Re : Filters top-level menu?
by Ivan Louette 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 06 Feb '09

06 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 04 Feb '09

04 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

Snapping toolbar
by Diederik van Lierop 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

New as of revision #20491: the much requested and long overdue toolbar with snapping controls! Please test it and report any bugs. Question to you all: do you think we can remove the "snap" tabs in the document properties dialog, except for the snapping distance sliders? If you don't need it, just turn it off and it won't bother you again. If you don't like it, then please draw me some new icons. Please forgive, these are the first icons I've ever drawn :-). Obviously, there are no Tango icons yet either. On Linux, please don't forget to do a "make install" to install the new icons.svg file. Diederik

Re: [Inkscape-devel] LPE cleanup
by unknown＠example.com 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi all, I just moved almost all 0.47 LPEs to the "experimental" section in the code. This means that they will not show up in the normal 0.47 builds. We need to make sure they work and don't crash, that there is a testfile in the testsuite and that they are useable too. If you want to build Inkscape with experimental LPEs, make sure "LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS" is defined. You can do that by editing config.h (in build.xml for windows, on linux I have no clue), or by editing /src/live_effects/effect.cpp at the start somewhere put: "#define LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS" Cheers, Johan > -----Original Message----- > From: Engelen, J.B.C.
