I just committed the initial cut of display calibration. Just set the preference to your display correction profile and enable it. Let me know how it works.

I am thinking about an 'Enveloppe' path effect (LPE), something similar to the path-along-path LPE: http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.46-lpe-pathalongpath… You'll need to draw two paths, one for the upper bound (ellipse in your case) and one for the lower bound. You apply the effect to your 'Text > Object to Path' and then your text or path will be stretched from upper bound to lower bound. You'll then be able to edit the bounds live on-canvas, so you can quickly change things around :) I am not sure whether this will make 0.46, probably not unless some other developer is interested in implementing this. I can give a lot of help if someone is interested in making this! Regards, Johan

empty directories
by Alexandre Prokoudine 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hi, To the best of my knowledge, by default several empty directories are created by Inkscape installations: $PREFIX/share/gradients, fonts and patterns. I've already seen several times people asking, where they can find patterns or gradients for Inkscape, because they think that something is supposed to be put there :) Should we get rid of them until we properly support that functionality? And do we have some kind of vision for patterns/gradients libraries? Alexandre

SVG filter effects and Batik source code
by rosros-3＠...112... 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

The support for all SVG filters (Filter Effects) is very good in Batik (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/). Since the source code is available, would it be a good idea just to take that code and adapt it?? BTW, an old SVG editor such as Graffiti also supports the filters. -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Devi vendere o coprare qualcosa?

Problem with document base / xlink:href and embbed images
by jiho 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hello everyone, I just tried to embed images in a new Inkscape document, created with a recent SVN build of Inkscape, and it did not work. Here is the problem (it's quite tricky): The SVG document comes from a computer with a different directory organization. It has images linked in it, that are in the same directory that the document. I open it on my machine and copy parts of it (some paths + some bitmaps) to a new, untilted document. Inkscape copies the images with xlink:href containing a relative link to the image (just the name in this case) and sodipodi:absref which is not valid anymore (it contains the directory structure of the other machine). In the new document, images initially appear as broken links since the absref is not valid and the document has not been saved, hence the root is unknown. I save this new document next to the orignal one, so that the relative links are respected. Once saved, the xlink:href become valid but the images are still show as broken. I have to reopen the document to see the images (which is probably a problem in itself). In the XML editor, just to be sure, I deleted the sodipodi:absref elements which were not valid anyway. Then I tried to embbed the images and Inkscape complained saying "No xlink:href or sodipodi:absref attributes found, or they do not point to an existing file! Unable to embed image. Sorry we could not locate /Applications/Inkscape.app/ u_velocity_bottom.png" The absref attributes are not there so that's fine but the xlinks are valid. However Inkscape looks for images in /Applications/ Inkscape.app which is the default location where documents are saved on OS X. If I remember well there was a document root attribute that was removed some time ago. I suspect that embbed bitmaps was looking for the images as document root+xlink and since document root is inexistant the default is used. This means that embbed images only works when sodipodi:absref is present, now that document root does not exists. This seems like a bug to me but the problem was complicated so I would prefer having your advice. Did I explained it clearly? Well currently I'll have to rewrite the sodipodi:abserf by hand and it will solve the problem but the solution may be quite hard to find for somebody who does not want to dive in the XML editor.

Decision on live update of extensions
by Bill Baxter 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

What was the decision on the live update of extensions? The original justification was that it would happen in a separate thread so you wouldn't notice, but it is *very* noticeable. At least on Windows with the snapshot builds. The worst part of it theres a DOS console that pops up every time the command gets rerun, and often that steals the focus away from the text field you're trying to type some number into. It's very annoying. --bb

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] Feature question, only current layer visible

Someone just needs to implement Alt+click on a layer in Layer dialog to hide all other layers. That's how it's done in Photoshop so it will be a familiar shortcut for most users. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
