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."*

r9059/60: pencil tool sometimes fails when node snapping to grid is active
by ~suv 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

One of the changes in recent revisions 9059 or 9060 makes the pencil tool act strangely with default snapping settings (global node snapping enabled) while a grid is visible and set as active snapping target: it seems as if some key press or release events don't get processed immediately. To reproduce: draw freehand curves with different mouse speed and timing of left-mouse-button-clicks. Sometimes neither the path outline while dragging nor the finished line when releasing the left mouse button are visible, yet the starting point is picked up for and added to a later drawn curve. It does not happen with no grid visible nor when global snapping is disabled. This is reproducible with my usual preference settings as well as with a default (new) preferences.xml file. I haven't seen it in earlier revisions <= 9058, but can reproduce it with Inkscape 0.47+devel r9060 and r9061 on OS X 10.5.8 ~suv

performance 047 vs. 046 Mac OS X 10.4
by Wolf Drechsel 06 Feb '10

06 Feb '10

Hello friends, after having built 0.47 for Mac OS X 10.4, I got the feeling that it is quite a bit slower than 0.46 was. Now I tried to verify that suspicion (all done on a G4, 1350MHz, 960MB RAM): Launching inkscape + X11: 047: 27s 046: 17s Opening a very tiny SVG file (3350B), inkscape already open: 047: 4s 046: 2s Opening a more complex SVG file, inkscape already open: 047: 5s 046: 4s Importing a pdf file with lots of text, than selecting all and ungrouping all the contents (time is just for the ungrouping): 047: 16s 046: 8s Probabely this is just an issue of my home brew thing - but maybe this is an issue which is more easily noticeable on such a slow machine like mine. So I'd be grateful if people on other platforms would cross-check that. In the case it is a general issue it may be well worth to put some effort in fixing it in 048. Greetings, Wolf

Exchange position of two objects
by Nicolas Dufour 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hi, Roland Meub has posted a patch to implement this nice feature (see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171944). It compiles and works correctly on Ubuntu 9.10, and the only glitch I've found is related to 3Dbox (unexpected translations). Could a C++ expert review this code and commit? Regards, -- Nicolas

Node tool committed to trunk
by Krzysztof Kosiński 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

The new node tool is now in the trunk - please test and report any bugs. I made a few last minute improvements inspired by the discussion. New features are listed in the release notes: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.48#Node_Tool I also made a new icon for the spray tool. It's much better than the old one, but there's still something not quite right with it. Regards, Krzysztof
