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

Mailing list neither enabled or disabled
by Terry Brown 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Perhaps this happened to a lot of people and maybe it's been discussed, but I dropped off inkscape-devel and inkscape-users. I think I signed up for the new lists as soon as I saw the announcement, but checking my settings just now the radio buttons Delivery status: Enabled [ ] Disabled [ ] were both off, the mailing list was neither enabled or disabled. Wonder if it happened to others. Fixed from my point of view now. Cheers -Terry

development
by Andrew Kurn 19 Jun '19

I'd like to ask your advice on how to set up a development environment for Inks. Can I do it on an old 32-bit machine? Can I do it on a Raspberry Pi? Can I do it with just gcc and make? If there is someone who is willing to answer questions of this type, perhaps you would like to mentor me. Andrew
