inkscape devels for windows on modevia
by Uwe Schöler - OSS-Marketplace.com 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hi everyone. I upload inkscape builds for windows to modevia from time to time and i'm glad to do this. No doubt about that. But I'm on vacation from 22. of April till 16. of May and i'm not able to upload these builds during this time. Can someone do this during my vacation? He or she must have access on modevia.com to do this. I can try to do this, but i'll travel through Florida and i don't know if i can establish a reliable internet connection. So it would be nice if someone could do this during my vacation. Sincerely UweSch

assertion violation in new inkscape build
by Britton Kerin 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

I got an assertion violation in a build of the latest inkscape: $ inkscape Assertion failure: mark.c:642 assertion failure Aborted (core dumped) 134 $ No luck googling this error text as far as I could tell.

how do you guys use Boehm with gtk?
by Britton Kerin 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

I've tried pretty hard in the past to come up with a combination of gtk and Boehm that works, but I never got stable results. I'm really curious what combination of Boehm features and glib/gtk features you are using? I guess that since you don't require specially built glib/gtk you aren't using the allocator specifiers or build-time allocation settings of glib? Perhaps you use Boehm only for your own glib-independent memory pools? One of my dreams is to have a nice garbage-collected C development setup, but it seems to require every library to be rebuilt of LD_PRELOAD'ed in some tricky way... I'd love to know roughly what you've done. Thanks, Britton

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Improved boundingbox calculation
by Guillermo Espertino 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

Please, don't forget bug #365458. I guess it's somewhat related and it's extremely annoying. 0.47 was released with that important regression, it would be great if it's reverted in 0.48.

How to fix Wacom stylus in Inkscape 0.47-3 on Windows

Just wondering if our Win32 guys have seen this about issues with Tablets on 0.47. http://www.anthonywyatt.com/blog/2009/11/29/how-to-fix-wacom-stylus-in-inks… Do we have all this covered now, or not?

Improved boundingbox calculation
by unknown＠example.com 10 Apr '10

10 Apr '10

Hi all, I just committed an improved bbox calculation when SPItem::RENDERING_BBOX precision is requested. Now it correctly includes stroke endcaps. This fixes an important bug: when creating a pattern from selected objects, the bbox calculation was not accurate enough for paths with butt caps. This meant it was not easy to make a pattern of a plus to create a hatch fill pattern. (the plusses would not connect with each other) Now this works as easy as it should. I have also increased the precision of the bbox calculation for fitting the canvas to the selection and for turning the selection into a marker. Note that the improved RENDERING_BBOX calculation takes more time than before (in fact, RENDERING_BBOX used to be the same as APPROXIMATE_BBOX). Ciao, Johan

GSoC 2010, pen tool and layers dialog
by Matthew Todd 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello, My name is Matthew A. Todd. I am a second year computer science student at UCSD interested in working on Inkscape as part of Google Summer of Code. During my use of Inkscape previously, I had wanted a couple of changes/feature additions. I would like the chance to add these features, with some help, as my project in GSoC. I'm posting here for feedback regarding my ideas. I don't have enough experience to know how long it would take to implement them. I don't even know if others besides myself would even find such functionality useful. First idea (pen tool): I primarily use the pen tool, and would like to add the following to it: When drawing a curve, often times I place a node then decide I want to move the node's position. In Adobe Illustrator, this is accomplished by simply pressing a key (the space key.) I would like to add this ability to Inkscape. Currently, this is already possible through the use of the arrow keys. But allowing the user to move the node with the mouse would increase ease of use because the user wouldn't have to take his or her hand off the mouse. Also it would allow him or her to move the node more quickly. And he or she could still use the arrow keys if desired. Because the arrow keys method already exists, adding the use of the mouse is by no means of high importance. But several times I have desired such functionality. Second idea (layers dialog): I find the layers dialog to be a little cumbersome. Its not possible to simply move layers up and down by dragging them. Instead an user has to click a button or press a key combination. I think adding this small feature will increase ease of use because then the user doesn't have to click multiple times if there are many layers. He or she could simply just drag the layer to the desired location. The layer dialog doesn't show what is in a layer. So currently, the only option is to hide all other layers, which still isn't a great solution. Adding the ability to inspect items in a layer and move them in z-order or perhaps even move them to other layers, would make layers work better. I'm thinking of something would look like a tree view. Again, I came over from Adobe Illustrator, so my idea of what it would like is similar to how Illustrator's layer dialog, but it need not be. Thanks, Matthew A. Todd
