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

Everyone who wants an account has to ask for it via email to one of the SysOps or to the mailing list. We haven't had a single issue with spam since then. Maybe you could consider something similar for your interesting Wiki.

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

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. Aaron Spike

Consulta
by emilioroberto 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

¡Hola! En la página oficial en castellano dice que hay que dirigirse a aquí para hacer consulta. Espero que tengan soporte en castellano. El tema es que bajé Inkscape en su versión Autopackage. Lo instalo sin ningún problema, pero cuando me voy al menú Efectos>Extrusado me pide la librería PYXML. Me dice donde bajarla y la bajo; pero ésta viene en código fuente y hay que compilarla. Yo no sé cómo se hace. ¿Hay solución para esto? Gracias. Emilio.

Hola Emilio, en primer lugar te sugiero que le eches un vistazo (y que te suscribas) a la lista de usuarios en español: inkscape-user-es@...460... Allí te atenderán mucho mejor. En cuanto al problema que te ocupa, quizás puedas encontrar el paquete correspondiente a pyxml para tu distribución (cosa que deberías mencionar cuando pides este tipo de ayuda). Si no resuelves por ahí, vuelve a preguntar, pero indicando más datos: versión de inkscape, sistema operativo (distribución), entorno de ventanas (Gnome, KDE, etc.) y algún otro dato que pueda se de interés.

Where is code for the inkscape prefs dialog?
by Bill Baxter 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

I've grepped through the sources trying to find where the "Save window geometry" entry in the preferences dialog comes from but I'm coming up with nothing. Where is the code for the prefs dialog? Other than that and a little tweaking, I've pretty much got my patch for remembering window sizes and state (maximized/fullscreen) working. I just need to add the preference to the prefs dialog. --bb

pdf - blur/filter support ?
by Adib Taraben 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Hello, I wonder whether pdf has the ability to output blur/filter natively. I do a lot now with blur like shadows but the exported pdf is not the same. I already downloaded the pdf reference but there might be to much pages so I did not found the reference. I am looking for something that corresponds to svg filters. Could someone point me to the right direction ? Thx, Adib. ---
