Fwd: Message sent to Toyo Inks Melbourne
by Janet Hawtin 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hi team I am not a dev person, but I posted to a company today that I thought could be a good potential partner for opensource graphic application developers. The are an international printing ink manufacturer. Much respected in the printing sector and who do have an alternative colour matching system integrated into proprietory software at this time. As they are not the primary colour matching system used in that market I thought they might be interested in what could happen if they partner with open source tech. Anyway my 2 messages are included below in reverse order. Top one is to Kylie in Melbourne, Bottom one was sent first, through their website form. I am trying to make sure that I am letting the developers know what I posted. These messages were posted by me as an individual and are not intended to represent the opinion of any group, but I hope that they will make it possible for Toyo to check out open source and see if its something they can participate in. All the best Janet -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Libre Graphics Meeting, 17, 18 and 19 March 2006 in Lyon, France Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 16:43:06 +1030 From: Janet Hawtin <lucychili@...1211...> Reply-To: lucychili@...1211... To: reception@...1212... Kylie Following up from the phonecall this afternoon: Possible opportunity for Toyo Inks with open source software. A colour matching system such as colourfinder, if open sourced, could be included in this emerging sector of software. http://www.toyoink.com/products/colorfinder.asp Toyo has top quality ink and so this could be a way to get designers using the full gamut of your colour range as they would be specifying using your swatches and colour matching system. Here is the link to the event where open source developers and graphic designers from around the world will be meeting in France: http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/ The first Libre Graphics Meeting will be held on 17, 18 and 19 March 2006 in Lyon, France in the Ecole d'Ingénieurs CPE on the university campus at La Doua, Villeurbanne. Here is a copy of the message that I sent to Toyo Japan: Dear Toyo Inks I am a graphic designer who is making the shift from proprietory software to open source software. One of the challenges faced by the developers of open source software is that Pantone colour matching is proprietory and so can not be integrated into open source software. I remembered getting a swatch set of your inks, the colours were lovely and thought I would contact you to see if you would be interested in becoming the open source community's default colour matching group. I know the Free Software Foundation is very active in Japan, and I am sure that in the long run this could provide and exciting opportunity both for open source software such as Gimp and InkScape as well as for Toyo inks as they become the ink colour that people specify in their artwork. Hope this idea is useful. All the best. Janet

Re: [Inkscape-devel] "link" and "unlink" in icons
by Martin Owens 16 Mar '06

This is not a cultural thing but a language thing. 1) Chains have links, you are not showing a chain but a link in a chain 2) Padlocks mean something else, they are to protect, keep out and to lock The padlock could mean 'don't let me change this object keep it padlocked' where as the chain link would mean 'I want to link like a chain' I don't know what other languages and cultures would use but we've never had problems enforcing our own ideas of symbolism on the rest of the world why stop now.

Icons
by Joshua A. Andler 15 Mar '06

I'm in the process of replacing the icons... unfortunately tortoise svn spazzed after I renamed the old set, and I'm having to do a clean check out to get it resolved. It should be done shortly. Thanks for your patience!

Help with style setting
by Jon A. Cruz 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Help. Tricky code and lack of sleep have slowed my brain a bit too much. For doing color drag-n-drop I've got an SPItem pointer, and the color RGB value that was that was dropped onto it. My main question is what is the 'proper' way to do that?

some proposed layer functionality (UI enhancements)
by Andrius Ramanauskas 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Hi, I just finished one small UI enhancment - ability to create sublayers by using "Create Layer" dialog (patch http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1447043&group_id=9… ), I find it very usefull while I'm creating maps on Inkscape, but I wonder that other are thinking about it. Also, I found two very nice SVG features supported by Inkscape rendering engine, but not available in UI - masks and clipPaths. I tried to think of various ways to implement that in UI and there is a suggestion: - Add menu item "Mask from selection" - Menu item invokes a dialog where user can input: - select if he wants to make a mask or clip path, - enter a label, - view box type (none, user space, object bounding box). This also enables view box properties (x, y, width, height) - select if original object should be removed from layer - select if mask is automatically applied to a current layer - Add properties "Mask:" and "Clipping path" to layer properties dialog and let user select from available clipPath/mask elements - Not sure how this should fit into a layer dialog which (as I understand) is currently developed For a start I will make a prototype for myself without a dialog (mask creation from selection, applying it to a current layer), and if the will be no objections in this list, I will make it with a dialog. So, I'd like to hear that do you think and maybe someone can give me some tips, things not taken into a consideration, etc. Thanks, Andrius

Request for an italian inkscape-user-it list
by Luca Bruno 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Hi all, similarly to inkscape-user-es, surely more than 3 italian users (minimum requirement) asked me for a mailing list where to discuss about graphics and Inkscape in Italian. So I'm asking administrators to create a new mailing list (namely inkscape-user-it or just inkscape-it)... Feel free to contact me if you need more info. Also, please let me know when done in order to announce it to users.
