Move Inkscape to C++17
by Tavmjong Bah 06 May '20

06 May '20

Hi, There has been discussion of moving Inkscape to C++17. See: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=C%2B%2B17 All of the platforms we support have support for C++17 (and have for several years). https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tracking_Dependencies#Distros If no one objects, I will push a commit in the next week to require C++17.

Need help with random transform in cache
by Jabier Arraiza Cenoz 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hi all. I need help with this about random scaling of cached elements to document units. In the function "scheduleTransform" in "src/display/drawing- item.cpp:603" I recive randomly not scale/document scale affine in "ctm_change" var. Can anyone give a look I spend 2 days on it without result... to me is a 1.0 blocker. Asume you have this conditions to test: * Inkscape with cache enabled (size>0) * Document units diferent than pixels Testing: * Output the affine "ctm_change" prefiously mentioned. * Open inkscape. * Draw a bigest circle that cover your screen. * Create multiple text with click + type some leters as fast you can over the circle. When the circle become a box, see the output and you discober there is a diferent scaling with the doc scale, normaly is 0 scale. Thanks so much for get into, Jabier.

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.
