Launchpad Administrator changes for Inkscape
by Bryce Harrington 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

The Launchpad administration team for Inkscape handles commit access requests, and various other duties on the launchpad website. We keep the team limited to six people, which means adding a new admin requires swapping with one of the others. Ted Gould has decided to step back from the team, and allow Krzysztof to take on adminship. Welcome Krzysztof, and many thanks Ted for your service! Bryce P.S. a few other admins are due to renew membership in October; if they choose not to renew, then we may need to ask for volunteers to fill those slots. I will follow up later if this is the case.

SPGenericEllipse "d" attribute
by Tomasz Boczkowski 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hi all, While fixing bug #1227193 i have encoutered strange behaviour of SPGenericEllipse. When a new ellipse is drawn, the "d" attribute in corresponding svg:path element is set by SPGenericEllipse::write and contains arcs. However in SPGenericEllipse::update_patheffect, triggered by document idle handler, "d" attribute is regenerated from SPCurve and has other value. Instead of two arcs there are four curve elements. I would like to address this issue. Since those are my first steps in inkscape development, I have some quesions. 1) Should I add arcto method to SPCurve and make both SPGeneralEllipse methods generate the same "d" attribute value? 2) Why there are two different methods that generate "d" attribute value? Should one of them (sp_arc_set_elliptical_path_attribute or sp_svg_write_path call in update_patheffect) be removed? 3) Should static function sp_arc_set_elliptical_path_attribute be c++-fied to private member method? Regards, Tomasz Boczkowski

Hi guys! On saturday i commited merge of last big part of my GSoC project. It included a lot of fixes, procedural templates support and example of a procedural template (Empty Page). Right now, I'm working on updating wiki pages related to my project. Of course, if anyone of you has any suggestions for fixes or cleanups related to things I've been working on, I'll be glad to include them after the GSoC. Thanks for this cool experience, I hope to have time to still contribute to this project after summer is over. Slagvi, Jan Darowski

I believe it is a matter of taking pixman/cairo (unreleased) version 1.13 (right?) making sure we have that available in our package and making sure our builds require it. > > Has anyone talked about doing an alpha release?

Technically every version of Inkscape so far has been alpha. No v1.0 because we're not feature complete. And I'd also hazard that the trunk build ppa system is equivalent to an alpha build. What perhaps we need is a mellow freeze and a beta release. Thoughts? Martin,

Removal Of Objects from Selection
by Arshdeep Singh 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

How can I keep track of objects being removed from the selection ? [ I have been digging through the desktop.cpp/inkscape.cpp/selection.cpp files and couldn't find any noteworthy construct that let me do it. ] Also, if I bubbled up signal emission, how can that be achieved ? If widget A contains B which contains C. So I want "released" signal of A to be invoked when "released" signal of C is invoked. How can I do that ? -- Arshdeep Singh Third Year, Computer Engineering Delhi Technological University Ph: +91-9654115614 https://sites.google.com/site/adsingh1729/home

Two Week Status
by Martin Owens 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hey Devs, Two weeks ago I sent a message asking about a new Inkscape release. Over the past two weeks, we've managed to close the vast majority of blocking bugs and of the last 3, 2 are in progress: In Progress #850992 Top layer, Blend mode is multipy, Pattern disappear In Progress #953992 Imported pattern fill disappers while transforming Triaged #1005892 Patterns applied to text objects are blurred The other blocker is our cairo render issue, which I'm counting on the fix being delivered to our build system and making sure we have the library in our ppa/trunk ready to go. I'm wondering if I can get someone to work on this? We have 16 regressions currently reported: http://tinyurl.com/o9lq44w and I think about 2 or 3 floating in the mailing list which people are working on already. We have 56 bugs targeted to 0.49 reported: http://tinyurl.com/l3glywq and these will probably include the above bugs. It looks like our GSoC projects will take a week or three to settle and clear. Although it looks like the majority of work is in already. I think we're in great shape for a release target. I'm going to continue to work on my blocker for this week, which is #850992 and a couple of regressions. Thanks everyone, you guys are awesome. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi all, Inkscape lost its logo somehow (now displays GTK standard app logo, is what I think it is). Any other Windows devs see this? Cheers, Johan

[CAD] Status report

Hi, I made the code more useable and fixed some selection issues. Also, points can now be in groups. A point is added to a group by selecting the group (and nothing else) and shift-clicking to create the point. I am working on a UI to add one or more existing points to a group. Undo/redo does not yet work properly together with the connector context, I had one crash and the point handles do not yet get updated when undoing/redoing. I am working on this. The current code can be found at [0]. Sebastian [0] https://code.launchpad.net/~h-e-6/inkscape/connector-wip

Scalar nimeric and bar widget
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hi to all, i have in my linux box a problem with scalar numeric and bar widget. It dont respond fluid, i think because it redraws in each step instead at the end. How do we think about, for example, detect interaction and dont redraw till the end or with biger steps? Is posibol? Its a low level work for a starter developer? Hi, Jabier.
