Snapping to paths broken?
by Tavmjong Bah 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi, With trunk I am having trouble getting snapping to paths to work consistently. I was thinking about demoing the new snapping to the intersection of a path and guide. I can get it to work sometimes but for the most part my test rectangle will not snap to anything to do with a path. Snapping to the grid and guide lines always works as expected. Has anybody else seen this behavior? It seems to not work more often with complicated drawings (many layers). I've also gotten this error message a few times: ERROR:widgets/toolbox.cpp:2108:void toggle_snap_callback(GtkToggleAction*, gpointer): assertion failed: (ptr != NULL) Inkscape r10675 with Fedora 15.

Hello I noticed that Jon Cruz is removing forward headers and replacing them with hand-written forward declarations. This is completely backwards! Jon why are you doing this? Regards, Krzysztof

I have add the one custom dialog in inkscape . In that i provide the on radio button that we mention the object priority Now my svg file save like Now i want to save svg file in ascending order , ascending operation in Priority value , After ascending svg file i want to save file like that i mention below For that i write custom code when user select Object Path .In "sp_item_list_to_curves" function i do ascending operation in Priority value . after that i can get the Priority values in ascending order .. But when i save the file in svg format i can't get output what i want actually..!! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Write-SVG-File-ascending-wise-How-to---tp32606645p326… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Out-of-source build
by Johan Engelen 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hi all, Could someone take the time to explain on our wiki how to compile Inkscape "out-of-source" on Linux/Ubuntu? Such that all object files and whatnot are not put in-between the source files in /src/ but in a separate folder, say /build/. Thanks a bunch! Johan

Synfig exporter extension
by Nikita Kitaev 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

I've finished working on the first iteration of the SVG Synfig exporter. The essential features are there and a lot of bugs are fixed, so I think now would be a good time to consider including a copy with Inkscape. I committed the files into a personal branch of inkscape: "lp:~nikitakit/inkscape/svg2sif". (Disclaimer: I'm a git advocate and don't know much about bzr) My work was all done on Ubuntu natty with Python version "2.7.1+", testing against Inkscape 0.48.1, Inkscape trunk build, and a large collection of OpenClipArt files made with various (older) versions of Inkscape. It would be good if someone could test it on Windows and Mac (especially if the python versions are different). ~Nikita

Documentation
by Jon Cruz 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hi, I've gotten back to trying to get more documentation straightened out and filled out. Some architechtural overview, getting started type details, etc. Does anyone else want to lend a hand? :-) Or more importantly are there any specifics I should look into filling out? That is, any areas people want me to look into, or any aspects that need special attention, etc. Thanks.

corrupt SVG or bad Inkscape parser?
by Andrew Pennebaker 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

When I edit a camel image from OpenClipArt.org, and save it with Inkscape, the resulting SVG becomes corrupt. Bad Camel http://www.openclipart.org/detail/7474/camel-silhouette-by-johnny_automatic I'm not sure whether this image is corrupt or whether Inkscape has trouble parsing it. However, I do know that the camel from Clker.com edits perfectly well in Inkscape. Good Camel http://www.clker.com/clipart-11776.html Cheers, Andrew Pennebaker www.yellosoft.us

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape style connectors - usability suggestion
by Hans-Jürgen Hay 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

Hello Arcadie, my suggestion was to drop default predefined points, as the whole outline would be an infinite set of possible connection points. When ever a user drops an handle near to the outline, an instance of an connection point would be generated, positioned on the outline path next to the place of dropping the handle. This instance would hold a float which indicates the relative position of the connector on the given outline. eg.: float pos between 0 and 1, a value of 0.5 would define a position on the outline path half way between the start and the end of the path. This placement would be valid and appropriate even if the object gets scaled. As a result no predefined points are really necessary. One could build the outline out of different paths and maybe additional single point paths and only allow a subset of them to accept connectors, to specialize the objects behavior. But that would depend on the objects intended behavior and would be specific to the objects template.
