export dialog patch
by Osei Poku 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Hi All, I have attached a patch that uses GtkFileChooserDialog instead of GtkFileSelection when you click browse in the export dialog. I realize after reading the roadmap that the export dialog is due for an upgrade to gtkmm. However, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to have this in anyway until then. Otherwise, thanks for a great piece of software. -- Osei Poku Graduate Student, Dept. of ECE, CMU

Shorcuts do not work anymore
by Lucas Vieites 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Hi, Last week I saw a few messages regarding the keyboard shortcuts and right now I have done an update from svn and new compilation to find out that the shortcuts no longer work, and they don't appear on the menus either. Does this have anything to do with the latest additions? the shortcuts.xml file or something?

It has been a while since the last formal version of Inkscape. Any chance of a new one coming out anytime soon? I have been watching the mailing lists, but not see much about a new version. thanks Alan

NEW: calligraphic tremor
by bulia byak 16 Apr '06

16 Apr '06

Even when using a graphics tablet with pressure sensitivity, the Calligraphy pen's strokes often look too smooth and artificial. To enable a more natural look, the new Tremor parameter is added to the Calligraphy tool in this version. Adjustable in the Controls bar from 0.0 to 1.0, it will affect your strokes producing anything from slight unevenness to wild blotches and splotches. This significantly expands the creative range of the tool. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Menu structure changes
by Joshua Blocher 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

We never really resolved the menu restructuring last release and Inkscape has some new functionality add since my last proposal, so i have add,updated, and rearranged the menus according to the last input. I have also attach the original menu dump edited out of the menus-skeleton.h since there is no easy way to get the menu setting out. josh blocher verbalshadow

NEW: Xara keyboard shortcuts
by bulia byak 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

Thanks to Mental's work, we now have shortcuts configurable by editing a simple XML file. I changed the format of that file, commented and categorized the shortcuts, and also listed there all Inkscape verbs that don't have shortcuts, so that it's easier for the user to bind them to keys. Also there's much work ahead to convert as much non-verb commands as possible to verbs, so that they can be configurable as well. I also added an alternative keymap that emulates the keyboard of Xara X/Xara Xtreme/Xara LX. Since Inkscape has considerably more shortcuts than Xara, those keys that are not used by Xara retain their Inkscape bindings, thus making it easier for users to migrate from Inkscape to Xara or back. Of course, some of Xara's keys are not enabled because Inkscape does not yet have corresponding tools or commands. The files in share/keys are: inkscape.xml - Inkscape bindings default.xml - initially this is a copy of inkscape.xml, but you can overwrite it with any other profile; xara.xml - Xara bindings; to enable, copy it to default.xml; to disable, copy inkscape.xml to default.xml again. Later, Inkscape installer and/or preferences dialog will need to be enabled to switch keymaps without the user having to copy files (coding help welcome, as always). You can also customize some of your keybindings without overwriting the main default.xml. If your profile directory (~/.inkscape on Linux) contains a keys subdirectory with a default.xml file, the keybindings from that file will overlay (i.e. add to, and override in case of a conflict) the default bindings. This file may list just a few keybindings that you want to change; the format of your own default.xml is the same as that of the main default.xml. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

ODF drawing output
by Bob Jamison 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

Hi, all, Just FYI, for the next week or so we will be working on ODF drawing (.odg) output from Inkscape. If anyone is interested in helping map svg elements to <office:drawing> elements, we would certainly appreciate it. Here is an initial export of the tiger.svgz file to odg. Please note that it is a -very- early example, and most things require a lot of tweaking. This is paths-only, which will evolve into smarter exports later. Note that a lot of the style attributes still need to be translated, too. Also note that the coordinates were flipped in the Y-direction, so I fixed it manually. http://inkscape.org/win32/ink-oo.png To see what work is involved, compare the original .svg file to the content.xml file in any odg that you save. bob (ishmal)
