Wacom smartpad support - request for ideas
by Peter Hutterer 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Benjamin Tissoires and I have been working on a project called Tuhi that communicates with the wacom smartpad devices and pulls the data off them. https://github.com/tuhiproject/tuhi/ Devices working so far are the Bamboo Spark, Slate and the Intuos Pro Paper. Smartpad devices aren't traditional graphics tablets [1] but instead have a paper notepad on top of a sensor with a special pen. You draw on the paper, the sensor registers the drawings and stores it in a custom vector-based format in the device. Later, you connect the device over bluetooth to the host and fetch the drawings from the firmware. This is the bit that tuhi does, and it exposes the drawings as a simple json-based vector format overa session DBus API. To interact, you basically connect to the dbus daemon, tell it to listen to the device and then get notified about new drawings. Then you can fetch the drawings one-by-one as needed. Tuhi only has a commandline client for debugging and we don't intend to ship that client, it's for debugging only. Eventually, we may have a standalone application similar to Wacom's Inkspace (yeah, confusing, isn't it?). This app would be a gallery-style application that displays the drawings and exports them to the desired formats. That's a fairly straightforward process. But right now what we're interested in is whether inkscape has interest in a plugin-style implementation that talks to the tuhi daemon. Or whether there are use-cases where the standalone application is insufficient and some tighter integration is needed. Or other use-case you can think of that we haven't yet. Any comments appreciated! Cheers, Peter [1] the intuos pro paper is when you plug it in, let's ignore that for now

List issues
by Maren Hachmann 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Does anyone know why some list emails arrive so late lately? Within the last week, I think at least 10 emails arrived after > 4 days only (I can exclude a mail server issue on my side, as I get the same emails at the same times on my web-based email account). Has there been a major sourceforge outage? What's the status of the mailing list move to our own server? Maren

Resending this. Apparently I used the wrong email address to send this from, so it didn't go to the list. -----Original Message----- From: brynn Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2018 12:25 PM To: Martin Owens ; Ryan Gorley ; inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Visitor analytics What I like the best about it (Piwik/Matomo) is that it seems to only report on what I refer to as human visitors. Personally I find that much more useful. (Although I could imagine that some sites (or webmasters, owners) might be more interested in aalllll the traffic.) So that's the sandcats.io script that I see in Firefox's No Script? So already, visitors haven't been notified about the site using this tracking? So the login via github has to do with sandstorm, from what I can tell? Because I just log in on the page where I installed it, on my site. brynn -----Original Message----- From: Martin Owens Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2018 2:12 AM To: brynn ; Ryan Gorley ; inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Visitor analytics On Sun, 2018-02-25 at 01:24 -0700, brynn wrote: > Whatever a Piwik "sandcat sandstorm grain" is, it's probably very > different from > what I'm using on my site. That's just the way it's deployed. It's easier to do that then to set it up raw although it comes with it's own oddness hence the login restrictions. The graphs even now are interesting. Martin,

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Boston hackfest stickers

I've heard three mentions in support of Boston Tea Party ships. I'll do a variation with that and then we can maybe take a vote on which version works better. I'm not married to either idea. Just want folks to be happy with the results. :) More soon. -C On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 4:58 PM, Máirín Duffy <duffy@...43...> wrote: > > On 02/20/2018 10:48 AM, Martin Owens wrote: >> >> Although I fear we're putting too much pressure on you, your design was >> really nice tbh.

Hi Inkscape developers, users, and supporters, There's a open-source software named Krita which offers daily-builds from trunk, and I was wondering if this sort of thing was possible for Inkscape. Thank you for reading.

no access to Inkscape code repository on Gitlab
by alvinpenner 24 Feb '18

24 Feb '18

Hi, Is it just me, or have the permissions changed for browsing the Inkscape code on Gitlab? I have a shortcut for accessing Inkscape: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape I use this regularly just for curiosity. This link no longer works, unless I am signed in to Gitlab, which I typically am not. Even worse, if I use this link, and then go to the link that says: Explore projects on GitLab.com (no login needed) I find that the Inkscape project no longer exists. That is to say, many Inkscape-related projects are found, but Inkscape itself does not exist or cannot be found. just checking, Alvin -- Sent from: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Inkscape-Dev-f2781808.html

MacOS build on Github to consider
by Jared Meidal 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

About four years ago some discussion occurred around rejuvenating a build system for MacOS. I have since noticed a individual in that discussion has code and build instructions open on Github, and has continued to develop here: https://github.com/valerioa/Inkscape-MacOS-Curated-Build After trying out the build, I like the ability to work without X11 in a native app appearance. I'm not an app developer, but would like to raise attention to this as a project which has gone a long way to benefit Mac users. --Jared

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape liveAnimate idea
by openInvent 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hey all someone told me a way to view same document at different zoom levels using the window duplicate function. I was able to use it somewhat but in ubuntu the window doesnt stay on top some times or it isnt dockable. Also I used the tutorial files from help and I was trying to LIVE ANIMATE that file using vokoscreen that comes with ubuntu studio... And It was very laggy on my slow pc running off 2GB RAM and a Live DVD. I really think with a RAID 0 of 10k Hard Drives it would be fine. Anyways I am kinda suggesting that I be able to dock or split a window. I was liking the horizontal spilt I could move animated objects on lower screen and they would move above in the larger screen without the cursor showing. I wish I could disable the UI or the cursor with a hotkey and set other hotkeys to affect scale or rotation or like switch layers like press space to swap group file or unhide a top layer etc. Any suggestions? I know Inkscape isnt a animation suite but its simple for little things like a Puppeteer App especially if you can do post production and use a chromakey background. Example like handwriting Words onto a music video etc. It seems that my emails get "lost" you can snail mail me at the address below and I will reply with sticker gifts.(tiny.cc/oisticker) Ember AR Leona 250 S.
