Re: [Inkscape-devel] Tango icons as default set
by Guillermo Espertino 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Plácido Sousa sent an improved version of the current default icon set to the user list. It's a clear improvement over the current, and in my opinion, it should be made the default set since there is no consensus about the Tangoified theme and the default has some evident problems. The proposed set from Sousa is a polished version of the same icons we have now, so the familiarity won't be a problem and the people -like me- who think the current set needs desperately some love will be more comfortable with the new look. What do you think?

Global 'static' dialogs
by unknown＠example.com 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi all, Please help me test the dialogs import from OCAL and export from OCAL. I just fixed bug 241390 [1]. Some dialogs are defined 'static', so they are not recreated when opening the dialog more than once. The problem is that they have a parent window defined that links the dialog to a specific SPDesktop. So when the dialog is called from another desktop..., crashes might happen. I am fixing this (making the dialogs non-static, recreating them every time they are needed) for the following dialogs: import from OCAL, export from OCAL, and the new export dialog that is not used at this moment. I cannot test whether these dialogs still work with my fix. I'm very sorry if they are broken now, but I feel this is a very important fix for stability. If it's broken now: let me know, or revert rev 20804 fully. cheers, Johan [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/241390

inkboard abandoned files? cleanup needed.
by the Adib 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

I commited small patch in order to be able to compile using the "./configure --enable-inkboard" option: rev 20788 It looks that the files that I commented out have no effect in the code and are not in use. Could one please investigate in this? Using this patch inkscape opens the connect dialog. I can not prove that it works because I do not know how to connect.

Wiki cleanups
by Krzysztof Kosiński 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

I'd like to clean up the main page of the wiki a bit. It contains links to lots of outdated information. Some pages are also not needed anymore and can cause confusion, so I'd like to remove them. Can I have administrator access to the wiki? My login is "Tweenk".

Point 1) is intended to preserve the usual behavior. Point 2) is intended to make it easier to grab the anchor: guides are so "thin" for selecting that having also to get the little circle (not zoomable...) is a pain. And what about if some guides have their anchor all snapped to the same point? How could you select the one you want? Point 3) is for the great feature of rotating guides (with snapping!). Ctrl should be pressed after initiating the rotation, to distinguish from point 5) (deletion): if you start rotating a guide it means you don't want do delete it, don't you? Point 4) is not so essential to me, but could be useful and maybe not so difficoult to implement. Point 5) is the current behavior and should be kept as is. Tanks for all the improvements. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Guide-editing-by-mouse-tp21666562p22180095.html Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Tooltip on snapindicator is now zoom dependent?
by Diederik van Lierop 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

In rev. #20773 the distance of the snap-tooltip to the snap-indicating-cross has been made zoom-dependent by "speleo3". Now when I zoom in, snapping might occur at one end of the screen whereas the tooltip might show up at the other end of the screen. I think it should appear at a fixed distance from the snap-indicator, i.e. measured in hard screen pixels. Could you please explain why you think this is better? PS: Sorry for forgetting your real-name :-(. That's why I'm sending this to the dev-list. Diederik

Absence from Inkscape work
by Maximilian Albert 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Dear fellow Inkscapers, on rather short notice I need to inform you that I won't be able to do any development work during the next 2-3 months. Also, I will have very little internet access (if at all) and therefore won't be receiving emails from the -devel list. I am aware that there are a couple of - in part quite substantial - things which I leave unfinished in the SVN repository and I truly apologize that due to my broken laptop (which left me with no personal computer at all during the last half-year) and both major upcoming changes in my life and a lot of very urgent research work for university, I so far haven't completed the tasks I was working on. I very much hope and am positive that things are going to be better in the second half of 2009 and I promise that I will complete all the unfinished stuff as soon as I can resume coding. Until then, please feel free to remove any code of mine which is not functional or not tidied up. You are also welcome to improve it but I will also do so when I'm back at my regular Inkscape work. For the guides stuff I committed a short while ago, I'm attaching a patch of recent work in progress which (partly) implements selecting and editing of multiple guides. You are welcome to clean it up and commit it - or to ignore it for now. Again, sorry for all the inconvenience. I'm very much looking forward to getting back up to speed with my work. Best regards, Max

svg filters crash
by Alexandre Prokoudine 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi, For last couple of days Inkscape crashes whenever an SVG Filter from Filters menu is chosen. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/334050 BTW, we have 37 more bugs tagged with "crash". If we are planning to do a release this year, maybe we should encourage ourselves to clean up the mess or at least leave several wet floor signs around :) Alexandre

Export, Publish and Save As
by Martin Owens 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi inkscapers, I was looking at a few bugs (#168504 and #168958) and thinking about some of my own personal grievances with the whole business of exporting and saving as. Currently in inkscape 0.46 (Ubuntu 8.10) there are a whole boat full of exporting, saving, loading menus in the File menu. Most of which seem to follow this logic: 1) File New/Load/Save * New > * Open ... * Open Recent > * Revert * Save * Save As ... * Save a copy ... 2) Import/Export * Import ... * Export Bitmap ... * Import from Open Clipart ... 3) Print ... 4) Vacuum Defs 5) Preferences * Document Properties ... * Document Meta Data ... * Inkscape Preferences ... * Input Devices ... 6) Application * Close * Quit This seems a bit of a mess, although I don't know if you've changed much for 0.47 so apologies if this has already been put through for refinement. My suggestions would be as follows: * Move Revert to Edit and have it as a function of the undo system. And/Or rename it to 'Reload from File' * Remove Save a Copy and replace with 'Publish ...' which would have a dialog specifically designed to export to pdf, plain svg or png and with options that make sense such as v1.1 svg, clean defs and no personal data (such as paths). * The document properties and meta data seem out of place, since they're more to do with the document object than the file object. Maybe a top level document menu? One that includes some of the edit menu items specific for the document? * Vacuum Defs seems like a plugin or something that could be a part of publish, or the doc menu. * Import and Export make sense, but perhaps having plugins that allow imports and exports to various places and removing the specific link for open clipart. Thoughts? Flames? Regards, Martin Owens
