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7019454/why-does-stdcout-output-disappea… Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176...

Hi mathog, +all If you check the TDM MINGW GCC download page for the used gcc compiler http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download you will see that you have to choose between: - GCC base files & C support — SJLJ exceptions.and - GCC base files & C support — DW2 exceptions. If you choose the later one your application depends on ligcc_s_dw2-1.dll as well (and not the libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll) Inkscape should be compiled using SJLJ stack unwinding. I checked the WIKI about that point if the wiki akes a clear statement which compiler to use. Unfortunatelly I do not see a clear <use this mingw version>. If someone can help clarifying this point.?

Unit-related regressions

Hello The bug tracker has lots of fairly severe items related to the viewbox-based unit support, for example these: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1236257 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1235279 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1235279 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1244861 Is there some kind of plan for dealing with those?

next release and import pdf via poppler-cairo
by the Adib 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

If I sumarize the last messages about the poppler-cairo pdf import: - the method is usefull as well as the original native poppler import, - there should not two different menu items for importing the same file format I will then continue and check how to merge the poppler-cairo functionality into the native dialogue in order to import via poppler-cairo. This will be a checkbox option. If choosen poppler-cairo import all other options will be disabled. Does this makes sense? regards, Adib. --

New LPE: Simplify
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Hi to all, just developed a new path effect called "simplify". The code is on https://code.launchpad.net/~jabiertxof/inkscape/simplify It simplify a path or group. Think give more control to the standar simplify command (Ctrl+L), because the "fixed" value threshold is modificable, so you can fine tune a lot the simplify. I also add a optional helper path with the generated nodes and or handles to "know" the result path. Feedback are welcome. Regards, Jabier.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-translator] Website: News Creation and Translation

Hi everyone, Thanks for the testing from various people. The bugs and corner casses (rss feeds, editing flow etc) have been fixed and I've pushed the news to the live website. I've also fixed the data on live as translations needed to be 'attached' to their parent document to be true translations in the new mechanism. Thanks for all your help guys, if anyone needs assistance with translating news, let me know.
