help setting up gl notifications
by brynn 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Hi Friends, I'm having trouble setting up notifications for GitLab properly. I want to be notified whenever a bug I've reported has been changed. And otherwise, whenever someone tags my name with @. So far, I get notified about Vectors team stuff whenever someone uses @all or @brynn. But I haven't gotten a single notification about a bug report. Not even when I post a new bug report. I would have thought Global Notification would trump all else. But there are other options below that (for Groups and Projects). So obviously global doesn't trump everything, but in that case, I don't understand how to decide how to set anything. What exactly does global mean for gitlab? Part of the trouble I'm having is that when I look at the main Inkscape page, it has Subgroups and Projects, and lists 13 different items. But up in the dark blue bar at the top, is has dropdown lists for Projects and Groups. None of these 3 areas seem to be consistent. For example, why is the main Inkscape project a Group rather than a Project? And if groups are the highest level, why don't they have Groups first in the bar, rather than 2nd? And if Group is the highest level, why is the Vectors team a Group too? And then when I look at the Notifications page for settings, it has Groups and Projects separate, but it does not identify all the groups or projects in which I've participated, and there isn't any way to add more on my own. So all that makes it very hard to sort things out intuitively. Could someone just tell what to mark, to make sure I get notified about - any change to to a bug report of mine (or reports I subscribe to, if that's possible (so far, I don't see how to subscribe)) - @brynn Related - When someone migrates one of my bug reports, it's listed under their name. How can I still get notified about changes to those? Do I have to make a reply or mark something? Thank you very much, brynn

Environment variables used by Inkscape
by Patrick Storz 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Hi all, as I believe there's no real list of important environment variables used by Inkscape and it's dependencies I just put together http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Environment_variables I hope this will be of help to everybody running Inkscape (users and developers alike) and prove as a useful reference. Feel free to add and improve as desired! Cheers, Patrick

Information Request
by stephen.lohning＠oxnee.com 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

I would like to develop an extension to start with in python 3+ on windows, and I am not very sure of where to start. I just read the extension requirements which said the extensions need python 2. It also said that it was a little out of date. If need be I would be willing to modify it for python 3. I have programmed C/ C++ and half a dozen other languages over the years, my main problem is that I don't have a compiler for Window. I do have a Centos 7 machine which I could set up a dev environment, but my use is on a windows system. My aim is to do away with my need for MS Visio which I don't like very much and do my drawing parametrically. Regards Stephen

Mailing list neither enabled or disabled
by Terry Brown 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Perhaps this happened to a lot of people and maybe it's been discussed, but I dropped off inkscape-devel and inkscape-users. I think I signed up for the new lists as soon as I saw the announcement, but checking my settings just now the radio buttons Delivery status: Enabled [ ] Disabled [ ] were both off, the mailing list was neither enabled or disabled. Wonder if it happened to others. Fixed from my point of view now. Cheers -Terry

development
by Andrew Kurn 19 Jun '19

I'd like to ask your advice on how to set up a development environment for Inks. Can I do it on an old 32-bit machine? Can I do it on a Raspberry Pi? Can I do it with just gcc and make? If there is someone who is willing to answer questions of this type, perhaps you would like to mentor me. Andrew

TV coverage on LGM
by Maren Hachmann 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Hi everyone, I just got a reply from Agnès from K8, about the press coverage. Starting at ~ 24:00 of https://www.sr-mediathek.de/index.php?seite=7&id=74463 , there's a TV report about the mapathon before LGM, which ends with pictures of some charitable open source graphics software developers (aka Mc, @jnweiger and @mgmax ) around minute 27. She wrote that a team from the French TV was there, too, but that their report isn't available yet. When it will be released, that will be at https://www.tv8.fr/VOD/Grenzenlos/09-05-2019-grenzenlos-TME4BFMq1i.html. Regards Maren ------------ > > Hallo Maren, > > hier den Link zum SR-Bericht: > https://www.sr-mediathek.de/index.php?seite=7&id=74463 > > Aus Frankreich war der lokale Sender TV8 Moselle Est da aber der > Bericht ist noch nicht online.

upcoming opening of new Inkscape forum
by brynn 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

Hi Friends, The Inkscape website will be opening a new forum in August 2019. The primary purpose of the forum will be providing support for Inkscape, but it will serve the whole project and community, in whatever way it can. It will function in much the same way that InkscapeForum.com (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/index.php) and Inkscape Community's forum (https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?action=forum) currently do. Concurrently to opening the new forum, Inkscape Community's forum will essentially close. All of its forum traffic will be diverted to the new forum (although its tutorials and other resources will remain available). Since the Inkscape project has lost contact with the owner of InkscapeForum.com we assume it will remain open. Please make plans to change your forum bookmarks, and to visit the new forum in August. If you're not already registered on the Inkscape website, you will need to register. Once you're logged in to the website, you're also logged in to the forum. We will be thrilled to welcome you, and to provide the same quality of support you're accustomed to! Here is the link to the new forum. Although please note that posting will not be allowed until August. But you can look around and see everything about how it works, except for posting a message. https://inkscape.org/forums/ If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. All best, brynn
