unused perspectives
by bulia byak 17 Feb '08

Hi Max, I noticed that you now add a default inkscape:perspective element to a document even if it does not used any 3D boxes. I'm sure a lot of people will not be happy about it. Can you fix it to only add it when necessary? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

OCAL import tries to compile even without gnome VFS

Hi everyone, This seems recent. In configure I have: . . . checking for PANGOFT2... yes checking for GNOME_VFS... no <-- I don't have gnome-vfs no <-- don't know what this is... checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no . . .

Blank menu items
by John Faith 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hello, With svn 17242, selected menu items are blank for me on OS X (10.3). For example, in the attached image, the "Help" and "Tutorials" menu text is invisible. The application is still usable, but it's an annoying bug. I looked in launchpad and found old similar bugs like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168694 , which is marked as fixed. Does this sound familiar to anyone or does anyone know the root cause? Is this a gtk issue? Thanks! , John

Translating names of gimp color palettes
by Marcin Floryan 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi! I was looking at UI after some Polish translations were updated and started wondering if it was at all possible to translate names of the colour pallets available. It seems the following tweak could do the trick: Index: swatches.cpp =================================================================== --- swatches.cpp (revision 17341) +++ swatches.cpp (working copy) @@ -889,7 +891,7 @@ @@ -889,7 +891,7 @@ if ( *name ) { if ( strcmp( "Name", name ) == 0 ) { - onceMore->_name = val; + onceMore->_name = _(val); } else if ( strcmp( "Columns", name ) == 0 ) { But I am not sure how relevant ids could be fed into the template file (pot).

raster effects
by Alexandre Prokoudine 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi, Here are several more notes on current implementation of raster effects. 1. Terminology and hints. In some cases terminology used in effects coming from ImageMagick is not quite obvious. For instance, you might want to reread a course on math to understand what "Sigma" stands for in "Sharpen"/"Unsharp Mask" effects ;-) We might either rename some of the labels (not good for experienced ImageMagick users) or provide hints to explain the meaning of each option. 2. Raster effects are not the only ones to suffer from it, but here goes: effect dialogs inherit caption from menu item name. In several cases the caption is too long and is shrinked. This is not quite visually appealing. Two solutions comes to mind: 1) automatically resize dialog to match caption's length and 2) provide a separate string to dialog's caption which translators could try to make smaller. 3. Cancelling isn't working reliably. I run "Reduce noise" on a 2200x1500 picture and when I click "Cancel" nothing really happens. 4.Should we probbaly implement a "Resize" effect too? Alexandre

Release Wardens for 0.46
by Bryce Harrington 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hi all, Josh Andler (aka ScislaC) has agreed to take on the role of Release Warden with me for 0.46. For those who for whom this is their first release: When we're not in release mode, Inkscape development is left fairly free-form. In the run-up to a release, though, we gradually formalize and restrict work that goes on in the tree. When we hit Hard Freeze, things get quite restrictive, and in fact we switch to a model similar to the Linux kernel development process, with commits to the tree required to be authorized by two people(*) - who we call the Release Wardens. Each Release Warden serves for two consecutive releases. I worked on 0.45 and will do so again on 0.46; Josh will have this role for 0.46 and 0.47. [* - Since often a large chunk of the work late in the release is application of translation patches, we also typically delegate authority to one or two Translation Integrators to be able to commit submitted translation work freely in the po/ directory. I expect we'll do the same this release.] The primary job of the Release Wardens is to ensure that the releases' stability is high enough. They review bugs and decide which need to be fixed for the release, and follow up with bug assignees to ensure they get addressed quickly, or that they can be left as "Known Issues" in the release notes. When the Wardens reach concensus that Inkscape is "stable enough" in their judgement, the tree is tagged and their job is done. Josh and I will probably be splitting up the work such that he focuses a bit more on bugs/stability-testing, and I'll focus more on patch review/integration, but I'm sure there'll be some overlapping. Please join me in thanking Josh for volunteering for this role! Bryce

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Icons Q

Yes on that, but also: I'd like everyone who commits icons.svg to also make sure they have the following in ~/.inkscape/preferences.xml, before they save the file: <group id="svgoutput" usenamedcolors="0" numericprecision="7" minimumexponent="-8" inlineattrs="1" indent="0" /> This makes quite a difference in file size, and for such time-critical file as this, every millisecond counts.

composition guides
by Alexandre Prokoudine 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hi, While approaching 0.46 release, here is an idea. With this new version we seem to have a flexible architecture for creating new grid types. But how exactly flexible is it? Could we probably use it to display composition guides like golden spiral? ;-) A blueprint is started: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/composition-guides Diederik, what do you think?

Small translation patch to commit.
by Marcin Floryan 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Following arrangements on inkscape-translate I've prepared a small patch to improve some translations and add context in a few cases. Could someone please commit the patch available here: http://www.mm.waw.pl/~mfloryan/various_strings.diff.gz My SVN source still build with this patch so hopefuly it should be OK.

bitmap effects submenu
by Alexandre Prokoudine 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi, Just curious: are we sure we don't want categorizing bitmap effects and distributing them across submenus? Right now on some low resolution displays (like 1024x768, 1200x800) this menu overlays status bar with help messages. Alexandre
