Autosave for inkscape
by Aditya Sher 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

I was wondering whether inkscape has autosave, of not I would be willing to work on it, (under a mentor) in upcoming winter break, since I feel autosave is a highly useful feature for vector editors, because we tend to forget to his ctrl+s so often :(

As easy way to use development (or 1.0 preview) in Ubuntu 18.10
by anatoly techtonik 29 Nov '18

29 Nov '18

Hi again. https://inkscape.org/release/master/platforms/ doesn't mention upcoming 1.0 at all, and I don't see there an easy way to use development builds in Ubuntu 18.10. Like PPA or better snap. ✗ sudo snap info inkscape ... snap-id: tIrcA87dMWthuDORCCRU0VpidK5SBVOc channels: stable: 0.92.3 (4274) 177MB - candidate: 0.92.3 (4349) 180MB - beta: ↑ edge: 0.92+devel (4265) 192MB - For this snap I'd expect the serial number for edge to be higher than stable, and that means the snap is not updated. So is there any other recommended (which means user friendly in this context) to check latest development versions of Inkscape to give a quick feedback? -- anatoly t.

clang-format vs custom indentation
by anatoly techtonik 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Hello. clang-format fails my one line patch and proposes to remove the indentation that was before my change. My opinion that the code will become less readable that it is now. How to deal with that? --- src/ui/dialog/aboutbox.cpp (before formatting) +++ src/ui/dialog/aboutbox.cpp (after formatting) @@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ set_website ( "https://www.inkscape.org"); set_website_label (_("Inkscape website")); set_license_type (Gtk::LICENSE_GPL_3_0); - set_copyright (_("© 2019 Inkscape Developers")); + set_copyright(_("© 2019 Inkscape Developers")); set_comments (_("Open Source Scalable Vector Graphics Editor\n" "Draw Freely.")); https://gitlab.com/techtonik/inkscape/-/jobs/125913035 -- anatoly t.

Website Update: Menus
by unknown＠example.com 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Dear Inkscape Devels, The Inkscape website has had a menus problem every since we upgraded. It would show French, German and any random menu to English visitors at random times. The django-cms menus app has always been very slow, way, way over- engineered and just not very good for websites with more than two languages. Thanks to Jabier, we've replaced it with a simple but more manual menu system. The new menu is disconnected from the CMS, so if you edit a cms page, add news ones or delete pages, you must now also edit the menus in each language to account for this. This manual editing is a disadvantage, but there are advantages too. Firstly, we can have different menus for different languages (if we want to say link to a different community forum for Japanese). We can also remove a lot of hacky blank places from our CMS that stood in for regular django pages, making that part of menu management more direct. Finally it's faster. Way faster. 2200ms first hit, 700ms cached vs 940ms first-hit and 512ms cached. Also it serves up the right language menu, which is quite a useful perk. If there's any issues either in the rendering or editing (which is quite crude, I admit) please let me know via an issue on inkscape-web. Thanks again to Jabier for the code and the idea to fix this issue with a bit of DIY. Best Regards, Martin Owens Website Administrator

Inkscape + Embarcadero C++ Builder Community Edition?
by Victor Westmann 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Hi Everyone, I hope all is well with you. I was just wondering if any of you know if Inkscape 0.92.3 is able to be compiled, on Windows platform, using the Embarcadero C++ Builder Community Edition? https://www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder/starter https://www.embarcadero.com/docs/rad-studio-feature-matrix.pdf It seems it is a free (but closed) tool to compile Inkscape. Haven't tested it yet but it seems it could be interesting for us to have yet another tool to compile Inkscape on Windows. Just wondering if anyone did this test yet... and if the dependencies were able to be resolved successfully. Thanks, --Victor Westmann

Rewriting inkview in Python
by anatoly techtonik 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

Hi. It is not that I have a lot of time to do that, but I though that being able to use Inkscape as a library from Python could be an awesome feature to play with. Then one day somebody can come up with alternative SVG viewer. There are problems with current `inkview` from 0.92.3: - it lacks command line help - it doesn't respond to --version - if doesn't render attached file - there is no scaling option - there is no debug option for troubleshooting my content The attached file is rendered correctly in Inkscape, although initial view is too small. -- anatoly t.
