NEW: single-object and drawing PDF export
by bulia byak 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

With PDF export, it is now possible to make the PDF page the size of the entire drawing, instead of the same as SVG page as before by the "Export drawing, not page" checkbox in PDF export options. Also, you can export a single object from a complex document to PDF if you specify the ID of that object in the "Limit export to the object with ID" field; the page of such PDF will be the same size as the bounding box of that object and will show only that object (all others will be hidden). The same capabilities are available from the command line by using --export-area-drawing and --export-id=ID parameters with --export-pdf (previously, they only worked for PNG export). -- bulia byak Inkscape.

GOption migration patch
by Krzysztof Kosiński 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hello Can anyone review the patch provided here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/195220 It moves the commandline option parsing from popt to GOption and shortens main.cpp a fair bit, but I'm not sure how does Inkscape open files - does it (1) use UTF-8 filenames or (2) filenames in the system encoding? This patch will be ok if 2 is the case, and I believe 2 is the standard practice with Glib.

I've put in the application for Inkscape to participate in GSoC 2008. Thank you everyone who submitted blueprints for feature idea suggestions (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/). As promised, I've mined that to put together our ideas list, which you can see here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Googles_Summer_Of_Code_2008 Bryce

difficulties to check in
by Aubanel MONNIER 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hello list, I was going to fix the fact that I did not commit anything to inkscape since several years (implemented solution to bug 171255), but I can't get the damn thing to identify me to commit my code. Do I still have a svn account ? Or should I send a patch ? Regards, Aubanel.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Temporarily disabled snapindicator

(there are a lot of snap preferences, a whole bunch of them should be global prefs instead of doc prefs in my opinion.) IMHO most of the snapping preferences should be in the document properties, because different documents can have different snapping strategies. It's not that a user simply has a single preferred way of working (w.r.t. snapping) for all his documents. An overhaul of the snapping preferences tabs is already on my TODO list, but if you really want to start working on this then I have some notes for you on which things to change. Diederik

Temporarily disabled snapindicator
by unknown＠example.com 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi all, I am temporarily disabling all snapindication, because it breaks the pen tool: enable grid, pick pen tool, click start point. then one can either click right away for the second point, the pen tool will then behave as if you dragged clicked it. If you wait for the snap indicator to go away, then click, it behaves as normal. I want to make a preference for it. Shall I make a whole new page for snapping preferences? (there are a lot of snap preferences, a whole bunch of them should be global prefs instead of doc prefs in my opinion.) Sorry, Johan

----- Original message ----- > I've put in the application for Inkscape to participate in GSoC 2008. Great, thanks for doing that! I was thinkimg that we should put two additional comments there, but I wanted to run them by everyone: * Applicants should consider fixing one current Inkscape bug and including it's number in their application. * Applicants are encouraged to post their proposals to the inkscape-devel list for discussion before submitting them to Google. Thoughts? --Ted

cms on windows
by Alexandre Prokoudine 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Hi, Really dunno why it has slipped through recent discussions, but color management isn't working on Windows yet, because Inkscape doesn't see system ICC profiles. We need to either fix it or edit release notes. Alexandre
