About knots selection
by Antonio Ospite 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hi, I was looking into fixing https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1707919 and, after compiling a recent Inkscape version I noticed that the behavior of knot changed wrt. selection and dragging compared to 0.92.x. After some research on the mailing list I found the change mentioned here: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2017/07/12/what-happened-hackfest-2017/ I can see the benefit of keeping knots selected to be able to move them with the keyboard but I still find the new behavior a little unintuitive, at lest for shape editing: 1. The colors of the mouse-over and selected states are the same, maybe the coloring scheme of node paths can be copied: where mouse-over color is different from the selected and dragging colors which are the same. 2. Previously selected knots look still selected when _another_ knot is dragged without pressing Shift. Steps to replicate: 1. Change size of a rect using one corner. 2. Then change the size using the opposite corner. The firs corner looks still selected. 3. Shift-click does not really select arc knots for ellipses, or rounding knots for rects, because this action is already used for something else, e.g. to close the arc instead. Would it be possible to use Ctrl-Shift-click for the current function and leave Shift-click for the normal select behavior? IMHO this would be more consistent. 4. Dragging with the mouse only affects the last selected knot, even if multiple ones are selected, but this is not a big deal, the behavior is different compared to path nodes, but both make sense IMHO. I'll resume working on https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1707919 after the details from above are sorted out, to avoid overlapping problems. Thanks, Antonio P.S. When verifying 1. I also noticed that path nodes change their size when clicked the _first_time_ but then get smaller again if the object is unselected and re-selected; however this is unrelated to the message above, I'll file a separate bug report for that if it can considered a bug, what do you think? -- Antonio Ospite https://ao2.it https://twitter.com/ao2it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Problems attempting to compile inkscape-0.92.3 for Mac using Mojave (REPOST)
by Bryan Dunphy 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

I received no replies regarding this issue the first time I posted this so I’m trying again. I followed the directions in /inkscape-0.92.3/packaging/macosx/README.txt The last step "LIBPREFIX="$MP_PREFIX" ./osx-build.sh a c b -j 5 i p -s d” returned the following error messages at the end of the output Configure failed Package requirements (cairomm-1.0 >= 1.9.8 glibmm-2.4 >= 2.28 giomm-2.4 sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.12 ) were not met: No package 'cairomm-1.0' found No package 'glibmm-2.4' found No package 'giomm-2.4' found No package 'sigc++-2.0’ found I captured all of the output to a file if it would help for me to post it somewhere. How do I fix this?

What code should I look at to port parsing/viewing SVGs to another language?
by Bryan Dunphy 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

I’m trying to use this app SVG parse and view code as a model to create an SVG viewer module for a cross-platform language I use. Exactly which source code files do I need to look at? Are there any underlying assumptions or dependencies I need to be aware of?

Using center of rotation in Python extension
by Pieter Barendrecht 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Hi all, How does one obtain the center of rotation of an object from within a Python script/extension? Is it perhaps a property of BaseElement (I don't see it mentioned here — https://inkscape.gitlab.io/inkscape/doxygen-extensions/classinkex_1_1elemen… )? Best, Pieter

Font attributes not available in Inkscape
by Ivan Louette 25 Oct '18

25 Oct '18

Hi Often after designing a font with FontForge the attributes (Italic, Bold or others) are available in LibreOffice or Scribus but not in Inkscape (even in latest Trunk releases). And sometimes it happens to commercial fonts too. Is that a naming question ? And what is absolutely needed to make the attributes available in Inkscape ? Thanks in advance, ivan

Default Palette
by unknown＠example.com 25 Oct '18

25 Oct '18

Dear devs, I've had some complaints that Inkscape's default palette isn't that welcoming to new users. It's too harsh and varied. A number of users have asked me personally why we don't use the Tango palette as our default palette and move Inkscape default to a new name. I don't actually know which palette would be the best to have as the default. Would a poll be a useful way to find out? To aid, I've committed a soc2gpl script so we can have a look at LibreOffice palettes for comparison. Best Regards, Martin Owens
