I am running OS X 10.12.6 One small bug. When starting Inks, it doesn't become the top window. The window is buried; you have to activate it manually.

Hi, is there any ongoing projects with goal of making inkscape also as modular UX/UI design tool ?
by cosmobird 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

in my search for foss design tool for UX/UI, Flow design and organization, so far only very few are available, out of that only few seems to be working (with some hardwork). but most of them are proprietary solutions or else oriented towards it. afaik, inkscape has better design features than any other design tool out there ... however it lacks a few features to make it as a design tool for any front end designer. those are : 1. svg to code conversion 2. library management for projects 3. parametric design convention 4. standard templates 5. animation if those are made available through python, then it will become invincible, and i dont know about akira so far, tried but failed to build several times in this year. like this : 1. select a target device, 2. choose a template dimension, 3. make flow for ux (from synthesized user flow in ux design with api), 4. collect/make icons, fonts, color palettes, 5. get standard components for the chosen device, 6. integrate together activity by activity in each discrete flow part of the 3 step. 7. convert every single ui from step 6 to css or android xml so that the layers, objects can be reused in Qt, Android, React. This would definitely give free software projects an upper hand among the developer community like Fdroid, and other web based projects. However some very few projects are avaible in FOSS with such ideas, are no where near to inkscapes design versality. regards cosmobird.

Per wiki page - request wiki login
by David C. Rankin 07 Apr '20

Inkscape devs, I was looking though the 1.0 Beta Release Notes, and came across screenshots showing the new Gtk+3 interface. I wanted to drop a note in the talk (discussion) section related to the need to control icon size as the current Gtk+3 icons take up roughly 200% of the equivalent Gtk+2 icons. Specifically looking at: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:Origin_in_upper_left_pa… This has been a huge problem for all applications that have attempted the Gtk+2 to Gtk+3 switch. As a result of the toolkit change, many of the icon bars that neatly fit in the space available on a laptop, now spill over into elipseized button menus and the actual drawing screen real-estate is reduced dramatically. Gimp has managed a reasonable balance where many other major apps and editors have failed. I would like to follow and contribute to the discussion on the upcoming 1.0 beta release on the wiki and would therefore request a wiki account (I'm a real breathing human and not a spam bot or spammer) Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Mentorship
by Marc Jeanmougin 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hi devs ! In these weird times, I hope you're all well and healthy, as well as your families, Inkscape is a community before anything else so the well-being of everyone is a priority. This year we have seen a great increase in the number of applicants to the summer of code, and to make the most of it, we need mentors :) Mentoring a student takes time, and there is a strong incentive to have co-mentoring or backup mentors to ensure students have people they can go to if they have questions and to make the life of mentors easier :) . So if you know the inner workings of the code and/or are or used to be a regular contributor, and if you are willing to try to (co-)mentor a student this year, please step up and contact me :) Mentor guide : https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/ > *Mentor*: Mentors are people from the community who volunteer to work with a student. Mentors provide guidance such as pointers to useful documentation, code reviews, etc. In addition to providing students with feedback and pointers, a mentor acts as an ambassador to help student contributors integrate into their project’s community. Some organizations choose to assign more than one mentor to each of their students. Many members of the community provide guidance to their project’s GSoC students without mentoring in an “official” capacity, much as they would answer anyone’s questions on the project’s mailing list or IRC channel. (alex and tweenk, there are people applying in your areas of expertise (gtk and boolops), so if you feel you'll have enough time and if you want … ;) ) -- Mc

GSoC proposal for Path Library Improvement
by Moazin Khatri 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hi everyone, I am Moazin, a BS student at Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences and I am applying for Google Summer of Code 2020. I want to work on the Path Library Improvement project. Inkscape relies on two libraries for its geometry related operations. One is *lib2geom* which was designed specially for Inkscape and the other is *livarot*, a library written in somewhere in 2003 that has some unique features which *lib2geom* doesn't have. Features such as: path simplification, line scanning (flowing text), path offset/Inset, boolean operations and some modes of Tweak Tool. While *livarot* is functionally good, it's quite outdated. It was written long ago and it's extremely hard to understand it or maintain it. The goal of this project is to implement all of these features either in *lib2geom* or outside it while using *lib2geom's* features as much as possible. You can see my proposal here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11iwmv0SWiVeZh6cjj5Ooze2WdgkqMZhNJeN0hMr… Please let me know if you have any feedback. :-) I've shared this in the chat already, I just forgot to introduce myself in this list. :-D Regards, Moazin

GSoC proposal for GPU rendering using Pathfinder
by Emmanuel Gil Peyrot 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hello everyone! Some of you may know me from the IRC channel as linkmauve, this year I’m applying for the Google Summer of Code! I’m a computer science student from France, and I’ve been interested in computer graphics for a long while. I started quite a few years ago when I was working on emulators (such as Citra and Dolphin), I eventually wrote a shader compiler for running 3DS graphics on ARM processors, tried my hand at the demoscene, and wrote the 3D transitions in LibreOffice Impress. But now I want to bring that knowledge to more useful projects, from which a lot of artists who use them every day could benefit. My goal is to bring GPU rendering to Inkscape, in a way that is both portable, performant, maintainable, and understandable by future maintainers. In order to do that, I suggest to use Pathfinder, a library Mozilla is working on, for canvas and SVG rendering, so that efforts improving it can be pooled between the two organisations. People from the organisation should be able to see my first draft here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/student/proposal/585975664161… Other people can see it here: https://linkmauve.fr/gsoc/ If anyone has any comment, remark, question or suggestion for this project, please let me know! I’m a bit late submitting it, I prioritised gathering information about the project and almost ran out of time to do the actual proposal, before even reading the GSoC guidelines… Anyway, I hope you’ll find this project useful and interesting, and that I’ll have the pleasure to work on it with you all! :) -- Emmanuel Gil Peyrot
