It's true that the machines I am using are not very fast (for portability and environmental reasons :) ). The machine I used while this issue hit me last was an Intel Pentium M processor, 1.70GHz with 1 GB of ram (so, only one core). I also noticed Inkscape becomes slow when using some type 1 fonts, but that's another issue for which I'll prepare a testcase, too. Best Gero

Fwd: [CREATE] LGM 2009 — Budget and Accommodation — URGENT REQUEST
by Jon Phillips 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Sorry for forward. I need updated numbers from all three projects, namely: 1.) NAME OF PERSON ATTENDING 2.) ESTIMATED COST FOR TRAVEL Then, at the event we will sort out more details about reimbursement. If you want reimbursement, please get me this in the next 24 hours. Inkscapers, is there someone handling this? Dave/OFLB, you put this together before right? Jon ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Louis Desjardins <louis.desjardins@...400...> Date: Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 8:25 PM Subject: [CREATE] LGM 2009 — Budget and Accommodation — URGENT REQUEST To: Create ML <create@...626...> To all LGM teams, including LGM people who maybe not member of a team "officially" but who do contribute to LGM's projects, putting oil in the bearings and who qualify for a reimbursement of their travel expanses by the LGM org. Action 1) Please forward asap (now) the estimated cost for travelling to Montreal for each member of your team who is going to attend. This can be done through a google.doc one contact person from each team can then share with me. Hurry up, please. :-) Action 2) Please try to evaluate with a reasonable degree of accuracy how many rooms you're going to need at the student residence. This is also urgent. Reasons for asking: 1) We need to establish the budget with more accuracy than a wild guess. The efforts of quite a few people will then be needed to pump the money in... So we better know the real needs quick. 2) This year, the authorities at the uni residence are ready to give us the same price as 2 years ago, for the same services, which is great, I think. But they ask for a security deposit based on the number of rooms we're going to actually take. I can cope with the deposit but I cannot cope with a loss. So, the closer we are to the reality, the better. For the record, in 2007 I reserved 50 rooms and we ended up renting 47, which was great. If we can be as close to the estimates this year as we were in 2007, we won't lose the deposit. But if we reserve 50 and we rent 30 rooms in the end, we're in for a few hundred bucks of loss which I don't want to spend so stupidly. They are not asking for the moon but their rules have been tightened and it's a reality we have to accept. So please, act now! Cheers!

Blur and opacity slow
by Gero Mudersbach 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Dear Inkscape developers, first of all I wish to thank you for your great work, Inkscape is extremely useful! One thing I noticed is that using blur and sometimes opacity makes Inkscape behave slow. It's not only when moving / scaling objects that have blur or opacity values applied but also the whole document editing seems to be slower then. It would be great if these features could be optimized in one of the next versions. Please let me know if I should file a bug report on this request. Best Gero Mudersbach

Tango Icons Ready
by jf barraud 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi, I only know the "wrong" way to enable experimental lpes: uncomment the line #define LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS in src/live_effects/effect.cpp. The right way is via some switch in some config file but I'm not sure. Under windows, I think it's a matter of changing one line in build.xml... *BUT* These effects are in fact experiemental: only use them for testing/debugging/commenting. An experimental lpe will almost surely undergo deep modifications before it becomes non experimental. Either the very definition of its parameters or the way it is rendered might be affected, and in both cases all art work based on it will be lost! So use carfully. (and of course, if you enabled experimental lpes in the "wrong" way, don't forget not to commit this change to svn!) Some lpes are in good shape however. What is needed to enable them is a good collection of tests cases... So if your favorite lpe is still hidden, consider supplying a test file for it. jfb.

0.47 splash contest?
by Alexandre Prokoudine 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi, It seems that there is a general agreement that we are moving to .47 release phase. Should we start thinking about a splash contest then? With winning image going to 0.47 and 2nd place -- to .48/SVN like the last time? Alexandre

Problem noticed with preferences
by Jon A. Cruz 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

In working on some code debugging, I noticed that the preferences were not loaded as the program was first using them. Among other immediate issues this had blocked some debug toggle code from ever being invoked. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/367752 As the program starts, preferences are just set to the defaults but not loaded. Then part-way through startup they *do* get loaded. So among other things bits of code might be initialized one way and used another. It would be very helpful if anyone who is looking into a bug might check to see if this is complicating the issue they are working on. If so, then there might be a few cascaded bugs we can reproduce now and then close as soon as the prefs initialization is fixed.

Change in marker rendering
by Jasper van de Gronde 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

For some reason the marker test in SVN is now rendered differently. It seems to be neither a regression nor an improvement (where it is different from the previous rendering both renderings are in error), but given that we're working towards a release I thought I'd mention it in case it was changed accidentally. Both the test file and the references are in SVN (specifically, it's the basic/markers.svg test): https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/gsoc-testsuite The current rendering test results: http://home.hccnet.nl/th.v.d.gronde/inkscape/ResultViewer.html (The result is still listed as new. I've updated the references, but not rerun the tests.)
