Save as XCF with layers
by Aaron Spike 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I know this has been mentioned before. Some people think it would be handy to save an SVG file from Inkscape as an XCF maintaining layers. I was going to have together a quick output extension in python and an accompanying script-fu for the gimp to make this happen, but I don't think we have the appropriate export options. It would be really fun to have a single command to export all the layers at once to something like filename-0001-layername.png, but I don't know how widely applicable that would be. According to the man page, --export-id forces the object's bbox for --export-area. I think this makes what I want to do impossible. I would suggest we make canvas size ALWAYS default and add an --export-bbox option. This would mean more typing for the people who already use this functionality, but it would IMHO make more sense overall. Aaron Spike

OpenType fonts
by James Kilfiger 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

What is the current level of support for OpenType fonts with postscript-like outlines? It seems to be not at all; my font works well in Scribus (1.32, Win32) and other windows applications, but isn't available in Inkscape (recent svn build). Generally what handles fonts now? freetype, Windows, pango or or or own code? James

Compiling Inkscape in Cygwin
by Sean LeBlanc 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hello, I'm trying to compile Inkscape on Cygwin. I keep getting this during configure: checking for INKSCAPE_CFLAGS... checking for INKSCAPE_LIBS... /cygdrive/c/gtk/lib/ Package gdkmm-2.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gdkmm-2.4.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gdkmm-2.4' found configure: error: Package requirements (gdkmm-2.4 glibmm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxs lt >= 1.0.15 sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.3 gthread-2.0 >= 2.0) were not met. Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively you may set the INKSCAPE_CFLAGS and INKSCAPE_LIBS environment variables to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. The odd thing is that I have downloaded gtkmm devel from here: http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/binaries/gtkmm-devel-2.8.3-1.… Thoughts? -- Sean LeBlanc:seanleblanc@...210... http://sean-leblanc.blogspot.com/ Because it's there. -George Leigh Mallory

Color drag-n-drop
by Jon A. Cruz 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

I just checked in a change to make the style minibar a target for color drag-n-drop. You can now drag colors from the swatches palette onto either the fill or stroke indicators to change the current object. Also, this should work with any apps doing a standard color drag-n- drop. I've tried this with The GIMP and also the 'font and colors' preference settings for gedit. I'd be interested in seeing which other apps do and do not work will with this. Also, since I fixed how color is dragged *from* the swatches, other programs should accept colors dragged from Inkscape.

win32 build note
by Bob Jamison 28 Feb '06

Hi, guys. Those of you building on win32 will probably need to do a make clean ; make . I applied Peter's patch to Potrace 1.7, and it changes the size of a struct in curve.h, which apparently Makedep misses. bob

Panel rework direction mockup
by Jon A. Cruz 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

I've been able to get more progress on the dockable stuff, and generic previews. That's the underlying code that's supporting the color palettes in the main UI. Hopefully we can get things tuned up to improve it to the point were it can be used for many things other than just the color swatches. I've done a quick mockup of where things might be going: notice what's down there next to the color swatches.

Re: [Inkscape-user] Autopackage: dependence on libcairo.so.2

Has the Cairoification begun? :-) Looks like some Autopackage updates are needed...

Re: [Inkscape-cvs] SF.net SVN Commit: inkscape: [10939] including typecheck trying to prevent #1432680
by unknown＠example.com 25 Feb '06

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/src/ui/dialo… Hmm, I don't think that typecheck is the best way to address the bug. It's just papering over the real problem... If the problem is that you're sometimes getting a (non-NULL) garbage pointer in dlgPtr, that has to be fixed upstream. It's probably a source of other bugs too. Besides, a typecheck here would only catch a garbage pointer most of the time. Occasionally, the arbitrary data being pointed to will have the right bit pattern... -mental

Hi, all, It looks like Subversion is now available to everyone at Sourceforge.net. Here is the notice. I bet that the guys at subversion.tigris.org are partying, now they have passed this 'tipping point.' bob
