Please enable "snap to paths" for this to work, but this is just a workaround. The problem is that when you snap along a constrained line, that line isn't very likely to run exactly through the corner of the rectangle you want to snap to (or to any other specific point for that matter, due to rounding errors). I'm not sure, but I think that I have implemented constrained snapping to nodes at all, only to paths. Maybe I should and allow for really small tolerances in such a case. Diederik

Hi, How soon are we doing pre2? Users keep telling me testing the pre1 would be so much better with a win32 build :) Alexandre

Use inkscape + dbus + pidgin to implement an whiteboard application.
by Mat 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hi, Inspired by jabber_whiteboard's idea and work, I woundered that whether there is a way to integrated inkscape with pidgin, so that we can share the common part of IM, like: http://inkboardng.googlecode.com/svn/images/intro01.png Then I setup a program to try it, here: http://code.google.com/p/inkboardng/ The program structure idea is illustrated as: http://inkboardng.googlecode.com/svn/images/intro02.png After months of works, now, it has working demos: http://people.debian.org.tw/~mat/inkboard/r100.htm The program is under developing, also encounter some problems that not easy to solve myself. ( I would like to describe in another letter, include the progress I made and the problem it has ) However, I would like to share the program here first, to see whether there is someone also like it, and to see whether it's possible to contribute this work to inkscape project in the future? If you are interested in the program, and willing to build it by yourself, I suggest to start from DeveloperManual here: http://code.google.com/p/inkboardng/wiki/DeveloperManual Any question or suggestion? I'm looking forward... :-) sincerely, Mat.

Colliding DBusses
by Aaron Spike 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Mat, I saw your post about a DBus based Inkboard. I was wondering if you were aware of the work Soren has been doing with DBus in Inkscape for Google's Summer of Code. Without knowing a whole lot about how Inkscape can be made to communicate over DBus, I can only assume that there might be some overlap in your DBus integration work. I would like to see both of these projects succeed. Please take a look at how your projects can fit together. Aaron Spike

Switch language via menu
by Khoem Sokhem 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hello list members, I just want to ask one question on how to switch langugage in Inkscape via menu, It will be good if Inkscape can switch language via menu like VLC, Pidgin. Any one know, will Inkscape have this feature in the future? Thank in advance for your respone. Sokhem- From Cambodia

This again points to a font issue - did you have a look at your installed fonts? (font management with/in 'Font Book' has no influence on which fonts inkscape / X11 sees -> Contents/Resources/etc/fonts/font.conf defines the included font directories for inkscape) But JiHO or Michael would know better how to read the crash report. ~suv

Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape - regular win builds
by Bob Jamison 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Hi again, all. I don't know if anyone noticed, but Mingw.org recently released the gcc 4.4.0 suite as a single bundle (you still need mingw-runtime and win32api). There were a couple of issues with how they package the stdc++ libs, but once that is fixed, it will be a great improvement to our builds. The big thing is that mingw will start using Dwarf2 exception handling by default (we jumped the gun a bit in switching to dw2). So we will be able to share our c++ libs with other projects now, such as Fedora-mingw. Also, Mingw has a new project, mingw-get, which is their version of a package and dependency manager. How cool is that? Something we have wanted for a long time. Wish them luck on that project. bob (ishmal) On 7/2/2009 8:10 AM, Donna Benjamin wrote: > Hey guys! > > James Turnbull can help out with regular windows builds of inkscape. > > Bob says he needs an account on Modevia so he can post 'em somewhere > useful... > > Hoping that by emailing all of you, you might be able to get the right > people in touch with each other to help get this sorted! > > :) > > cheers > Donna
