State of progress of Mac integration?
by Maximilian Albert 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi all, I just finished talking with a friend who discovered Inkscape today (without any effort on my part :)) while working on a webpage for his funk & soul band. He was really enthused by Inkscape's power and usability, so first I'd like to give the kudos to all developers. However, using a Mac, he felt that the overall integration and "Mac feeling" could still be improved. Following my suggestion he gave one of the development snapshots a try (he was using the 0.45 release) and was pleasantly surprised to discover improvements (e.g., Apple key + click now correctly emulates right click). I think some of this is due to jiho's work? Thanks! (Also to all the others working in this area.) But some other things still don't work properly. He mentioned, for instance, that Inkscape windows cannot be opened/maximised by clicking on the task bar (or whatever it's called on the Mac), which I found strange but using Linux I can neither confirm nor refute. So I was trying to find info about the changes since 0.45 in the Release Notes for 0.46, unfortunately without success. Just out of curiosity (since I'm not affected by this), is any info about the changes or about what's still missing available somewhere? Thanks again for everybody's efforts to make Inkscape yet more powerful and user friendly, Max

(when requiring that all snapping options should be accessible in that dialog). This is not needed when using the nodes/bbox option, as we have checkboxes for these already. summarizing our options: 1) nodes/bbox option: - no additional checkboxes needed 2) grids/guides/objects option: - closest to "grid visible but not snapping", which is the most requested feature, > Diederik > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper > from Novell.

Launchpad Tips & Tricks: Graphs
by Bryce Harrington 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi all, I asked Brian Murray if he'd include Inkscape in his bug plots, and he has. Total number of New bugs for the past week: http://people.ubuntu.com/~brian/project-graphs/inkscape/plots/inkscape-week… Here's the number of untriaged bugs for the past day: http://people.ubuntu.com/~brian/project-graphs/inkscape/plots/inkscape-1day… I like using the above type of chart when I'm doing triaging, so you can see the effects of your labors. There's a certain joy in pushing the next hour's dot on the graph down, that helps when the triaging work starts getting monotonous. ;-) There's all manner of variations in status and time duration, too, although most are boring at the moment: http://people.ubuntu.com/~brian/project-graphs/inkscape/plots/ If the rendering style looks familiar, you're right! Brian uses gnuplot's svg output feature, then post-renders them to png using Inkscape. :-) Bryce

Thanks for Pattern along Path
by David Christian Berg 30 Nov '07

Hey everybody, I'm not really aware right now who created this awesome possibility. I haven't really used it for any productive work so far, but I just love it. Maybe not the interface completely, but hey, the live effect itself is so fantastic! It's great for doing brush effects but by far more flexible, than what I've seen in Illustrator so far... Thanks!

Inkscape + Boehm GC 7.0
by Jean-Olivier Irisson 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi all, Is boehm-gc version 7.0 known to be broken or anything? Does someone uses it successfully on another platform? Compiling Inkscape against v 7.0 on OS X cause it to hang forever on startup. I can "sample the process" and get this if that tells something to anyone: Analysis of sampling pid 16860 every 10.000000 milliseconds Call graph: 300 Thread_0f07 300 0x26cd 300 0x27a6 300 0x30a4 300 0x511bad 300 GC_init 300 GC_init_inner 300 GC_try_to_collect_inner 300 GC_stopped_mark 300 GC_stop_world 300 GC_release_mark_lock 300 __spin_lock 300 __spin_lock 300 Thread_1003 300 _pthread_body 300 GC_mark_thread 300 GC_help_marker 300 GC_acquire_mark_lock 300 GC_generic_lock 300 pthread_mutex_lock 300 new_sem_from_pool 300 semaphore_create 300 mach_msg_trap 300 mach_msg_trap Total number in stack (recursive counted multiple, when >=5): Sort by top of stack, same collapsed (when >= 5): __spin_lock 300 mach_msg_trap 300 Sample analysis of process 16860 written to file /dev/stdout Sampling process 16860 each 10 msecs 300 times All the GC_*** tells me that boehmgc has something to do with it ;) Inkscape does not crash, nor displays messages in the console. It just hangs and never get to the point of showing the GUI. Starting it inside gdb does not help in getting more info, not without knowing where to set a break point at least. Thanks in advance for your enlightening answers. Jean-Olivier Irisson --- UMR 5244 CNRS-EPHE-UPVD, 52 av Paul Alduy, 66860 Perpignan Cedex, France +336 21 05 19 90 http://jo.irisson.free.fr/work/

by Khoem Sokhem 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello List, I have finished translating Inkscape into Khmer (the official language of Cambodia). I have installed Inkcape 0.45.1 on my XP system, after finished installing, I got the inkscape in English. But I have to make a configuration in order to make in Khmer language. the steps to do is: right click on my computer in desktop--> properties--> advanced --> Environment variable --> click New under User variable for .... then fill variable name= LANG and variable value= km_KM then click OK, after I got Inkscape in Khmer. But in the title bar it shows ??????????? insteat of Khmer character. Can inkscape after installing swith to any language as we want? I mean that user can switch language to their own language. Best Regards, Sokhem

Sourceforge trackers still accessible
by jiho 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi again everyone, and Bryce in particular, It seems that, even though there's no tracker tab anymore at sourceforge, the tracker is still accessible when using the address directly. For example: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93438&atid=604306 It would be nice if there was an error message, or better: a link to Launchpad, in place of the tracker to avoid people going there from links on other websites.

Unexplicable bug
by jiho 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all, This simple file: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/badges_crash.svg repeatedly crashes Inkscape devel on my machine when I open it. And it have no idea why. Inkscape first crashed when editing this file (but the content I was editing at that time is not present in this file since it was lost). The document recovery did not work and this version is the last saved version which should not have been touched by Inkscape since I did not saved my changes. I am suspecting something with the grid which has been flaky for a few revisions (grid space changing on its own, grid appearing when reopening docs in which it was not defined etc.). I hope the file will be enough to diagnose the problem. If this can be reproduced I'll post a bug report in the brand new Launchpad bug tracker. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/
