Enable background please !
by Ivan Louette 13 Nov '10

I suggest we make background enabled by default in templates in next builds (perhaps to late for 0.48.1 but definitely possible and easy for devel versions). Regards, ivan

Re : [Inkscape-translator] What a big chang!

Hi, > De : Masato Hashimoto <cabezon.hashimoto@...400...> > In 0.48.x branch-r9714, POTFILE.in is updated and it seems to affect > all of existing translations. > As for ja.po, It was completed expect for unimplemented features but > there are 88 fuzzy and 72 untranslated strings after the commit. > > If it's necessary changing, please notify us. I don't know why POTFILE.in was updated (probably to clean it), but it was not a good idea because the generate_POTFILES.sh script is not up to date and 1. forgets some files 2. adds some unused files (mainly experimental LPEs) that were previously removed or commented. Anyway, as this is a bugfix release, there should be no string change, and AFAIKT there's nothing to do for the translators in the 0.48.x branch. Of course you can still update your strings (if the translation is not 100% finished or if you need correct it), but please don't update your po file with the new POTFILE.in. Regards, -- Nicolas

Removal of mysterious code
by Krzysztof Kosiński 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Please tell me how do you feel about removing the following code: - dom/ - pedro/ - jabber_whiteboard/ - Scripts dialog - Java binding stuff - one of the Find dialogs - native Windows file dialogs Rationale: - dom/ and Java binding are obsolete, the DBus binding should be used instead. For high performance applications there could be a binary plugin API, but I'd prefer to do that once the internal APIs are sane (right now they are far from it). - pedro/ and jabber_whiteboard/ contain Inkboard stuff which doesn't work. - The purpose of the script dialog evades me. To what extent does the scripting capability work? - There are two Find dialogs, one of them is disabled with a notice in the code encouraging to test it. This should be finally resolved. - Native file dialogs are a maintainability nightmare and aren't that much better than GTK dialogs; they are the reason I went for the "embed / link" popup hack for images instead of putting the checkbox in the import dialog. If you have a strong attachment to any of the above, keep in mind those are only suggestions. Regards, Krzysztof

Text Pattern Spam
by Tavmjong Bah 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi, I've looked into the cause of pattern spam with text (adjusting a pattern fill inside text creates lots of new pattern entities, each transforming the previous one). I've found a problem that I don't know how to fix. Here is a "trace" of what is happening: When a pattern is adjusted: PatternKnotHolderEntityScale::knot_set() calls sp_item_adjust_pattern() which calls sp_pattern_clone_if_necessary() This routine looks at the hrefcount for the pattern. If it is greater than 1 then a new pattern is created. For shapes hrefcount is always 1 but for text it is 3. One problem I found here is that if a new pattern is needed, sp_repr_css_change_recursive() is called. This adds an unnecessary style attribute to tspans. Bingo, I thought. But changing this to sp_repr_css_change() didn't fix the problem. The hrefcount still ends up at 3. Sometime after returning from PatternKnotHolderEntityScale..., sp_object_href() is called 3 times, setting the hrefcount to 4 (2 in the case of a shape). Somehow this gets reduced by 1 before the next time sp_pattern_clone_if_necessary() is called leaving the hrefcount at 3 (1 in the case of a shape). Can anybody give me a clue as to what is happening? Thanks. Tav

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
