by Alexandre Prokoudine 07 Nov '10

Hi, We were planning to release 0.48.1 around October 25. Are there any issues of satble version somebody is working on or planning to work on in the coming days? Do we have Windows and Mac packagers at the ready for that? Do you know of any reason we should postpone this point release? Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org

Windows Console Options
by Adin Ramirez Rivera 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hi all, I've been using Inkscape for a while now, and most of the time I'm working from console. So I decide to write as the FAQ say so. So please consider including a console executable (linux like options would be great!) in your official builds. Thanks in advance, keep with the cool work! adin

[Fwd: [CREATE] Pro bono ads in Libre Graphics Magazine]
by Ted Gould 03 Nov '10

Seems that we should have an official "Inkscape Ad" -- perhaps a contest on Deviant Art? --Ted -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: ginger coons <ginger@...2483...> To: create <create@...626...> Subject: [CREATE] Pro bono ads in Libre Graphics Magazine Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2010 09:38:19 -0400 Hello, Create! More chatter from Libre Graphics Magazine. In issue 1.1, we've reserved nine full pages for pro bono ads. These pages are spaces we want to go to the promotion of F/LOSS and Libre Graphics software and projects. So far, only one is spoken for. Which means that we've got eight whole pages left for the promotion of Libre Graphics projects. We're running A4 size pages and if you don't want to design an ad yourself, we'll do it for you. If your project wants one of those spaces, either reply to this thread, to me, or to enquiries@...2484... -- ginger "all-lower-case" coons adaptstudio.ca 647.865.7757 (Toronto) 514.213.1318 (Montreal) _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list CREATE@...626... http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create

Also, the pixel dimensions of the two methods differ, if the graphic bleeds over the edge of the 'page'). Can someone tell me why we have a non-vector format in the save as list? One that seems redundant and apparently with less functionality than the normal export. Is this for testing purposes?

improved dxf export
by john cliff 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Seems like theres a couple of improved versions of the dxf export script floating around the web, can we contact the devs in question and see about getting one of them pulled back into head? http://www.bobcookdev.com/inkscape/inkscape-dxf.html http://tim.cexx.org/?p=590 http://www.bigbluesaw.com/saw/big-blue-saw-blog/general-updates/big-blue-sa… cant see any references to licenses, but since they seem to derive from the inkscape one I guess their GPL, would be wise to confirm that with the devs in question tho. Cheers John

Does anybody else see this? Confirmed: when using a shape tool to scale or rotate a pattern of a text object tons of patterns definitions with 'patternTransform' are created. Does already happen with Inkscape 0.47 (using the node tool) and 0.48 (using one of the shape tools) when transforming a pattern of a text object. ~suv

Text import extension does not load in Ubuntu
by Alex Valavanis 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Hi everyone, I'm helping to maintain the Ubuntu package of Inkscape. I mentioned in bug #479944 that the text import extension does not load in Ubuntu. I'd be grateful if anyone can offer any extra debugging assistance with this - I can't see any obvious reason why the extension does not load. As I mentioned in comment #7, extension-errors.log doesn't report any problems. Thanks, Alex

NEW: mouseover cursors in Selector
by bulia byak 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Selector tool has a new mouse cursor (arrow with an open hand) for when your mouse is over a selectable object, and another (arrow with clinched hand) for when you're dragging an object. This improves precision of selection and UI consistency (previously, the mouse cursor over a selectable object was different across platforms, e.g. hand icon on Linux or four-way arrow on Windows). -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Should be fixed shortly. Okay, the fix for this connector bug is now committed to the trunk. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666586 Cheers, Michael
