can inkscape have multiple pages, and export them to a PDF?
by Albert Cardona 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hi all, The ability to export multiple pages to a PDF would enable: - creating slide presentations - creating books Because at the moment there is no nice way to make neither slide presentations nor books in linux or bsd. Both ooimpress and scribus have very, very bad user interfaces compared to inkscape. Are there any plans on this direction? Thanks for any info.

Code cleanups
by unknown＠example.com 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hello all, I have some discussion points on code cleanup topics: 1. isnormal.h is not used anywhere in the code, can we remove it? 2. isinf.h defines a lower-case macro. Can I add to the coding standard that all #defines should be capitalized? 3. sigil spacing. Apparently most of Inkscape's code puts no space between sigil (*/&) and the following variable name. The coding style document doesn't explicitly mention this, shall I add it? So: "int const * get_int(double &johan);" Cheers, Johan

2geom gsl dependency issue
by Jon A. Cruz 14 Jul '08

Hi, With the latest 2geom update I'm unable to build on Xandros. I'm seeing ./2geom/numeric/vector.h:76: error: -1'gsl_vector_ispos' was not declared in this scope The version of libgsl0 I have there is 1.8 On Ubuntu 8.04 I have version 1.9 I think it would be good if we could keep compatibility with 1.8 at least for a while still.

[Fwd: [Tango-artists] one-canvas workflow]
by Jon A. Cruz 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Here's a recent email on the Tango list discussing icon workflow. There are some interesting aspects to it, and Jakub explains the rationale for various aspects fairly well. Those include metadata "abuse", layers, gradients, shared styles, export, etc. Thought this might spur a little discussion and/or tweaking of some Inkscape aspects.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] NEW: sliders in tool controls
by Valerie 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

By the way, with the new sliders, you can no longer use directional keys to modify size in the Calligraphy tool. It's a pity, because they could be used for more precise value adjustments (it's hard to get a change of exactly 1 with the sliders). Also, I was hoping for keyboard shortcuts to be available to the pencil tool as well, so... Refer to my proposal for the pencil interface: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Vector-brushes I don't have problems with the integer being replaced by a slider, but I'd still like to be able to control it somewhat with keyboard shortcuts. Though I suppose the issue Could be easily side-stepped by entering a value 5 to 10 times smaller in the second field of my proposal, so that you drag the slider more freely...

Re: [Inkscape-devel] smoothing in Pencil
by Valerie 13 Jul '08

I've tried the new smoothing values! It's much better than before, so thank you very much! But I think the maximum value could be even smoother. In KOffice's Karbon14, if you choose "Curve" and "Exactness 20" for example, you get an absolutely crazing level of smoothing, i.e. you get only 2 nodes: Inkscape with 100 smooth: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4382/inkscapepk6.png Karbon14 with Curve exactness 20: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/355/karbon14hw2.png Is it possible to make the slider logarithmic? This way you get your raw values, but at maximum, most curves produce only 2 nodes. A center-ish value is normal smoothing.

A problem compiling CVS
by Valerie 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

I haven't had problems compiling CVS before. This time though, 3 files seem to be giving me problems: /usr/include/poppler/Object.h extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.cpp extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp Nearly all of it involves the following message: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’ There are too many of them, so I can't copy/paste them all, but when looking at the files they involve lines such as: error(-1, "Weird page contents"); Any idea where the error may come from? The error function perhaps?

Nodepath testing
by unknown＠example.com 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hello all, I just converted a bit of the nodetool to 2geom. Generating the knots and handles of a path is now done using 2geom path data. As it is late now, I am not 100% sure that it works 100%. Please help test to see if I broke anything. (so draw a strange path, enter nodetool and see whether everything was generated as it used to be) Thanks, Johan
