I had contact to one guy who had to convert his graphics with some crappy propritary software which is protected by a dongle. He used the software just to convert the files for a cutting-plotter. He asked me, if he can do that with inkscape in the future. Such people like it easy and would gladly pay real bucks, so that they can ditch their old software. Would you like to draw a picture with inkscape, shut down the computer, change the dongle on the printer-port, start the computer again, convert your files and plot them? Every day ? If inkscape-coders like to earn some money, they should write something in the wiki or on the homepage, that they were availebal for such activities. greetings Stefan

Fwd: [Inkscape-user] Printing Documents
by Joshua Blocher 13 Sep '06

As better temporary solution for *nix systems ( may or may not help windows users ) I suggest using gtklp http://gtklp.sourceforge.net/ it provides a better interface and more options then printing directly to the printer. Joshua L. Blocher verbalshadow

Inkscape > experts, please let us know what you think. Yup, it's a coding issue. It looks like the code in question is in inkscape/src/extensions/internal/*.cpp . Being able to print banners from Inkscape would be _very cool_. This could be a seriously killer feature. > I noticed on the Inkscape wiki site that there is/was a survey > concerning printing from Inkscape. It appears that the question has > arisen before. Yes, that was a survey to see if there were people willing to fund development work. We came pretty close to having sufficient interest, and some people even pledged some money, but there just wasn't enough to make it viable. > PLEASE, Inkscape coders, if there is something you could do to help lost > souls like me print their documents, look into this.

You're probably thinking, "...but I can't code", but I think you could make a huge contribution here simply by helping locate a coder who can do the work. Ideally, someone could be found that would be willing to do this work simply for fun and to help Inkscape; there may be students who would like to take on a coding challenge like this. A more brute force option would be to do some fund raising and then contract someone to do the work. Either way would probably work, esp. if you can help provide them with guidance and feedback as they go. Does this sound like something you'd like to help with? I know this is probably a call of duty beyond what you expect, but it would be a great way to participate in the Inkscape project, facilitate making it more suitable to your needs, and make it that much better for everyone else as well.

Bug tracking and Closed feature requests
by Alan Horkan 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

I sometimes feel hesistant to close certain feature requests, or how similar things need to be to mark things as duplicates. There haven't been any complaints so I can only assume no one minds (although bulia has corrected some of my sloppier less accurate comments but some days you are tired and __it happens). One of the requests I closed just today was for asking for Inkscape to use the platform native file chooser. Given how the Inkscape developers have already removed this mis-feature from the codebase I'm just hoping for agreement that it is impractical to do something like that on a per application basis and any future requests should be referred to GTK? https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1550205&group_id=… The more general issue I am trying to deal with is how can I better know what bugs to close and make sure I dont go too far? It is always possible some developer somewhere will be inspired to add wacky and interesting features, but it would be helpful if there was something the developers could or say to do to cut down on the guess-work when closing request for things which are likely to be beyond the scope of Inkscape. Does anyone have an ideas about cutting down the quantity of duplicate requests? (I've always said anonymous requests put the barrier too low, and users should at least be interested enough to provide follow up information if needed.) Should I start to carve out some kind of Anti-Roadmap in the wiki and try to explain some of the things which fall beyond the scope of Inscape? Thanks in advance, back to trawling through the tracker for another while Sincerely Alan Horkan Inkscape http://inkscape.org Abiword http://www.abisource.com Open Clip Art http://OpenClipArt.org Alan's Diary http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/

H o t sotck ale rt. This one is still climbling the sotck ch arts a lert Breaking mmarket news report - TQW W. P K Lookup: TQW W. P K CCompany Name: Tayolr Auqaponics Wordlwide, Inc. Recently tradding for: 0.40 6 Week Target: 1.25 6 Month Target: 4.97 Rating: Immediate bu y Expected: Steadily climb for the top Our featured companyy TQW W is a “Big Fish” in what so far has been a little pond. But all of that is going to change when Wall Street sees the growth they’re experiencing. Whether you love fish, or vegetables, or don’t care for either one, T QWW needs to be on your plate! SSuccess has already happened for Tailor Made Fish Farms, the original compaany behind T QWW, as you can see by the stories on this page. Do your research, and find out why we think TQW W could increase as much as 400% or more in the next few weeks. If you’ve been fishing for a great opportunity, OTC PK: TQ WW could be the best deal you’ve ever hooked! Talior Aquaopnics Wolrdwide, Inc. (O TCPK: T QWW) has developed an easy to operate, land-based modular fish production system that is both sustainable and environmentally responsible. Production of ‘year-round’ premium quality fish and vegetables is achieved through compact and controlled production areas using much less water than conventional methods resulting in two crops from a single water uptake. This efficient combination of TQ WW's fish & vegetable production has two major advantages: We see the possibility of a 250% rise in the very near future, and more may come after word spreads. Go with the flow – and b uy TQW W when the “tide” is low, then just wait for it to come in! Huge mmoney from a companyy that satisfies ecological needs – there’s something you don’t see very often. TQW W is primed for huge international growth in the very near future, and as one of the most well-known players in the aquaponics field, TQ WW will bring its industtry to new countries (and new innvestors!). It seems like making mooney with Auqaponics is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel…and now you can ride the wave with T QWW! Don’t delay – do your research on T QWW and contact your brroker immediateely! The time to get in on this great fish story is now! Talior Aqupaonics Wolrdwide, unlike many of its competitors, already succcessfully operates a coommercial scale food production system. The upside for Aquaponics is uncharted, but huge revenues are already being derived from a Taailor Aquaponnics combined Fish Farming/Vegetable Farming venture in Australia. The research shows us that this is a sstock we want to acquire – and acquire a great deal of – before more news makes it across the Pacific. Remember, TQ WW is on tracck for inccreases of 250%, 400% or more, but not many people know about it yet. That’s why you need to do your research and make your p l a y today!
