NEW: RadioButtons for extensions (.INX)
by Johan Engelen 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

I've added radiobuttons to the parameter types for extensions :) They are called: 'optiongroup'; English is not my native tongue which makes it often difficult to come up with a label..., please rename if desired. A developer example is available as a placeholder until a real extension uses it. Regards, Johan

Yes, I think such a checkbox would be a good idea. Can you please do it, and then we can retire the Wavy. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

The "function plotter" is meant to be a more general plotter than "wavy". "wavy" let's you specify the x-range in multiples of pi, which is very convenient for plotting periodic functions. "function plotter" does not let you do this which can be annoying. I'd like to keep them separate, but we can also merge them by adding for example a checkbox to "function plotter" to multiply the x-range by 2pi. Another option is to use the read-out possibility of the notebook parameter: "wavy" could be added as a tab and the extension can determine which tab was selected when processing... (definately not clear to users and this has not my preference)

I don't see how your code fits that explanation, in particular the icons example. There may be much more groups in an icons file (examine our own icons.svg for example), not only the top-level groups corresponding to icons. Icons may contain some inner groups, which will get exported too. On the other hand, some simple icons may be represented by a single shape, not a group. And finally, I may want to export not ALL icons in the file but only some of them (more than one but not all). Your code can't do this either. > i don't understand what your proposal have > different from the export to bitmap dialog (option "selection" checked) It is different in that it exports each selected object SEPARATELY, creating as many PNG files as you have objects selected. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Compile error with FreeType >= 2.2.0 (caused by ps export type 1 patch)
by Gustav Broberg 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

I'm having problems compiling since revision 13379 which applied the (rather old) patch 1219308 [1] for embedding Type 1 fonts into exported PostScript files. The reason for the problems is that the patch relies on internal FreeType headers which are no longer exposed as of version 2.2.0, see [2] for details. Unless the patch can be rewritten any time soon, I think it needs to be rolled back -- FreeType 2.2.* is pretty common, Ubuntu 6.10 uses 2.2.1 for instance. A bug is filed here... http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1600900&group_id=9… Thanks! 1.http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1219308&group_id… 2.http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/freetype-2.2.0.html -- Gustav Broberg

win32 build tool
by Adib Taraben 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hello Bob Jamison, I think your build tool is much faster than make ... there is a problem with the l10n: Build should create for all po/*.mo files a directory in inkscape/local/ with the name of the file (without extension) and copy the file to that location. Is that possible ? Thx, Adib.

Two function plotters?
by bulia byak 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

I notice that we have two extensions to do function plotting: old "wavy" and new "function plotter". Johan, since you added the latter, please clean this up by removing one of them (make sure no functionality is lost!). -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Help Wanted: Testing Autopackages
by Aaron Spike 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

The quality of the Autopackage builds could be greatly increased with more consistent testing. There is a need for volunteers running various distros (Slackware, Suse, Mandrake, Fedora, Debian) and various versions of these distros to work with the autopackager to ensure compatibility throughout the release cycle. This work involves regular downloading and installing of inkscape autopackages (about 10MB), submitting detailed bug reports to the autopackager and testing fixes as they are prepared. Snapshot builds for testing live at: http://inkscape.modevia.com/ap/?C=M;O=D Thanks, Aaron Spike

[Fwd: [Scale-announce] SCALE Call For Papers closes Monday!]
by Ted Gould 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

So, I think we're going to have a booth at SCALE this year. Josh has volunteered to take a leadership role in that -- so I'm going to play SCALE cheerleader. Which means, SUBMIT ABSTRACTS! :) It's February, and unlikely that the weather is better where you are than it is going to be in LA. Southwest flies to LAX so it means you can probably get a cheap flight. You can walk to the hotel from LAX[1]. The conference is on the weekend. I think it would be very cool to have a set of Inkscape presentations. Forward this to your GIMP/Blender/Scribus friends, perhaps we can get a Linux Graphics track :) SCALE is a cool conference, small and laid back. Still a volunteer run thing, so the registration fee isn't crazy. But, every year the speakers have gotten better, and the overall quality has gone up. I don't expect this year to be different. --Ted [1] - Not that I would recommend this. The traffic around LAX is awful, so unless you're invincible to cars, take the hotel shuttle. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: scale-announce@...1566... Reply-To: nobody@...1566...

Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 14:18:31 -0800 If you're considering making a presentation at the 5th annual So Cal Linux Expo, be advised that the window to submit your CFP closes Monday, November 20th. Get your proposal in now! In the same vein, SCALE is sponsoring a one-day Open Source Health Care Summit on Friday, February 9th, just prior to the Expo. If you use Open Source software in the health care arena, here's your chance to talk about it. The CFP for the Summit closes December 29th.
