Buildtool -- new "continueOnError" flag
by Bob Jamison 26 Apr '08

26 Apr '08

Johan asked me to look into a way of having buildtool continue processing files after a compile error happens on a file. Although going to the next task after a failure would be incorrect, there is nothing to stop us from letting the <cc> task continue processing its file list after a compile failure. So now there is a new attribute for <cc>: continueOnError="true" which will allow the <cc> task to proceed with its file list after an error. At the end of processing the list, it will return failure as before. If you want to use this feature, just set the flag to true, and read the "compile.lst" compiler listing file after buildtool is done. By the way, everyone should read compile.lst occasionally, even when builds are successful. Warnings are listed there. bob

Toolbar icon sizes
by Jon A. Cruz 26 Apr '08

26 Apr '08

The preferences for the toolbar icon sizes has been changed from a simple toggle of two sizes, to a combo to allow for three sizes. Also, all three toolbars are now configurable. This fixes a problem many users, especially Ubuntu users, were seeing on monitors that only went to 1024x768 or smaller. Things should not affect anyone's existing preferred setup, and should take manual intervention to see a difference in the UI. Give it a bit of a shake-down and see if there are any problems with settings, etc. Thanks. p.s. yes, I did get the release notes updated also. :-)

converting to C++, helper script
by unknown＠example.com 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Hello all, In my branch (gsoc2008_johan_path2geom), I've been converting SPCurve to a proper C++ class. A lot of the work involves replacing "sp_curve_moveto(c, p);" to "c->moveto(p);" . I've written a script to do this kind of thing. If anyone wants to move more to C++, I think you'll find this automation very handy. Basically, the script searches for a certain regexp, and replaces it with another. There is a confirmation check on every occurance, because the replacement might go wrong (in my script "sp_curve_moveto(human->arm().fingerpath, p);" is incorrectly replaced with invalid code). I have added the file to our wiki. Do we have a page about converting to C++? I'd like to move my SPCurve C++ify to trunk, I have tested and there seem to be no bugs. Can I proceed? Cheers, Johan

"Stack Stroke/Fill" effect for Inkscape
by Ove Kaaven 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Hey, I just subscribed to this list. I've written an effect for Inkscape in Python, and if you like it, it'd be nice to see it included in the official Inkscape. I've explained what it's supposed to do, with screenshots, here: http://www.ping.uio.no/~ovehk/inkscape/stack.html Comments welcome. Perhaps I should call it something else (I just called it "stack" because it kind of stacks the stroke on top and the fill on the bottom), and perhaps there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do. (Also, it'd be nice if there was a better tool for brushing out blobs than that calligraphy+union trick I used there...) <inkscape-extension> <_name>Stack Stroke/Fill</_name> <id>org.ekips.filter.stack</id> <dependency type="executable" location="extensions">stack.py</dependency> <dependency type="executable" location="extensions">inkex.py</dependency> <effect> <object-type>all</object-type> <effects-menu> <submenu _name="Generate from Path"/> </effects-menu> </effect> <script> <command reldir="extensions" interpreter="python">stack.py</command> </script> </inkscape-extension>

Extensions (inx) files
by Marcin Floryan 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Hi! I was playing with some extensions recently and started wondering that it would be nice if the extension files (inx) could be made into properly formatted XML documents with their own namespace and an XSD to come with it. This should make creating new ones easier as well as validating them. I should be able to carry out all necessary work but wanted to know if you guys think it is sensible... Thanks, -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ [GPG Key ID: 0D5581C5]

Re: [Inkscape-devel] NEW: "No Filters" view mode

I agree that cycling between modes in a complex document isn't cool, but then I, for instance, don't use wireframe mode very often, and I'd love to be able to switch between Normal and No FIlters. What do other people think? Alexandre

Re: [Inkscape-devel] FUN: a weird clock in SVG+javascript
by Alvin Penner 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Okay, I have to admit, that was EXTREMELY COOL, I didn't know that SVG could do animation. But now, being a Windows user, I have a question, this animation runs very well using SeaMonkey in Windows XP, but if I use IE7 as I normally would, then I just get a static image, no animation, anybody know why (other than the obvious answer, that it was made by Microsoft) ?

FUN: a weird clock in SVG+javascript
by Felipe Sanches 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

I have just coded this javascript+SVG weird clock. It is composed by several clock pointers that together form words indicating the current time. This animation is obviously running faster than usual clocks, but I guess you get the idea. http://bighead.poli.usp.br/~juca/code/svg/javascript/weirdclock.svg I have drawn it using Inkscape and then coded it using gedit. I had some issues while doing it. One issue is that javascript code is escaped with html escape codes. This messes my code everytime I modify the SVG file using Inkscape. Another issue is the path:d attribute, which seems to use m and M path codes randomly . I hope you like my animation and that it helps improve inkscape in this use case: handling of SVG files containing javascript code. JucaBlues PS: the idea of this weird clock comes from here: http://www.christiaanpostma.nl/clock.htm
