Quicktorials
by Robert Martinez 11 Feb '10

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

Can anyone else reach the newsforge server?
