[patch] Allow inkscape to zoom a wider range
by Arjan van de Ven 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, A program I've written (timechart, see http://blog.fenrus.org/?p=5 ) has SVG as output format. The idea behind timechart is to show what is happening in a system as part of performance tuning, and to do so in a way that is "infinitely zoomable", that is, if you want more information about a portion of the timechart, all you need to do is zoom in and more small details appear. With Inkscape being the primary suggested tool for viewing the output, I currently have a problem in that I can't put the finest details into the SVG, because inkscape just won't allow zooming deep enough to be able to see those details. I made the patch below that bumps the limits on zooming so that users of timechart then can get to the very finest details (if this patch is accepted I'll change timechart to put the details in that I've not been able to put in so far). I hope this (or a change with similar effects) is acceptable for inclusion into Inkscape.

Inkscape 0.47pre2
by Ted Gould 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Hello! After too much delay, some for good and some for stupid reasons I've finally uploaded a pre2 source package for Inkscape. This is VERY close to the final 0.47 release so it's important that people pay attention and we don't let things fall through the cracks. https://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.47pre2 There should be packages available shortly, packagers please reply to this message with information regarding those. Please discuss any release critical bugs or other information regarding the release on the inkscape-devel mailing list. === MD5 Sums === de351d81cca9f99b3a1fb4faa36c723d inkscape-0.47pre2.tar.bz2 77c6ea1245618af69381067c90e57afc inkscape-0.47pre2.tar.bz2.asc ccced173f66611591006d16ea6a200b4 inkscape-0.47pre2.tar.gz 3df60bde0ca2ef28db283c285d5511b1 inkscape-0.47pre2.tar.gz.asc cb94fa821bff40970260f9530cc0bd84 inkscape-0.47pre2.zip 710c523dfdcf10ad39753788baefba90 inkscape-0.47pre2.zip.asc --Ted

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Since release is nearing, let's talk 0.48 and beyond...
by Guillermo Espertino 13 Sep '09

I'd really love to see beter text tools and better image links management in Inkscape for 0.48: - An improved text tool with the ability of setting other units than pixels, better inline style edition, break words with hyphenation for better looking justified text blocks. - Better management of image links (manage absolute and relative links properly) and a simpe UI to fix broken links or relink images. Also a proper interpretation of the resolution of the imported images (i.e.: if the document's default units are cm or inches, read the resolution value of the image and scale it to fit the proper size). Those are in my oppinion some weak points in inkscape that should be revised as soon as possible. I think I can wait for the animation features proposed in the current roadmap.

Hi Bulia, I noticed that the filters.svg in Pre2-1 for Windows isn't the latest one. That should be this one : http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/share/fi… regards, ivan

Win2K SP4 uninstall problems with Inkscape-0.47pre2-1.exe
by Jon 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

I just tried uninstalling to check whether the uninstaller would delete my theme customizations in etc, lib, and share when it uninstalled it's core files, and ran into the following problems. FYI, the original installation was into E:\Inkscape 1) Installer appeared to be deleting files and at the end of the process pop'd a dialog asking if I wanted to delete "E". Obviously as E is one of my partitioned "drives" I said no. Don't really know what the uninstaller would have done, but this appears serious. 2) Likely due to my "no" answer in (1), it doesn't appear any files were deleted by the installer. Note that the original install did not go smoothly as I first tried to have the installer install to a non-empty directory containing my theme customizations. Once the installer squawked that it couldn't install to a non-empty dir, I manually deleted my customizations (while the installer was still running) and then was able to get the installer to continue by clicking the Cancel button (I think) many times until it continued. It may be that the original installation snags are to blame for. However, this is an example of why I initially avoid installers like the plague until they prove that they will not degrade my system. Please, please, please continue to provide the 7z's at the same time as the installers :) I'll check out the next release of the installer when it comes out to see how it handles installing to an existing dir with theme customizations.

Hi, >From what I remember, there were plans to remove latency skew from Preferences. Could we please either get rid of it or have an explanation in a tooltip what this function actually does? Jon? Alexandre

Vista Home Premium SP2 uninstall problems with Inkscape-0.47pre2-1.exe
by Jon 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Similar to the email I sent regarding my Win2K SP4 box, I'm having uninstall issues on my Vista system using an administrator account. The issue on Vista is that after uninstall, it doesn't appear any of the Inkscape core files was deleted. Worse yet, it left the shortcut on my desktop but then Vista refused to delete the shortcut giving an error that said that the shortcut was no longer in "C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop" and refused to delete. As many things appear to fix themselves on Windows by our friend The Reboot, I did, and it solved the unable-to-delete-desktop-shortcut issue. Don't know if the Inkscape core files would have then been deleted (would it have left my theme customizations intact ??). Don't know what the issue is, but maybe the uninstaller needs to trigger a reboot in order to not cause these problems....and please don't kill off the 7z's in favor of installers. Jon
