New template and palette committed but not installed
by jiho 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

hello all, I committed a new template and a new color palette (for use with the Beamer LaTeX package, to produce screen presentations). I just added the files to share/templates and share/palettes (around rev 15000) in svn but I discovered today that, though the files are in a source checkout, they are not installed and therefore not distributed. Is there an extra step to have them installed by "make install"? (I thought that everything in those directories was just copied). Thank you in advance for your help.

Fill and stroke properties incompatibility between devel and release versions
by jiho 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hello everyone, Certain drawings I produce with a recent development version of Inkscape display with stroke and fill attributes as unset in the release version (0.45.1). It is not really a show stopper because it is quite easy to make people install a devel version of Inkscape but it does not help collaboration ("Hey, the image you just sent me is all black!"). I cannot reproduce this on new drawings currently (with devel version 070603200 vs. 0.45.1 on windows) but this file: http://cbetm.univ-perp.fr/repos/distribution_data/tetiaroa/trunk/sampling/s… shows the behavior (NB: you probably have to "save as" and add the svg extension manually on this link. I don't know why but the apache subversion interface insists on treating the file as text). I am the only one seeing this? I won't be able to do some more tests before a while (the logic board of my laptop fried....grrrr) but I thought I would report this before I forget about it. Cheers, JiHO

I might be in the area around then, otherwise, if you all are providing travel sponsorship, then, I'm sure there is an inkscape developer that can make it to present and get in depth. I believe Ted wants to go to Japan to present...Andy might be able to go to... I need to go there and tend to some cc business, so that might fit my timeline as well...

Re: [Inkscape-devel] pdf - blur/filter support ?
by Adib Taraben 13 Jun '07

I feared that someone would say this. Probably we have to fall-back into a kind of rasterizer in order to realize those features. Same scary story to alpha/transparency on PS output. Uh ..., Adib.

I think it's a good idea, so long as there are volunteers to handle approving account requests. One thought I've had is if it can be configured to work with LDAP, we could try to shift the project to being more LDAP-based. I have zero LDAP experience, and haven't made any progress on setting this up on inkscape.org, but that's sort of the direction I've wanted to go. Especially since we've also talked about setting up additional software like a forum, translation tool, bug tool, etc. Having to force people to have 7+ separate logins for all these inkscape tools would be annoying at best for both user and admin, so if most could be set up to use LDAP, then it'd save a lot of time all around.

I've been working with Christoph on this matter and I asked him to propose this idea on the mailing lists. We've made a few changes without asking. We've upgraded the wiki to version 1.10.

Corel Draw CDR importer
by Tobias Jakobs 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi, I've just found the sK1 Projekt: http://sk1.sourceforge.net/ It's an Skencil (aka Sketch) fork with an Corel Draw CDR file importer. I haven't tested it but it may be a nice way to convert Corel Draw files to SVG. Perhaps even someone may be interested in porting the code to Inkscape or to a lib that can be used in both programs. Maybe this is something that Scribus can use too. Regards, Tobias

Strange glitch (or feature?) in an Inkscape file
by Michael Grosberg 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hey all, I just experienced a moment of slight panic - I had a file full of icons (35 to be exact) which I wanted to batch export to separate PNG files. I use a layer below my icons, with transparent rectangles. They are all named appropriately. This is something I do a lot, but on this specific file, batch exporting always resulted in a single file. After much experimentation, I finally decided to take a look at the XML code, and found that every rectangle had this parameter: inkscape:export-filename="C:\2D_Art\icons\AAA.png" (AAA.png is also the name of one of the rectangles/icons in the file) The parameter was identical in all rectangles, and this somehow caused all the rectangles to be exported to the same filename and overwrite each other. A quick search and replace removed it and I was able to export as usual, so problem solved. Still, I'm curious to know what caused it. Where did this parameter come from? Is this something left over from an old version of Inkscape? It was a rather old file, untouched for almost a year. Michael
