by Piotr Kopczyński 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hello everybody, I have just subscribed because I'm interested in undertaking the SVG-KML conversion/translation task within GSoC contest. I am just writing the details of the proposal (I guess I have some hour and a bit left till deadline), then I'll post it here. I'm looking for directions, what to do and how to behave :) Best regards, Piotrekk

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Icons for "align nodes horizontally" and "align nodes vertically" are swapped
by worms invasion 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hello, No, I believe the actions are correct and the icons are swapped. The actions should remain in the same order as in 0.46, and as they are in r21009, that is: - align horizontally on the left - align vertically in second position. It would be ***very odd*** to change this order in 0.47. Please, can you check that?

Failed to execute helper program in Windows Builds
by Render 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Currently in the development builds editing an bitmap externally by right-clicking the image causes inkscape to return the following message: Failed to execute helper program: (Invalid Argument) Would it be possible to select gimp.exe itself rather than just gimp? Just calling gimp seems to be something associated with Linux. Scribus exhibits this same behavior, but you can navigate to the helper program itself and then everything works fine.

Disconnected Arabic letters on Mac OS X - Arabic support on Mac OS X is not working properly
by Boutros Saba 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi there, I tried to post on the same subject in the past, but it I didn't get any working suggestion/consideration back. I'm running version 0.46 on Mac OS X 10.4.11. When I write Arabic into the text tool I get a disconnected Arabic letters. It happens also if I copy a connected Arabic letters from outside Inkscape: when I copy the connected text it gets disconnected. I had a version that worked perfectly. I don't remember which one was it. But when I try to examine the past versions one by one, no one seems to work. It seems that there is something in the system that changed that is affecting the Arabic in Inkscape. I tried rolling back to a previous version of X Server and didn't work too. Any clues??? I rely on Inkscape very much. Thanks in advance guys! Best, Boutros

Re: [Inkscape-devel] GSoC Idea: Inkscape API Improvement
by Josh Andler 03 Apr '09

Krzysztof, Please know that anything Jon or Ted discuss is not as short sighted as you seem to think. I won't say that all ideas they have are perfect, but at the very least, they've probably put more thought into it than you're giving them credit for (and no offense, probably more time and thought than you have). I have to put forth that it seems like you are a little too quick with dismissing the input of others. Given that you have applied for SoC, I have to ask... will you be able to really take advice from a mentor as seriously as you should?

We would have to roll back most of the C++ conversion in order to do that, and go back to plain GObject. I don't think that's possible. I think the best solution would be to use SWIG (an automated binding generator). Jon suggested using XForms over DBus, but I think that's just too complicated to be feasible.

Icons for "align nodes horizontally" and "align nodes vertically" are swapped
by worms invasion 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hello, This has been going on for a while I think in current SVN and is still present in r21009 (win32snapshot)... The "align nodes horizontally" function is assigned the "align vertically" icon, and vice-versa for the "align nodes vertically" function.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] State of the Icons

I will make them the default for Linux > once I get them. Thanks for your answer. Let me get this straight. There will be two sets and the tango will be used in linux? The ability of changing the theme using a custom file won't come back? What happens to people who wants default icons in Linux, or people who wants Tango in Windows, for example? Gez.

Wiki main page & delete access
by Krzysztof Kosiński 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I already mentioned this here but I didn't receive an answer. Can I receive the credentials necessary to delete pages and edit the main page on the wiki? For example, the main page has a lot of links in WikiWords, which are pointless in MediaWiki, and it has links to pages that are outdated and no longer useful, even confusing. I'd like to fix that.

gdl summer of code
by Johannes Schmid 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi! Someone on #gnome-hackers pointed me that you will probably have a student working on gdl to split it out again as a library. While I really appreciate that work I would be even more happy if you could contribute this work upstream. Also gdl spent a rather unmaintained time development seems to speed up again now, mostly based on the work of Joel Halsworth from the Lumiera fame (www.lumiera.org). Patches and documentation improvements landed in trunk in the past weeks. I would like to avoid duplicated work here. Of course the ultimate long-time goal remains to push gdl to gtk+ but before it would be great if all project using it would use the version that ships with GNOME and constribute to this. This will save work for all of us and lead to a better result. Thanks a lot, Johannes (the quasi gdl maintainer) P.S: I am not subscribed to that list so please CC me.

Affine Transformations in Python
by G33K 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I' d like to ask if there is perhaps some sort of affine transformation library available to the Inkscape Python scripts? So far, I only found the file simpletransform.py, which is quite useful, but not very comprehensive. The transformation stuff already has excessive support in the Inkscape C++ code. Are there any Python bindings for that? Right now, I am primarily interested in getting pretty constructor functions for defining rotations and scaling, without having all the mathy matrix clutter in my code. If none are available, I could add those to simpletransform.py myself. Cheers, Gerrit -- http://www.fastmail.fm - And now for something completely different
