It complains about gtkspell_new_attach not being declared or something like that. Adding #include <gtkspell/gtkspell.h> solves the problem for me. Is it happening to anybody else? Carlos

Export bug submitted
by Lucas Vieites 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

Hi, I just submitted this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1401357&group_id=9… For some reason I can't manage to stay logged in on Sourceforge. The bug is related to exporting bitmaps. When I try to export a selection, the height always stays at 1 pixel.

export bitmap doesn't respect file extension
by Wolfram Quester 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hi, I received a bug report against debian's 0.43 version of inkscape: > In the export bitmap entry of the File menu, the default is to have an > image with an extension (and format) of png. However, if I change this > to file.jpg, inkscape silently decides that it'll still export a png, > but with the *extension* jpg. > > Instead, inkscape should do as the Gimp does, and do smart things with > the extension and/or offer the user a choice. > > At the bare minimum, give a warning and/or save the file as file.jpg.png > so there is no ambiguity about the filetype. I thought I should submit this here before I add it to the tracker due to the recent discussion about changes in the export dialog. Perhaps we could warn the user in this dialog that at the moment only png is supported for bitmap exports. With best wishes, Wolfi

Page properties - size errors
by Lucas Vieites 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

Hi, I'm running cvs version of Inkscape 0.43 and I'm having trouble wtih the paper size. When I create a new document I usually use A4 paper size. My default units are mm, and according to the Document properties an A4 sheet of paper is 248,03 x 350,79 mm. This is incorrect, should be 210 x 279 mm. When I accept this setting and return to the main window I create a vertical guideline at 0mm, which goes correctly to the left edge, and another guideline at 210mm, which goes correctly to the right edge. Strange... On the other hand horizontal guidelines go wrong; a hor. guide at 0 mm goes correctly to the bottom edge, but a guide at 279mm goes way below the top edge. Another curious thing is that, although it uses 248,03 x 350,79 mm as the size in mm for A4 when I change the units to cm, it sets the page size to 21,26 x 30,07 cm. It didn't convert correctly. How to reproduce this: - Open a new document. - Open "Document Properties" (Shift+Ctrl+D) - Set page size to A4 - Set units to mm (note the width and height) - Set units to cm (note the width and height) If this is a know "feature" I'll wait for it's solution, otherwise I'll be happy to file a bug. OK, I just checked the bug list on sourceforge and I guess this is just a confirmation of bug: [ 1391348 ] Win32: 0.43 devel+: wrong page sizes http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1391348&group_id=9… I'm using Ubuntu Breezy, so I can confirm that.

NEW: Metadata dialog
by Ralf Stephan 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

Hello, this is just to remind people the Document Properties dialog has been split. So, if you use $(HOME)/.inkscape/menus.xml then you might want to generate a new one, or add the DialogMetadata tag to it. Work continues on both dialogs. Regards, rwst

font not working
by David Christian Berg 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hey guys! I've a font consisting of 18 styles... it's in pfb as well as afm, pfm and inf format. I've not clue, which files I actually need, but I think the pfbs are the ones, because they have a preview :) Anyways, when trying to use them in Inkscape I see the list with all the different styles, right as one would expect, on selecting the font. However, the styles aren't rendered properly. Is it an Inkscape or an Pango bug? Abiword and OOo skrew up as well, but after all they can't handle that many styles anyway. Scribus doesn fine. Thanx for you help! David
