0.45-release-branch problems:
by Tavmjong Bah 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

Hi, Here are some problems I see with an hour old 0.45-release-branch install (Fedora Core 6): 1. Installation fails with error: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `about.bg.svg', needed by `all-am'. Stop. See same problem with trunk. 2. Page format: Banner 468x60 is actually 60.0 x 468.0 px 3. Could not set custom page size (perhaps because of installation problem). 3. Envelope (aka Summer's Night) effect seems broken (also broken in SVN and 0.44). The generated path is not inside the target quadrilateral. I seem to remember that the y-axis was flipped internally at some point... could this have broken it? The effect also generates error messages of the following type: ** (inkscape:20971): WARNING **: Unimplemented style property SP_PROP_ENABLE_BACKGROUND: value: accumulate ** (inkscape:20971): WARNING **: Unimplemented style property SP_PROP_ENABLE_BACKGROUND: value: accumulate ** (inkscape:20971): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG. 4. Perspective effect: The orientation of the output image is rotated 90 degrees from what I would have expected. Take two quadrilaterals with the first nodes in the paths at the upper left. When one quadrilateral is embed in the other, the embed quadrilateral's first node is at the upper right. The new path is also not closed. Perspective effect generates same error messages as Envelope effect. Tav

Patch for 0.45: Tangoified icon
by Josef 'cornelius' Vybíral 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hi fellow developers, there is one "patch" in the tracker[1] I would like to know if it can be included in upcoming 0.45 version. It is tangoified icon by Andreas Nilsson for Inkscape, based on a cleaned version of the official logo. The reworked icon looks really nice imho and it would be good to have it in. It can make Inkscape fit the currently redrawn gnome-icon-theme (and not only this one, but it fits well among other icons on other desktops like MS Windows or MacOS X). Besides the good look, I see another advantage also that it can be more easily recognisable on light as well as on dark backgrounds then the actual one. So, what do you think? Sincerely Josef Vybíral a.k.a. cornelius [1] http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1590179&group_id=9… -- Josef Vybíral a.k.a. cornelius ------------------------------ web: http://cornelius.gimp.cz mail: cornelius@...1135... jabber: cornelius@...1136...

textual problems in trunk
by Arpad Biro 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hi, A few textual problems with "0.44+devel, built Jan 13 2007". possible typo ------------- "Star: Change spike ratio" (I guess it should be "spoke", like in "Spoke ratio:") untranslatable strings ---------------------- "Stroke:" (in fill/stroke widget on toolbar and in prefs) "Fill:" (in fill/stroke widget on toolbar and in prefs) "clipped" (in status bar message) appears in English, even if translated -------------------------------------- "Use the pressure of the input device to alter the width of the pen" "Use the tilt of the input device to alter the angle of the pen's nib" same string, different meaning (should be split) ------------------------------------------------ "Clone" (as selection describer: noun -- in undo history: verb) tooltips don't show up ---------------------- Calligraphy toolbar tooltips are not displayed. questions --------- "Source left bound" -- does this mean "left edge of source"? "Nudge" -- what does it mean? "Make connectors with end-markers (arrows) point downwards" -- what does this function do?

Yeah, I've noticed this too. I've applied your patch to trunk; let's see how it works out. -mental

Thrice-daily Inkscapes
by Daniel Díaz 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hello! I'm happy to announce that the Bleeding-Edge Inkscape Factory is up and running again! Inkscape is being cross-compiled to Windows three-times a day, and the resulting packages are being uploaded to Modevia's Inkscape site (thanks again, Mike!). You can find them here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32-snap/ There are ZIP, 7z, and .exe installers for each successful build. I would like to hear some feedback on whether the ZIP files are useful, since they take 47 MB of disk space each (47*3 = 141 MB daily!). And also I wanted to know if the "à la carte" directory was useful and if it would be worth reinstalling it. Greetings, then! Daniel Díaz yosoy@...31...

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] About Screen for 0.45 - Results
by momo 17 Jan '07

Hello, I have a problem with the about screen. The blurs seem to be clipped and there is nothibng I can do about it. Looks like the blur problem is still persisting on my system (altough it's a clean install of 0.45 pre0). I attach the about screen file, along with another SVG (10.svg) showing the same problems and screenshots of the way these files are rendered on my system. Can anyone not having this blur rendering bug undertake the about screen finition please? - redraw the glare under the sharpest ball so it look normally, not as if it was clipped. If you don't have the same rendering as me, then just try to resave the SVG and send it to me, I'll see if the file saved by another system shows differently on mine... - slightly unblur the sharpest ball so it looks more realistic (now it's set to 3.5%, and needs to be reduced to 1-1,5%. I cannot do it because of bug [ 1617082 ] Blur UI: value quantization, slider behavior] ) Apologizes for the bunch of attachments. Many thanks. Molumen *************************************** files attached: - 10.svg is a test svg created in 0.45 devel+ from 07-01-2007 - screenshot_of_rendering.jpg is a screenshot of 10.svg rendered in 0.45 pre0 - exported from Inkscape045pre0.png is a png exported from the file 10.svg by 0.45 pre0 - inkscapeabout0222.svg is the about screen that has to be finished - about_screen_rendered.jpg is a screenshot showing the way the flare is rendered (as if it was clipped) - About_screen_exported_from_0.45pre0.png is a PNG exported directly from 0.45pre0.
