You have to have some potential snap targets (some drawing) in order to reproduce it: 1. Have some drawing on the canvas, 2. select the pen tool, 3. move your mouse quickly for some time, 4. click somewhere near a drawing for a new line. You will notice that the snap indicator appears correctly on the grid, put the line starts somewhere in between... Arcadie

Fix for bug #459811 - can't switch ellipse mode
by Krzysztof Kosiński 30 Oct '09

Hello Attached is a fix for bug #459811. The case was a typo (missing slash) in toolbox.cpp which I probably made when refactoring preferences code. Please commit. Regards, Krzysztof Kosiński

0.47, probably not in the next week
by Joshua A. Andler 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hey All, Subject says it all. My family is moving this week and Jon & I will be at Google HQ this weekend for the GSoC Mentor's summit. I will not have a chance to review any patches until I am back early next week. Bulia, if you see any good and safe ones, feel free to wreak havoc. ;) Honestly, if someone wanted to take a look at the LPE Undo issues (change a param on any LPE and then hit undo). It would probably save us a ton of grief with user complaints if it could be fixed (obviously, only if the issue is not to complex). Cheers, Josh

About box graphics in 0.47
by Alexandre Prokoudine 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi, Just so it doesn't slip, are we not forgetting to replace graphics in the About dialog with the contest winning picture? (and prepare the one that was No.2 for 0.48 development cycle?) Alexandre

my latest commit: a followup
by bulia byak 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Somehow in all our discussions about refactoring, few if any mentions were made of the long-standing code duplication: the "new GUI" switch and the fact that src/widgets/desktop-widget has been duplicated in ui/view/edit-widget. This second copy lingers there for at least two years, unused, with little progress. Do we still need it? As I vaguely remember, at least one of the reasons for starting it was to get collapsable toolbars, but we have them now working fine with the old UI. Will anyone object if I remove ui/view/edit-widget and related unused code post-0.47? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

versioning scheme
by Alexandre Prokoudine 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, This mail can lead to all sorts of flamewars, hunting with pitchforks etc., but what the hell... :) Don't know for you, but to me Inkscape seems to be inside the <1.0 loop forever, whereas people all around effectively use it for solving Real Life (C)(R)(tm) tasks. Yes, it is unbearably slow, it cannot work as a standalone prepress tool and so on and so forth. Nevertheless, it's real tool, not toy. That is, in a way the current <1.0 versioning quite misrepresents Inkscape and its features. Lately Hugin (which is a panorama making tool) project adopted the YEAR.EVEN/ODD versioning scheme. Should we probably discuss whether we need something like that? This would be another way to deal with the roadmap that we don't really follow anyway. /me ducks Alexandre

Lauchpad milestones
by Nicolas Dufour 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, Could someone update the Launchpad milestones so that we can target the bugs and wishlists to the next releases? (0.48 and 0.49)? 0.47alpha, 0.47beta, 0.47rc1, 0.47.0 and 0.47.1 are not very useful and we could probably remove them safely. (0.47.1 has 5 reports which should be targeted 0.48, and the others none.) Thanks! -- Nicolas

Bug in snapping (using pen tool)
by Arcadie Cracan 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hello, I've found a misbehaviour in the latest svn regarding snapping. Using pen tool, with snap to grid enabled there are times when the first point of a polyline drawn using the pen tool is not on the grid. I have investigated this a little and it seems that at (random?) times the snapping gets "postponed globally"... I don't know why this could happen. Does anybody have a clue? Thanks, Arcadie Cracan
