Question about prototype for new Keybinding GUI (was Fwd: [Bug 1036059] There are no GUI for setting keybindings )
by ~suv 16 Sep '12

16 Sep '12

Anyone interested to help with these questions about Inkscape's handling of keyboard shortcuts (and how to add files for new widgets)? Being able to switch keymap files or redefine keyboard shortcuts from within Inkscape would be a nice new feature (requested repeatedly by users)… Forwarded from <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036059>. thx, ~suv -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Bug 1036059] Re: There are no GUI for setting keybindings Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 19:19:45 -0000 From: Aapo Rantalainen <1036059@...1882...> Reply-To: Bug 1036059 <1036059@...1882...> To: suv I started to implement GUI-widget for changing keyboard bindings. Here is video of first prototype: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvdvz--L6OM There are many issues where I'm waiting for discussion, help, solution... Patch is not intented to merge as it. It is against rev-11604. a) I had problem to add new files for compilation, so this patch overwrite font-selector (randomly selected dialog/widget) b) Inkscape has some 'own' style to handle keybindings. Thus widget on my patch contains converting between 'GDK-modifier' to 'SP-modifier' and back. Is there reason to not use shortcut handling for GDK? c) Patch handles only primary keys, not secondaries. I'm not sure how they should be handled. I think there are no limit how many secondary key one action could have. d) Patch doesn't check conflicst. I.e. if key is already assigned. e) Tip text (and menus) are not updated, but new window shows new accel keys. f) It doesn't yet save modifications. Maybe the best place is end of the ~/.config/inkscape/keys/default.xml or add one more xml (user_defined.xml). g) Patch just move things in shortcuts.cpp,verbs.cpp private->public. -- So what it does: -shows (primary) keybindings of the every verbs (in _verbs) -allow keybindings to be modified ** Patch added: "keybindings_proto_001.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1036059/+attachment/3262804/+files… -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Inkscape Bug Team, which is subscribed to Inkscape. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036059 Title: There are no GUI for setting keybindings

Complete removal of libnr
by Krzysztof Kosiński 15 Sep '12

15 Sep '12

Hello all. Revision 10589 removes all trace of libnr from Inkscape's code, which was a major refactoring goal. This is a rather big change and might break various things. Here is a short summary of the changes: 1. NRRect was replaced by Geom:Rect and Geom::OptRect as appropriate. 2. NRRectL was replaced by Geom::IntRect and Geom::OptIntRect as appropriate. Note that the semantics of Geom::IntRect's contains() function for points are slightly incorrect at this time, as max() will be considered part of the rectangle even though it should not be. This doesn't cause any obvious problems for now. 3. SPItem bounding box methods were rewritten. There are now methods for bounding boxes in 3 different coordinate systems: - visualBounds(), geometricBounds(), bounds() - bounds in the item's own coord system - desktopVisualBounds(), desktopGeometricBounds(), desktopBounds() - bounds in desktop coordinate system (origin in bottom left, but user-editable in the future) - documentVisualBounds(), documentGeometricBounds(), documentBounds() - bounds in SVG coordinate system The "geometric" version returns the object bounding box as defined by SVG (does not consider stroke, filters, clipping paths, masks, etc.). The "visual" version considers all of this to return the bounds of the area affected by the object. The legacy "approximate bbox" was removed. 4. NRActiveObject was used only by SPAction. SPAction was converted to GObject and NRActiveObject listeners were replaced by signals. Some changes to verbs were made along the way. 5. nr-point-fns.h was used by some things in the gradient editor and was replaced with code using Geom::LineSegment. Regards, Krzysztof

Default Export Area
by Yann Papouin 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Hi, I'm testing trunk few times a week and for some time now, the default export area is set to "Drawing" in the export dialog when clicking on a blank part of the canvas. To my mind, it should be set to "Page" as default. Yann Papouin.

livarot stroke to path calls union?
by Shriramana Sharma 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

I noticed that when Inkscape does stroke to path of a self-overlapping stroke, it automatically does a union of the resulting filled paths because there are no overlaps after stroke to path. Trying to track this I found: src/verbs.cpp:2396: new SelectionVerb(SP_VERB_SELECTION_OUTLINE, "StrokeToPath", N_("_Stroke to Path") -> src/verbs:cpp:1073: case SP_VERB_SELECTION_OUTLINE: sp_selected_path_outline(dt); -> src/splivarot.cpp:880: sp_selected_path_outline(SPDesktop *desktop) which calls Path::Outline from src/livarot/PathOutline.cpp which calls Path::SubContractOutline. My question: Despite all this searching it is not clear to me where the livarot union function is being called. Perhaps I am missing something? Thanks. -- Shriramana Sharma

