Hi, An issue was raised in #inkscape today about donations. Some people would like to donate money to the project, but 1) We have no PayPal link on main page, and SourceForge page is not obvious enough. 2) Not everyone wnats to register at SF to be able to donate. What shall we do? Alexandre

I find it useful to grep for things I'm looking for in that directory.

You don't need to specify the modules in your INX file. The dependency checking that Inkscape has isn't very smart, it is only the basically looking to see if a file exists in the path or in the extensions directory. It doesn't know about how to load Python modules or anything like that. > Also, what version of the Python interpreter is used by Inkscape?

On Linux, Inkscape will use the python interpreter from your system first. You can overwrite that in your settings if you like. On Windows, it will use the version of Python that is packaged with Inkscape, which I believe is 2.5. > Thanks for all the support guys. This is really great and unexpected! No problem Scott. In the Inkscape project we believe that success is determined by the number and quality of contributions. We want everyone to be able to contribute what they can. --Ted

nodepath.cpp compile failure with gcc3; which isnan.h?
by John Faith 05 Oct '07

05 Oct '07

Hello, I did 'svn up' to version 16183 and hit trouble in nodepath.cpp when building with gcc 3.3 under OS X 10.3.: ... g++ ... nodepath.cpp ... 2geom/linear.h:90: error: `isfinite' undeclared in namespace `std' I noticed that src/2geom/linear.h includes src/2geom/isnan.h, which is a bit different from src/isnan.h. The former does not have gcc3/apple ifdefs. Was isnan.h copied into 2geom at some point, and if it should be the same file, why not just let the include path find the one in src/? By the way, replacing src/2geom/isnan.h with src/isnan.h (which has the ifdef gcc3 stuff) does not fix this. Thanks, John

Little enhancement for font toolbox dropdown
by Daniel Genrich 05 Oct '07

05 Oct '07

Heym some guys on irc forced me to write this on the mailinglist :) I had to test 200 fonts if they fit for my text. Everytime I selected some font from the list, the dropdown menu closed. Quite annoying for me. This little patch prevents automatic closing, enables browsing via arrow-up and arrow-down, and closing of the dropdown menu via return/enter. Already tested by some irc guys :) you'll find the diff against today's svn here: http://pastebin.ca/725982 It's a 4-liner :) Greetings and good work, Daniel

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Color Tweak - Option to not create new gradient
by rosros-3＠...112... 05 Oct '07

Things that could be done in a future enhanced gradient editor: 1) Chosing the interpolation between stoppoints (for instance linear, cubic spline, other functions...) [of course this is the abstract viewpoint, since finally all SVG gradients will be a set of stoppoints with linear interpolation of colors and alpha between them]. 2) Inserting formulae for the generation of RGBA values AND of the positions of stoppoints see http://rosros-3.blogspot.com/ 3) ... rosros -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Vuoi un prestito fino a 30.000 Euro?

GUI For Insckape Script Extensions
by Redefined Horizons 05 Oct '07

05 Oct '07

I noticed the attached slide on Ted's presentation on Inkscape extensions. In the python example available online I see how to use the automatic GUI for scripts to collect text or String data. Can someone point out some examples or documentation that explains how to set up an automatic GUI for a script that uses enumerations or radio buttons? Would it be possible to use PyGTK from within an Inkscape extension script? Thanks for the help. Scott Huey

Composite Filter, arithmetic mode
by Tavmjong Bah 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hi, I've been studying the filter primitives. While the work that has been done is quite impressive, there seems to be quite a bit of polishing to do. I am currently having trouble with the Composite filter primitive. As I read the standard, the K values in the Arithmetic mode can be negative. This leads to the case where one or more of the calculated RGBA values can be negative. Of course these must eventually be clamped at zero. However, the calculation is done by using integers with the K values multiplied by a power of 255. The resulting integer is then normalized to be between 0 and 255 by the NR_NORMALIZE_31 function located in nr-pixops.h. This function uses the FAST_DIV_ROUND routine (also in nr-pixops.h) which is only valid for non-negative numbers.... thus it gives the wrong result (a positive value instead of zero). Can an expert suggest a fix? Tav

Xara's designers think that "named colors" is a great feature of their program and I agree with them. Changing the color of 100 objects without affecting 100 other objects that have the same current color on the canvas can be achieved easily with named colors (complicated selections may be needed otherwise). With two-stop gradients one must edit two stoppoints, with one-stop gradients just one ... of course. Linked gradients (and colors), that is unforked ones, can save SVG code and improve loading (and perhaps rendering) speed. Moreover, this feature is already there! So, why removing it? It just needs to be made more perspicuous ... and perhaps enhanced with "shades" of the same color, another great feature of Xara, for which the code in Inkscape is already there according to Jon Cruz!! Shouldn't Inkscape be made SVG-1.1-compliant (see the opensource Batik 1.7 [http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/], which - for instance - renders SVG 1.1 feColorMatrix very well; try opening http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=93438&atid=604306&file… in Inkscape)? rosros -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Scegli ciò che stai cercando tra migliaia di annunci, prova con Email.it Annunci, linserzione è gratuita!

CMS display adjustment change
by Jon A. Cruz 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hi, I just checked in an update with icc color profiles and setting display calibration. Now upon startup latest SVN Inkscape will search the standard locations for profiles ~/.color/icc /usr/local/share/color/icc /usr/share/color/icc Then under the misc preferences you'll have a checkbox for enabling display calibration, along with a drop-down combo box that allows you to pick between all RGB display profiles found. Give it a rundown and let me know how it's behaving. Thanks.
