Issues with SVG
by John Coppens 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Hello people. I've started using SVG for some of the graphics on my pages, and encountered some problems - probably due to ignorance... but not for lack of trying to find answers: 1) If I 'embed' an SVN image in a page, and want to use it as a link to somewhere else, I find that the image isn't sensitive. I'm using Firefox 3.6 - I thought embedding was ok for the majority of browsers? 2) If I define the size smaller than the original image, I get scrollbars in Firefox. I thought SVN was scaleable? Or are the images only scaleable to larger sizes - never seen that mentioned... I'd appreciate pointers to documentation for either or both issues. Thanks John

Ruler LPE giving new rendering result
by Jasper van de Gronde 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

If you wrote the Ruler LPE or know what it's about, please have a look at its rendering test (still in SVN), it produces a new result that is clearly different from the old (regression?). For more info on the rendering tests (and where to get them), see the Wiki: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_Inkscape#Rendering_tests

How to access viewport dimensions?
by Jasper van de Gronde 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

I've fixed Inkscape to actually respect the filterUnits (and primitiveUnits) propertie(s), but now I need to be able to access the viewport dimensions for the filtered object... As far as I have been able to find this is only available reliably from SPItemCtx. But for a filter I need to access this not for the filter itself, but rather for the filtered object... Any help would be appreciated. Getting this right would fix the following bug btw.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/229246

Advertising at StackOverflow
by Manuel Strehl 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Hello, Disclaimer: *This is no advertisement.* If it doesn't get clear from the following, I'm in no way associated with the owners of StackOverflow.com. (I mention this, because after reading the mail again, it could be interpreted the wrong way.) The Q&A platform StackOverflow offers open source projects free ad space to recruit new developers [1]. The method is quite simple: If you want to have an ad there, place it as answer to the question linked as [1] and hope for other people to upvote it. After a certain threshold of upvotes it gets published for free on stackoverflow.com. Since Inkscape hasn't got an ad proposal there, yet, I thought I'd suggest one. It must be 220px x 220px and GIF or PNG, and my suggestion is [2]. If noone on the list objects (especially against using the Inkscape logo) I'd upload the proposal to meta.stackoverflow.com during the weekend. If there are suggestions for other banners, mine can easily be exchanged afterwards. I write this mail just because I don't want to do the ad kind of behind the back of the Inkscape developers. By the way: What would be your suggestion for the backlink the ad should point to? The wiki? The Inkscape homepage? Cheers, Manuel [1] http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/31913 [2] http://static.manuel-strehl.de/StillImage/inkscape_promo.png

still trying to build 0.47
by Britton Kerin 16 Apr '10

I'm working against a clean debian stable environment now, I think. The current problem appears to be with an undocumented dependency on ImageMagick (I think on an old version of ImageMagick). ImageMagick doesn't show up in this list: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tracking_Dependencies The build finally dies like this: Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory `/home/bkerin/tmp/inkscape-0.47/src' g++ -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -Woverloaded-virtual -Wswitch -Wno-unused-parameter -g -O2 -fopenmp --export-dynamic -Wl,-z,relro -o inkscape main.o libinkscape.a dom/libdom.a libcroco/libcroco.a libavoid/libavoid.a libgdl/libgdl.a libcola/libcola.a libvpsc/libvpsc.a livarot/libvarot.a 2geom/lib2geom.a libinkversion.a -pthread -L/home/bkerin/opt/gnome_clean/lib -lgtkmm-2.4 -latkmm-1.6 -lgdkmm-2.4 -lgiomm-2.4 -lpangomm-1.4 -lglibmm-2.4 -lcairomm-1.0 -lxslt -lxml2 -lsigc-2.0 -lgtkspell -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lz -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lpng12 -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm -lpng -lz -lgomp -lpopt -laspell -pthread -L/home/bkerin/opt/gnome_clean/lib -lgnomevfs-2 -lgconf-2 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lfontconfig -L/home/bkerin/opt/gnome_clean/lib -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lz -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -L/home/bkerin/local/lib -lfreetype -lz -lMagick++ -lWand -lMagick -lgc -llcms -lpoppler -lpoppler-glib /usr/bin/ld: warning: librt.so.1, needed by /home/bkerin/opt/gnome_clean/lib/libgthread-2.0.so, may conflict with librt.so.19 /usr/bin/ld: warning: librt.so.1, needed by /home/bkerin/opt/gnome_clean/lib/libgthread-2.0.so, may conflict with librt.so.19 libinkscape.a(addNoise.o): In function `Inkscape::Extension::Internal::Bitmap::AddNoise::applyEffect(Magick::Image*)': /home/bkerin/tmp/inkscape-0.47/src/extension/internal/bitmap/addNoise.cpp:29: undefined reference to `Magick::Image::addNoise(MagickLib::NoiseType)' libinkscape.a(channel.o): In function `Inkscape::Extension::Internal::Bitmap::Channel::applyEffect(Magick::Image*)': /home/bkerin/tmp/inkscape-0.47/src/extension/internal/bitmap/channel.cpp:32: undefined reference to `Magick::Image::channel(MagickLib::ChannelType)' libinkscape.a(levelChannel.o): In function `Inkscape::Extension::Internal::Bitmap::LevelChannel::applyEffect(Magick::Image*)': /home/bkerin/tmp/inkscape-0.47/src/extension/internal/bitmap/levelChannel.cpp:33: undefined reference to `Magick::Image::levelChannel(MagickLib::ChannelType, double, double, double)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [inkscape] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bkerin/tmp/inkscape-0.47/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bkerin/tmp/inkscape-0.47' make: *** [all] Error 2 I know I've seen that librt error before as well, though I don't recall what the fix was or if it was needed.

GSoC Entry - Inkscape Export Pane
by Alex Trujillo 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hey folks; I had submitted a second proposal last Friday, and though I was very busy this weekend, I now have found the time to ask for input on the new one. I noticed nobody replied to my earlier message, so I'll just reintroduce myself. I've been using Inkscape for years, and have done a fair amount of work in it. This alone doesn't qualify me for application to the GSoC, so I'll just leave this link to Nanoblok, a project I've worked on for quite some time, to demonstrate my ability to write JavaScript: http://code.google.com/p/nanoblok/ I know Inkscape has the capability to use JavaScript extensions, and I've noticed a couple of files written in that language in the source, but I most likely won't be using that when working with what I want to do, and I recognize this. What I want to do is, well, to enhance the export system of Inkscape, make it more intuitive and integrated by merging the Export As and Save As dialogs together into a single pane, with selection features that were developed for the bitmap exporter also being able to work with vector export / saving. One problem with the current system this would solve is that Save As might make the user feel they can reload using that format and not lose anything, whereas the only original document with all their settings and information would be an Inkscape SVG. So, by labeling all other formats, both bitmap and vector, as Export, and placing them under a single dialog, there is less confusion, as well as the opportunity to more easily add additional formats and functionality. This is all illustrated and detailed here, in the following public Google Doc: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcePN-K69iVuZDI2ajlmYl85MzM2Yzg1Y2pkOA&hl… At any rate, let me know what you think of this! - Alex

Hello all, Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/562592. There is a pretty important bug in the PDF export. Currently, paths with transparency are misaligned. Does someone know more about this? I've already done some digging, but I'm stuck. I'd greatly appreciate someone else's help. Thanks, Johan

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
