NEW: translateable header/footer in tutorials
by bulia byak 06 May '06

06 May '06

- To make it easier for newbies to navigate in the SVG tutorials, marginal hints are added In the header and footer saying "Use Ctrl+down/up arrow to scroll" with the corresponding arrow. - The SVG files with the tutorial header and footer, including the scrolling hint, are now translateable (i.e. you can translate the word "tutorial" and the scrolling hints). Just add the SVG files _tutorial-header.XX.svg and _tutorial-footer.XX.svg and regenerate the tutorials - they will use these files. (If there are no such files for your language, the default English header/footer are used.) So far, French header/footer SVG files are added, translators are welcome to add more languages. [Scislac: this means that all SVG tutorials in all languages now need to be regenerated and reuploaded to Inkscape tree!] As a remainder, all the tutorials machinery is in the doc-docbook module in SVN. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Compile Problems (OS X 10.3)
by Brian 06 May '06

06 May '06

I am having a few issues compiling Inkscape. My intent is to implement Flash export functionality. I set up a custom Fink environment just for Inkscape. When I compile the version from the svn I get: gradient-drag.cpp: In member function `void GrDragger::updateTip()': gradient-drag.cpp:662: error: `ngettext' undeclared (first use this function) gradient-drag.cpp:662: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) I've tried this using both gettext-dev and gettext3-dev i gettext 0.10.40-24 Message localization support i gettext-bin 0.14.2-13 GNU Internationalization utilities i gettext-tools 0.14.2-13 GNU Internationalization utilities (Development Tools) i libgettext3-dev 0.14.2-13 GNU Internationalization utilities (Development Files) i libgettext3-shlibs 0.14.2-13 GNU Internationalization utils (shared libs) I've also installed a stand-alone installation of gettext 0.14.5 --- Inkscape .43 tarball: I figured i'd take a stab at the .43 release to see if by chance something got mucked up on the SVN server. Configure runs happily, when I try compiling I get this: object-edit.cpp: In function `void sp_spiral_outer_set(SPItem*, const NR::Point&, const NR::Point&, unsigned int)': object-edit.cpp:941: error: `isfinite' undeclared in namespace `std' Anyone have any ideas? The ngettext test passes just fine in the configure script. Thanks, Brian

Google SoC: GTK+ 2.9.0 released
by unknown＠example.com 06 May '06

06 May '06

I forwarded the message just to show I'm not crazy :) The GTK+ folks have the goal of GTK+ 2.10 supporting cross platform printing, like gnome-print++. I would love to see someone write a GTK+ 2.10 print plugin for Inkscape. --Ted ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 05 May 2006 13:11:30 -0400 From: Matthias Clasen <mclasen@...43...> Reply-To: gnome-hackers@...45... To: gnome-announce-list@...45..., gtk-devel-list@...45..., gtk-app-devel-list@...45..., gtk-list@...45... Subject: GTK+ 2.9.0 released GTK+ 2.9.0 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.9/ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/2.9/ gtk+-2.9.0.tar.gz md5sum: c11a4127073b34f0b78c1a7f7a86aaa0 gtk+-2.9.0.tar.bz2 md5sum: a248f792e196d7a916626f5e0eff4e20 This is the first development release leading up to GTK+ 2.10. Notes: * This is unstable development release. There are certainly plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of GTK+ 2.8. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall GTK+ 2.8. * GTK+ 2.10 will be source compatible with the GTK+ 2.8 series; the new API additions in GTK+ 2.9.0 are not yet finalized, so there are likely incompatibilies between this release and the final 2.10 release. * The ABI version has been bumped from 2.4.0 to 2.10.0, since the filechooser backend interface has been changed. Third-party filechooser backends need to be ported to the new interface. Other third-party modules (input methods, image loaders, etc) just need to be reinstalled in the proper location for GTK+ to find them. * Remaining issues for GTK+ 2.10 can be found with following bugzilla query: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=gtk% 2b&target_milestone=2.10+API+Freeze&target_milestone=2.10 +Freeze&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. What is GTK+ ============ GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development. GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all developers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties. Where to get more information about GTK+ ======================================== Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be found at: http://www.gtk.org/ An installation guide for GTK+ 2.x is found at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.4/gtk/gtk-building.html Common questions: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.4/gtk/gtk-question-index.html http://www.gtk.org/faq/ Overview of Changes from GTK+ 2.8.x to 2.9.0 ============================================ * GtkStatusIcon, a cross-platform "tray icon" API * GtkAssistant, a widget for creating multi-step wizards * GtkLinkButton, a widget that displays a clickable hyperlink * GtkRecentChooser, widgets to display and select recently used files * GtkPrintOperation, cross-platform printing support * A framework for rich text copy and paste and DND * GtkCellRendererAccel, a cell renderer for key combinations * GtkCellRendererSpin, a cell renderer which edits numeric values using a spin button * GtkAction works with named icons in addition to stock icons * GtkNotebook supports DND, allowing to reorder tabs, move tabs between notebooks and drop tabs on the desktop to open a new window * GtkTreeView: - Enhanced customizability (e.g. grouping) with the show-expanders and level-indentation properties - Allow to embed the search popup - Better search popup positioning * GtkFileChooser: - Communication with backends is now asynchronous to avoid blocking on filesystem operations. Due to the required interface changes, the GTK+ ABI version has been bumped to 2.10.0. Third-party filesystem backends have to be ported to the new interface, other modules, such as theme engines, input method modules or pixbuf loaders have to be rebuilt so that they are installed in the right place for GTK+ to find them. - The location entry (popped up by C-L) has been integrated in the main dialog. * Reworked hex Unicode input now requires Ctrl-Shift-U * Animations can now be globally controlled by settings * The gtk-touchscreen-mode setting controls a number of changes that make GTK+ work better on touchscreens * Password entries can optionally show the last entered character for a short while, controlled by the password-hint-timeout setting * GTK+ can now consult an additional fallback icon theme before falling back to hicolor * Improved themability: - GTK+ supports symbolic colors, which can be set system-wide using a setting, and can be modified and used in rc files and theme engines - GTK+ sets window type hints on override-redirect windows to help compositing managers apply proper bling - Paths in rc files can now refer to all subclasses of a class - GtkRange steppers will appear insensitive when the slider is at the end; applications which need to handle this case (e.g. to extend the range) can opt out of this. - GtkRange::activate-slider style property allows themes to draw sliders differently while they are being dragged - GtkNotebook::tab-overlap and GtkNotebook::curvature style properties allow more flexible notebook theming - The spacing of buttons around children can be themed with the GtkButton::inner-border style property. Apps can override this per-widget using the corresponding inner-border property - GtkMenu has aquired a horizontal-padding style property - There are style properties for the color of hyperlinks, GtkWidget::link-color and GtkWidget::visited-link-color - GtkTreeview row hinting now takes the selection into account - Scrolling menus can be forced to always display both arrows, using the GtkMenu::double-arrows style property - Separators can be themed using the wide-separators, separator-width and separator-height style properties - GtkTreeView allows more flexible theming with the row-ending-details property - The pixbuf theme engines supports customized drawing of expanders and resize grips * GDK changes: - OS X backend - DirectFB backend - Closing displays works - gdk_screen_is_composited to check for running compositing manager - Support for Super, Hyper and Meta modifiers * gdk-pixbuf changes: - Supports saving tiff - Supports loading 16-bit pnm - Doesn't load entire gif animation to get first frame A list of all the bugs fixed in this release can be found at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=58389,59718,73240,74620,78545,… Thanks to all the people who contributed in some way to this release: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, Akkana Peck, Alexander Larsson, Alexander Nedotuskov, Alex Graveley, Anders Carlsson, Andrei Yurkevich, Andrew Conkling, Andrew S.

