cancelling an extension won't work
by Alexandre Prokoudine 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

Hi, When you call a dialog of the last used extension, change or don't change settings and click "Cancel", extension still runs and produces output. Reproducible at least with Spirograph, Gear, L-Systems, Graph Plotter. By the way, do we want to bind some keyboard shortcut to "Previous Effect Settings..."? Alexandre

(I meant "bump" as in "bump up this post in case it was forgotten" :) ). How much work do you think it'll be to make poppler buildable on windows? Bulia's mail about the import success make me very curious! Cheers, Johan

Yes. So the input dialog appearing when opening a PDF document should have the options for selecting whether you want text as path or as text (with embedded fonts/without them) and the possibility to select the page you want to import (with preview). This dialog will be present as soon as it will make sense :) (ie., when we'll have these options actually implemented) miklos

unset stroke, clone and stroke width
by jiho 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hello all, I remarked a behavior that I find counter intuitive when dealing with clones. It also seems to me like it is just a bug in Inkscape's UI and that the underlying SVG rendering is correct. When cloning an object, the properties of the clones (color, opacity etc.) can be edited only if they are "unset" in the original object. Therefore, I expect that when I unset stroke on the original object I should be able to edit all aspects of the stroke of its clone(s). While this is true for color, this is not true for stroke width, line cap style, opacity and all other properties. However if I manually edit the original objects properties and remove its stroke width, line cap, opacity etc. attributes, it is possible to change them in the clone and Inkscape displays it fine (apart from markers that are not retained). I have done a file in which the behavior is showed for all attributes I could think of: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/inkscape/test_unset_stroke.svg So I think that when unsetting stroke, all stroke attributes should be removed, not only color. Would this be conceivable? PS: in addition, while unsetting fill makes it appear black, unsetting stroke makes it disappear. Is it intended? JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

PDF import extension

Unfortunately the newest version and 0.5.4 aren't compatible on the API level, eg. they have the Parser class with different constructors defined. That's why we need the newest one and cannot support older versions. > As for the cairo-based import, is there something special to do to > get it?

The cairo-based import also needs libpoppler and in addition to that the libpoppler-glib and the cairo-svg packages. miklos

Exporting svg into png.
by Tomasz Kobiela 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hi. Maybe it isn't bug or it is allready solved but I have problem when exporting svg into png. When I export my logo or any artwork with blur effect it cut it. For example i made circle with blured border (or stroke) and I export it to png but after export i see cuted blur to non blured stroke. I need to make four aditional shapes arrange them so my circle is in the center, export them and then cut my circle in gimp. I would like to see in next release a support for exporting blured shapes without cuting them.

Well, then, unless someone complaints, I think I'll make the cairo-based one the default _for now_. When your native one with gradient support matures, we'll switch it back. For text however, as I said before, it would be nice to have both options and to be able to choose when importing. Sometimes it is more important to have text as text; sometimes it is more important to have it look right. Realistically, Inkscape won't have support for embedded SVG fonts any time soon, and this means these two goals will remain mutually exclusive until then. So, can you implement such an option? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Changes in building
by Gail Banaszkiewicz 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Just wondering if there have been any recent changes in the way Inkscape is built, particularly in Windows. For some odd reason, Eclipse CDT suddenly thinks that Inkscape.exe is not a recognized executable when it comes to debugging. It was fine for many weeks before this one. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks! Gail

Since everyone else seems to be having success with the PDF import, and since poppler is a C++ library, it seems possible that the heap corruption is the result of a C++ ABI mismatch between the build of poppler you have installed and the version of g++ you are compiling Inkscape with. Could you try installing a recompiled poppler and see if that makes a difference? -mental
