PDF+LaTeX: extension of tex file?
by unknown＠example.com 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

Hi all, I have an important question about the extension of the generated TeX file when using the PDF+LaTeX option. Right now, it generates an imagename.pdf file and an imagename.tex file. However, if a user has chosen the same name for the image as his tex document file, the tex file is overwritten. A suggestion at Launchpad proposes to create not a .tex file but a .pdf_tex file instead. I am inclined to go with this option, as this also enables use of different export settings for pdf+latex and ps+latex and eps+latex... Thanks for your quick input, Johan __________________________________________ ir. J.B.C.

Extended Input settings not stored permanently
by Alexander Roalter 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

The input devices settings (for extended input, e.g. tablet) have changed some time ago to a different format. Now, I can set the stylus device to Screen to have it pressure sensitive as expected, and it is also stored as this in the preferences.xml, but on reload if forgets this setting. My stylus device is called Stylus0, the eraser Eraser0. Setting the eraser to screen mode, in the preferences.xml I see something like <group keys=";;;;;... axes="x;y;pressure;xtilt;ytilt;wheel" mode="screen" id="E:Eraser0" /> but no such entry for stylus or Stylus0 exists and is created... -- cheers, Alex

Inkscape Extension Developers
by Christoph Sterz 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hi, First of all and because I am new to this list I want to thank the Inkscape Developers for their awesome work they did. I was recently programming an extension for Inkscape and so I had different (general and specific) questions: - Is there a group of developers, who are just or mainly doing their work on extensions ? - Is the idea of extensions still in the roadmap of Inkscape? - What criteria _do_ extensions have to fulfill to get into the next release ? - Is there a kind of an Extension-Repo ? - And is it planned to include Extensions into Inkscape like we all know it from Firefox (Online -Repo connected to the program itself or Online-Repo providing "one click" installation. Again, thumbs up for all developers - developing an extension was very easy and understandable. cheers, _Christoph

SVG Working Group
by Tavmjong Bah 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hi all, I've just been accepted as an "Invited Expert" to the SVG working group to represent Inkscape's interests in the evolution of the SVG standard. There seems to be a renewed effort to get a new standard out the door. The plan is to publish independently a number of "closely-tied" modules that will be bundled eventually as SVG 2.0. This is your chance to influence what that standard will be. I've started a Wiki page to facilitate this work: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SVG_WorkingGroup Please add to the page your observations of problems with the current standard and what you want in the future standard.

by dormouse 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

to: AurИlio A. Heckert <aurium@...400...> Hello! We want to push our 'gcodetools' (bzr lp:gcodetools) extension to the base Inkscape distribution. 1. Are we too late to be in the 0.48 release? 2. What should we do to put our extension into the public Inkscape releases? > > ?- What criteria _do_ extensions have to fulfill to get into the next > > release ? > I think that must works on any OS (using the python standards > from other extensions will help) and be accepted by a developer. > You may submit it as a patch on the tracker. > > But not for the 0.48, because we are in the string freeze. Regards, Vladimir Kalyaev.

Hi everyone, Who can upload win32 pre builds to SF? I provide the windows builds for Inkscape so maybe it would be great if I could upload the files on my own. Any suggestions? Sincerely, UweSch

Inkscape 0.48 Release Status Update
by Joshua A. Andler 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hey All, I just wanted to let people know that we still have a couple blocker bugs that are actively being worked on. I got most of the "device-cmyk" issue worked out. Jon has my patch to see if he can sort the last issue (or point me in the right direction). Jon is also close to having the custom swatch issues sorted. I currently have 3 screenshots that I need to do writeups on and post. If anyone has any screenshots to contribute, particularly showing off the spray tool or enhanced text functions, that would be incredibly helpful. Cheers, Josh

SVG transform + stroke
by Krzysztof Kosiński 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hello Here is a simple question about SVG. Let's assume I have a circle which has a thick stroke. Then I put it in a group which has a transform attribute that specifies 0.5x scale in the horizontal direction. When the drawing is rendered, should the stroke of the circle be thinner on the sides or have an uniform width? Regards, Krzysztof

freehand dot bug
by unknown＠example.com 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi all, I just found a bug that is perhaps a blocker. Drawing dots with ctrl+click with freehand tool works splendid, but for saving files. Saving and reopening a file with these dots, moves the dots to a different place (and mirrors them). It makes the ctrl+click functionality unusable (or at least very cumbersome to use). Ciao, Johan
