Here's another patch to fix up the bug/support/patches/rfe count extraction, and a new test '6.tracker.t' to test it.

I've just upgraded from .42.2 to .43 and now all the menu and status bar fonts are too small to read. I'm running on Windows XP. I can't find any settings in the program to change. I've read the posting about changing gtk-font-name="verdana" etc. Although this just change some displays, it doesn't change the top menu line, or the status line at the bottom of the window.

Should clicking/draggins a bezier segment select its endnodes?

Should clicking/draggins a bezier segment select its endnodes? This bug suggests that it must not: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=1363157&group_… I see the logic in selecting the endnodes, but I don't remember ever using this feature for selecting, whereas I do remember how this was annoying a few times.

Many people reported a crach on exit on Windows. Now there's a bug report with partial backtrace: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1363083&group_id=9… suggesting it's something to do with event contexts.

Re: Patch for WWW::SourceForge

Hi Kang-min, I don't know if you noticed, but SourceForge changed their look and feel yesterday. Unfortunately, this had the effect of breaking WWW::SourceForge rather severely. Attached is a patch that partially fixes up WWW::SourceForge::Project. This fixes the loading of the description, detection of invalid projects, and the MailingList code. It doesn't fix the admin listing though, so you will want to look at that. With these changes, tests 1, 2, and 4 now work, but 3 does not. I'm also attaching a new test file for you for the MailingList code, 5.mailstats.t. I figured this breakage was a good opportunity to write tests. ;-) Anyway, hope this helps. Thanks again for the module!

small fonts on windows

just to confirm that removing the engine "wimp" { } line from the bottom of the gtkrc file in inkscape\etc\gtk-2.0\ and adding the line gtk-font-name="sans 12" where the numbers the size you want does work for fixing menu font size etc. Cheers Sim __________________________________ Yahoo!

I assumed this was to be sent to the list. Begin forwarded message: > From: Jonathan Chetwynd <j.chetwynd@...871...> > > surely a port of inkscape to cocoa is in order? > frankly X11 is not a great graphical front end :-) > and it wont be a surprise to realise that graphic artists like > native OS X applications. there are several things behind "port of inkscape to cocoa". even if I am not a developer I think I can identify the following steps: - if it is only for the interface, some projects as GTK+-cocoa (search google) are developed and might become mature enough so that inkscape will not need X11 to display the widgets. - then, the rendering engine displays the SVG to X11 I guess. So this has to become independent of X11 too... which might not be too far away with Xara and Inkscape joining efforts (the mail archives have long and interesting discussions about Xara) - eventually I guess that the pressure support is again something else. it currently depends on X11 and should be switched to carbon, cocoa or quartz or whatever deals with this in os X. Again, I'm just packaging Inkscape so I don't know the internals at all but I would bet that proper xinput will appear in some X server on os x before inkscape has a version fully running natively on os X. I have never read anything about porting it to cocoa... but if you want to do it I'll be immensely grateful ;-) Meanwhile, the situation is not be so bad after all: the X11 version of inkscape is rather usable and will only become better and better!! > how about the win98 issue? > > Have you seen this attempt to describe variable width strokes?: > http://www.schepers.cc/differentstrokes.html > it was written in response to an exchange of emails & IRC... > > I am keen to see how inkscape produces variable width lines in SVG.... > so currently rebooting in linux, however aware that pressure > sensitivity in linux isn't a given... > > regards > > > Jonathan Chetwynd > Accessible Solutions > http://www.eas-i.co.uk > > > > On 21 Nov 2005, at 14:25, jiho wrote: > > > On 21 nov. 05, at 14:46, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: > >> Jon & Bryce, >> >> congratulations on .43, however would it be correct that "Pressure >> and Tilt Sensitivity" can not currently be enabled for OS X? >> given that the majority of graphics designers and perhaps even >> wacom tablet users prefer OS X, this remains a long term concern. >> >> The Gimp-like application: 'Seashore' is already available for OS >> X with "Pressure and Tilt Sensitivity" >> http://seashore.sourceforge.net/ > > The lack of support for pressure sensitivity in Inkscape (or in the > Gimp by the way) on os x does not really depend on Inkscape itself > but on the X server you are using.

Inkscape Announces 0.43 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org :: Draw Freely.
by Jon Phillips 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Inkscape Announces 0.43 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org Inkscape 0.43 is now available thanks to the work of many developers and the sponsorship of Google's Summer of Code program which sponsored four students to work on features for Inkscape. The main new features in this release are: * Connectors: Objects can be connected using auto-routing lines. * Inkboard Collaborative Editing: You can connect to other Inkscape users over a network and edit a shared document. * Pressure and Tilt Sensitivity: The calligraphy tool may now use a tablet pen with pressure and tilt support. * Better Node Editing: You can now drag, bend, and stretch a Bezier curve by any point and not only by a node. * New Extensions: There are now extensions for envelope distortion, whirling, and adding nodes. * SVG Compliance: There is now additional support for the viewBox element improving SVG compatibility. * There is an online book, "A Guide to Inkscape", available at http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php, which has been updated to cover the 0.43 features. Currently the Inkscape community is working on the next release which will focus on stability and closing bugs. The next release will add an outline viewing mode, a plan towards SVG Tiny compliance, a fill and stroke interface to the bottom toolbar, and more application refinements. Inkscape is open to all types of contributions by people with all different skill levels from around the world. We need translators, web designers, people to help answer questions, and developers to help us reach our goal of SVG compliance. Visit Inkscape.org and come help us Draw Freely. Download Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X packages: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 For many more details, see the complete Release Notes for 0.43: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes043 Community submitted screenshots: http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/ About Inkscape Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML editing. It also imports several formats like EPS, <nowiki>PostScript</nowiki>, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats. Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source community with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool. Additional work includes conversion of the codebase from <nowiki>C/Gtk</nowiki> to <nowiki>C++/Gtkmm</nowiki>, emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added through an extension mechanism, and the establishment of a friendly, open, community-oriented development process.
