New contributor (we have new code!) that we need to help
by Josh Andler 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hey all, I submitted a new "report" based around a patch submitted from the primary developer of Ponyscape (an Inkscape derivative project focused on making life easier for artists interested in creating My Little Pony fan art). Check out the first new patch he has submitted upstream at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1157024 I've talked with him a bit and he's really doing some good work at a rapid pace, but as we know, we don't have the same leeway upstream to add features that may change on a regular basis. So, he sees Ponyscape as a good testing ground to let things have some time to mature and ripen and then he will submit patches upstream. He also doesn't want to step on any toes or anything. That first patch is for a long awaited feature. If others would be willing to test and do some code review, it will help us to establish a tighter relationship with Ted. He's already met the 2 patch requirement and has commit access, but he really wants feedback and to get things right before stuff is committed. My guess is with the amount of divergence and level of changes he makes, this patch vs direct commit paradigm might be around for a while (he has a lot of irons in the fire for new/improved features). My view is that I don't mind doing this side of things provided other devs will be willing to help test and give feedback. Cheers, Josh

First window opens at UL corner of screen (Linux)?
by mathog 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

One of my test machines is Ubuntu 12.04. Workt there id done remotely, over an SSH tunnel to a Cygwin X11 server, which is running on Windows XP. Whenever a new Inkscape window opens on that linux box (not the pop ups, but the first start and new document windows) that window is placed with its upper left corner exactly at the upper left corner of the screen. As a consequence the top and left parts of the window frame are off the screen. This is inconvenient since it puts the majority of the frame controls where they cannot be accessed. (Clicking once on the bottom of the frame shifts it down a couple of pixels, but that is a very inconvenient thing to have to do for every window.) Windows builds do not do this - the whole frame is within the screen when a window opens. Is the behavior seen on linux the result of some munged up configuration on my one machine, or is that what Inkscape is supposed to do on a linux/unix/OS X environment? If so, could the default start position maybe be changed to be 5 pixels down and to the right, so that there is at least a sliver of the top and side frame available to grab?

Spirolive+BSpline widgets ready
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi to all. A branch of Spirolive+BSpline is release, changes are: *pencil BSpline mode fixed. *fix crash making cusp nodes whith the node toolbar or shortcut *fix crash when apply BSpline to grpups *right click to close curve dont show menu when are just over the last point *double click on handle to reset default (SBasis point at 33.3334). *snap/steps moving handles with CTRL parametriced by widget. *button widget to reset to defaults *checkbox widget to ignore cusp node when change widgets *scalar widget to change the weight of the bsplines TODO: I couldent update the widget weight value when pressing reset default button, the curve change, the new value of the parameter is saved but the visible value not change, you need to unselect/select the item or unselect/select the BSpline item in lpe list to update. Whith node tool this problem not sucedd. Thanks to ~suv and Johan Engelen to make posibol this updates. Feedback are welcome! lp:~jabiertxof/inkscape/0.49.x+SpiroLive+BSpline

node operations
by Bric 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi, (1) Is there any progress on being able to highlight just a subset of nodes and extract that subset as a path? (paste as a separate, "stand-alone" path) (I realize the algorithm may not be straightforward — particularly if one makes some crazy non-continuous node selection — like, selecting every third node (rather than a subpath with all its consecutive nodes), but maybe there's already some default, "make-the-best-guess" function which would take a bunch of such nodes and figure out which ones are sequenced and how (and link them into a path), based on the parent sequences, and for those that it can't figure that out, just leave them disconnected/isolated, and let the user connect them afterwards) (2) alignment operators: it would be nice to be able to align node A to node B. Or, IOW, stipulate that A move to B (its vertical or horizontal value), but B itself not move. Or aligning a set of nodes — A,B,C to node D, where node D doesn't move. (As I understand it now, the vertical/horizontal align function positions all the nodes to some type of averaged value ? )

bunch of pango-warning messages on Windows associated with new(er) devlibs
by mathog 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Upgraded today from devlibs 41 to 45. Rebuilt. When inkscape starts up on windows now it emits the bushel of warnings shown below. Only the last one (about the registry key, which is harmless) is familiar to me. All of the font related ones seem to have come in somewhere between devlibs 41 and 45. These do not appear when a linux build starts, and I know that most of these fonts are not present on my linux test system. How do we make these messages go away? Note, I looked in C:\Windows\Fonts and these messages correspond to font files shown there with a big "A" icon and having the file extension ".FON". These are bitmap fonts which are, I believe, only present for backwards compatibility, in case one needs to run a W95 program or something like that. Apparently these messages tell us that Pango has no idea how to open a .FON file. Surely there is no reason to tell us that over and over though! Is there not some pango configuration parameter that would cause it to ignore files found in the font directory which are not types it knows how to handle?

build errors since last bzr update - new dependency on autopoint
by mathog 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

For branch lp988601 today doing bzr revert bzr update The build procedure was broken: make CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/bash /usr/local/src/inkscape_lp988601/missing --run aclocal-1.11 cd . && /bin/bash /usr/local/src/inkscape_lp988601/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign configure.ac:19: required directory ./build-aux does not exist configure.ac:64: required file `build-aux/compile' not found configure.ac:64: `automake --add-missing' can install `compile' configure.ac:20: required file `build-aux/config.guess' not found configure.ac:20: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.guess' configure.ac:176: required file `build-aux/config.rpath' not found configure.ac:20: required file `build-aux/config.sub' not found configure.ac:20: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.sub' configure.ac:22: required file `build-aux/install-sh' not found configure.ac:22: `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh' configure.ac:38: required file `build-aux/ltmain.sh' not found configure.ac:22: required file `build-aux/missing' not found configure.ac:22: `automake --add-missing' can install `missing' share/palettes/Makefile.am:34: foreach i,$(palettes_i18n: non-POSIX variable name share/palettes/Makefile.am:34: (probably a GNU make extension) src/Makefile.am: required file `build-aux/depcomp' not found src/Makefile.am: `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp' make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 Which did not tell me much, so tried ./autogen.sh and that complained about not having "autopoint". OK, install it, even though I have no idea what it might be needed for: apt-get install autopoint ./autogen.sh and autogen.sh ran to completion. Now make works again make clean make The latter is building now, will not know for an hour or so if it succeeds. Conclusion - some change in trunk (merged into lp988601) added a dependency on autopoint. The man page for it says: autopoint - copies standard gettext infrastructure Why do we need that now when we didn't before? Regards, David Mathog mathog@...1176...
