Sorry for storming into this discussion (I'm not much into guides), but wouldn't this be solved if we had right click menus that were actually contextual? A guide could then by deleted by right clicking it and selecting Delete Guide. I don't think making guides selectable is a good idea, because barring any ugly hacks we can only select SPObjects.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Bitmap oversampling broken in Inkscape-0.47pre3-2.LEOPARD+ ?
by Guillermo Espertino 02 Oct '09

It's already fixed. A patch to fix snapping of bitmap pixels to grids made this happen, but that patch was already reverted and it's fixed. I reported the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437384. You should try with a newer build. Gez.

Bitmap oversampling broken in Inkscape-0.47pre3-2.LEOPARD+ ?
by Jens Persson 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Hello all, My name is Jens Persson and I've been using Inkscape a lot the last three years, both on PC and Mac, mainly for mobile application GUI design, and I'm always waiting for the next release. The 0.47pre3 for Leopard suddenly doesn't do any interpolation of imported bitmap images any more, so I had to switch back to 0.47pre2. Can anyone else confirm this problem and if it is being dealt with? (e.g. try rotating an imported png image, jaggy nearest neighbour no matter what you set the "Oversample bitmap" to). I could not find any mention of it in the bug tracker. Kind Regards, Jens Persson

SVG Color 1.2
by Jon A. Cruz 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Finally!!!! SVG 1.2 color stuff is out in the wild. (Well, specs at least) "...The implication of this is that it is possible to use a fully colormanaged workflow (using SVG 1.0 onwards) that supports a full CMYK pipeline via the use of ICC profiles." "...SVG Color introduces the ability to use so-called 'named' or 'spot' colors. Named colors are used in many print applications and are supported in SVG Print through the use of ICC named color profiles." http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-SVGColorPrimer12-20091001/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-SVGColor12-20091001/

Hey all, Will the author of or someone knowledgeable about the JavaFX export please fill in the Release Notes? I imagine that it shouldn't take you but 5 painless minutes at most. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047#JavaFX_export Cheers, Josh

lp:inkscape branch in Launchpad
by Krzysztof Kosiński 30 Sep '09

The lp:inkscape branch in Launchpad is out of sync with SVN, there is some error when importing. Can someone try to unwedge it? Maybe completely removing it and importing again from scratch would help? Regards, Krzysztof

[NEW] Waf build
by Krzysztof Kosiński 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hello all I just managed to build Inkscape using Waf as the build system. Although the documentation of Waf isn't complete and writing the scripts involved some guesswork and reading the source, it made a lot of things very easy when compared to Autotools or CMake (for example, the SVN revision feature). Currently it works for Linux builds, but supporting Windows and OSX only requires some tweaking. It doesn't do anything beyond building yet (like installation, updating translation templates, generating manpages and the like), but I'm working on it.

URI is EVIL!!!
by Jon A. Cruz 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi, Just wanted to point out that technically URI classes are not usable for our assets. For example, it is tempting to use an URI to resolve an asset to the base document path. The problem is that a URI according to the RFC's is not usable for file paths. Glib and friends properly implement URI, therefore we can't use them for files. In the future we can probably use IRI's or our own classes for references and assets, etc. However URI's are not usable. I'm pointing this out since we are just about to release, but I tracked down a critical bug to being caused by this. In the near term we should search through the codebase for improper uses of URI classes. The tricky thing is that they will appear to function since common path names are "safe." However as soon as unexpected characters come in (like ampersands), all bets are off. To summarize: If we are linking something that is represented by a file (images, color profiles, etc.) can't be processed with a URI class or URI functions. It will work for simple cases, but not all.
