Symbolic icons
by Jabier Arraiza 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Hi all, the branch to allow put symbolic icons trought inkscape preferences is merged on trunk. We have currently 2 iconset "hicolor" and "Tango" also "hicolor" has a symbolic icon set inside. This symbolic icons are cool but some people dislike use symolic icons so my question is: ¿Anyone is interested in make a new theme recoloring the symbolic icon set? Maybe can be a multi, duo or tri tone recolor. Please recolor it in text editor with a inkscape instance to check the style properties fit you color. Also we can do 2 sets one focus in dark theme and other in clear one. I think we can use a external defs svg file to handle the colors, so it can be forked editing one file. We can also make a system wide same theme from "hicolor system icons"

First contribution - looking to improve eps -> svg conversion ( or eps import ) - kickstart needed
by Andrea Bogazzi 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

Hi Everyone, I was looking into eps -> svg conversion and inkscape does an almost perfect job if it wasn't that it trash layers information and group information. I started to dig into the code to figure out if it was something i could look into and try to improve, i found so far this folder that seems to handle the relevant code: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/tree/master/src/extension/internal/pdf… Is there anyone able to give me a quick input to know if that is the correct code to look at, or if not point me to the right code files? Also does anyone have information of why this feature is currently not supported, if is a matter of use case missing, if just no one built it or if is more about some technical problem that has been already discussed and discarded? To be honest i remember in the past opening some pdf with inkscapes and having multiple ungrouping operations to do before hitting the single objects, but as of now, if i create an eps with illustrators with group or layers and then i import it in inkscape, i get a flat list of objects. So maybe i just remember wrong. I m not by any mean a c++ expert, i have svg and pdf knowledge and some c++ coding, but since i need this feature i would like at least to give it a shot. Andrea

New developer member
by Mare Soria 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hi everyone! After a few years using Inkscape I finally decided to get involved with their development. I think that Inkscape it's the best alternative to Adobe Illustrator, but I feel like is needed a big upgrade, fundamentally on their interface that looks like very old and caotic. Unfortunately, I'm a web developer, so I don't know how to code in C++ but I can develop the UI/UX design. Is there someone hightly motivated to develop with me a nice update for 2019? Marién
