Warning cleanup of hash-iness
by Jon Cruz 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Well... it looks like Krzysztof found us a nice, tricky problem in regards to the whole hash_map/unordered_list mess. What he has been tripped up by is one of those ugly problems with no simple solutions. First, we have legacy code that is using a gcc extension. Not so good. Next the replacement has problems on many systems. So we don't have a tidy solution. General questions for any thing with warnings, etc. * Are the warnings critical? That is, do they indicate some immediate risk/failure? If so, then we should address them sooner * Do we need to be using it? That is, are there any alternatives to the code creating warnings? Things such as vector instead of list, map instead of hash_map, etc. * Can we encapsulate it? That is, do we need to leave things in .h files that other things include, or can they be moved inside specific files? * Is there a clean way to fix at least some of the warnings? For some, this may be as simple as using an explicit variable instead of a temporary. In this case there appears not to be * Is it cross-platform? Remember, we need to keep Inkscape compatible with multiple platforms, including MS Windows, Linux, OS X, BSD, Solaris, etc. I'll try to follow up on a few of these points.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Writing extensions using Java
by Jesper Näsström 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi, I am contemplating a diagramming project (open source, of course) in Java and believe Inkscape would make a great canvas. However the degree of support for Java is unclear to me. It would need to have dialogue boxes and be interactive, so a filter does not seem enough. Guess there may be potential behind the curtain, or is this simply not the best way to go ahead? Best regards, Jesbox

toolbars
by bulia byak 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Jon, Thanks for your work on toolbars. It will be nice to have the ability to make them vertical. However: - PLEASE describe your changes in Release Notes - I think it would be even more useful to have the ability to put two or more toolbars on the same horizontal or vertical strip, next to each other. Will your refactoring allow for that? - I assume the now-vertical snapping toolbar is more of a demonstration - I really don't see much reason to single it out for vertical placement? - Still, I couldn't re-attach the snapping toolbar into a horizontal position anywhere. It's either its original vertical position at the right, or floating. And re-attaching it to the original position is also quite difficult - the magnetic zone is very small. Can you affect this or is this unfixable in GTK? - Will you be able to block standalone floating state for toolbars? As discussed many times, they sink under the main window which makes them unusable. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

node tool - color of helperpath
by unknown＠example.com 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hi Krzysztof, I've been fiddling a bit with the new node tool. It's nice! But, the color of the helperpath of a path with an LPE applied is confusing. The original path used to be colored red, and the LPE-path-parameter green (or to another color if set by the LPE itself). Could you change the green back to red for the original path? Thanks, Johan

UI issues...
by bulia byak 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

My previous query was somehow sidetracked, so here it is again: - Can anyone give rationale for "Print colors preview" being in Display modes? If not I will remove it from there, as I explained it looks very out of place next to Outline and No filters. Also: - We also have "Color-managed view" in the same menu. Duplicate? If they are genuinely different, please name them to better reflect this difference, and place both in an appropriate submenu of View. Otherwise, merge them. And: - We again have two Input Devices commands. Can we finally decide one way or the other? Does the new one fully work? If so delete the old one, otherwise hide the new until it is ready. Thanks! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Spray tool icon
by bulia byak 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

The new icon by Krzysztof is a step in the right direction, but it's still somehow out of place on the toolbar. Hey artists, don't you want to get famous by drawing one of the always-visible Inkscape tool icons? :) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
