Translation issues
by Jesper Öqvist 02 Feb '11

Hello, A couple months ago I submitted a new .po for the Swedish translation of Inkscape. Since then I've been unable to spend time on Inkscape. I would like to contribute to the source code proper but haven't had the time to do so. Anyway, I recently compiled the latest lp:inkscape version and noticed that there are several issues with translation strings not appearing properly in the GUI. One example is #: ../src/filter-enums.cpp:52 #, fuzzy msgctxt "Filter blend mode" msgid "Multiply" msgstr "Multiplicera" I have not worked with gettext before, but examining the filter-enums.cpp source reveals no reason why this string should not be correctly translated: 51 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_NORMAL, C_("Filter blend mode", "Normal"), "normal"}, 52 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_MULTIPLY, C_("Filter blend mode", "Multiply"), "multiply"}, 53 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_SCREEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Screen"), "screen"}, 54 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_DARKEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Darken"), "darken"}, 55 {Inkscape::Filters::BLEND_LIGHTEN, C_("Filter blend mode", "Lighten"), "lighten"} Note that "Screen" is correctly translated! So, anyone know why the original English string is displayed in the GUI? If this could be explained to me, perhaps I could fix other occurrences of missing translations which I've noticed. I'm assuming the same issue exists for other translations as well. I did do "btool clean" before I compiled this version, so this should rule out the possibility that I'm using some old version of the compiled translation, unless perhaps my main Inkscape installation is interfering? Another issue is that I could not find myself in the list of translators in the "About Inkscape" dialog. I would like to be listed there as I did spend a fair amount of time slugging through the Swedish translation. Best regards, Jesper

Poppler issues *again*
by Josh Andler 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hey All, As we know, I like my distro to be bleeding... With libpoppler 0.16.0 we're again broken with compilation. I really think that we need to work on a proper solution for this because it seems like every 6 months we have to add additional checks to compensate for how things change. Also, I noticed that libwpg 0.2 isn't detected either, I tried mucking w/ configure.ac and had no success. Cheers, Josh

Broken document created.
by Martin Owens 31 Jan '11

Hey guys, I was doing a teaching session on Inkscape for the Ubuntu User Days a few days ago. As with almost every show-and-tell, something went wrong. This was Inkscape 0.47 for Ubuntu 10.10 and the document that I created from scratch caused inkscape to crash. What's interesting is that the image was saved by the crash protection save feature. And although the image can be opened by gnome and seen in firefox, opening it in Inkscape 0.47 causes it to crash again. I'd like to know if the crash still exists in Inkscape 0.48, which unfortunately isn't available for Ubuntu yet. If it still exists, I'll report a bug and we'll get it nailed. If you're interested in what I did to cause the problem, it's all recorded in the live session: http://livestre.am/AWfN Crash is at about 00:37:10 Best Regards, Martin Owens

Scales when importing.
by Teto 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hi all! First, please slap me if ask something already asked, or already in the soft... My problem: Sometimes I make pictures or objects, sets, whatever, apart, in their own file, and then I import them in the main picture. When you're importing a SVG file, and you're changing its size, by default you're changing the strokes thickness accordingly . But I have an issue here. I often use the path effect "pattern along a path, stretched" for obvious pencil effects. but when I import the file, the objects with this effect have their "thickness" completely different. That's just ugly. I'd like to have the question/option "object -> path before importing", and choose what type of object I want to transform when importing (if possible). The workaround is obvious: change in paths the objects and save in a new file before importing. But, well... you know... ;-) Also, when I change the size of an object with this effect, I'd like to have its 'thickness' changing in the same proportions too (same demand when importing and resizing). I do know that when I don't have the same proportions in X and Y, it's a problem for the soft to decide what to do, because the thickness of the effect has just one value. But an option "choose the smallest" should be enough to solve the problem. By the way, something completely different: in the build 10017 for windows, the layer tool is buggy: eyes and padlocks are invisible, you must pass the mouse cursor over to see them, then they vanish again, except if you pass over from the first to the last layer. Cheers, Teto.

So for students to even be considered, let alone accepted accepted, they must first have commit access to the repo? I didn't think you had to be completely familiar with the code since you are a 'student'. Please help me with this because I want to apply but haven't had the time to go through all the doxygen docs and become familiar with the code yet.

GSoC 2011 - Anyone interested in Mentoring?
by Josh Andler 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hey All, Since the GSoC 2011 discussions have begun, I figured I would get one of the basic questions out of the way... how many potential mentors do we have this year? As usual, I'm willing to Admin again this year unless someone else would be interested in doing so (I'd otherwise be good to be the backup admin). So, is anyone interested? Cheers, Josh
