Inkscape booth at Kielux - help present Inkscape in Kiel!
by Maren Hachmann 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hi, I'm looking for a second person to staff the Inkscape booth in Kiel at Kieler Open Source und Linux Tage on September 20th and 21st this year. As I'm also presenting at and co-organizing the event, it would be really good if there were someone else who can help, even if only for a few hours. You don't need to be an expert in Inkscape, but you should bring some motivation and enthusiasm for the program and its capabilities. More info about the event is available at: https://kielux.de There will also be some very interesting talks and workshops, and you'll have direct access to Inkscape stickers (at least those are planned) and fresh info about the latest developments :) If you'd like to join me, please reply to this email! Hope to hear from you Maren

Ok. I will go ahead and file it either tonight or in the morning. Once I've done that I'll link it here so anyone following can make sure my request looks right and add any notes they deem appropriate.

moderators need ability to curate the description in gallery
by brynn 14 Jul '19

14 Jul '19

Hi Friends, Reference the 3 images uploaded by this member: https://inkscape.org/~yendrifernando/ The images appear to be made with Inkscape, but in my opinion, the links in the description are spam. As a moderator, I would like to be able to edit the description (via Curate) and remove only the "www.". In that way, the description still tributes the inspiration for the images to that website (as the member appears to intend), without having an active link to the website. Breaking the link removes the spam. Martin and I have had an extended private discussion about this. But he disagrees with giving moderators the ability to edit the description. He says that we need to have a community discussion about it. I'll have to be honest and say that I don't understand his position, or even really know exactly what his position is. Even if I did, I wouldn't try to represent it. So he'll have to do that. Our discussion ranged far and wide over moderation subjects, but none of his arguments really hit home to me, as a good reason not to allow moderators to edit (curate) the description. So it seems we've hit a stalemate. I'll be honest again and say that I'm not sure if the purpose of this discussion is to repeat our discussion publicly, or just to get opinions on curating the description. Because a lot of his concerns seemed to be about potentially overly aggressive moderation. Or maybe it's both? But I think I'm a fair moderator and can train fair moderators, so I'm ready either way :-) Martin, I hope this is a fair introduction of the issue? All best, brynn

Specifically, do you say that files with the /svg/ extension were not SVG files? Or that they were SVG, but without vector data, perhaps lists of pixels. If you do not know how to answer, we may need to see an example file. Andrew

I am a senior professional and work as a fine art illustrator, mostly rasters on gimp. I do use Inkscape alongside. since a couple of years i am working on patient education in hindi booklets 7 have more than 50 titles booklets to be published, 10 pages of 3x11" each. Illustrations, diagrams with devnagari text. My laptop lost its display and crashed with Ubuntu 19 and while converting os I found my svg files are mere png's and uneditable. Anyone have experienced similar problem or an explanation/help, please respond. Years of hard work is unreachable. Help recover it. Thanks.

help setting up gl notifications
by brynn 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Hi Friends, I'm having trouble setting up notifications for GitLab properly. I want to be notified whenever a bug I've reported has been changed. And otherwise, whenever someone tags my name with @. So far, I get notified about Vectors team stuff whenever someone uses @all or @brynn. But I haven't gotten a single notification about a bug report. Not even when I post a new bug report. I would have thought Global Notification would trump all else. But there are other options below that (for Groups and Projects). So obviously global doesn't trump everything, but in that case, I don't understand how to decide how to set anything. What exactly does global mean for gitlab? Part of the trouble I'm having is that when I look at the main Inkscape page, it has Subgroups and Projects, and lists 13 different items. But up in the dark blue bar at the top, is has dropdown lists for Projects and Groups. None of these 3 areas seem to be consistent. For example, why is the main Inkscape project a Group rather than a Project? And if groups are the highest level, why don't they have Groups first in the bar, rather than 2nd? And if Group is the highest level, why is the Vectors team a Group too? And then when I look at the Notifications page for settings, it has Groups and Projects separate, but it does not identify all the groups or projects in which I've participated, and there isn't any way to add more on my own. So all that makes it very hard to sort things out intuitively. Could someone just tell what to mark, to make sure I get notified about - any change to to a bug report of mine (or reports I subscribe to, if that's possible (so far, I don't see how to subscribe)) - @brynn Related - When someone migrates one of my bug reports, it's listed under their name. How can I still get notified about changes to those? Do I have to make a reply or mark something? Thank you very much, brynn

Environment variables used by Inkscape
by Patrick Storz 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Hi all, as I believe there's no real list of important environment variables used by Inkscape and it's dependencies I just put together http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Environment_variables I hope this will be of help to everybody running Inkscape (users and developers alike) and prove as a useful reference. Feel free to add and improve as desired! Cheers, Patrick

Information Request
by stephen.lohning＠oxnee.com 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

I would like to develop an extension to start with in python 3+ on windows, and I am not very sure of where to start. I just read the extension requirements which said the extensions need python 2. It also said that it was a little out of date. If need be I would be willing to modify it for python 3. I have programmed C/ C++ and half a dozen other languages over the years, my main problem is that I don't have a compiler for Window. I do have a Centos 7 machine which I could set up a dev environment, but my use is on a windows system. My aim is to do away with my need for MS Visio which I don't like very much and do my drawing parametrically. Regards Stephen
