Symmetry Tool
by Tom Lechner 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Is anyone out there secretly working on the symmetry-tool branch? I've tried to compile recently, but it seems to be suffering some bit rot. I'm working through errors, but for the moment I'm stumped on what seems to be a lot of c style object code from the general src breaking compilation. Any hints? -Tom ----- tomlechner.com

Menu option for web pages.
by john Culleton 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

The one major item that is available in html5 that I miss in Inkscape 48.4 is the drop down menu feature. I can emulate it of course with a second (third etc.) copy of the entire index.svg page with the menu dropped down. It would be cool however if I could overlay the first page with a smaller page consisting of just the menu items, live of course. Any thoughts on this? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Unfinished features for 0.91?
by Bryce Harrington 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Because we're now in the Chill phase of the release cycle, I need to inquire as to the status of any unfinished features for the 0.91 release. We still have ample time before the release, but what we want is for any feature that will take more than a month or two to reach full maturity, to be postponed for a future release. If you're working on a feature which you, or someone else, may legitimately consider to be not "release ready", please let me know asap. Bryce

Inkscape 0.48.5 (again!)
by Alex Valavanis 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello All, It's great that we're moving forward with 0.91, but I still think there's merit in pushing a quick bugfix release. There are a lot of high-importance bugs fixed in the 0.48.x branch [1] including a number of build-failures on current linux distros and OS X. There are currently only six backport proposals remaining [2]. Are there any other known issues preventing us from pushing the release?

Removing a property entirely from a style list?
by mathog 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi, I have been experimenting with adding text-decoration control to the "Text and Font" dialog. It is working (crudely) except I have not yet figured out how to remove the text-decorate property from a "style". That is, to go from: style="text-decoration: underline wavy #ffff00;fill:#ffff00;stroke:#006400" to style="fill:#ffff00;stroke:#006400" To add this property, or to modify it, this works: sp_repr_css_set_property(css, "text-decoration", td_full_string); and these work: sp_repr_css_set_property(css, "text-decoration", "none"); sp_repr_css_set_property(css, "text-decoration", "inherit"); putting "text-decoration: none" and "text-decoration: inherit" in the style. But while this looks like it should have eliminated any mention of text-decoration from the style: sp_repr_css_unset_property(css, "text-decoration"); it only succeeded in moving the existing text-decoration from wherever it was to the end of the style. In the file src/xml/repr-css.cpp it says that that unset function sets "inkscape:unset" for that property. Is something else (that I need to modify?) supposed to see that and then really delete the property? Is there an sp_repr_css_remove_property() somewhere that I have not found?

Hi, It appears that Google will fund up to $500 US for travel (airplane/train/bus) expenses to send some 2013 GSoC students to LGM[1] in Leipzig (April 2nd-5th). Students, if you are interested, please fill out the form at: http://goo.gl/NgKei4 Hotel/meal expenses will not be covered but there are cheap hostels near the meeting site. Google will not be funding mentor travel. Tav NB. There is currently a cut/paste error on the form. Accommodations in Phnom Penh are not being provided! [1] http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2014/

External CSS support
by Jelle Mulder 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hello Bruno, Having been in China for quite a while I understand the situation you're in using low bandwidth. It would be way cool to have external style sheet support in Inkscape and something that has been on my wish list for quite a while, so please continue. Even if it's ugly coding and creates a performance hit when loading Inkscape, I think it would be worthwhile to have it. Maybe using a switch in the prefs to turn it on or off, for performance improvement. Added to that is another question. How feasible would it be to use the external style sheet support code you're currently making to do the same for external <USE xlink:href="file.svg#objectID"/> ? I have the idea that it would be pretty similar in scope, reading data from file and changing style attributes for CSS and reading and adding SVG code to the SVG code in memory (leaving the file code alone). If it isn't too much work, could you experiment with it a little to see how feasible it is? It would kill two BIG flies in one go if it would work and greatly increase the productivity of Inkscape as an authoring tool. You'd certainly be one of my hero's if you can make this work in Inkscape. I can also imagine Tav's Symbol tool to increase usability by using external links to symbol files rather than embedding them into the code like it currently does, but that would be food for 0.92 I guess. Last but not least would be an option to save all linked content into a single whopper of a file and an option to export all style info and <use> objects to external files. Hmm,.. you cannot prevent me from dreaming now can you? Cheers, Jelle Mulder

2geom update
by Johan Engelen 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi all, I updated our copy of 2geom to its trunk version. Not much has changed, so you should not notice it really. There were some bug fixes, warning fixes and file/class rename (SVG path parsing). I hope I correctly modified the Makefile so it does not cause build failures. regards, Johan
