What steps are necessary to get this going? Any chance we can get this ready to start accepting submissions by this weekend? Bryce

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-user] bbox calculation

I just wish I knew what that solution was. :/ I can change it back, but I don't want to get back all the problems we had with no-stroke bboxes, and I don't really want to introduce a user option which will be hard to explain to the user and a maintenance burden. On the other hand, we now have an even worse option in Options > Tools > Selector > Default scale origin, which is highly obscure and rather buggy. It seems to me that if we add a "bounding box includes stroke" option we'll be able to get rid of that "default scale origin" which is a good thing in itself. It would be still better to find a compromise which would work for everyone and therefore not require an option. Suggestions are welcome. Please also consider that we now have blur, and in at least some cases, it makes perfect sense to include the blur margin in the bbox too. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Runtime checks for SSL
by Aaron Spike 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

One of the problems I've been running up against with the autopackage is ensuring that the users have SSL installed. SSL is required for securing jabber login and whiteboard traffic. The autopackages I am currently generating have SSL linked to inkscape statically. This is a huge security nightmare IMHO and I do not plan to do this for the release packages because I do not plan on undertaking the responsibility of ensuring that we update the packages for any and every SSL vulnerability. I would like to user relaytool to make a runtime check for the presence of libssl and conditionally disable features. I would appreciate assistance with this. http://autopackage.org/apbuild-relaytool.php Aaron Spike

Boolean operations on lines, bug or feature?
by Jasper van de Gronde 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

When I use the difference or intersection operation on an open path (and a rectangle) the path suddenly gets new edges and is closed, see attachment (which also shows my intention). Is this intentional or should I file a bug?

Buildtool : 'console' option
by Johan Engelen 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Thanks alot for making the buildtool! It's pretty nice. However, now I manually changed build.xml:255 into "-lgc -mconsole -lws2_32 -lintl -lm -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32" to create a console version so I can see errors and other messages. Could build.xml be changed such that adding 'console' as commandline option would build a console version of Inkscape? ("buildtool dist console" for example). Or do I have to make a copy-paste of targets link and dist and rename them linkconsole and distconsole such that "buildtool distconsole" would do what I want? Thanks, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Problem with the Latex Formula module
by Stéphane Gimenez 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

Sorry, my first message was meant to be addresed to the list. > >Could you try with the latest svn version of the extension script and > >give us feedback? > > > >http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/share/ex… > > > It is better, I have now a window message :) : > > dvips: ! DVI file can't be opened. […] Yes, it's better! Now I guess you got this message because the formula input you gave to the extension was either not valid LateX, or it became invalid because of a shell expansion which occured when the script was called by the extensions manager (this is a bug). Can you try with a simple "$ \cos(x) $" LaTeX input? To know how your imput will be expanded you can use the following shell command: $ echo -E "$$\cos(x)$$" 8012\cos(x)8012 For example '$$' is expanded to the pid of the processus. As a workarround, try not to use '$' or '$$' but '\(' and '\[' instead to enter math mode. Stéphane. PS: I'll also try to improve error reports when the given input is not valid LaTeX.

Secondary toolbar size?
by Andreas Nilsson 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

Dear Inkscape developers. Myself and some other folks are currently working on some icons for Inkscape [1], but have ran into some issues. Apparently my build (13378 ...the latest one I got to work) wants to use 16x16 images for the icons in both the topmost (although the ones it gets from the desktop theme is 24x24) and the secondary toolbar. The tools toolbar however still use 24x24 images (and that is the correct behavior I suspect). However, other peoples toolbars use the 24x24 size (and so did mine until recently), this leads to the problem that I don't know what size to aim at. If I use 24x24 images for the toolbar, they get blurry on my system, and if I use 16x16 it gets blurry on others. What is the correct size used by these toolbars, and is there some way I can have icons in several sizes? The several sizes issue is even more troublesome, as the icons from the tools toolbar gets all blurry in the undo history dialog among other places [2]. 1.http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/inkscape-icons.tar.gz 2. http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/inkscape-iconsizes.png - Andreas

New C++ find dialog
by Johan Engelen 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Hello all, (this is about the current SVN-trunk version) I've been busy implementing the find dialog as a c++ dialog (ui\dialog\find.cpp). I hope it inspires others to spend some off-time on implementing the other old (non gtkmm) dialogs! It's pretty lame work though. Maybe good work for new people to get started? But very very unexciting I guess. But refactoring is a noble cause! (Mail me if you need help) If you have time to test the find dialog for bugs, please go to src/verbs.cpp:1618 and remove the comment //. I know the UI is not what it should be. When I tried adding the HSeparator as in the old find dialog, Inkscape would crash so I gave up on the issue at the moment. Thanks, Johan
