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). Anyone else interested ? John -------- Original Message -------- Subject: SCALE to host Birds of a Feather Sessions! Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 11:23:00 -0800 From: Gareth J.

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 ?

Missing cairomm when cross-compiling

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

Pango and Inkscape.app on mac os x
by jiho 17 Dec '06

17 Dec '06

Hello, This question is more oriented toward Michael Wybrow or any other developper who helped with the packaging of Inkscape inside an .app bundle on Mac OS X. I am trying to use DarwinPorts rather than Fink to provide Inkscape with its dependencies and everything seems to work except for Pango. What I did to get osx-app.sh working with DarwinPorts was simply to: - change SW=/sw to SW=/opt/local (DarwinPorts install root) - change the version numbers of GTK and Pango (2.4.0 and 1.4.0) to those used in DarwinPorts (2.10.0 and 1.5.0) I checked the app bundle which seems to be OK: all dependecies were correctly pulled out DarwinPorts tree and copied into the bundle. The pango.modules, pangorc and pangox.aliases files are similar to those found in a working bundle produced with Fink, as are the files in .inkscape-etc and all only reflect the version change in Pango. To sum up, everything looks to be similar to what works with Fink. However, when starting Inkscape from inside the app bundle and I get this message: (inkscape-bin:18144): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of: '/opt/local/etc/pango/pango.modules' You should create this file by running pango-querymodules. [... many other Pango-WARNINGs about bad fonts...] and in Inkscape all UI fonts are replaced by rectangles. Before running Inkscape binary a shell script sets PANGO_RC_FILE to "$HOME/.inkscape-etc/pangorc" (and .inkscape-etc/pangorc points to the libs inside the bundle). My understanding is that it makes Pango libraries/modules independent from where they were compiled, and it works with Fink-provided Pango librairies. The reference to /opt/ local/ here makes me think that there is still a link between Pango libs inside the bundle and the place where they were compiled. Was anything else than setting PANGO_RC_FILE necessary to get Fink Pango libs to work from inside Inskcape.app? Any additional knowledge on the bundling process would probably help because I only know what gathered from the code and some Google searches. Thanks in advance. NB: the file '/opt/local/etc/pango/pango.modules' exists and is only root writable, hence the error. But this would be true for its Fink equivalent also and Inkscape.app should not try to write anything in this location anyway. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/

Book update
by Tavmjong Bah 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

Hello, I have uploaded a new version of my book "A Guide to Inkscape" to my web site. Although there is only a small amount of new material, there is one change of note: the html files now use the names of the chapters and/or sections. This will prevent breakage of links to the pages (e.g. from the mailing lists) when new material is added and the chapter or section numbers change. Recent links in the mailing lists should not be broken as I've included copies of the html files at the old addresses. There is also the beginnings of a Dutch translation by Tom Nijns. So far only the introduction is translated. I've set up a Lulu account where PDF versions of the book can be downloaded (both in A4 and Letter size). The downloads will be available for free for the next few days. After that I plan on charging for the PDF version of the book (probably $7.50), the web version will, of course, remain free. Please let me know of any problems with the downloads. Book's website: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/ Lulu website: http://stores.lulu.com/tavmjong Tav

Hardware Technical Questions
by unknown＠example.com 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

Hi, all. I've been a regular Inkscape user since shortly after the fork from sodipodi. I love the program, transitioning from Xara on Windows to Inkscape on Linux has been good, if not always easy. So I'm always excited to get the newest releases of Inkscape with all kinds of great usable features. (Blur is a lifesaver for me - I've been using the nightly builds for a lot of work recently because of that!) I'm interested in helping the project, but I'm limited in what I can do. I'm not a coder, and I'd love to learn but don't have the time at the moment. I'm actually a graphic designer, which is why I use Inkscape heavily. Anyway, one of the ways that I would like to help, at least peripherally, is to write an article about building a Linux graphic workstation that's optimized for 2-d graphic apps, primarily Inkscape and the Gimp. I have been trying to understand the basics of how hardware rendering of graphic data really works in order to get a handle on this myself, but I haven't found anything readily available to tell me this info. That's why I want to write it. I'm wondering if any of you (singular or multiple people) would be interested in helping me understand some basics so that I can write a very useful article. Please contact me if you are interested in helping. Thanks.
