how to include size information in SVG_G_ELEMENT
by Ogla Sungutay 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi guys, I need to add the size of the SVG_G_ELEMENT in a custom namespace as seen below: <g inkscape:label="baz" id="foo" myNamespace:width="647" myNamespace:height="400" > This will require some hacking, so before I go into the code, I wanted to get some feedback from you; I'm hoping that you can give me some directions or offer me solutions. Thanks!! -- V. Ogla Sungutay, UI programmer www.lyciasoft.com skype:oglasungutay

Website redesign Proposal (was: )
by AJ Ashton 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi all, I've been reading the side-discussion about the current state of the Inkscape website and figured I should speak up. from Alexandre Prokoudine in the 'Free Desktop Release' thread: > In fact, our custom website CMS is rather unmaintained. Several people > volunteered to create a new website based on drupal or possibly > something else, and we never heard back from them. This was me and my colleague Young Hahn. We work for Development Seed, a small web shop in Washington, DC, with a focus on using & contributing to open-source projects. Young and I are both designers who rely on Inkscape for the majority of our graphics work. You can see the kinds of things Inkscape is helping us do at http://developmentseed.org/projects Earlier in the year we chatted with Josh Andler about how the current website works and what a Drupal redesign/migration might look like. We suggested Drupal since that is what we specialize in - Young, in addition to being a kick-ass designer, is also a highly respected and experienced Drupal developer. Since our initial chat with Josh we've been letting other projects distract us. However, recently I've been speaking to Young and our CEO, Eric Gundersen, about scheduling some real time for this and, if the community is willing, we'd love to get started soon. One important aspect of the site that we think needs work is the information architecture. We propose reducing the main navigation menu to: - News - Download - Documentation - Resources - Gallery - Community - Development I would like to open a discussion about people's thoughts on this, and perhaps get into some specifics regarding what pages/sections would need to be consolidated, rethought, or perhaps eliminated in order to do this. I have some ideas regarding a new visual design as well, but think that can wait until these more fundemental decisions are made. Thanks! AJ Ashton

our logo in EPS
by Alexandre Prokoudine 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Hi, For a reason I may not yet announce I need our logo in EPS file format. Unfortunately Inkscape still has no idea how to flatten transparencies when saving to PS/EPS. Before I go tweaking the SVG to get rid of them, I'd like to find out if somebody did this job before, so that some time could be spared. Thanks in advance, whatever would come out of this :) Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org

Status of dbus awareness
by Kent Tenney 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Howdy, I just built the inkscape trunk from bzr and ran this script #!/usr/bin/python import dbus bus = dbus.SessionBus() inkdoc1 = bus.get_object('org.inkscape', '/org/inkscape/desktop_0') doc1 = dbus.Interface(inkdoc1, dbus_interface="org.inkscape.document") im = doc1.image(100 ,100, '/home/ktenney/Firefox_wallpaper.png') Which worked on a dbus branch a while back. Now it starts inkscape, but does not place the image - was the dbus code merged? - if so, how do I enable/use it? - if not, where is dbus capable code? Thanks, Kent

After R19 of devlibs everything is fine. Got a new completely rebuild. Thanks Krzysztof Sincerely, UweSch The build problem introduced in trunk revision 9775 should be fixed with devlibs revision 19; they now contain libxml2 2.7.7 built against iconv and zlib from the devlibs.

Bug reports in portuguese
by Felipe Sanches 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

The brazilian inkscape community is very active. But lots of people are not familiar with english. So there seems to be a need for a community effort to proxy their bug reports and feature requests into our official bugtracker (by translating them into english). I am not sure whether launchpad has a feature to enable that. But I would like to install a launchpad server to host bug reports in portuguese and I'd like to know whether there is some feature that would help us keep some kind of relation between equivalent bugs in both systems so that we can minimize the human effort to keep both systems fairly synchronized. I'd like to have bug status, tags, metadata, etc.. all shared and synchronized so that the only human effort would be the actual translation of user comments. But if we dont have such features, I still would like to try to setup the best system we can in order to allow greater user participation. Felipe "Juca" Sanches

LyX has some kind of mechanism for jointly donating towards the implementation of a specific feature. http://www.lyx.org/Donate With a bit of googling there seem to be quite a number of sites for > arranging freelance work like this.

Accessing Inkscape document data as it is generated
by David Yip 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hello all, Haven't posted a message here in a long time -- hope things are going well! I've received a message asking about the best way to access Inkscape's document data as it's changed. His project involves serving document data from Inkscape to locally-running programs, for which he plans to use DBus. The questioner prefers to remain anonymous for now. My initial response recommended implementing Inkscape::UndoStackObserver, much as Inkboard did, as it's an easy way to obtain a stream of transactions on the document. However, questioner's concern with this approach was that listening for changes on the undo stack wouldn't capture intermediate states of actions, e.g. motion along a path. He brought up another possibility, which was to send changes in batches at short intervals (using, say, Inkscape::XML::NodeObserver). I'm no longer familiar enough with the Inkscape codebase to give an opinion on how well this would work, nor do I know if there's been any changes in the past few years that would make this sort of thing easier. Can anyone help out? I can offer clarifications as necessary. Thanks, - David
