Fixed point arithmetic in libnr causes pixel offset at large zoom
by Diederik van Lierop 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

Hi all, As reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168384, bitmap pixels appear slightly offset when nearing the maximum zoom. I found out that this is caused by the fixed point calculations in libnr, for example in nr_R8G8B8A8_P_R8G8B8A8_P_R8G8B8A8_N_TRANSFORM_0(). This is easily fixed by increasing the fixed point precision from 12 to 18 bits on line 42 in libr/nr-compose-transform.cpp, but if we do that then our headroom will become quite small. Can we switch to long long instead of just long? Or should we go to floating point math, and accept the speed penalty (if any)? Or should we leave things as they are? Someone must have though about this before ;-) Diederik

Forgot to reply to all again... anyway, new news is http://inkscape.chrismorgan.info/win32-builds/Inkscape-0.47pre2-2.exe with the updated devlibs. I'd especially like this tested with graphics tablets to see if the updated GTK version (not the newest, but newer) fixes that problem with them not working as extended input devices.

Little bug in i18n
by Lucas Vieites 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hi, I'm testing and debugging my translation on the inkscape-0.47pre2 version and I found the following: When I apply a filter to an object, say "Wrinkled varnish", the menu option appears correctly translated as "Barniz arrugado", but when I select the object, on the status bar I see the description of the object, for example:* "Elipse; **filtrado (Wrinkled varnish)* en capa* Capa 1*. Pulse......". As you see, the name of the filter does not appear translated here. I think it's this segment in the po file: the second "%s" is not getting the correct string. ============================ #: ../src/sp-item.cpp:1065 #, c-format msgid "%s; <i>filtered (%s)</i>" msgstr "%s; <i>filtrado (%s)</i>" ============================ Should I open a bug report? Thanks, -- Lucas Vieites

Windows installer change request
by Jon 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Just downloaded Inkscape-0.47pre2-1.exe and am trying it out. Please consider modifying the installer to provide an option to allow one to install in an existing directory that has files and subdirs. The use case for this request is that I customize the Inkscape theme on my systems and therefore have content in etc, lib, and share subdirs. I think a "safe" solution is to provide an "Overwrite!" button in the dialog that pops up when you try to install to a non-empty dir. Keep the "Retry" and "Cancel" buttons and default to not allowing one to install to a non-empty dir, just provide us of those who have existing customizations the option of continuing the installation without having to waste time copying the customizations to a temp directory and then copying them back. Thanks, and THANKS for all the coolness that is Inkscape! Jon

[Fwd: Inkscape manual page translations]
by Joshua A. Andler 03 Sep '09

Hey all! helix84 came to me with a question that I do not have an answer to and have been unable to get one so far (6 weeks later now). With that, I will get this question out to our translators and developers in general to see if anyone in our community knows or can find out. Please read below. Cheers, Josh -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: helix84 <helix84@...2235...> Reply-to: helix84@...2235... To: Josh Andler <scislac@...400...> Subject: Inkscape manual page translations Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:47:33 +0200 Hello, I believe you're the release warden for 0.47. Can you help me with the following issue? I translated the inkscape.pod file to Slovak and I'd like to see it included in 0.47. 1) I'm not sure where to add it so it will build (because I don't understand autotools very well) 2) I can't get it to build correctly and I have this problem with the existing French manpage, too I tried it on Ubuntu 9.04: pod2man -u --center=Inkscape inkscape.sk.pod > inkscape.sk.1 man -l inkscape.sk.1 With the -u option it munges the non-ASCII characters, without it it adds A~X sequences. When I did a normal make, inkscape.fr.1 was created but this has the same problem - note the A~X sequences. I noticed the utf8-to-roff filter in the makefile but I don't know how to use it. Anyway it seems it's used for the French file in the makefile so it probably doesn't work. Regards ~~helix84
