Poppler on win32
by Bob Jamison 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

John Cliff helped me get his build of Poppler in win32 into the library bundle. http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/gtk210-070715.7z I tweaked init.cpp and build.xml to use it. The latest build today should have it. Builds after 070715: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32 It is building right now, so I don't know the time yet. It looks like it does definitely import simple PDF's. From what I've seen, it imports curves (to be expected :) but no images or fonts yet. Good start. bob

I just did it. * A new effect, Replace color in the Color submenu, simply replaces one RRGGBB-specified color to another within selection or, if there's no selection, in the entire document. As with other effects in that submenu, the replacement affects fill, stroke, and gradient colors, but not colors of bitmaps. > 2. can either systematiccally cycle/iterate through the specified > colors, or assing them randomly, creating a series of output SVG files, > all with different color-schemes. Anyone can easily do this using the same extension base class, patches are welcome :) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

OK, I figured this out. By default poppler does not install all the headers. To force 0.59 to install its headers over the old ones, configure it thus: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xpdf-headers On 7/12/07, Miklós Erdélyi <erdelyim@...400...> wrote: > On 7/12/07, bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...> wrote: > > It does not compile for me.

3d buttons with Inkscape
by Florian Köberle 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

The filter inkscape developers have done nice work. With the current SVN version it is possible to make a shape looking like a button (see attachments). I noticed several things by testing it: - Adding a feOffset let Inkscape crash - There is no GUI, for setting the attribute in2 of feComposite to SourceGraphic if you don't count the XML editor. - The Grahpic looks similar but not equal on Firefox 3.0a6. The Graphic produced by Inkscape graphic is darker. The question is: Is it a bug in Firefox or Inkscape? Opera 9.20 display the Grahpic without the filter effect.

Hi, Am I the only one to experience rendering regression when using screen blend mode in one object over gaussian blur in another? http://prokoudine.info/shots/inkscape/046-blend-screen-regression.png Alexandre

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
