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. ---

Startup preferences
by Bill Baxter 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Any hints as to which files I should look at for adding the ability to save Inkscape's window position between runs? -------------------------- Proposal: The basic idea would be to add another preference under Windows which is "Restore last window geometry" right before "Save window geometry" The the logic would be to try saved geometry in the doc first, then use the user preference. onStartup: if (startupDoc && startupDoc.hasSavedWindowLayout) { setWindowGeometryFromStartupDoc(startupDoc); } else if (userPrefs.restoreLastWindowGeometry && userPrefs.hasStoredWindowGeometry) { setWindowGeometryFromUserPrefs(userPrefs); } onShutdown: saveLastWindowGeometryToUserPrefs(getCurrentWindowGeometry) This would also save/restore the maximized state as is common for MS Windows apps. --------- Actually my preference would be to reverse the order and always use the userPrefs first if restoreLastWindowGeometry is set, but I'm thinking the other way around would be more politically acceptable with current developers. And I don't think the difference is worth making yet another preference. Suggestions appreciated. This one just really frustrates me. I started looking over the startup code today but didn't immediately find where prefs or window geometry are handled. --bb

Higher Precision
by Tony Vigil 08 Jun '07

08 Jun '07

I'm curious... why is the precision for grids, guides and tiled clones only 0.00 while you can readily place objects with a precision of 0.000? Is there any special reason for the lower precision? I have already posted this as a request for higher precision and as a bug for inconsistency. And while I'm thinking about it... how about the same level of precision for angles of rotation?
