Toolbars architecture
by Romain de Bossoreille 18 Dec '11

18 Dec '11

Hi, I'm working updating the wiki to have a more clear view on modules, works to be done and tips for developpers. Here I'm working on the toolbars: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/User_Interface_Modules#Toolbars Some questions: * Nearly everything is in src/widgets/toolbox.cpp. The final goal is it to have breakdown in per-toolbar-files (like for exemple we have actually for Select and Gradient toolbars) + toolbox.cpp file? o If yes, can I work at this breakdown or is there already a work to do this? * Is there a C++ migration guidance for toolbars? I've found nothing. * Can toolbars files move to a dedicated directory (ex: src/toolbars and then the C++ version in src/ui/toolbar) or will they still appears as widgets? * In files we are speaking about "toolbars" and "toolboxes". What's the good word? I think it's toolbar, but just to be sure... Moreover, I would like to propose you to have one page per toolbar in the wiki with a screenshot, list of functions (like a user documentation but that could be also usefull for developpers to find their way), links to related source files and (if we can have an automatic link between the wiki and launchpad) links to all bugs/wishlist related to it (with a system of tags). What do you think about it? Can I work in this direction? Thanks, -- *Romain de Bossoreille*

Inkscape::UI::Dialog::PanelDialogBase .cpp and .h file
by Romain de Bossoreille 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hi, I was working filling the wiki about User Interface. Is it normal that the file src/ui/dialog/panel-dialog.h does not have a .cpp? This file contains prototypes and source code of all functions of the class Inkscape::UI::Dialog::PanelDialogBase. For clarity and compilation optimisation, would it be better to break it in a .cpp and .h files ? Thanks, -- *Romain de Bossoreille*

Make inkscape remember dialogs window status (bug #171579)
by Nicolas Dufour 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hello, The wishlist report bug #171579, "Make inkscape remember dialogs window status", has been recently patched by John Smith. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171579) The patch compiles correctly on Windows XP, OSX and Ubuntu, and behave *almost* as expected. But: 1. It only works with dockable dialogs (not with Text and fonts, XML editor, etc.). 2. It doesn't work correctly with dialogs docked in a floating window. 3. The minimize status of the docked dialogs is not rememberer (they are considered closed). 4. It doesn't restore all the locked/visible icons of the Layers dialog. 5. The status is updated when the dialog is opened or closed, and doesn't necessarily reflects the status of the last closed Inkscape window. 1, 2 and 4 are probably out of the scope of the patch, but fixing 5, and maybe 3, would make the patch committable for 0.49 IMHO. 5 is debatable though. Should we save the status in the preferences when the last document is closed, or save it on a per document basis? Tests and comments are welcome! Regards, -- Nicolas

DHW file input extension
by Nikita Kitaev 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

A couple of months ago I modified someone's BSD-licensed DHW to SVG converter and turned it into an Inkscape extension. DHW is the proprietary format used by DigiMemo digital notepads (writing on the notepad with a special pen will record all of the penstrokes and save a copy of the writing onto an SD card). Right now the code is up on github [1]. It's a 215-line perl script, plus the accompanying INX file. I'm wondering if it would make sense to do something else with it, like adding it to an extension repository or maybe even including it with Inkscape. Any suggestions? ~Nikita [1] https://github.com/nikitakit/DM2SVG

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Re : Adding half tones pattern to SVG filters

You're welcome! I mentioned GIMP's newsprint just as a reference of the needed features (dot shape, resolution, channels, etc) and UI. Using similar sets of features, names and UI distribution would make the SVG filter more familiar for GIMP users and vice-versa. I know SVG filters are different and of course I'd love to have a non-destructive filter instead of a one-time raster effect. Well, I'd love to have non-destructive filters in GIMP too, but that's far in the GEGL horizon. ;-)

Useful functions
by Josh Andler 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Hey All, I stumbled across some videos a while back relating to some plugins for Illustrator that provide some pretty cool functionality and wanted to share, I just don't believe I did on the list (hopefully I'm not repeating). Do we have an appropriate page in the wiki for me to add them or does anyone think it would be more appropriate to just add a number of RFEs to the tracker? This first one shows some pretty useful color functionality you normally see associated with raster apps but is stuff that would rock to have for use in the vector space. Yes we have extensions that provide some of the functions, but they're destructive effects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRthJrsYepg This live half-toning stuff is definitely sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLOVqTE9Zy8 When we finally get to a point where we can produce proper PDFs for print, this would be some fantastic functionality to have (especially with the costs of home printing supplies). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnGgtQAXf8U Just thought I'd share... Cheers, Josh

Next release check-in...
by Josh Andler 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hey all, Anything in particular people are looking to add or refactor which they haven't discussed yet? Development has greatly slowed and I am curious if it's related to lack of interest, time, or people not wanting to hold up a possible release by adding new features. Note, a release is unfeasible at this time anyway, so we're really still game for new code currently. Related to this, Tavmjong's gradient mesh branch is pretty nice (and still has bugs) atm... if anyone is interested in helping out with it, please let him know. It would be awesome if we could see that work stabilized and available in the next release. Just checking in... Cheers, Josh

new color / System Palette
by GiveLifeCS 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hi, I am Gabriel Vano the creator of Givelife color system GiveLife Color System put online the second product , the Color / System Palette in RGB ,more biggest of the world with 5101 shades of Color. I belive that this tool is very important and beneficial to help the Designers in General , saving time and to forget about having to create your own Color Palette , because with this Color Palette the Designers can find the most desirable shades of Color. This Color System has been tested by Designers demanding and the conclusion of all them is very clear ,it is a key tool of color. Currently this Color Palette is by default in the Operative System "Asturix" that the new version Asturix 4(Distribution of Linux), will be online in a week more or less for this reason I send an e-mail to all the developers of Inkscape to study the possibility to put it, by default in Inkscape. the type of the RGB is "SRGB". if you visit the website you can download the Color palette for Inkscape I am sure that this tool will be very ussefull for all the users of Inkscape. also the type of the licence is creative commons "CC" BY-NC-ND. I wait for your comments greetings Gabriel Vano http://www.givelifecolorsystem.com http://givelifecolorsystem2.blogspot.com/
