Moving to Frost stage...
by Joshua A. Andler 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hey All, To move from Chill to Frost we need to do some things. 1) Get most 'make check' issues resolved. I can probably help with some of these and will try to and see what I can pull off this week, however, additional help would be appreciated as I need to get our GSoC stuff rolling and in order. 2) Get current 'make distcheck' issues resolved. I have not reviewed how this is done yet, so, experienced volunteers are appreciated. 3) Get current builds available. We do have fairly recent win32 and non-universal osx builds available. If I could have users other than the people who produced those builds confirm viability, that would be great! 4) Start the About Screen contest. The only thing necessary for this is to get #3 done. Speaking of this, any ideas on a potential theme this time (if we want to go that route)? Cheers, Josh

Bug importance guidelines?
by Krzysztof Kosiński 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hello Do we have any bug importance guidelines? I'm asking because some of my bugs had absurdly high importances. This node toolbar "bug" that is a cosmetic change in UI got "High" - same as the flowtext issue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/534045 This preferences "bug" that affected a developer-only debug setting got "Critical" - same as graphic tablets not working on Windows. (and I don't even agree with classifying this as a bug - for me it's an incorrect use of preferences) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/367752 Regards, Krzysztof

Hey all, Obviously we do not know if we will be getting accepted to GSoC, however it would probably be good to know who's willing to possibly be a mentor this year. Any volunteers? Cheers, Josh

ocal v2.0 import/export

Hi, So, we have OCAL v2.0 that uses a new engine now. Importing does work, so kudos for keeping backwards compatibility :) But maybe the new team behind OCAL v2 could work on fixing the exporting? Alexandre

Hey Everyone! The LGM will be in Brussels at the end of May. http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2010/ The pledgie campaign is open for donation! http://pledgie.com/campaigns/8926 and the Design and Architecture committee of the Flemish ministry for culture is supporting LGM2010! http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/news/governmental-support-for-lgm But we need more. And you can help! Please spread the word about the pledgie campaign. The libre graphics community itself has been one of the biggest sponsors of our main event. It's a fantastic way for all the users of free graphics tools out there to make a contribution too... but not if they don't know about it. So please - dent, tweet, blog, and post to mailing lists about the LGM and about the pledgie campaign. Please forward this message to other libre graphics developer groups you're involved with. http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2010/ http://pledgie.com/campaigns/8926 -- Donna Benjamin Libre Graphics Meeting, Brussels 27-30 May, 2010 http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2010/

Work on NFT dialog for GSOC 2010
by Albin Manoël 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi developers, I found something on the blueprint that I really want to work on :-) It's the NFT dialog : « New From Template » dialog. For more informations see : http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/NewFromTemplateSpec I think that I have sufficient skills in order to work on this improvement. And It could be great if I can work on this for the Google Summer of Code 2010. Is there anybody who wants to be my « mentor » ? :-) Good night. Albin Manoël

[NEW] Very simple fix for the image embedding problem
by Krzysztof Kosiński 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello I wondered for some time how to add an "embed" checkbox to the import dialog, but it wasn't necessary - I used the extension parameters feature. I fixed the embedding of images in the following way: 1. If a bitmap file is imported, a dialog appears that asks the user whether to link. (Same when opening a bitmap image.) 2. When a bitmap file URI is dragged over Inkscape's window, a dialog appears as in 1. 3. When pixel data is dragged over Inkscape's window, it is embedded an no dialog is shown. 4. When a bitmap file URI is pasted, nothing happens (for now) - that's because the clipboard doesn't support URI lists yet. 5. When pixel data is pasted, it is embedded as in 3. As a bonus, all bitmap import should now use the same code path. Regards, Krzysztof

Devlibs bug supervisor
by Krzysztof Kosiński 07 Mar '10

Hello I changed the maintainer of Inkscape Devlips in Launchpad from myself to Inkscape Administrators. It was required to set the same bug team as for Inkscape. Can one of the admins set the bug supervisor to Inkscape Bug Team? https://launchpad.net/inkscape-devlibs Regards, Krzysztof

object and stroke to path buttons missing from node tool controls bar - bug 534045
by Donna Benjamin 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

I have added a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/534045 the 'object to path' and 'stroke to path' buttons have gone AWOL. There were after the 'make selected segments curves' button but aren't there now. I went looking in node preferences to see if I could turn them on again, but there is no option to do so. I reckon these are pretty fundamental node options... as you can't use the node tool on shapes until you've made the conversion. Yes, there are keyboard shortcuts, and they are also the first items in the path menu - but a quick icon click beats both those methods for me. Can we please have them back? And if not, a rationale for why they've been removed, and a configurable option to turn them on again? thanks! - D. -- Donna Benjamin - kattekrab.net Inkscape: Open Source Scalable Vector Graphics http://www.inkscape.org
