deviantArt Stash comes to GIMP and Inkscape
by Martin Owens 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hey Art Lovers! Please help me spread the good news if you can... I’m please to announce that version 1.0 of the deviantArt stash plugins for Inkscape and Gimp are released. This is a BIG deal and I’m very excited because not only do we have this functionality, but we have it FIRST, before proprietary software package. That’s right, the stash API was only announced last week and here I am giving you the keys to brand spanking new functionality right from within your favorite art creation applications! We can do something with art that no other software can do today… send your artwork (with or without sources) directly to your deviantArt account… then once uploaded it can (at your option) open up the web browser so you can look at the artwork, send your friends a link or publish it further in your main galleries.

user question
by Drechsel Wolf 19 May '11

19 May '11

Sorry everybody, yes, this is no question for the developer list - but as I'm not subscribed to any user forum, maybe somebody could drop me a quick line. How can I change any node to a corner node, not using the menu, but with a keyboard shortcut or a <key>-click combination? Thanks and greetings, Wolf

Inkscape meeting at Libre Grapics Meeting
by Jon Cruz 11 May '11

11 May '11

I just wanted to drop a quick note that the Libre Graphics Meeting has scheduled a general Inkscape team meeting for today at noon (two hours from now). To try to be inclusive (especially since not many Inkscape contributors made it to Montreal this time) I'll be on IRC throughout the meeting and try to bridge some of the questions and conversation. I would encourage any who are able to get on our IRC room and ask as well as answer questions, goals, etc. Thanks.

Hi, Just tried to compile Inkscape trunk on my spanking new laptop (replacing my 6.5 year old one). It failed in 2geom with an error from the boost library. I used Fedora 15 beta which has boost 1.46 and gcc 4.6.

Recent surge of spam in the wiki
by ~suv 04 May '11

04 May '11

In recent weeks, Inkscape's Wiki is increasingly targeted by (presumably) spam bots which create a new user and a new page with spam (including uploaded images) [1]. 1) Could the wiki use tighter rules for the creation of new users (captchas?) that can't be exploited as easily as apparently the current configuration? 2) Who does have admin credentials to change the current wiki configuration? 3) Who else does have admin rights to clean up (delete pages, block user accounts)? At the moment, it seems as if 'Legio noctis' is the only one with sufficient admin rights who cares and cleans up from time to time, but if the spam surges as it has in recent days, maybe this clean-up task could be shared by several users, or even done by a script? ~suv [1] <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hidebot…>

Gtk3 and libgdl
by Joel Holdsworth 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hi All, I'm interested in upstreaming libgdl so that we can remove it from the inkscape codebase, but I notice that GDL has now been ported to Gtk3. Are there any plans in motion to port inkscape to Gtk3. Or is this something I could consider involving myself with. Best Regards Joel Holdsworth

Upstreaming Inkscape's libcroco
by Joel Holdsworth 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hi Inkscape Devs, I've decided to take it upon myself to try and get Inkscape's libcroco pushed upstream. I've been doing some web searching about the previous discussions that have gone on about it: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/libcroco-list/2007-February/msg00000.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/libcroco-list/2009-March/msg00001.html https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/123799 https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/inkscape/+bug/648246 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572454 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252510 I've been doing some work pulling out the differences between inkscape and upstream crocco into a series of tidy patches. The main differences are the libxml split-out, fixes for compiler warnings, and a couple of minor bug fixes. But as you know the main issue is about splitting out libxml, and I see that this has already been attempted here:http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=129078 Do anyone know anything about the status of this patch? Was is rejected for some reason? Best Regards Joel Holdsworth
