Hi, all, Yes, that is the idea. One thing I need to learn first is the format of that file. The svn properties are fetched as ${svn.fieldname}, so I need to know which fields are which. bob -----Original Message----- >From: J.B.C.Engelen@...1578... >Sent: Oct 7, 2008 1:18 PM >To: john.cliff@...400..., docsonic@...58..., inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Win32 btool problem > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: john cliff [mailto:john.cliff@...400...] >> Sent: dinsdag 7 oktober 2008 15:03 >> To: Docsonic; inkscape-devel >> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Win32 btool problem >> >> You need to get the command line svn executable. or edit out >> the bit in build tool that calls it. >> I think ishmal was going to make it optional... > >Even beter: ishmal was thinking about not using the svn executable, but >the .svn/entries file.

Cairo PDF, PS, and PNG output.
by Tavmjong Bah 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi, I've just checked in a few more "fixes" to Cairo PDF, PS, and, PNG output. Clipping and masking now work at least at a basic level. Let me know if you find any problems. Note, evince may not display an object using an image as a mask but acroread will. I know of a few more problems with Cairo output: 1. First and last points of closed paths aren't joined properly. At least in the PS output, the last point is doubled and there is no closepath. 2. Clipping path output twice in PS (maybe PDF too). The second time it is unused. 3. Patterns don't always display correctly in PNG output. Any other problems people know about? Tav

I am DAILY cutting vinyl with Inkscape
by bruce westfall 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

I've posted this before, but here goes again - What I am currently doing is organizing a cut page with Inkscape, saving that single color file as /home/bruce/hpgl/newplot.ps I then click a script called 'cut newplot.ps' which changes to the correct directory, generates a view using evince ( just to make sure I'm going to cut the right thing ) and then activates another script based on the one found at: http://pldaniels.com/hpgl-distiller/ ( I changed a few things and am more than happy to share everything with anyone. ) Once I close the preview, the plotter does it's thing. ----------------------------- I would like to create a menu item in Inkscape, but haven't figured that out yet. Any links on how to make a custom menu item?? -- Bruce Westfall 740-767-3636 740-707-7038

Inkscape and GMP.
by Polarina 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Rounding errors bug me a lot with these "0.999995" values in the SVG files, it lead me to the idea of creating a patch that makes Inkscape use GMP instead of floating-point values. Discuss - I do not want to take the effort into creating this patch if it turns out to be inappropriate after all. Thank you, Polarina.

Inkscape component libraries support
by Brian Allen Vanderburg II 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

This may already be possible but I'm not certain. I'm currently using 0.44 Debian until I get all the required dependencies compiled. I would like to be able to create named components in an external file and be able to 'import' these items into my svg files and use them. If modified in the external file, the svgs using them would update. Is there any way to do this or does SVG even support something like this? Brian Vanderburg II

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Fwd: NEW: more modes in Tweak tool
by Inkscaper Inkscaper 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Using these new > modes, it is easy to "sculpt" scatterings of small objects, such as > clone tilings, into complex and naturalistic textures. Those are great new features, but this makes tweak tool even more cluttered, wouldn't clones be better for such funcionality? I would propose to split it into: 1. Clone tool ( or Spray/Aerograph tool) - with buttons for creating new clones and changing properities which are currently hidden under "Create tiled clones" window, like align, distribution, size, rotation, blur, opacity and color. This tool would operate only on clones. 2. Tweak tool, which would make the only thing not possible with clones - change shape of different object(s) (push, shrink, attrack, roughten) , and if eventually used on linked clone - unlink them. Current solution encourages users to create zilions of similar objects first, and then radnomise them using smudge tool, which doesn't seem to be elegant way of doing things and will result in huge ang ugly svg files.

Win32 build broken
by Bob Jamison 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Somewhere in the NR->Geom migration, the win32 build was broken. I could fix it tomorrow, but probably the best person would be the one modified the .h file, and knows what the mapping should be. bob ===================== Make error line 293: problem compiling: src/ui/dialog/filedialogimpl-win32.cpp: In member function 'bool Inkscape::UI::Dialog::FileOpenDialogImplWin32::set_svg_ preview()': src/ui/dialog/filedialogimpl-win32.cpp:872: error: no matching function for call to 'sp_item_invoke_bbox(SPItem*, boost::optional<NR::Rect>&, Geom::Matrix, bool )' src/sp-item.h:216: note: candidates are: void sp_item_invoke_bbox(const SPItem*, boost::optional<Geom::D2<Geom::Interval> >&, const Geom::Matrix&, unsigned int, SPItem::BBoxType) src/sp-item.h:217: note: void sp_item_invoke_bbox(const SPItem*, NRRect*, const Geom::Matrix&, unsigned int, SPItem::BBoxType)

LPE Spiro stress test
by unknown＠example.com 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi all, I think I just fixed the long standing bug where LPE Spiro crashed inkscape with a non-continuity exception. (we caught that exception, but okay...) I need some stress testing now! I already did some tests and am no longer able to crash inkscape. Give it a go and let me know if you can crash inkscape with lpe spiro now. Cheers, Johan
