about?

Unless some new showstopper bugs are found, I think pre4 should be OK to release as 0.44. There's one thing to be done before that, however. I really don't like the new About screen. I think it's below the level of quality we've established in past versions. Am I alone in that? Andy said he would work on a new one - is there any progress on that? -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Releasing Inkscape 0.44 soon?
by Bryce Harrington 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Cmarqu has pointed out that C't magazine is running an article in their next release promoting the Inkscape 0.44 release. This comes out in 2 days. This means we have a huge opportunity here if 0.44 can be finished and windows packages made available by June 24th. If we fail to achieve this, we will probably greatly disappoint a lot of readers who will come looking for this release. As I understand it, there are no bugs left holding up the 0.44.0 release, and it's only cosmetic issues at this point (e.g. about screen tweaks). I know for an art tool that getting cosmetics well polished is important, but I would like to strongly suggest we release ASAP, and put a big priority on getting Windows and OSX packages generated of that within the next two days, so that we can take advantage of the C't publication. We have planned a 0.44.1 exactly with the intention of avoiding allowing small issues like these from delaying a release. Let's go with whatever is easiest for the about screen for now, and leave perfecting it for 0.44.1. Bryce

XCF support
by David Neary 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi all, I don't know if everyone saw my recent blog entry on XCF: http://blogs.gnome.org/view/bolsh/2006/06/19/0 Through that I found Henning Makholm's xcftools at http://henning.makholm.net/software - he has abstracted away the GIMP, and coded a decent png/pnm export filter for XCF which takes into account layer masks and layer modes. You can also extract individual layers with it. It would be really cool to have this encapsulated in a nice simple API for getting layers from an XCF - and I thought it might benefit ye (since ye're doing XCF support) to have a look at the programs. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary bolsh@...85... Lyon, France

[inkscape-devel] Merging pedro
by Dale Harvey 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

After discussing it with David Yip we think it would be a good idea to merge the INKBOARD_PEDRO branch into trunk. pedro is stable and there are a few issues with the way the was the branch works that would make it easier to work with in trunk inkboard is pretty self contained and there would be minimal changes to the verb / file / document source files, removing the old inkboard stuff I just thought I should mail the list for the go ahead?

Thanks, Cedric. I has been completely immersed working in my thesis the last few weeks. Today I finished writing and will be exposing next week. Then back to work with you guys.Also, I feel that now that 0.44 is almost out we can spend more brain in what's next :-) . However, I have a few ideas and opininons, will be posting them right now in the wiki.

merge the filters?
by Aaron Spike 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Shall we merge the filters branch into trunk? I've never done this before, but I suspect that it works something like this. Inside of a working copy of trunk type: svn merge -r 12093:HEAD https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/branches/svg-filters and then commit after fixing any conflicts. Does taht sound about right? Should this happen now-ish? Aaron Spike

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-translator] Localization of keyboard shortcuts

Do what? Localize hotkeys? In my not so humble opinion this is a terrible idea. Imagine a user who is reading a tutorial in English and has to find equivalents for all mentioned hotkeys for his localized version of Inkscape. Sorry if that sounds sour. Alexandre

Il serait bon de passer en revue cela .dmg et le Installateur en traduction, aussi. The most important thing is to test Inkscape on the Intel Mac, and particularly the Universal Binary (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.43%2B0.44pre4-2.UNIV…). It would be be good to review that .dmg and the Installer in translation, as well.

xml encoding

Is there anyway to make inkscape save an SVG using iso-8859-1 encoding, rather than utf-8? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/xml-encoding-t1820803.html#a4964951 Sent from the Inkscape - Dev forum at Nabble.com.

Layers dialog
by Jon A. Cruz 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Well, I think we're hitting the home stretch here. I've folded in most of the main functional changes, including scrolling, pop-up menus, in-place editing of layer names, and not rebuilding the entire tree every time you select a different layer. Depending on how robust things are, I may be able to add the eye and lock icons, and to switch the status bar's layer selector to use the same layer manager back-end. However, any poking at it people can do in the mean time would be helpful.
