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...

inkscape crash
by Néstor Díaz 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hello: Since 0.42 release of inkscape I am experiencing crashing with the gtk-qt-engine. All the others gtk applications works fine with the gtk-qt-engine and so does Inkscape except for the Align and Distribute Dialog. Whenever I click on it (new or saved drawing) I get this: nestorm@...1092...:~$ inkscape QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setBrush: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setBrush: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() (inkscape:9051): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixmap_foreign_new_for_display: assertion `(anid != 0)' failed (inkscape:9051): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_draw_drawable: assertion `src != NULL' failed (inkscape:9051): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (inkscape:9051): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new: assertion `width > 0' failed (inkscape:9051): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_n_channels: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (inkscape:9051): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_bits_per_sample: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (inkscape:9051): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (inkscape:9051): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_height: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (inkscape:9051): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_rowstride: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (inkscape:9051): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setBrush: Will be reset by begin() Emergency save activated! Emergency save document locations: Documento nuevo 1.2005_11_28_19_10_31.0 Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Violación de segmento (core dumped) Removing the qt integration solves this topic, but I wonder if there is any other reason behind this failure. why it's only with one dialog? why only since 0.42 release? why only with Inkscape? I use in a daily basis Gimp, Mozilla, all of the visually integrated thanks to the gtk-qt-engine with no probs. It happened with ubuntu hoary and it happens now with mandriva2006official. Too many questions for me. Thanks: Néstor

0.44 plans
by bulia byak 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

So, with 0.43 finally out, let's all return to development. The 0.44 will be a "long" "development" release, so you all have plenty of time to try your wildest ideas. (If you start right now, that is :) I would like to list some things that I know are being worked on and that I would like to see finalized for 0.44. I'm not trying to push anyone, just making an overview of the projects I know and care about, in no particular order. Additions are welcome, as are comments - from the developers mentioned below as well as anyone else. Let's use this thread to get an idea of where we are and what we can expect in the future. - GTKmmfication. Ralf Stephan seems to be making a good progress, so I really hope we'll see this coming to some kind of milestone soon, with most of the current code duplication eliminated. An update on the current status would be much appreciated. - Rotation center retention (John Cliff) - a very useful simple patch that just needs to be rewritten correctly. I will then reuse this facility so that keyboard and Transform dialogs honor the center position as well. - Path effects (ACSpike) - this basically means converting all the Python effects (and adding more) so they are completely live and applicable to any path or shape, without losing the editability of the original. We have a pretty good idea of what to do and how to do it. I'd really love to see this implemented, at least bascially, in 0.44. - Memory debugging. No one has been doing this recently. Our memory intake is truly notorious, and I'm sure a lot can be done about that by a dedicated developer. The most natural person for this task is Mental, thanks to his libgc involvement, but patching leaks does not require much knowledge of the codebase (though it requires much special expertise), so volunteers are welcome. - Text UI. I really have no excuses for not implementing the text toolbar. Except for, you guessed it, GTKmmfication being unfinished. For example, I want to subclass the Gtk::Spinbutton to make it easier to add a useful right-click menu for spinbuttons. I can do this now, but again, I'm not sure how much of this will have to be redone later. - DOM (Bob Jamison). We have a Javascript subdir for ages, and I'm afraid it will start to bitrot (if not already) if not put to use. Bob, can you give an update on this? - Layers dialog (Mental). Long overdue. Mental, is there anything specific we can do to help you start moving with that? - Swatches panel in the main window (Jon Cruz). Really a must. A simple change, but one that will change the perception of Inkscape by new users drastically. Jon, what holds you back with this? - Snapping. Lots of problems have accumulated in that area. User complaints are regular. Someone (probably me, though volunteers are welcome) just needs to lay out a plan and attack this methodically. - style.cpp automation - Richard Hughes had some code for autogenerating style.cpp code from the CSS specification. I wonder what is the status of this? - More connectors work (Michael) - specifically, I would love to see an option for connectors made of hor/vert segments only. This seems to be the most useful in practice. (And if we have Path Effects working, one of the first effects I'd like to see implemented is Round Corners. Any effect will be transparently applicable to connector lines.) - Site redesign. We've got a design chosen, so what is the next step? Is anyone working on that? - Windows "dialogs on top" patch for GTK from this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1363297&group_id=9… This issue sucks so big that we simply have no serious chances on Windows until it's resolved. Anyone knows the current status of the patch? - Bug sorting and closing. We're really behind on that. Let's not (try to) clean this up before the release only. If everyone reviews, comments, and ideally closes a couple bugs right now, we will all have more room to breathe when 0.43 bugs start pouring in. -- bulia byak Inkscape.
