Hi everyone, I posted a reply about the 3D tools idea a while back with some screenshots. I think the message had to go through the moderator because the two images were slightly higher than the max. Since then, I have not received any messages from the mailing list. My question is has something gone wrong for me? Or has activity been low? I have not even seen my own message make its way back to me. I also couldn't see the archives off the web page. If you reply, please reply to me directly as well as the list just in case something is messed up. Thanks so much! Gail

Hi List, I was reading about, that the export to LaTeX/pstricks of inkscape doen's work very well. I also tried to export some small pic with an up2date svn version of inkscape, but my LaTeX-file failed to compile wtih the same problems. Are there any patches inside the queue to fix the problem?

Cairo-1.4.0
by Bob Jamison 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hi, Everyone, I noticed that cworth uploaded the cairo-1.4.0 release yesterday. So I made a mingw build of it here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/cairo-1.4.0-mingw.7z ..and I made an Inkscape build with it here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape0703071310.7z Also, I added it to the lib bundle and uploaded that one also: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/gtk210-070307.7z Cairo is the -only- difference this time, so this is not worth a download for that alone. If you already have the latest bundle, just get Cairo. This is for people who might be downloading the bundle for the first time. Enjoy. bob

Nice to find that, but i just wonder why a multipage would only be export in separate EPS files and not also in PDF why would allow to do nice Presentations wih Inskcape. pygmee

Selector's scale handle modifiers
by bulia byak 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

Currently, when you scale an object by its scale handles in Selector, you can use the following modifiers: Ctrl+mouse drag scale preserving aspect ratio Shift+mouse drag symmetric transformation (around center) Alt+mouse drag slow movement The "slow movement" mode with Alt simply scales the object by 1/10 of your mouse movement, the goal being increased precision. This mode is inherited unchanged all the way from Sodipodi. In my opinion, however, it is weird, counterintuitive and not at all useful. It also has no analogs in other tools. So my question is, will anyone complain if I remove the "slow movement" mode? On the other hand, one useful thing that's missing is the ability to scale the object to 2, 3, 4 and 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 etc of its current size. (This is possible from keyboard by Ctrl+> and Ctrl+< but not by mouse). So I'm thinking about enabling the Alt modifier to do this "quantized scaling". Among other things, this would enable the often needed transformation: flipping an object around one of its bbox edges (by Ctrl+Alt+dragging a side handle). Thoughts? -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Ah, and here I thought it was 2007 or something. Silly me. I would really like to see cooperating programs define workflows that automatically update when the source data changes rather than the export, import, redefine dance. In the short term, simple 3D operations in inkscape will work, but I think it wants to be a 2D tool. --Eric -- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Mentors for Inkscape GSoC?
by Bryce Harrington 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Hi all, The application is in, and once we're accepted, we will need to identify mentors. Would you like to be included in this list? If so, please drop me an email! I would especially like to encourage new developers and students from past years to consider becoming mentors. It's a great experience and a fun way to help see your ideas for improving Inkscape take shape. All you need is adequate knowledge of the inkscape codebase, and time to answer questions. Interested? Shoot me an email. Bryce

PyXML dependency problem
by Bob Jamison 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Hi all, I was doing my periodic shopping for updates to the various libs that we use for Inskcape/win32, when I saw this disturbing page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6473 We are already using an older version of Python because of this. Is there another python XML parser that we can use? bob

Summer of Code
by Gail Banaszkiewicz 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi all! I was chatting with Bulia Byak (I believe - please correct me if I'm wrong) on your IRC channel yesterday about Google's Summer of Code. I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone and say that Inkscape is definitely a project I'm really excited about having the chance to work on. More on that in a bit. In the near future, I hope to write the list again with some ideas on possible projects for SoC. So, a bit about me. My name is Gail and I'm a student at Carleton University. This is my last semester of computer science, after which I will be pursuing a masters of computer science in September. My area of interest is computer vision / graphics / computational geometry. This originally stemmed from the fact that, growing up, I have been really into graphic design in a hobby kind of way. My favorite software has been CorelDRAW, and I even got to work at Corel for some of my co-op terms. I worked on the text engine for DRAW X3, so I imagine it will be a good idea to propose projects outside that area to avoid that nasty IP issue ;) The software is quite large, so there are many areas that I never even touched upon. And so you can see why Inkscape is an exciting project for me. I haven't used it much in the past, but was able to recently pick it up quickly thanks to my experience with vector graphics. It looks like the software has an awesome base already, and lots of potential for new and innovative tools. I like your culture of enforcing high usability that was implied during my IRC chat. To me this is a very important aspect that is often given too little weight. That's it for now... If anyone wants to know more about me, please feel free to ask, and if anyone has any big requests for projects this year, I don't mind working with that! And like I said, I intend to play around some more with the program and come up with some new ideas as well. Until then, Gail