Inkscape Board/Committee Nominations
by Josh Andler 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hello Developers, I am recycling Aaron Spike's email from the last time we went through this. As many of you know, Inkscape is a member organization of the Software Freedom Conservancy ( http://sfconservancy.org/ ) and that we have a board. The board/committee consists of Josh Andler, Jon Cruz, Ted Gould, Bryce Harrington, Nathan Hurst, MenTaLguY and Aaron Spike. Bryce Harrington currently serves as the Representative (the official board representative on behalf of Inkscape to the SFC). Dr. Hurst had previously resigned his position on the board and Aaron has done so more recently. Therefore we must elect new committee members to fill the open spots. I will be collecting nominations through the weekend (ending Sunday, September 16th unless there is great desire for an extension to the nomination period). Anyone listed in the AUTHORS file (as of September 10, 2012) may make a nomination. Anyone listed in the AUTHORS file (as of September 10, 2012) may be nominated. Nominees are free to refuse nomination. Just as a heads up, if you use a pseudonym, you will have to sign the agreement with your legal name (not that this information gets released to the public). Note: The dates related to the AUTHORS file are to avoid anyone trying to get in at the last second, and they will always adjust with future nomination periods. Typically the board votes on things such as project fund expenditures (travel, conferences, marketing materials for events, etc), trademark related issues (a topic currently be worked on), other legal issues that arise, etc. Our hope is that by refreshing the board, that we'll be better suited to give better guidance on items and hopefully be more effective at supporting the Inkscape project and our community as a result. As specified in Section 6 or our charter we maintain a committee of seven project members. Section 6 reads as follows: "6. Representation of the Project in the Conservancy. The Developers, each a signatory hereto, shall represent the Project in its official communication with the Conservancy. There shall be seven Developers (together, the "Committee"), elected by the community members of the Project listed in the Project's AUTHORS file (the "Community Members"). Each Developer shall continue to serve until he or she resigns from the position. The Developers may be removed from the position at any time by a majority vote of the Community Members. Upon the resignation or removal of a Developer, the Community Members shall elect a replacement Developer to serve on the Committee. The Committee will elect a single individual to communicate with the Conservancy (the "Representative") and shall notify the Conservancy promptly following the election of a new Representative. The Representative will have the authority to instruct the Conservancy on the Project's behalf on all matters. This section may be modified by a vote of at least 3/4 of the Community Members, with the consent of the Conservancy, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld." The election itself will take place from the 17th through the 23rd. The process will be voting for your top two choices (all votes carry equal weight) and the two names with the most votes will be elected. Thank you to everyone for your participation. Cheers, Josh P.S. I have uploaded a redacted copy of the full Charter at: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21152971/InkscapeSponsorshipAgreement-redacted.pdf (modified only for privacy reasons). We will get something more official in place soon.

Creating color managed PDFs
by Adrian Johnson 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

I have been working on an experimental branch of cairo that supports color management for the image and pdf surfaces. I'm currently trying to get Inkscape to use this API so I can test creating color managed PDF files. I'm not familiar with SVG or the Inkscape source and have some questions. The SVG specification says that compositing can be performed in sRGB or linear RGB color space. I could not find where this is supported in Inkscape. For now I've set the PDF surface color space to sRGB. What color space are gradients interpolated in? Are all gradient stops the same color space? In my patch I have assumed that all stops have the same color space and used this color space as the interpolation color space. Can a color space be set for an image? If anyone is interested the code is here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ajohnson/ To simplify the implementation only RGB color spaces are currently supported.

Talks for SVGOpen (the graphical web).
by Tavmjong Bah 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Hi, I've posted drafts of my talks for SVG Open 2012 (now known as "The Graphical Web") to my website. Comments welcomed. I give both talks Tuesday morning in Zurich. The talks use JessyInk and require you to hit Page Down twice to get to the first slide. Firefox messes up some figures while Chrome doesn't do indenting text spaces well.

Eraser
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hello. I have realized that an extension inkscape, by means of filters and clones makes some other deleted objects in overlapping parts, something also cut live. The problem is quite complicated and the resulting svg uses a filter that erodes quality minimally deleted edges, which I think would be invaluable in print because you have to maximum zoom to see the difference of pixelization. Researching upcoming SVG specification have seen that the primitive blend filter-I-will have to incorporate a new method that is draft. I understand it's a little early to incorporate it into inkscape, but it occurred to me that if you could add a new element to inkscape namespace for the element that contains all Scrap right of the lower elements of the group. More could be done adelate this namespace be reflected in any svg renderer thanks to the new way of blend filter primitive. Now I'm starting with B-Spline extension but I think this is a good thing for inkscape, and they can see how it works if you install the extension in the latest stable version, is not urgent since no alternative but can be interesting look. The extension is set in inkscape forums with a link to the website of my company and a donation button if any millionaire out there . http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=12517 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yo he realizado una extensión en inkscape que, por medio de filtros y clones hace que unos objetos borren a otros en las partes coincidentes, algo asi como un recorte en vivo. El problema es que complica bastante el svg resultante y hace uso de un filtro que hace perder minimamente la calidad de los bordes borrados, cosa que considero que sería inapreciable en impresion ya que hay que hacer un zoom máximo para apreciar la diferencia de pixelización. Investigando la próxima especificación de SVG he visto que la primitiva de filtro mezclar -creo- va ha incorporar un nuevo metodo que se trata de borrador. Entiendo que es un poco pronto para incorporarlo a inkscape, pero se me ha ocurrido que si se podria añadir un nuevo elemento al espacio de nombres de inkscape para que el elemento que lo contenga haga de borrrador de todos los elementos inferiores de su grupo. Más adelate se podria hacer que este namespace se reflejase en cualquier renderizador de svg gracias a el nuevo modo de la primitiva de filtro mezclar. Yo ahora mismo estoy empezando con la extensión B-Spline pero considero que esta es una buena cosa para inkscape, y ademas pueden verla en funcionamiento si se instalan la extension en la última versión estable, no es algo urgente ya que hay alternativa pero puede ser interesante mirarlo. La extensión está puesta en los foros de inkscape con un enlace a la web de mi empresa y un boton de donación por si hay algún millonario por ahi. http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=12517
