undo redo stack enhancements
by NASA Jeff 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

I have another idea for the undo redo stack, effectively being able to roll back, make a change at a point in history then roll forward again. I think this would be most impressive in bitmap editing software such as krita. For instance, setting the stroke parameters, say colour to keep it simple. Drawing a line, doing some other stuff. Then deciding that you want to change the stroke parameters for everything from a point in history. This should be a simple roll back roll forward and performance can be achieved if snapshots are taken. I don't think snapshots are such a requirement for vector graphics and DTP but would be needed for bitmap graphics along with GPU acceleration to make the whole things as smooth as possible. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

I've done some work on the shape recognition plugin for inkscape... still have a little work to do (i may try a delta to get the best results) [image: shaope recognition.png]

light weight vs fully fledged
by NASA Jeff 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

I think so far as animation and interactivity goes it may be an idea to keep a lightweight version of inkscape and a more fully fledged version. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

shape recognition
by NASA Jeff 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Here's the original shape recognition plugin. I'll try and get a delta ready so that shape recognition is close to perfection. This is something that could be a handy real-time feature. https://inkscape.org/~qpad/%E2%98%85shape-recognition <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Question from left field
by Erik Robson 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Hello, all. I'm sorry to spam the whole dev list with this, but I'm not sure how else to handle the situation. I'm not a programmer; I'm an artist (who has done a little bit of C++/C# programming.) My issue is that my workflow is dependent upon an interface that disappeared after mid-2014. So I've been running 0.48.5 since then. The interface is the Pen Tool, Spiro Spline setting. The essential interface is *click* for corner node, *drag* for smooth node. This workflow is extremely intuitive - so much so that it's proven more valuable to me than the numerous improvements made to Inkscape since 2014. With the release of 1.0, I thought I'd investigate making local builds and seeing whether I could modify my local source to behave like 0.48.5 with the Pen Tool. (Thanks to the Wiki instructions, I'm successfully compiling 1.0 locally!) What I've found, of course, is that everything's different. Where 0.48.5 had enum { SP_PEN_CONTEXT_MODE_CLICK, SP_PEN_CONTEXT_MODE_DRAG }; ...1.0 has: void _bsplineSpiro(bool shift); //creates a node in bspline or spiro modes ... void _bsplineSpiroStartAnchor(bool shift); //continues the existing curve with the union node in bspline or spiro modes So the shift modifier (as opposed to still mouseup vs. drag + mouseup) has permeated, and click/drag distinctions are discarded. My question is this: How would someone (particularly a non-programmer) approach re-implementing click/drag in the Pen Tool? Keep in mind, I'm not trying to disrupt the official source or product; I just need to make local builds for my own use. And it's not an emergency - 0.48.5 does everything I require, and if need be I can just stick with that. However, if there's a way to get the old Pen interface with all the 1.0 improvements, I'd like to try. Thanks, Erik Robson

Hello Inkscapers, We have a board meeting this Friday in #inkscape-devel on Freenode or the Devel room on https://chat.inkscape.org. It is at Noon Texas time, but you're welcome from places other than Texas. In fact, everyone is welcome to attend! I imagine that we'll be getting an update from the virtual sprint. Find time where you are here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Inkscape+Board+Me… See you there! Ted

Inkscape developer meetings
by Marc Jeanmougin 25 Jul '20

25 Jul '20

Hi all developers, during recent discussions, we have been pondering the idea of regular dev meetings, and discussing them again on the live today, we are suggesting to hold them every eight days (so that if someone has an agenda problem with a day of the week, it'll still be okay for most of the meetings) . The idea for these meetings would be to talk about the development of Inkscape code informally, discuss bug reports we have been working on, recently raised regressions, etc, so that we could help one another if needed and get a wider sense of who is working on what area, and how things are progressing overall with features or releases in mind. Tentatively, we could hold a first meeting on August 6th 5pm UTC (24h before next board meeting ?) If you have any remarks about this, feel free to voice them :) Thanks everyone! -- Marc

Hackfest 2020: Developer Day
by Martin Owens 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Dear Developers, This coming Saturday we are continuing are hackfest sessions with our developer day. If you are a developer, please come along at any point during the day starting at 4PM UTC and ending at 10PM UTC. There will be a meeting to talk about Inkscape's development specifically will be at 5PM UTC hosted by Thomas Holder, one item to talk about is if the developer team should meet once a month like other teams do. The rest of the day we will be looking at merge requests together. Going through some code and doing some presentation style hacking. Expect a lot of screen sharing! Let me know if you have anything specific you'd like to present before Saturday. Thanks everyone! Best Regards, Martin Owens Hackfest Organiser