Problem with verbs
by Jon A. Cruz 06 May '06

06 May '06

Before I did some other changes that would require adding a new verb, I setup a unit test on verbs explicitly. In doing so, I discovered that Verb::getbyid() fails if the id has any dots in it. To see the problem, just update and do a 'make check'. You should then see the warning come up for that (I made it a warning for the moment, instead of a failure). So, does anyone have ideas about this and how to fix it?

[SoC] Native OSX GUI ?
by Timothée Anglade 06 May '06

06 May '06

Hey there, As a (future) candidate for the Google Summer of Code, and a fan and user of Inkscape, I strolled through the ideas page on the website, but I didn't find any mention of a native GUI for OSX. As far as I can tell, it's not even on the roadmap, which leads me to think that the developing community might not see that a critical or even important. I, for one, would really like to see that happen. First as a user, because launching X11 on a low-end Mac is just extremely painful and the interface is not always rendered correctly (which kind of negates the possibility of really using Inkscape on OSX sometimes). Secondly, I do think that it could be useful in that there is currently no other free (as in beer) vector editor of quality on OSX, which stays the platform of choice for many 'creatives'. Finally, as far as I can tell, it looks highly feasible on a technical and temporal standpoint. My only fear (and my main question here), is that I may face an OOo-type situation where the GUI and the engine are so bonded together that using another GUI involves going deep into the general code. It does not seem that this is the case as Inkscape is built on libraries and previous projects, but you never know. So, I was wondering if that type of project seemed 1) interesting to you (ie : may be a good subject for a SoC participation) and 2) seemed feasible to you as everyday/everyweek/everymonth contributers to the code. Many thanks in advance for your input ! Sincerely, Tim Anglade

Cornelius and I have been working on the design that won the redesign inkscape.org contest on deviantart over the last few days. Its not at completion yet, but enough work has been done to probably show everyone for opinions, bug reports. http://inkscape.modevia.com/daj-design/ is it so far known bugs I havent had time to fix, * the footer occasionally overlays content in firefox * the hover on the navigation shows up as white (image not preloaded) * screenshot is floated and not cleared before news * sourceforge link blinks on hover * main image drops below navigation when width of the browser window is to small in ie * Translation links are not in native language The fixes for these are pretty trivial, ill be going over them this weekend as well as other bugs I find.

Google SoC
by Ted Gould 06 May '06

06 May '06

Hey all, If your a mentor you really should go to: http://code.google.com/soc/inkscape/open.html and comment on the proposals that are there. Also, there aren't that many proposals for Inkscape submitted... I was hoping for more. I realize it isn't the weekend yet (we are talking about college students :) but remember the earlier you get it in, mentors can provide feedback about the proposal. Remember the Google people have to decide to fund it also, so we want to make the proposals good. --Ted
