problems with linked offsets
by Ian Bruce 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Inkscape version: 0.43 (Debian package, i386) If you create a "linked offset", and then move the primary object to which that offset is linked, the offset moves FARTHER (in the same direction) than the primary. Watching this process in the XML editor, it appears that moving the primary inserts a "translate" block into the SVG code for the offset, which was not initially present. If this tag is removed, the offset will then recenter on the primary at its new location. Rotating the primary creates similar problems. The linked offset will NOT rotate, but it does move around, although in this case the "translate" tag does not appear in its SVG code. I don't know whether this behavior is intentional or not; to me, it seems kind of disfunctional, like some vector transformations are being applied in the wrong order or something. It's easy to reproduce; it happens every time. So is this behavior a bug, or a "feature"? -- Ian Bruce

UberConverter
by Eric Wilhelm 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi all, I'm nearing completion on the xar2crs, crs2xar, svg2crs, and crs2svg connectors which represent the xar <-> svg conversion for the UberConverter. I threw together a build script today. If anyone feels like testing, now would be a good time to checkout from the svn and start playing with it. You'll need svn, perl, Module::Build, and svn co http://scratchcomputing.com/uc/trunk/ uber-converter/ cd uber-converter/code/perl/ perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build install --install-base=/tmp/uc/ PATH=$PATH:/tmp/uc/bin/ PERL5LIB=/tmp/uc/lib/perl5/ svg2crs foo.svg | crs2xar > foo.xar The "perl Build.PL" step should complain if you're missing prerequisites. Assuming you have the cpan command-line client, you might just: cpan XML::SAX cpan YAML cpan Compress::Zlib cpan Class::Accessor cpan SVG cpan Test::More cpan CAD::Calc cpan CSS::SAC::LexicalUnit cpan CSS::SAC cpan Math::Vec Let me know if the build process gives you any trouble. I'm sure there are still some gaping holes in the code itself, but I thought some of the braver souls might be interested in trying things at this stage. Please do use svn, this is still too in-flux for tarballs.

I am using Windows ME to try to load INKSCAPE 0.43-2 after installation - but it crashes. All that I get instead are the following error messages back to back: PANGO ERROR**:file shape.c:line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed:(glyphs-> num_glyphs > 0) aborting... "Then after that I get": PANGO ERROR**:file shape.c:line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs-> num_glyphs > 0) aborting... Pango warning (recursed)**:Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 8" falling back to Sans 8" aborting... I am attatching screenshots of these errors as they appear on my screen. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AND HOW CAN I MAKE IT STOP? - IS THERE A CORRECTIVE PATCH OR SOMETHING? I can't even get INKSCAPE to load - PLEASE HELP ME!

export dialog breakage
by bulia byak 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Lately the export dialog got broken: you can't click on Selection, it always goes back to Custom with some wild w/h values. It's basically unusable because of this. There were no suspicious commits to export.cpp so the problem is elsewhere. I'm very busy with work right now and cannot investigate further. I would really appreciate if those who did many commits lately (especially rwst and cth103) could check if some of their changes were the reason. Thanks! -- bulia byak Inkscape.

ZINK documentation removed
by Pim Snel 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi, In the discussion about the store-as-zink-plugin I was advised to create good documentation so people know how to install and use the zink-plugin. I created a Wiki page at inkscape.org with the first documentation, but the link to the page is now removed from the frontpage in the revision: Revision 504 . . (edit) December 25, 2005 5:53 pm by pool-70-22-95-197.balt.east.verizon.net [despamming] Is it possible to have it back again. I hope to go on with the development, adding more compatibility and security and also hope the code will be added to CVS. Pim Snel
