creating new layer
by Alexandre Prokoudine 11 Jan '08

Hi, What do you think about assigning a shorcut to "Layer - New Layer..."? Ctrl+Shift+N maybe? Also, is there any particular reason for not enabling dynamic shortcuts creation? Alexandre

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Bugs milestoned for 0.46
by Glimmer Labs 11 Jan '08

I wanted to let you know that I'm leaving town for a week this Saturday, and I will probably not have internet access. If there is anything you would like me to do concerning the patch before then, let me know. I don't know what the deadlines are for 0.46, but I have plenty of time tomorrow to work on the patch if you need help with something, and I will also have a good amount of time to work on it when I get back a week from Saturday. Here is the patch again: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/169967 Thanks for everything. I'm really excited to see our patch in 0.46.

tb_s and tb_e in toolbox.cpp
by jiho 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi all, We've just received a patch by Adam Strzelecki that improves Inkscape on OSX, and will probably enable us to make a native experimental build for 0.46. Part of the patch is not directly OS X related and suggests to remove some stuff from toolbox.cpp. In Adam's words: * src/widgets/toolbox.cpp: removes tb_s, tb_e spacers from the toolbars to they DON'T have ugly underlines (who did invent this anyway, this produces ugly look in most GTK themes where toolbars are 2x inset in the GUI, I believe this should be removed anyway in all builds (platforms)) and the part of the patch is: Index: src/widgets/toolbox.cpp =================================================================== --- src/widgets/toolbox.cpp (revision 16998) +++ src/widgets/toolbox.cpp (working copy) @@ -630,14 +630,9 @@ { GtkWidget *tb = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0); - GtkWidget *tb_s = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0); - GtkWidget *tb_e = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0); gtk_box_set_spacing(GTK_BOX(tb), AUX_SPACING); - gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(tb), GTK_WIDGET(tb_s), FALSE, FALSE, 0); - gtk_box_pack_end(GTK_BOX(tb), GTK_WIDGET(tb_e), FALSE, FALSE, 0); g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(tb), "desktop", NULL); - g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(tb), "top_spacer", tb_s); gtk_widget_set_sensitive(tb, FALSE); @@ -667,11 +662,7 @@ { GtkWidget *tb = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0); - GtkWidget *tb_s = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0); - GtkWidget *tb_e = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0); gtk_box_set_spacing(GTK_BOX(tb), AUX_SPACING); - gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(tb), GTK_WIDGET(tb_s), FALSE, FALSE, 0); - gtk_box_pack_end(GTK_BOX(tb), GTK_WIDGET(tb_e), FALSE, FALSE, 0); g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(tb), "desktop", NULL); gtk_widget_set_sensitive(tb, FALSE); @@ -1439,10 +1430,6 @@ } gtk_widget_show(toolbox); - // need to show the spacer, or the padding will be off - GtkWidget *spacer = GTK_WIDGET(g_object_get_data(G_OBJECT(toolbox), "top_spacer")); - gtk_widget_show(spacer); - gtk_widget_show_all(shown_toolbox); } I have no clue about this.

Bug Report and new Extension
by Rob Antonishen 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi- I finally signed up on Launchpad, so I hope I did this correctly... I had written an extension to re-stack selected items (left to right, top to bottom, or vice versa) using a specified base point on each object. I posted about this on the inkscape users list. Recently I converted it to work with lxml.etree (Thanks Ted, Aaron, and Radek). It was really slow however, as it would call new instances of inkscape to get the location of the objects. Kurt pointed out this bug report/patch https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/174701 that provides a --querry-all command lie option, so I converted it. It now works, and it quite fast. In doing this, I found a bug in the live preview and optiongroups which I reported as a new bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/181799 I have attached the extension to that bug report, as I could find no other extension using the optionsgroup parameter type (other than the developer example that doesn't effect the drawing). My questions are: 1) Is it worth getting my extension added to the distribution? (This thread has an example of what it does http://inkscape-forum.andreas-s.net/topic/133367#594472 but using the old code) 2) If so, can someone check my python? I have never used python before this and it was a significant effort in trial and error (I am not sure if the csv to list conversion is really necessary, but couldn't get it to work otherwise) 3) Also if so, should I "submit it" as another bug report in launchpad (or is there a different way to offer up an extension to the project)? Thanks, -Rob A>

Selection rubberband missing in some tools?
by Maximilian Albert 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi all, is there a reason why the current selection is not indicated by a rubberband in (at least) Tweak and Calligraphy context? I keep stumbling across this issue when I want to tweak an object but the Tweak tool refuses to work - until I select the object in question (which I can't verify, though, since the selection is not visible). Thanks, Max

a silent screenshots call :)
by Alexandre Prokoudine 11 Jan '08

Hi, We have a bunch of cool screenshots for 0.46 already, but we could have just two more: - demo of SVG filters in use (ScislaC?) - a Mac screenshot to demo a better integration (Jiho?) What do you think? Alexandre

Python Extension Changes to getElementsByTagName?
by Rob Antonishen 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi- I couldn't find this in the bugtracker, so signed up to ask here Hope this is appropriate... has there been a change to the SVG handling in recent devel nightlies (win 32 binary versions)? Several extensions I had written no longer work. I also discuvered the Hello World example from the wiki shares the same error. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PythonEffectTutorial The error is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "share\extensions\hello_world.py", line 57, in <module> effect.affect() File "C:\PF\Inkscape\share\extensions\inkex.py", line 154, in affect self.effect() File "share\extensions\hello_world.py", line 29, in effect svg = self.document.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0] AttributeError: 'etree._ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getElementsByTagName' Also, is there an option in the .inx file I can set to permanently disable the live preview check option? My extension take a long time to run (>30 seconds) and the live preview becomes a pain. Thanks. -Rob A>

Re: [Inkscape-devel] grids, guides, snapping UI
by Guillermo Espertino 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

I filed a bug related to the "snap guides while dragging" behavior: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181020 Diederik did a great job fixing its behavior, now it is more controllable and does what it should. The problem is that it's not clearly explained what sould it do. In the same bug report Diederik explained why it's not possible to snap to segments atm, so he had to apply the snapping to the points only. Knowing this, the snapping works perfectly. imo, the only thing that should be changed is the checkbox label: "snap guides to points while dragging". As it is disabled by default, people will have to read the label to turn that feature on, so there's no excuses like "people don't read tooltips". About the other Bulia's proposals... I agree. The snapping options should be unified and simplified to make the easier to understand. The features work great, but the UI is slightly confusing. Regards, Gez.
