Is there anybody interested in implementig quicktorials into Inkscape? The integrating video tutorial project (http://quicktorials.org) is beginning to be usable and ready for some real implementations. There is a "Help" section on the page, but I would be happy to discuss any arising questions. Cheers, Robert

inkscape aqua - tried again
by Wolf Drechsel 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hello friends, I tried again to build an inkscape aqua… I uninstalled all X11-related components first, than reinstalled the quartz/aqua variants, finally did a selfupdate above all. I ended up with an inkscape build which launches, shows a window for a fraction of a second, and than crashes. Here are the terminal messages: > ** (inkscape:630): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document* > sp_repr_read_file(const gchar*, const gchar*): assertion > `Inkscape::IO::file_test( filename, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS )' failed > > ** (inkscape:630): WARNING **: Unable to read keys file Contents/ > Resources/keys/default.xml > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.manual > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.keys > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.askaquestion > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.commandline > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.faq > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.relnotes > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.reportabug > Unable to find: org.inkscape.help.svgspec > > (inkscape:630): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion > `object->ref_count > 0' failed > > (inkscape:630): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion > `object->ref_count > 0' failed As far as I remember, similar messages occured when launching my working version last year, so probabely we dont have to care too much on that. These are a few lines from crash reporter: > Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) > Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000 > > Thread 0 Crashed: > 0 <<00000000>> 0x00000000 0 + 0 > 1 libgdk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x02347c44 gdk_window_destroy + 36 > 2 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x021100b8 gtk_widget_real_unrealize > + 168 > 3 inkscape 0x00140af0 sp_canvas_unrealize > (_GtkWidget*) + 320 > 4 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0251a014 g_closure_invoke + 436 > 5 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252cfcc signal_emit_unlocked_R + > 3452 > 6 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e30c g_signal_emit_valist + 2012 > 7 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e580 g_signal_emit + 48 > 8 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0210c5e0 gtk_widget_unrealize + 256 > 9 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0206fa3c gtk_table_forall + 76 > 10 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x02110090 gtk_widget_real_unrealize > + 128 > 11 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0251a014 g_closure_invoke + 436 > 12 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252cfcc signal_emit_unlocked_R + > 3452 > 13 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e30c g_signal_emit_valist + 2012 > 14 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e580 g_signal_emit + 48 > 15 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0210c5e0 gtk_widget_unrealize + 256 > 16 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0200935c gtk_paned_forall + 124 > 17 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x02110090 gtk_widget_real_unrealize > + 128 > 18 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0251a014 g_closure_invoke + 436 > 19 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252cfcc signal_emit_unlocked_R + > 3452 > 20 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e30c g_signal_emit_valist + 2012 > 21 libgobject-2.0.0.dylib 0x0252e580 g_signal_emit + 48 > 22 libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib 0x0210c5e0 gtk_widget_unrealize + 256 I can find some google hits on "gdk_window_destroy" - but its far ahead my knowledge to draw any wisdom from it. I'd be grateful for some hints where to start research - inkscape, macports, gtk2 ?? - Who is the person (list, forum) to ask first - any hints would be appreciated. Yours Wolf

node handles
by MilesTogoe 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

I keep running into the situation where instead of 2 handles I only have one - I suspect the missing handle is actually centered on the node itself but there doesn't seem to be any way to get at it. As I cursor around I get all the handles, not just the 'selected node". so is there a way to: a) just get the handles for the selected node ? b) way to highlight the handle points so even if it's on a node, a user can click on it ? or is the 2nd handle sometimes not there ? I think this is somewhat a user question, but also a design/development question.

Selecting Clipped Objects
by Alex Leone 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

Hi everyone, I spent a lot of time this weekend trying to wrap my head around how an object gets selected to no avail. My goal is to fix this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/365458 Currently selection of clipped objects is horribly broken - see http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31755891/clip-selection-bug.ogv Anyway, can someone explain: 1. What handles click events on the canvas 2. Where is the logic that decides what gets selected >From what I can tell, display/sp-canvas.cpp:1505 sp_canvas_button (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventButton *event) handles click events. Within this function I don't see any calls to anything that resembles "is this point within this object". Help! Thanks! - Alex

SourceForge Removes Blanket Blocking

let's unblock it! SourceForge Removes Blanket Blocking<http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/02/08/1620238/SourceForge-Removes-Blanket-…> on Monday February 08, @12:12PM Posted by ScuttleMonkey <http://slashdot.org/%7EScuttleMonkey/> on Monday February 08, @12:12PM from the power-to-the-people dept. government <http://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=government> Recently there was much gnashing of teeth as SourceForge (who shares a corporate overlord with Slashdot) started programmatically blocking users in certain countries<http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/01/25/1854241/SourceForge-Clarifies-Denial…>to comply with US export restrictions. Thankfully they didn't let it end there and have found a way to put the power back in the hands of the users<http://ow.ly/14U1k>. *"Beginning now, every project admin can click on Develop -> Project Admin -> Project Settings to find a new section called Export Control. By default, we've ticked the more restrictive setting. If you conclude that your project is *not* subject to export regulations, or any other related prohibitions, you may now tick the other check mark and click Update. After that, all users will be able to download your project files as they did before last month's change."*
