Rendering cache committed
by Krzysztof Kosiński 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hello I committed the rendering cache work in revision 10579 of trunk. If you encounter serious problems, you can turn off caching completely by defining the environment variable _INKSCAPE_DISABLE_CACHE. For example, run inkscape as: $ _INKSCAPE_DISABLE_CACHE=1 inkscape By default, each drawing will use up to 64 MB of memory for rendering data. It can be set in the "Rendering" page of the preferences (renamed from "Filters"). As usual, problem reports are welcome. Regards, Krzysztof

Hi All, Am I missing something... I can't see anything that includes the "sp-color-gtkselector.h" header. Anyone know what's going on here? Cheers, AV

Report from the GSOC mentor's conference
by Tavmjong Bah 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi all, I have just gotten back from attending the Google Summer of Code (GSoc) mentor's meeting at Google's headquarters. It was quite interesting to here about other groups experiences with the program. My major conclusion from attending the conference is that Inkscape is not taking full advantage of the GSoC program. Almost everybody at the conference knew about and used Inkscape. This is in contrast to many of the other groups that I had never heard of. Given our popularity, our group of core developers seems very small. I thinks that this is perhaps why we are under-performing in GSoC; we just don't have the people to do a good job of preparing for the program. Here are some things I picked up: * Recruitment: We should be starting now! Most successful students have already had some significant experience with the software they will work on. Our two-patch rule is a good step in this direction but is probably not enough. * Application: We should have an application form with questions that test passion and competence. Here are some sample questions from other groups: - What computer do you use? - What editor do you use? - What code have you written? - Do you use IRC, mailing lists? - Do you have a mentor in mind? Have you contacted them? - Provide a time line for your work. - How well do you know Inkscape? Include a drawing you have made. - What vacations/exams will overlap with the GSOC period? Indirect questions work best. The "Why do you want to work for us?" questions aren't very useful. The application should test the ability to read and follow instructions. * Coding period: Require frequent and public discussions. Public discussions work best as then there are multiple people who can answer questions. Some groups have two mentors for each project. This is especially helpful when time-zone issues make communication difficult. Require frequent commits. It is important to gauge a student's progress as well as insure the quality of the code. A number of projects use websites that allow easy commenting on the code by reviewers: http://codereview.stackexchange.com/ github has code review built in Weekly status reports. Merge code for final pass. Be tough!! * Links to a few other projects: https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/student_application_form.h… https://drupal.org/node/59037 http://www.di.ens.fr/~baghdadi/TXT_blog/5_advices_to_get_your_proposal_acce… Tav

Compiling on Windows
by Arshdeep Singh 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hello all, Just curious about whether anyone recently setup inkscape on Windows 7 ? I am following the instructions on the wiki, to no avail. Build tool successfully builds the application but the inkscape.exe invokes nothing on being run. -- demicoder

Reverting devlibs updates
by Nicolas Dufour 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Hi all, Unfortunately the recent changes in the devlibs have introduced major regressions when opening and saving files on win32. I've just reverted the changes in Inkscape revision 11820 and uncommitted the devlibs r36 (the new stable revision is thus r35). Details in https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-devlibs/+bug/1069806 If someone has clues on how to solve it, it would be very helpful. Regards, -- Nicolas

Build on Windows, .exe not running
by Arshdeep Singh 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

I followed the instructions to build inkscape on Windows (in my case Windows 7 Home). The build process was successful.The 'inkscape' folder formed in the repo directory contains the .exe (executable) inkscape.exe, which fails to run despite the build process finishing without errors. The busy sandtimer cursor shows but no application is launched. Even the task manager does not show any process of the name inkscape during the time the sandtimer shows. Question: a.) Is it necessary to make an installer to be able to run the inkscape application ? b.)If not the above case, has anyone faced such a situation ? Thanks. -- demicoder

Powerstroke wrap-up
by Johan Engelen 21 Oct '12

21 Oct '12

Hi all, I've lost track of all the problems with powerstroke. Please send me again the bugs you have found (with a test file!) or the UI ideas we definitely need for release. I have been working on "extrapolate by arcs matching path curvature", but I think it will take me too long to make that work reliably before release. There are still too many bumps along that road... I've committed the code, but it is disabled. Thanks a bunch! Johan
