Need some input on bug #1540195 (snapping problem)

While looking into bug #1540195 I ran into some dilemma. This bug occurs when a bounding box is squeezed in between two vertical guides and makes it hard to pull the box out of its squeeze. For more details have a look at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1540195&group_id=9… The original post includes a nice sample file. This is what's going on: 1) Both the 4 points AND the boundingbox (also 4 points) are snapping, as requested in File -> Document Properties. 2) The origin is set to be at the boundingbox edge, as requested in File -> Inkscape preferences -> Tools -> Selector This will not work in the situation described by bwalle. When snapping the boundingbox, the origin must be at the boundingbox. When snapping the nodes, the origin must be at the farthest opposite node. This is what's going wrong: when dragging the edge at the right, both the bounding box and two additional points will be trying to snap to the left guide, even when dragging the right edge far to the right. The left side of the boundingbox is not being transformed, as it's exactly at the origin. The two additional points though are slightly off the origin, and will be transforming almost invisibly. These are causing the troubles. It's difficult to describe exactly what's going on, the best thing to do is to just try it. This is what we could do: 1) calculate the origin ourselves, instead of obeying the preferences. Should this option even be removed from the preferences? Why is this option available to the user at all? 2) filter the snap points in the snapmanager, to only snap the points or boundingbox edges that are being moved. Points close to the origin could simply be discarded. 3) When dragging the boundingbox, we could feed the snapmanager only the points at the edge being dragged. But this doesn't handle the snapping of a complex object consisting of many points 4) ? Does anyone have any suggestions or pointers? Regards, Diederik van Lierop

We did *not* move the SSH host keys. All we moved were the authorized_keys files from your respective homedirs. Fingerprints for the public keys at paphos.modevia.com are as follows: SSH2/DSA 78:4f:fe:b8:9e:60:77:59:da:dc:4b:26:36:ea:23:f5 SSH2/RSA cc:48:d6:87:80:28:1c:a7:17:ef:60:42:21:dd:97:d2 So yes, I can confirm that that is the correct key.

inkscape.modevia.com to move
by Aaron Spike 13 Mar '07

Inkscape.modevia.com will soon move to a new server. It is moving from corinth.modevia.com to paphos.modevia.com. If you've been connecting using inkscape.modevia.com as the server name you shouldn't notice a change. I believe the move will take place during the night on March 12 EDT. Aaron Spike

Crash

Hello, remembered of me! I'm a student graduating in Computer science Engineering and I'm leading a thesis on the Vectorial Diagrams Animated in Inkscape. I had successful to insert of inkscape a "parallel" Thread to the main program, that it reads of the regarding data the characteristics of an object and then assigns them to the object by means of the endured function sp_repr_set_attr(nodes[i],style.c_str(),attrib.c_str()); nodes[i] -> it is a carrier of gunlayers "Node" (std::vector<Inkscape::XML::Node *> nodes;) style & attrib -> are strings. But after this call, the program crasha and it is closed without some message. By means of the debuggher they are successful to understand that there is an error of Segmentation Fault: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- [Switching to thread 3236.0x6a8] GC_clear_stack_inner (arg=0x47429a0 "", limit=2284336) at misc.c:293 293 misc.c: No such file or directory. in misc.c Current language: auto; currently c You can help me to resolve this problem being given to me some council to follow?

website

Hi, While working on translation of inkscape.org into RU, I noticed several things I'd be pleased to have feedback on. 1. Documentation page. 1.1. It has a "Translations" section which is not quite related to docs. Should we introduce a separate "Translations" or "i18n" page with information on status of supported languages and basic info for new translators? 1.2. Publications (Overviews). Those brochures are nice, but _very_outdated (0.39). Could we "hire" some artist to give them a new life? 1.3. Example SVG Files. This is not related to docs as well. Maybe we should introduce a basic PR page for SVG? 2. Showcase page. Very outdated. Latest entry dates back to 2005. Don't we have something newer to show people? ;-) 3. Status page. Latest Project Status: 15, November 2005. That speaks for itself. Any comments? Alexandre

website - screenshot thumbnails

I seem to recall bbyak asking (about a month or two back) about the random screenshot thumbnails that used to be on the homepage. I'm checking to see if there are plans to add it back in or what. It really does add quite a bit to have those on the homepage. Just following up... -Josh

DRAW is the base of Corel Technical Designer, so I have to assume (possibly incorrectly) that what you are talking about is possible. I can't quite picture what you mean exactly though, so maybe if you can attach a quick sketch I can see what you mean? Gail

Hi all, Just FYI, I'm sending in the mentor application today, and will be listing our ideas page in it: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Googles_Summer_Of_Code_2007 If you have any thoughts about GSoC projects, now would be a *great* time to review and add to that page. Students will be looking over it soon. Bryce
