Fwd: Stupid question - object's dimensions
by Rob Antonishen 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Is this using a python extension to inkscape, or in an external application? If an extension, you can call another instance of inkscape passing the --query-all parameter and get a list of all the bounding boxes for every object in the svg file. -Rob A> On Jan 31, 2008 12:37 AM, M.

Accessing Resource Data in Python Scripts
by Joel Holdsworth 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi All, I'm just working on a rendering extension, which needs to access a collection of source data files. Really I'd like to add a sub-directory to the extension scripts directory, but I'm having difficulty accessing the sub-directory, because when my script starts, it's working directory seems to be my home directory not the extension directory. So if I call the line inkex.etree.parse( "my-sub-dir/data.svg" ) it only returns successfully if my-sub-dir is in my home directory. Does anyone have any suggestions how to access my data files from their installation directory? Thanks Joel

GTK+ on Native OSX Update
by Derek Hinchliffe 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi all, Apologies if this has been posted already, I haven't been keeping up with the list of late. But I thought those of you tracking the progress of the native GTK+ port to OSX might be interested in the following blog post from Mikael Hallendal from Imendio. http://micke.hallendal.net/blog/2008/01/30/happenings-in-gtk/ Quote: "Our aim is to have an easily installable framework for Mac OS X finished within the next couple of weeks to make it very easy to setup your Mac OS X machine for cross platform application development with GTK+." This is good news, as although it looks like the port still has some way to go before it is production ready, getting a framework build out there will greatly simplify testing apps like Inkscape and finding bugs. Cheers Derek

NEW: Corel DRAW X4 and Zoner Draw 5 keyboard profiles
by Alexandre Prokoudine 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi, Sorry guys - I couldn't resist adding a new feature during feature freeze :) First shot at keyboard profiles for Corel DRAW and Zoner Draw has landed into trunk. I'll try improving bits here and there in he next days, but current version should be good enough already. Also, Adobe Illustrator profiles has been fixed and improved. If I'm lucky with spare time, I'll try adding another one for ACD Systems Canvas 11 too. P.S. In case you don't know yet, work on Corel DRAW X4 file format support in UniConvertor is ongoing and new release to add this feature is planned *real soon now* ;-) Cheers, Alexandre

filter node parameters UI
by Felipe Sanches 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

I have noticed the need for a way to configure x,y,width and height for the filtered area. These are paremeters of the <filter/> node. I am trying to code it but I got some problems that I was not able to solve. Maybe you can help me. Please take a look at this patch. It substitutes the original _settings_box by a Gtk::Notebook with 2 tabs. In the first tab we have the filter primitive settings. In the second tab I have put the filter settings (x,y,width and height) My doubts are: 1) am I coding correctly the setting of filter node parameters? 2) why doesn't the filter node parameters start hidden as it happens with the primitive settings? 3) we have some problem with the labels of the filter node settings. Could you please review this patch? It would be great to see this on pre1 release which seems to be scheduled for tonight. And it is certainly necessary for 0.46! best wishes, Juca PS: I also thought it would be cool to have these being adjustable by handles on canvas maybe, but that's not the case by now. Maybe we can work on this possible enhancement in a future version of inkscape.

Debugging under OS X
by John Faith 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hello, I was chasing a startup crash on OS X 10.3.9 and after some difficulty I found a way to get a backtrace from gdb. I hoped this to be simple, but possibly due to the fact that on OS X the Initial launcher app calls a script which calls a script which calls the actual binary, I think gdb got confused. Where is a good place to document this, assuming this or something better is not already written down? This page?: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DebuggingTips , John
