Pasadena Hackfest travel arrangements
by Bryce Harrington 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Hi all, If you're going to be joining us in Pasadena this March, please get your travel arrangements made this weekend, to avoid higher airfare costs. Remember that SFC's travel policy requires doing a flight search with screenshots. If you've not gone through the process, the policy's worth a review before you book flights: https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html After making arrangements, add your details here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_SCALE_Attendees Bryce

Bug reporting tutorial for Inkscape 1.0 Alpha
by C R 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

So, I'm trying to make a video for ongoing bug reporting for Inkscape in GitLab. However, there is no page https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues, which I assume is where we want most of the bugs reported, correct? The best I could do at the moment is do a tutorial for how to report an issue in the extensions sub-section: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/issues And that's because there's a big green button that says "New Issue" in the upper right corner. Is it that we have not added all the sub-sections of the project yet? Can someone add those sections so I can work them into the tutorial? (I'd do it but I'm bound to do it wrong). Let me know. In the meantime, I'm making the animation bits, in hopes of having the video ready by the 16th release of 1.0 Alpha. Thanks for the help! -C

Failed builds on Launchpad - daily emails
by Christoffer Holmstedt 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

Hi I keep getting daily emails about failed builds from "Launchpad Buildd System" [1, 2]. As Inkscape is now built on Gitlab infrastructure afaik is this something to look into or should launchpad builds be disabled somehow?

Inkscape 0.93.3 Bug
by Nico Sauter 31 Dec '18

31 Dec '18

Hello, we encountered a bug in the new Inkscape Verion (0.93.3) on our Fedora28 Workstations. Steps to reproduce: - Start Inkscape - Open a new document (Even if Inkscape opens one on defalut) - Write Text - Mark the text from right to left. -> Crash I can reproduce that every time and even with a new installed machine. flatpak installations works. But dnf package seems to be corrupt somehow. Here a few more debug infos: https://pastebin.com/ujHZVR6e I hope thats right here, i noticed that inkscape-tracker seems to be outdated.

Bitmap scan results in layers instead of objects.
by Aditya Sher 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

The *bitmap scan feature * results in layers instead of objects, which leads to low quality conversion at times, is there any ongoing work or beta that supports that feature, I will be glad to help in any way I can to implement it in case its possible to do so. Best, Aditya Sher

Repeated tasks:
by Aditya Sher 25 Dec '18

25 Dec '18

Is there any plugin which will help me achieve repeated tasks? Like: There are 52 files, with exact same layers and all same objects (except top layer). Is there a way to change color of object in lowest layer (for all 52 files) Or delete all objects of a layer and replace them with objects present in same layer of file 1. In case it doesn't exist, how can one look forward to developing such a plugin? Is it feasible? and most importantly do others feel the need or its just me because I am doing a exception case task which will rarely occur? Also as a question, in case such a feature doesn't exist, has anyone else faced a similar problem and wished to eliminate such repeated tasks? Regards, Aditya Sher
