save as AUTOCAD (dxf): Unknown error attempting to open temporary file
by unknown＠example.com 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

Hello list, I am using Inkscape Version 0.41 on Suse 9.3 and I would like to expot DXF format which does not work. What I have done so far: 1. downloaded svg2dxf.zip from http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~squiresm/ 2. unpacked the zip file and copied the files ps2dxf.sh and dxf_output.inx to /opt/gnome/share/inkscape/extensions 3. made the file ps2dxf.sh executeable 4. Then I start Inkscape from a Shell 5. right afte the start, I check the extensions-errors.log which has no messages 6. I place some straight lines and save them as .svg which works 7. I try "save as AUTOCAD (dxf)": Inkscape says "file saved" but 8. I get the following message in the shell: Extension::Script: Unknown error attempting to open temporary file : invalid or incomplete Multi-Byte- or Wide-Sign [translation from German: : Ungültiges oder unvollständiges Multi-Byte- oder Wide-Zeichen] No file has been saved. Any Idea, what has gone wrong here? Thanks for help Rai

The fixed length toolbars issue
by Chris Hayes 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Hi, I'm new to this but I was hoping that I could get some feedback about this bug submission about the fixed toolbar making inkscape unusable on unusual or small screen resolutions: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1469554&group_id=93438&ati… I have left a reply to it, and I hope that people will read what I've added, because it is stopping me from being able to use inkscape. Could someone please reply telling me whether it might be possible for anyone to fix this or not? Or more importantly, whether this bug is one that the developers consider important enough to warrant a fix or not. I have made some suggestions as to how it might be fixable, however I am not a real programmer, so they are just suggestions. Thanks for reading this, Chris

GSoC 2006 Mentor Summit
by Bryce Harrington 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Google is holding a summit in San Francisco, on Sat Oct 14th. I won't be making it, but wanted to pass this along in case another mentor (Ted? Jon?) would like to... http://www.red-bean.com/ospowiki/MentorSummit-2006 Bryce ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LH <lhospo@...400...> to GSoC Hello everyone, If you are an organization administrator who is not planning to attend the summit, please forward this message along to the two delegates for your organization so they can register for the event and get looped in all logistical details. We've put up a wiki to plan the GSoC 2006 Mentor Summit. Thanks to our friends at red-bean.com for hosting it for us! In order to access and edit the wiki, you will need to register at http://www.red-bean.com/socwiki/UserPreferences Once you've registered and logged in, please visit http://www.red-bean.com/socwiki/. From this page you'll find general information about the summit, as well as links to an attendee registration page, logistics information, an agenda page and our mentor summit FAQ. A few things you'll notice when visiting the wiki: 1) We're structuring the summit as an unconference - we want you to decide what topics should be discussed and will be most useful to your fellow mentors and admins. Please feel free to populate the conference agenda with whatever sessions you'd like. 2) There is still no information on the wiki for booking flights, though there is information on booking your hotel stay. According to our Finance department, everything should be ready with our travel agent to allow you to book flights as of tomorrow morning. I will post to the list as soon as everything is finalized and instructions for booking flights have been added to the wiki. Any questions, just let us know at soc2006support@...1508... Cheers, LH

You can disable building Cairo-pdf support by editing config.h in your inkscape root and outcomment #define HAVE_CAIRO_PDF ; that way you can compile again. I have not searched for a compiled Cairo package with included FT font support yet. - Johan

Building Debian package from svn
by Stefan Endrullis 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hello, I have tried to run 'checkinstall' after compilation but building the Debian package fails. Here are the default values I had to customize: > 0 - Maintainer: [ root@...1501... ] > 1 - Summary: [ A Vector Drawing Application ] > 2 - Name: [ inkscape ] > 3 - Version: [ 0.44+devel ] > 4 - Release: [ 0 ] > 5 - License: [ GPL ] > 6 - Group: [ Applications/Graphics ] > 7 - Architecture: [ i386 ] > 8 - Source location: [ inkscape ] > 9 - Alternate source location: [ ] > 10 - Requires: [ desktop-file-utils > desktop-file-utils ] First I have set the release value to '0' because it includes spaces. But there is still a problem with the requirements. I get the following error message: > dpkg-deb: Fehler beim Parsen, in Datei »/var/tmp/GUhrNQjUXHjWJoYFAWYQQ/package/DEBIAN/control« nahe Zeile 9 Paket »inkscape«: > Zeilenvorschub im Feldnamen »desktop-file-utils« When I try to change the value of Requires nothing changes. Any suggestions? Thanks. Regards, Stefan
