Blur Radius Scales
by Daniel Pope 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi, last weekend I took a moment to download an SVN build and posted a few observations to the tracker. One particular wishlist item which I suggested was tweaking the blur scale from linear to quadratic, which in my experimentation seemed to give me a much more even control over how much blur to apply, because I was finding the current scale, and certainly the slider, useless for the subtle effects. I've found as I've used Inkscape more over the course of the week that generally the upper 70% of the scale is useless for my purposes. I've uploaded a comparison of the current and my proposed blur scales[1] to the tracker and would like to request comments. Merry Xmas/whatever else you are celebrating, Dan [1] http://sf.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=93438&atid=604309&file_id=20833…

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Would it be possible to add support for opacity greater than 100%
by Kevin Baragona 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

It would be a straight multiplier to the alpha of the pixels, just like how (i think) it is now except you could also make something 'more' opaque than normal. This would be useful for say blurred objects that became too transparent. I am pretty sure this would invalidate the css according to w3c but isn't that why there is inkscape-svg and plain-svg? When saving to plain-svg a file with something like 250% opacity, it could be layered like 2 100% objects and a 50% object which I believe would then be ok. Thanks, Kevin

Layers Opacity %?
by John Bintz 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

I noticed that, while all of the other 0..1 ranges have been changed to 0..100%, the Layers Dialog opacity has not. I have the code to make this change almost ready, but I wanted to ask two things before I committed anything: 1. Since it's close to a release, should I hold off on this change? 2. The Fill & Stroke dialog for Opacity and Blur places the percent signs outside of the SpinButtons, in the labels. Should the Layer Opacity be the same (the label now becoming "Opacity %:") or should it be like the Zoom control (% in the SpinButton itself)? Thanks, John

I don't think many of us were able to submit a paper/full presentation but how about an Inkscape BOF? It would be cool to have a few of us give 15 min demos of how we're using some Inkscape features in our line of work - I'll volunteer to show off how I'm using it with GIS (nodes, layers, potrace).

Maybe someone could show off the gradient, filters stuff. btw, Happy Holidays to all

Hello, the german computer mag "ct" wants to bundle inkscape again on one of their add CD. So the question is: Is there a chance to get the release out until January 12th ? I think the answer is NO but want to make shure and wait for your answer.

Feature request
by Vladimir Savic 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Because of some, to me unknown reason, sourceforge wont let me log in. So, I'm going to post this to the list directly and ask someone to fill regular report in my name. If the idea is worth enough, of course. What I really need is one more information in secondary toolbar of selection tool. It's rotation angle. I know it's available through Transform dialog, but it's incapable of noticing any changes happening on using second click and rotating object(on-canvas editing). I see Transform dialog as a perfect tool for a technical drawings but not for casual illustrative jobs. Right now, if I accidentally rotate an object (line for example) it's practically impossible to bring it back into original position. Of course, I'm aware of Undo, but that's not really a solution. Thanks for your attention, Vlada

Require GTK 2.8+ for Inkscape 0.45
by Aaron Spike 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

If you think back to our last release a decision was made to hold back on inflating our GTK requirements until the 0.45 release. 0.45 time has come and we will now officially be requiring GTK 2.8+. Is this correct? If I am not mistaken GTK 2.8 requires Cairo. This is good for us. I've been researching creating runtime checks for cairo's availability. If we agree on GTK 2.8, I won't have to worry about that. We may, however, want to consider runtime checks for the PDF backend. I've been looking into relaytool as a method for doing this on linux. http://autopackage.org/apbuild-relaytool.php I would appreciate assistance investigating this. Aaron Spike
