I will definitely need coaching, I looked at gradient-vector.ccp and I don't get it. Can someone point me to the part of the code responsible for the layer preview right at the top of the Gradient Editor dialog? I will also try the Inkscape IRC channel in order to get "live" coaching, I hope you don't mind :-) Thanks, Stathis

Layers Dialog Mockup.
by ryan lerch 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

The other day, i decided to lock an object using the "lock" checkbox in the properties dialog box, and when i wanted to edit this object again, the only way i could find to unlock it was to edit the XML using the XML editor. This got me thinking, how could an easier way be implented? microUgly and i were throwing around some ideas at http://inkscapeforum.com/ and we thought, why not be able to change these properties of objects in the layers dialog box? anyhoo, the moral to my rambilings is that i did a simple mockup of how this may work: please tell me what you think... mockup: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/images/Layersmockup.png cheers, ryanlerch

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.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] Preventing spam on the Wiki
by Bryce Harrington 13 Jun '07

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. A few weeks back I enabled email for password reminders at mental's request. And now I have set the wiki to only allow edits by users who have configured and confirmed a email address. I hope we don't have to resort to manual account creation, because it is work for someone to do, and because wiki edits are usually rather spontaneous (asking for an account could take hours if not days). But if that is the only method available to put an end to the spam that is causing our wiki editors a large amount of wasted time, then we will have to do so.
