Alt and Mode_switch for shortcuts
by jiho 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi everyone, On Mac OS X Leopard, the option/alt key is mapped to Mode_switch by default under X11 and this apparently cause it to no longer work as "alt" in Inkscape (the behavior is supposed to be consistent with the previous OS version though I never saw any problem with Alt before. anyway, they changed a lot of stuff on X11 side, not always for the better...). Modifying the ~/.Xmodmap [1] works for me but since Alt is so important in Inkscape I would prefer fixing it upstream rather than asking everyone to modify their ~/.Xmodmap.So my questions are: - what is the difference in essence between Alt and Mode_switch? Mode_switch in particular seems to be used rather inconsistently between the OSes, keyboards etc. - Would there be a problem in using Mode_switch or Alt conversely for all alt based shortcuts in Inkscape? Is it already the case in some places? - What about the Alt remapping hack. I could find a patch o the mailing list but nothing after that. I think it was applied though so how could I use it? Thanks in advance for your help. [1] ! This one switches both alt keys to be alt: keycode 66 = Alt_L keycode 69 = Alt_R clear mod1 add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

More recent autopackage builds?
by Richard Michael 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

I have a large PDF I've converted to PS an am attempting to edit in Inkscape, but it is causing quite a few problems. I'd like to test with the most recent version of Inkscape, but the latest autopackage build appears to be 07 Nov 2007. Are there any more recent pre-0.46 builds available? Richard

I'm on OS X.5 with Inkscape 0.45+devel, built Dec 8 2007 Whenever I try to use a filter get this: [] < The fantabulous lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex_lxml.py and therefore this extension. Please download the latest version from <http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/ >. [] < and when i try to install it, it has an error and doesnt finnish and I can't figure out what is up.

help needed to fix a windows-only bug
by bulia byak 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

I would be grateful to anyone who can debug on Windows for any help with this critical bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/169011 I don't develop on Windows and I have no time to set it all up right now, but the bug seems somewhere in the style code which I know well, so if someone can tell me at least approximately where or when the unsetting happens I will probably be able to guess how to fix it. Thanks! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Fwd: [Clipart] Anyone Know How To Donate To Inkscape?
by ryan lerch 17 Dec '07

Forwardded on from the OCAL list... cheers, ryanlerch ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Greg Bulmash <oneminuteinspirations@...400...> Date: Dec 17, 2007 1:39 PM Subject: [Clipart] Anyone Know How To Donate To Inkscape? To: Open Clip Art Library list <clipart@...626...> Doing some year-end donations... not for taxes, but for karma. Already gave a few bucks to OCAL (via Jon) back when all the server issues happened. Used Inkscape a lot this year, so I figured it was worth a small sum. But I couldn't find anywhere I could donate. Even if it's not a 503c non-profit, I don't mind. Still happy to give a small non-deductible donation to say thanks for the great software and encourage its further development. If they're not comfortable calling it a donation, call it a a tip, a couple of bucks in the development team's collective g-string. Anyhoo, before I take that metaphor to places where people start wishing their imaginations had eyes to claw out, just wanted to ask if there was somewhere I could paypal $20 to say "thanks for doing that voodoo that you do so well." Anyone? - Greg _______________________________________________ clipart mailing list clipart@...626... http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart

the number of NEW bugs in the Tracker is now < 1000
by Ryan Lerch 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Good news everyone, Your friendly Inkscape Bug Team has been busy triaging bugs over the weekend, and the total number of Bugs with a "NEW" status is now under 1000 (about 57% of total bugs.) When Triaging on Launchpad started a couple of weeks ago, this figure was up near 1900 (nearly 100% of all bugs) cheers, ryanlerch

reinterpret_cast unreliable on windows?
by bulia byak 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

I have fixed this windows-only bug, but I cannot fully understand how: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/169011 The problem was in this line: g_snprintf( b, len, "%s:%s;", key, css.gcharp() ); and gcharp is defined as: gchar const *gcharp() const { return reinterpret_cast<gchar const *>(ostr.str().c_str()); } The problem is that sometimes, rarely on some Windows systems and more frequently on others, gcharp() returned empty string for non-empty ostr. I replaced it with simply: g_snprintf( b, len, "%s:%s;", key, css.str().c_str() ); and the problem went away. Can anyone explain how this could happen? Is reinterpret_cast unreliable? Maybe we should eliminate it everywhere? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

lxml + numpy (on OS X PPC but not only)
by jiho 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

Hi everyone, In order to provide out of the box python functionality on OS X for the upcoming 0.46 release, we'll bundle the python packages Inkscape uses in all flavors (i.e. ppc and intel, for every version of python). I would need someone who has these packages installed to send them to me: - lxml and numpy ppc with python 2.4.* - lxml and numpy ppc with python 2.5.* These two versions of python are *not* the one shipped with Mac OS X Panther or Tiger. They are typically obtained via MacPorts, Fink or the binary distribution of Python for Mac. MacPorts versions are in / opt/local/Framework/Python/.../lib/site-packages. Versions for the binary distribution of python are probably somewhere in /usr/local or in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/2.4/. I am looking for two directories in site-packages, unsurprisingly named lxml and numpy. If no-one has them already it would be really nice if someone could compile them for me on a PPC machine. This is really simple: - download lxml and numpy (from their respective homes, google is your friend ;)) - decompress them (usually already done for you) - in terminal sudo python setup.py install - go fetch the directories where they where installed (check the latest terminal messages), zip them and contact me. Thanks in advance. PS for the more knowledgeable around here: I am acting under the assumption that packages such as lxml and numpy are incompatible between point versions of Python (2.3 vs 2.4 vs 2.5), which is what I read somewhere. If someone has indication that this is not true, it would be very nice to point my mistake: things would be simpler and Inkscape won't grow too fat if we can just ship one version of the packages (the sum of all pyton packages will probably be around 70Mb, compared to the 80Mb of Inkscape itself, it seems a bit overkill...).
