Can't edit the wiki - content gets erased when saving
by Lucas Vieites 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi, I trying to create this wiki page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047-es with the copied content from http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047 but when I save the content keeps getting erased and appears completely blank. This only happens when I copy the complete text of the original release notes, not when I copy small parts of it. I seems to break at a certain number of characters. Is this a known behaviour? (I'm using Firefox 3.0.13 on Suse Linux) If this persists, what can I do? Should I breakthe Release notes in two pages? Thanks, -- Lucas Vieites Blog: http://blog.codexion.com/

Packages and Future releases
by Joshua A. Andler 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hey All, I think we should have a strategy for future releases where all packages are uploaded at once (perhaps a private staging area where packagers upload to first). We have had a bunch of release "announcements" and links to the packages on SF showing up on Twitter. It would be nice to control this better in the future. Cheers, Josh

The status of that is on that wiki page. I've signed up for a handful of places, can't say I've seen others...

So, PR crew, do we have things lined up to get the word out, places we need to post, articles we can write, interviews we can go on, etc. :-)

Quicktorials - ID
by Robert Martinez 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi there, I need advice! I'm working on a new system that can provide free software GUI applications (like Inkscape, Scribus, GIMP, ...) with video tutorials directly linked to the GUI. Short: you click on an unknown button - and a browser pops up and shows what it does (html5/ogg-theora). My question concerns the identifier that links the functional part of the application to the video: How do you think such an ID should look like? You can also have a look at http://wiki.quicktorials.org to see what ideas were raised so far, or you can see the website in its early stage http://quicktorials.org. I would love to see a a standard that is easy to use by any project! Greetings from Germany, Robert

File Export (Save-As) Tests for v0.47
by Tavmjong Bah 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hi, I've tested all the various file export options under the Save As command. Would the relavent experts for each type please review my comments/questions below? All test were done with Fedora 9 Linux and 0.46+svn updated within the past couple of days. Thanks. Tav General comment: I am having trouble getting Uniconvertor to work from within Inkscape. It won't process files with text (error message about not finding correct font). Files without text produce SVG output (Uniconvertor 1.1.4), independent of which file type is selected. Or error message about not finding SVG file in /tmp (Uniconvertor 1.1.3). I may have screwed something up but Uniconvertor does work when used via the command line (as in "uniconv test.svg test.plt") to directly convert SVG files to other types. Does anybody have it working from within Inkscape under Linux? File Format: .ai: Missing. Failed to load message in extension-errors.log (same error for DXF and ESPI). Works in v0.46. .dfx: Generic AutoCAD export failed to load (see .ai). Plotter version updated. Question: what is the target if the "ROBO-Master output" option is not checked? .emf: Does this still only work on Windows? Uses Uniconvertor. .eps: This is using the same export dialog as PS. Is this appropriate given that the bounding box is handled differently? Speaking of which, while the specifications do say the bounding box should be the smallest rectangle that fully encloses the drawing, it is a common practice (and very useful in scientific work) to define the box to be bigger than the drawing. In reading the specification, it seems to me, that they were more concerned that the bounding box takes into account stroke width, etc. than in prohibiting bounding boxes larger than the drawing size. I think it should be left up to the user to decide this. In the past "Canvas" has been used to refer to the entire drawing area while "Page" has been used to refer to the SVG specified drawing area. The dialogs and command line options should use "Page" wherever "Canvas" is used. .fx I see small bugs in gradients and displaying a pattern. .gpl OK. .hpgl I see bugs in object transformations. Uniconvertor as of 1.1.4 also generates .hpgl files. Uniconvertor doesn't handle Inkscape circles. .odg. Small translation problems. .pdf. Generally OK. Bug in patterns made from a group of objects drawn off the page. Export dialog almost the same as for EPS and PS but small differences in wording and in order of options. Should match with EPS and PS dialog. .plt Uses Uniconvertor. Tool tip etc. state it is AutoCAD plot file... but this is really, as far as I can tell, just HPGL. .png Duplicates "Export Bitmap" menu entry but without handling Filtered objects. .pov Broken in v0.47. Extra lines are added to object descriptions. Works in v0.46 (some paths missing). .ps See EPS and PDF comments. .sk1 Uses Uniconvertor. .svg OK .svgz Broken in v0.47. Works in v0.46 .tex PSTricks OK, PSFrag needs work-around due to Cairo font subsetting. .xcf OK .wmf Uses Uniconvertor. .xaml Objects translated wrong (could be xaml input problem). .zip OK.

Mac OS X compiling prob
by Wolf Drechsel 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hello everybody, as I'm running into the well-known "gnuplot-inkscape"-bug of 0.46, and unluckily no 0.47 ppc precompiled packages are available, I tried to compile the most recent package myself on Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC. After "./configure" I run into this error message: configure: error: libpng >= 1.2 is needed to compile inkscape But I do have a suitable libpng: port installed libpng The following ports are currently installed: libpng @1.2.38_0 (active) So this may be a path issue - I googled that several people had this problem as well, but couldnt find how to resolve it. Any hint would be appreciated. Greetings, Wolf
