A developer seeks some work
by Andre Twupack 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Hi Inkscapers! My name is André Twupack and I have been using Inkscape for two years now. I have used it mainly as a utility to create/edit SVG-based circuit diagrams to test a Batik-based software I have developed. From my working background I'm a Java developer with in-depth knowledge about XML/SVG and I'm also having some experience in C/C++ although not on a professional level. During the last two years I have provided a few minor patches but now I would like to become more involved in the development of Inkscape. Therefore I'm posting here to find one of the members of the development team who needs some help or can assign me a task. As I'm especially interested in GUI design/development, I could perhaps help with the migration of Inkscape to gtkmm. Maybe one of the developers already working on this could contact me with some information about what still needs to be done and how I can help. I hope with my work I can help to make Inkscape even better as it already is. André

Hi, I'm a InkScape user on Mac OS X.5 (leopard). I found a solution to launch Inkscape under Leopard. You will found the "script" file which is in : Inkscape.app/Contents/Ressources/script. I change some lines : comment line 17 and 18 17 #open-x11 /tmp/getdisplay.sh || 18 #open -a XDarwin /tmp/getdisplay.sh || Leave line 19 : echo ":0"> /tmp/display.$UID Add this line : open /Applications/Utilities/X11.app Thank you for your works ! I hope this is will help someone !

specular lighting
by Steren Giannini 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hello all, Since I had a close look to filter effect, I noticed something : When zooming, the specular lighting filter is very ugly (here a screenshot http://lesgeorges.org/subdomains/pannini/media/specular_lighting.png But that's not an inkscape issue, there is the same problem is Batik. Apparently (as far as I understood) this filter is raster-based and the FilterRes values are responsible for the quality. I just wanted to know what do you think of this. (here is the svg example : http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/images/filters/filters01.svg) Thanks for your response Steren <http://lesgeorges.org/subdomains/pannini/media/specular_lighting.png>

patches
by john cliff 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hi Guys, There are 2 patches in the tracker currently from me which I'd quite like to get reviewed/checked in if possible. One adds selection to marker funcitonality, the other adds stock patterns to the fill/stroke dialog. If any of you can find the time to take a look I'd appreciate it, my SVN s bust and I'm so rusty anyways that I'd feel more comfortable with at least a second set of eyes having had a look over it. Cheers John

Tango Icons

I'm willing to contribute my time > (For people who don't remember, I contributed the traced Lamborghini Gallardo > for the 0.45 screenshots). If there's a need, Who do I contact about this? Yes, to make this discussion actually productive, there is a need for artists (and if you can make the icons as good as the gallardo, this is promissing!). The concensus seems to be around redrawing current icons in Tango style, keeping as much of the current design as possible and trying not to be too far from the Tango ArtLibre set at the same time. Doing that correctly is challenging but what's life without challenge ;) Concretely: - I first need to add a tango-icons.svg file to the SVN repository so that people can work on the same file, possibly at the same time. I will include old icons, and the ArtLibre set in the file so that everything is at hand to design the new ones. When we are finished, we will only keep the new ones. - People willing to contribute should familiarize themselves with the Tango icon style guidelines http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines and get a feeling of what the result can be by looking at the ArtLibre set: http://tango.freedesktop.org/ArtLibreSet - The wiki page should be updated with the icons while we design them http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/TangoifiedIcons to get a feeling of where we are heading. I'll try to commit this today or tomorrow and then people can start drawing. Given that some icons are likely to be re-drawn several time to satisfy everyone, I think we should draw them quickly without too much detail and refine them afterwards rather than try to nail every detail in one shot. As for the more code-related stuff, as Jon said icons names should be changed to meet the Tango icon naming guidelines and icon loading code may beed to be made more generic but I see this as quite orthogonal to icon design ATM, so both projects can be donce independently for now. Ok let's get started. -- JiHO http://jo.irisson.free.fr

Clone tiler icons
by jiho 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hello everyone, I am right in thinking that most of the clone tiler icons are now unused? There were come icons such as clone_tiler_per_row_color, clone_tiler_per_row scale and so on, while, in the interface, I just see the two simple clone_tiler_per_row and clone_tiler_per_column. Thanks in advance for your help. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

bug? 'embed all images' can't find png files in local directory
by Tom Davidson 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hi all, I am running into problems with the embedimages extension. Inkscape displays the linked image (which is in the same directory as the svg file) just fine, but then complains that it can't find the file when I ask it to embed the image. So there is some kind of mismatch in the two algorithms being used to follow links. I have posted this in the tracker (with test files, error message, etc) as bug # 1824893 ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1824893&group_id=9… ). Any help would be much appreciated! -Tom

website update - svn lock
by Alexandre Prokoudine 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hi, Not sure this is the right list to write, but since about a week we've been experiencing problems with updating web-site using the publishing script: it complains about svn lock. This makes it impossible to make things like translated news available to visitors. Could this please be fixed? Alexandre

Windows developers beware!
by unknown＠example.com 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Bob just changed building on Windows to default to dwarf2 things. This means that you should probably do the following if you hadn't already: 1. download the latest libpackage from inkscape.modevia.com http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/devlibs-2.12-071101.7z 2. NOTE THE NEW c:\devlibs DEFAULT PATH FOR THE DEV LIBS!!! 3. see mingwenv.bat and build.xml to make sure the paths are correct 4. btool clean, and start using build.xml again (default) Hope you have no probs! Johan
