pasting from outer space :)

Hi, Guys, I owe a big friendly hug to someone who made copypasting bitmap selections from GIMP to Inkscape possible in 0.46 :-) For some reason this is not mentioned in "Other changes and improvements". Whoever did this, please don't hesitate to write about it in release notes. Now we only need two things: Inkscape->GIMP copypasting and dpi bug fixed :-) Alexandre

Hidden layers not hidden in preview and print
by Hans-Jürgen Hay 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

for me Inkscape 0.45+0.46pre0 built on Debian etch++ prints layers that have been marked as hidden in the layer menu. The same happens with previews. My installed cairo libaries are just in case this is relevant: ii libcairo2 1.4.10-1 ii libcairo2-dev 1.4.10-1 ii libcairomm-1.0 1.4.6-1 ii libcairomm-1.0 1.4.6-1 Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Alterras GmbH, Allersbergerstr. 185-N, D-90461 Nürnberg http://www.alterras.de/, info@...1868...

infobox for filter effects dialog
by Felipe Sanches 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

I have just commited a feature that took me some time to implement (because it required artistic inspiration) It is an infobox that explains to the user what each available filter primitive does. I'd like to receive feedback about this feature. So, svn update; make; sudo make install and then check what changed on the filters dialog. make install is needed because I have added some images to the UI. One is still missing: feDisplacement Map. Anybody have any idea of how to depict this primitive in a mnemonical way? Juca

new libraries bundle for windows requested
by bulia byak 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi Bob, Here's a summary of recently discovered problems that this new bundle must address: - it must have that gspawn-win32-helper*.exe thing without which effects now crash - it must have at least gtk 2.10.12, because of this bugfix: 392015 Selected menu item invisible on Windows Vista - it must have libgc compiled with LARGE_CONFIG defined, as per the instructions linked from this bug (in mental's comment): https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1803613&group_id=… to remove the 0.5 Gb memory limit. Thanks, and let me know if I forgot something! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

So you might have noticed that I dropped the suggestion in the documentation for cairo_image_surface_create_for_data that playing games with stride is a good way to generate sub-surfaces. More on that below. > Also while at this, how does this work for: > > - 64-bit machines? Is the requirement still just 32? Guess yes. Yes. The requirement comes from the fact that all of pixman is currently in terms of uint32_t. But, yes, the existence of 64-bit architectures is exactly why we want to be able to "upgrade" the alignment constraints in the future. Hence the newly required function call. > - Machines that do not allow unaligned access. Do we also require > that data be aligned properly? Right. And this is why the sub-surface thing is a problem. I tried to address this in the new documentation for cairo_image_surface_create_for_data by stealing language from malloc. What I'm trying to say there is that the data pointer needs to be properly aligned for the current platform. Take a look at the wording I used and see if you can improve it at all. -Carl

1.6: a8-mask: Making non-aligned strides illegal
by Carl Worth 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

On Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:43:35 -0800, Carl Worth wrote: > • Fix a8mask failure cworth In talking with Keith, Eric, and Søren I've become convinced that instead of "supporting" rendering to/from an A8 mask with a non-multiple-of-4 stride value, we really do want to just document this as illegal. Forcing this kind of alignment will allow for many more optimization opportunities. The inkscape folks had run into this problem and I had said we'd have a fix in 1.6. Instead, I'd like to volunteer to help fix the inkscape code to allocate buffers with a properly aligned stride. If some kind inkscape developer were willing to help me with this soon, that would be great. In order to make it easier to know what a "legal" stride is, (and to allow us to require more stringent alignment constraints in the future), I'm proposing the following new API: int cairo_image_surface_stride_for_width (cairo_format_t format, int width); And also documenting cairo_image_surface_create_for_data that the stride value passed to it should always come from calling the function above. More details, (and more thorough documentation), in the patches below. I'll push unless there are complaints. -Carl
