Hi, Is anybody planning to hack on our optional sets of icons for 0.48, in particular, the Tango one? Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org

GSOC branch for c++ification of the SP Layer.
by Abhishek Sharma 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

Hello all inkscape developers and users, I am currently developing the project named "C++ifying the SP Layer and XML node privatization". I had been doing the development for the same for about a month now and have created a branch for the corresponding developed code. The code as of now c++ifies sp-item.h/cpp , sp-line.h/cpp, sp-polyline.h/.cpp and marks the beginning of document.h/.cpp . There are some performance increase but they shall become more noticeable when I attack the major parent classes like SPDekstop, SPDocument(SPItem already done, took me 2 weeks). The branch is uploaded here https://code.launchpad.net/~spyzer-abhishek0/+junk/gsoc-cppify I shall be glad to have responses about the work from the developers. I shall soon be beginning the XML node privatization as well where the main job would be to highlight the areas where XML tree should be targeted to begin its purging. Hope this finds you all to your best. Have a nice day!!! -- Abhishek Sharma B-Tech Information Technology Indian Institute of Information Technology(Amethi Campus)

Inkscape 0.48 Plan
by Joshua A. Andler 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hey All, So the current thought is that we will branch 0.48 from trunk on Monday. Whatever needs to be disabled, will be disabled in the branch, not in trunk. Any objections, comments or concerns? Cheers, Josh

Command bar/Snap bar positions
by Tavmjong Bah 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi, I just deleted my preferences file and restarted the latest bzr version of Inkscape. I see that the command bar (file/print/etc.) and snap bar are both vertical and on the right side. I really don't like this and prefer them the way they were. Is there a way to move them back? There was recently an option at the end of the command bar to select the preferred placement but it seems to have disappeared. I think that unless there is a compelling reason to set the default to have the bars on the right, the default should be as before. I can't think of any other software that has the file/print/etc. icons on the right. In addition, changes like this mean that a lot of documentation screen shots have to be updated so the changes should really be necessary. Thanks, Tav

by Igor Novikov 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi all! sK1 Team are proud announcing UniConvertor 1.1.5 release. A year of hard work, the masses of improvements and innovations, some multi platform feature - detailed description you can find an excellent review of Alexander Prokoudine: http://www.libregraphicsworld.org/articles.php?article_id=20 UniConvertor 1.1.5 for win32 is prepared as a standalone application bundle with some interesting feature. It includes small script which integrates external UniConvertor into Inkscape 0.47/0.48pre1 installation. So right now Inkscape win32 users can upgrade Inkscape import/export features! And it would be great to discuss with Inkscape developers further development of integration with our project because in next version very interesting features are scheduled.

TO THE DEVS — DECISION ABOUT LGM 2011
by Louis Desjardins 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

TO THE DEVS. Hi guys, In the light of the proposed Guidelines for Organising LGM http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011 it would be great to know, as a team, if : a) You have enough information to make a call on the proposed LGM venues for 2011? if not, what are you missing? b) You had enough time for a round of internal discussions to see whether a significant portion of your team will make it to any of the 3 possible venues? If not, how much time would you like to have for such a round before making it a team decision? c) You are in the end satisfied by the process? if not please give some hints on how to improve this process. d) You are ready to make your call about the venues? if yes, please make it now, if not please tell us when, and maybe why! Parallel questions: e) Do you think the guidelines are helpful? if not, are they useless? can we improve them or should we simply remove the code? f) What do you think of the bidding process? Should we keep it as it is, a one-year process? or should we make it a two-year process? And do you think again you have enough information to make a real choice? Please explain. Thanks for getting back asap. Louis Each of the venues have a page on the Create Wiki: Brasil: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011_Brasil_Bid Canada: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011_Montréal_Bid<http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011_Montr%C3%A9al_Bid> Vietnam: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011_Vietnam_Bid

compilation of Inkscape on win64
by Kris De Gussem 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hi all I tried to compile inkscape on vista64, following the information on http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Win32Port. I downloaded both the 32 bit and the experimental 64 bit TDM-MinGW 4.5.0. With both distributions it was a no go. Building buildtool.cpp fails. Has anyone having similar experiences? Any suggestions (is it known not to work with MinGW 4.5.0, but with the former 4.4.1 release?)? Thanks a lot. Regards Kris PS: I started exploring compiling on windows, because the dev-version on http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D is a bit outdated ;-)

extension autocompletion on save
by Michael Grosberg 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

I only tested it on Windows but as far as I can tell, if you save a file and don't explicitly type the extension, the file will be saved without one, so instead of "myfile.svg" you only get "myfile" and then the OS doesn't recognize it as an SVG file. It would be nice if the dialog recognized when no extension was typed and would add it to the file name according to the "save as type" combo box.

Fwd: Cairo rendering progress
by bulia byak 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Guys, Please check out Krzysztof's work so far. Flat color, gradients, and now patterns are already rendered with cairo; clips and masks, filters are off. lp:~tweenk/inkscape/gsoc-cairo The most exciting is that in my testing, on flat color and gradient files it's now faster very noticeably, from 30% to twice as fast depending on file and resolution. It's with cairo 1.8.8, no GPU acceleration (which as far as I know is not usable until cairo 1.10 anyway). -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Hello Developers, I was looking at the old files I do see that the node and a few others are with only four fingers as per Bug #598821 on launchpad I might be wrong on this, but it's been that way for awhile. check here please. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/598821 I have a branch for the new ones I have completed them. I have a few tools I have added to my version of Inkscape I will double check them and give descriptions for these tools on launchpad for a possible inclusion. I am also back on board to helping with bugs, fixes, and new features translations as well if needed. P.S. As for testing I have some new systems to try it on.
