Reverting r13045
by Johan Engelen 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Hi Martin, I'm sorry, I will revert commit 13045. 1. It contains a memleak realpath allocates new memory if the second argument is NULL. In the added code, this memory is never freed. 2. Breaks build on Windows (realpath(...) not found) 3. Please don't add functions that use C-strings unnecessarily. Simply rewrite parseDataUri to parseDataUri(const std::string &uri), and use C++'s string methods. ("#include <cstring.h>" is a huge red flag upon code review) 4. Please read this about "realpath" http://insanecoding.blogspot.ch/2007/11/pathmax-simply-isnt.html regards, Johan PS. (not related to commit) uri.cpp has a lot of "throw(BadURIException)", you can remove those as "throw(...)" don't add anything and will become obsolete in C++11.

When and where are copied selections released during program exit?
by mathog 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

The topic pretty much says it all. I'm curious because valgrind output, already awash with style.cpp lines, picks up some new code points in that source file if one does: open file, select, copy, exit as compared to open file, exit Possibly items left on the clipboard? On a related note, is there a debugging facility already in Inkscape that logs to stdout or a file messages when SPObject objects are created, referenced, dereferenced, and destroyed? Something like: + 0x12345678 objectype1 # created at that address + 0x22345678 objectype2 ^ 0x12345678 0x22345678 # referenced by object at the second address (memory pointer) x 0x12345678 0x22345678 # dereferenced by object at the second address - 0x22345678 objectype2 # destroyed - 0x12345678 objectype1 That is pretty primitive but it would at least provide a simple way to follow these sorts of activities, which is otherwise pretty painful to do using gdb. I'm not sure how to fit signals into this log, but that would be helpful too. I'm not so sure this is possible since it tends to go through intervening functions, but something along these lines maybe? R+ 0x12345678 signaltype1 # register a signal this object responds to S+ 0x12345678 signaltype2 # register a signal this object can send < 0x12345678 signaltype1 # object received signal > 0x12345678 signaltype2 # object sent signal R- 0x12345678 signaltype1 # deregister a signal this object responds to S- 0x12345678 signaltype2 # deregister a signal this object can send Scripts could then be used to make some sort of graphic or other analysis, which would help visualize what is going on inside Inkscape.

SPEventContext
by Arshdeep Singh 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hello all, I was cleaning up my branch of last year's GSoC project - Recolor Artwork. I was using a piece of code that involved SPEventContext but this doesn't compile anymore. I guess the structure was cppified by another GSoCer: Markus Engel. Well, I can't get around to how to use the alternate Event structure now. Can someone shed some light on it ? The piece of code that didn't compile was: void RecolorArtworkWidget::eventContextCB(SPDesktop * /*desktop*/, SPEventContext * /*eventcontext*/) { performUpdate(); } -- Arshdeep Singh Final Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home

Python update
by unknown＠example.com 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hello everyone, I develop a set of extensions for Python. In my opinion, the extensions are easy to develop, great and powerful tool, widening the usability of Inkscape that help spread the Inkscape among users. Because of the need for GUI and websocket client, I've updated the version of Python in the Inkscape to 2.7 and added PyQt4 and ws4py libraries. All features has been tested on Windows. Now I would like to ask, whether there is a possibility to make this version a standard version included in the instalation of Inkscape? Eventually what steps are required to switch the Python version in the standard distribution of Inkscape? I can provide you the list of all steps, that have to be done to update the Python version for Windows and offer closer cooperation by making this change. I believe, this change would make the possibilities of the extensions even better, especially the possibility of having graphical user interface, which is easy to made. Best regards Lubomir =

Inkscape circuit love ;)
by saar drimer 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Hello Inkscape devs. In the past I've mentioned PCBmodE, an open source circuit design software I've written that uses Inkscape as its GUI (sort of). More here: https://bitbucket.org/boldport/pcbmode A few days ago I've released my first official product that includes a board I've made with PCBmodE (and Inkscape!) http://boldport.tictail.com/product/the-tiny-engineer-superhero-emergency-k… http://boldport.com/boards/emergency/index.html I'll be donating 50p to the Inkscape Fund for each unit from the first batch of 300 that sells. Inkscape has been an integral part of creating this product (PCB and print design), and I'd like to give back to you developers for the great work and effort you've been putting into this software! I'm writing this to you in the hope that you'd be interested in this story (and perhaps PCBmodE and product) but mainly to hear feedback. All the best, saar.

viewBox and preserveAspectRatio
by Tavmjong Bah 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hi, A heads-up... While mucking about the code I noticed that the same basic code to handle viewBox and preserveAspectRatio appeared in multiple files (8 times?) having originally been pasted directly or copied with some changes. Overtime the code was tweaked here and there. I have created a new base class to handle viewBox and preserveAspectRatio and modified sp-root, sp-symbol, sp-image, sp-pattern, and marker to use the new class, resulting in a reduction of over 400 lines of code (yeah!). In the process, I've fixed a number of issues with using percentage based x, y, width, and height values. Please let me know if you find any problems. Tav

Mac OS X Mountain Lion x86_64 packaging of 0.48.4
by Valerio Aimale 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hello, I am not an official packager, but I was eager to have an updated version of Inkscape for Mac OS X and I noticed that nobody is packaging the new version. I've packaged it for Mountain Lion and x86_64. It should be considered a beta packaging. I've packaged from version 0.48+devel r12005 You can download it at: https://rapidshare.com/files/3885726044/Inkscape_MountainLion_x86_64.dmg The Mac Os X packaging infrastructure in the source tree is a bit ancient. Things I've noticed: - configure.ac uses syntax that is not conforming anymore with autoconf/automake/authohear 1.13. Going forward that should be updated. - the scripts osx-build.sh os-app.sh needs update for the newest Xcode versions. they don't work out of the box. - the dylib base relocation infrastructure needed to be rewritten - the Platypus-derived ScriptExec executable might not be needed anymore - in this version, the app bundle executes the sh script directly. Features: - The version I packaged runs gtk-2.0+quartz. It does not need X11/Xquartz anymore to run. This is the direction GIMP has gone to as well. - It uses the same theme as GIMP. I think it's a good consistency decision, and it's the theme that looks best on Mtn Lion. If somebody want to try and report problems, I'd appreciate it Valerio
