Jabber logging
by Bryce Harrington 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

We've turned off logging on the Jabber channel, at Ishmal's request. He felt it would give a better sense of privacy for discussions if there were no logs. The logs up until Oct 30 will be kept. We have also added a robots.txt file to prevent google searching/caching of the old logs. Bryce

future node tool enhancements
by Aaron and Sarah Spike 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Can we compile a list of enhancements that people would like to see made to the node tool? Just ideas not necessarily plans. 1) Preserve curve shape as much as possible when deleting nodes. Look into feeding the curve fitting function in bezier-utils.cpp a list of sampled points to find the best single segment approximation. (Recently mentioned) 2) Curve dragging mode in which the end tangents are preserved at least for smooth nodes, so as not to disturb adjacent segments. Look at hacking the current curve dragging function to only apply the component of the motion vector that is parallel to the end tangent (right words?). Don't know how it will behave, mostly just to satisfy a personal curiosity. 3) Segment draging. ie grab a segment with a single click and drag both nodes and the corresponding control points around preserving the curve of that segment. I find I want to do this a lot while doodling but using the rubberband breaks my work flow up. Wonder if it would be useful to people doing real work. Aaron Spike

Libre Graphics Meeting website
by David Neary 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi all, The Libre Graphics Meeting website is online at http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org - it's still pretty sparse, and is powered by spip. If anyone would like to be a writer or editor for the site, please contact me off-list, and I'll sort you out. People with some design sense especially appreciated :) Proposed edits to existing pages are welcome too, but I'm a bit busy at the moment, so becoming a writer or editor's probably quicker :) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary bolsh@...85...

Nope. We already have that. This would be a special case of the same functionality. Aaron Spike

Now, just for the record and Google too: To have the "Whiteboard" menu appear after compiling inkscape with the --enable-inkboard option you should first delete your menus.xml file (in ~/.inkscape/menus.xml) Thanks again...

Hoe to use the inkboard
by Lucas Vieites 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi, I've compiled from cvs enabling inkboard (with the --enable-inkboard parameter at configure time) but now I can't figure out how to use it. Is there supposed to be a new menu or menu item to connecto to a Jabber server?

I'm usually against wasted space, but I think this image block gives the page a little peace and quite. The reader isn't immediately confronted by thick blocks of text. The flag draws together the colors. It could be any object. But the flag is a simple, clean vector. And displaying the magnified version in the background shows resolution independence without adding a lot of noise. Aaron Spike
