The portion of my message you quoted is a little out of context, I was replying to someone who was a Windows user and thought that Tango icons are *linux only*, iirc. I was suggesting an icon theme changer in the UI if a better solution wasn't possible, but your solution is far more elegant and convenient. And honestly, I don't care much about windows :) Regards, Gez.

Whoa! This doesn't seem like a good idea. Why are you removing the version number from the menus file? --Ted On Wed, 2009-01-14 at 15:28 +0000, tweenk@...58... wrote: > Revision: 20521 > http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/inkscape/?rev=20521&view=rev > Author: tweenk > Date: 2009-01-14 15:28:20 +0000 (Wed, 14 Jan 2009) > > Log Message: > ----------- > Remove INKSCAPE_VERSION from menus-skeleton.h > > Modified Paths: > -------------- > inkscape/trunk/src/menus-skeleton.h > > Removed Paths: > ------------- > inkscape/trunk/src/inkscape_version.h.mingw > > > This was sent by the SourceForge.net collaborative development platform, the world's largest Open Source development site. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.net email is sponsored by: > SourcForge Community > SourceForge wants to tell your story. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword > _______________________________________________ > Inkscape-cvs mailing list > Inkscape-cvs(a)lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-cvs

Disconnected Arabic letters
by Boutros Saba 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Hello there, I installed the last 0.46 version my Tiger (10.4.11) Mac OS X. When I write Arabic I get disconnected letters - not as Arabic should be. I had an earlier version (I don't remember which one) that worked perfectly on the same OS version. I tried to install all prior version down until 0.43 - and the problem wasn't fixed. Any ideas? Thanks, ssb2o

eraser tool opinions?
by bulia byak 08 Feb '09

08 Feb '09

Now that the Eraser tool is in SVN for quite some time, what do people think of it? Is it useful? In what mode do you use it, if at all? Disclaimer: as you may remember I was against this tool from the beginning, considering it redundant. Its Delete mode is equivalent to Alt+drag followed by Del in Selector, and its Cut mode is now equivalent to Alt+drag in Calligraphic pen which I just added: * When drawing with Alt, Inkscape subtracts the path you have created from the selected path (with Shift, it adds to the selected path). This allows you to quickly patch or fix problems in a stroke you have drawn without leaving the tool. So, do we really have to spend the prime toolbar space on a tool which does what other tools already do? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Re : Filters top-level menu?
by Ivan Louette 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

Why not "Filter Manager" ? It doesn't only edit or create filters. It adds and removes them too. ivan ________________________________ De : bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...> À : Inkscape Devel List <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Envoyé le : Jeudi, 5 Février 2009, 0h23mn 37s Objet : [Inkscape-devel] Filters top-level menu? I think filters are sufficiently complex, different from everything else, and have enough support in Inkscape now, so they deserve to be treated more like a top-level entity. In particular, I propose to add a new menu, Filters, before Effects. It would contain: - All the submenus with preset filter that are now in Effects > Filters. Ivan Louette is working on a huge and exciting expansion of that hierarchy, adding lots of powerful new filters. It's obviously too deeply hidden now, it deserves more visibility as one of the most important 0.47 additions. - The "Filter Effects..." dialog command which I propose to rename to "Build Filters" or "Filter Builder" or something like that. The current name is not very descriptive and even a bit misleading due to the word "effects" which refers to too many too different things in Inkscape (once again, let me reiterate my old wish: rename "Effects" menu to "Extensions", that is what they are!). The typical workflow would be to first choose one of the presets, then if needed, go to the Filter Builder to adjust the preset or start a new filter from scratch. - The Remove Filter command.

SVGFonts not working
by Felipe Sanches 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

hello guys, does anybody has a clue on why SVGFonts code stopped working? JucaBlues ------------- (09:01:51) Juca: SVG Fonts code is broken currently (09:01:58) Juca: and I have no idea why (09:02:18) Juca: at least for me it stopped working sometime ago (1 or 2 weeks maybe) (09:02:26) Juca: does it work for you? (09:02:39) Juca: maybe it is an issue with my cairo version (09:03:16) Alexandre Prokoudine: honestly, I find it difficult to use the current implementation (09:03:30) Alexandre Prokoudine: starting with having no idea in what form to input unicode value (09:03:48) Juca: yeah, I agree (09:03:58) Alexandre Prokoudine: and finishing with no numeric input for kerning value (09:03:59) Juca: currently we input the char itsef (09:04:16) Juca: not the codepoint value (09:05:03) Juca: but does it render anything (even the default missing glyph) in the text preview area? (09:05:10) Alexandre Prokoudine: nope (09:05:15) Juca: it is not rendering in my builb (09:05:16) Alexandre Prokoudine: and it never did for me (09:05:20) Juca: hmmm (09:05:42) Juca: it worked for me during some time and then misteriously stopped working (09:05:57) Juca: it worked while I was activelly developing it (09:06:11) Juca: since SoC until 2 weeks ago at least I think (09:06:36) Alexandre Prokoudine: maybe your cairo has a secret switch that worked only for you :) (09:06:43) Juca: :-P

SVGFonts oncanvas without pango userfont support?
by Felipe Sanches 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

this thread is meant to brainstorm the possibility of implementing SVGFonts rendering on canvas without use of libpango. Since libpango development of the userfonts feature is very slow (currently at 0% done), I would like to ask you to keep in mind the possibility of adding special cases for SVG Fonts in the font family selector and in the text rendering on canvas. I am not asking you (Milosz) to implement it. I just would like to be sure that you are aware of this need and, if possible, I would like to brainstorm a bit about what should we do to better integrate SVGFonts rendering on canvas even without pango support.

New OS X Package
by Milosz Derezynski 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Dear Inkscape team - it's a package. The package was built on 10.5 and is Intel only. The package was built from SVN rev. 20630 and it uses Gtk+/Quartz instead of X11 windowing. There are a few bugs when running Inkscape on Gtk+/Quartz which I'm attempting to fix at the moment, once I have them fixed I will upload an updated package accordingly. I hope that despite the limited usability of the package (Intel-only) it can find some use. The package can be downloaded at: http://futurepast.free.fr/inkscape/ M. -- Please note that according to the German law on data retention, information on every electronic information exchange with me is retained for a period of six months. [Bitte beachten Sie, dass dem Gesetz zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung zufolge jeder elektronische Kontakt mit mir sechs Monate lang gespeichert wird.]

GSoC 2009
by Josh Andler 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hey all, Given that there will be a smaller number of students available via GSoC this year, do we have any volunteers to take care of coordinating our overall participation to ensure we can get the most possible? Primarily we just need someone who would be willing to stay on top of what is going on with GSoC, and to relay information and respond in a timely manner. Aaron, you had handled it last year, is it something you're interested in doing again? Cheers, Josh
