recent statusbar change
by bulia byak 01 Dec '05

>From changelog: >2005-12-01 MenTaLguY <mental@...3...> > > * src/widgets/desktop-widget.cpp: > > moved zoom selector away from the right edge so it won't get covered > by window manager decorations I don't like this at all. The left end of the statusbar has become very crowded, noisy, and hard to make out. The whole statusbar is very unbalanced. Also, the rationale given for this change sounds very strange. Window decorations must never cover the window contents. They are always on the outside. If this is not the case for your WM, I think it's the WM that needs fixing, not Inkscape. Can you please consider reverting this change? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Snap points or snap nodes?
by Carl Hetherington 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi all, I'm just having a tinker with the grid code; one thing I noticed: the preferences for snapping points to grids/guides uses different terminology: "snap points to..." or "snap nodes to..." Does anybody have any idea which one is right? Also: I'm playing with object snapping. Does anyone know of any existing code within Inkscape to compute straight-line - bezier curve intersections? Thanks Carl

moved zoom widget
by MenTaLguY 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I had to move the zoom widget again because too many window managers/themes like to cover the lower right corner of windows with decorations (mostly resize handles). Not totally happy with the new location, but at least it's accessible to everyone now. -mental

about dialog tweaks
by MenTaLguY 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Home sick today, and not much good for anything else, so I decided to fix some of the visual things that had been annoying me about the about dialog. Highlights: * the splash panel is constrained to the correct aspect ratio, so you can't see any "off-the-canvas" bits anymore * dialog is now automatically sized to the correct dimensions for the splash panel to have its natural document size * the window can still be arbitrarily resized (maybe it should have a minimum size, though?) * notebook tabs scroll when window is resized small * the build label is (in my opinion) positioned more aesthetically -mental

Icon rendering at startup
by Jon A. Cruz 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I went ahead and implemented the idle callback rendering of icons. This should make the menus much more responsive the first time they pop up. I think it's pretty solid as far as being defensive about the state before it tries anything, and drops off the idle list once pending things are complete.

Disappearing units on win32
by Jasper van de Gronde 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I've verified that the bug described at the URL below is indeed caused by the fact that the _unit_table member is declared statically (as far as I can tell). It's a pretty irritating bug and the problem should be quite easy to fix, I don't feel confident enough with the Inkscape source to provide a proper patch though, could someone look into this? The variable is declared/used in unit-menu.h/cpp in the ui/widget subdir, the UnitTable class is defined in units.h/cpp in the util subdir. For testing purposes I made the static member variable _unit_table into a pointer, made all methods use getUnitTable instead of using the member variable directly and constructed the unit table with new inside the UnitMenu constructor (if it wasn't constructed yet). This seems to do the trick. The bug in the bugtracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1275848&group_id=9…

Can src/make.dep, src/make.files and src/make.ofiles come out of the repository? Or is it possible to script their regeneration so that they stay in sync? Aaron Spike

I just met Bob Young (CEO of LuLu) today and found out more about this service. I'm cc'ing the Inkscape devel list about this as well... Nicu, maybe you should detail this idea on the OCAL wiki...(note, our new wiki uses mediawiki)...
