SPDesktop
by MenTaLguY 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

I just had a look at the SPDesktop code and noticed that you're not inheriting from GC::Anchored anymore. That's not safe. Without the anchor, how is the garbage collector supposed to know that the SPDesktop shouldn't be collected while the desktop widget still references it? Remember that the desktop widget isn't and can't be managed by the collector itself... If you do switch to manual allocation with the collector like that in the future, please also switch to GC::Managed<GC::SCANNED, GC::MANUAL> instead of GC::Managed<>, so the object won't get automatically collected. (GC::Managed defaults to SCANNED and AUTO) -mental

UI::View::Edit
by MenTaLguY 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Okay, whoever decided to derive a view class from Gtk::Window ... that was NOT a good idea. I'm open to suggestions how to split Gtk::Window away from it quickly, because among other things that is preventing us from migrating the UI::View::View hierarchy to the collector. The build is broken until this gets fixed... -mental

duplicate menu label
by Arpad Biro 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hi, In the View menu there are two "Show/Hide D_ialogs" entries - one of them is a submenu, the other is a normal menu entry. The submenu label should be something else.

Re: New Inkscape Goals?
by Alan Horkan 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

> vector transforaitons need to be added to prove inkscape is the best > illustraion package in the world ( it already is but these features are > a must ) Please don't say things like that or I'll insist you prove it... ... and smack you with a great big fish because talk like that is feeding the trolls and asking for trouble. Bad, bad, bad. We look ignorant if we do not know the flaws in Inkscape and if you make grandiose claims like that you can be damned sure there will be no shortage of people willing to point them out. Pride comes before a fall. Don't make the users angry, you wont like them when they are angry. Don't underestimate the importance of a vibrant community and good word of mouth. I have seen other projects go sour and developers discouraged from working on the software because of constant criticism brought on by unrealistic claims. Careless talk has consequences, better to undersell inkscape and let the program speak for itself. - Alan

What is proper transform/scaling behavior?
by Eric Jonas 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Thanks again for Inkscape, it really rocks. Does anyone know what the proper behavior is for scaling objects via transform attributes? Is the stroke supposed to be scaled or not? I figured there would be just one answer, but the svg-rendering programs are all over the map here: http://web.mit.edu/jonas/www/anisotropy/ I ran into this when looking at the PS & PDF output of both Inkscape and Batik; at first it appeared to be caused by people assuming SVG's transformation matrices worked the same way as ps, but then I can't quite figure out what the hell the Adobe SVG viewer is doing... So I'm curious to know what the Right behavior is, or if this is an ambiguous region in the standard... Thanks again, inkscape is amazing... ...Eric

by Adib Taraben 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hello all, I published my current version of the win32 installer on the sourceforge pages. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=9911… Also I published some screenshots how it looks like on my webspace http://www.geocities.com/theAdib/ Look at the installer 0.43 (1) ... (4) I would like to get some feedback on the modularisation/options before commiting this code to the CVS. In this snapshot I packaged only English, german, french, spain, japanese. The installer is available in english and german. To see what functionality has been added pls have a look at http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Win32_Installer Bryce, I dont know how to create a new 'product' but 'Snapshot' was already there. So I used this. Thx, Adib. ---

problem with dialogs
by Arpad Biro 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi, There's a dialog-related problem with current CVS. To reproduce it: 1. "File/Input Devices" -- for me it says "No extended input device", and I get two buttons: "Save" and "Close" -- 2. press the "Close" button (the one in the dialog - not the one provided by the window manager) 3. "File/Inkscape Prefs" 4. close the prefs dialog --the "Input" dialog shows up again-- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Status bar help texts visibility
by Lucas Vieites 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi, last June there was a thread in this list regarding the visibility of the status bar texts. Sometimes the text string is too long to be seen completely, especially on smaller screens. Has there been any more discussion on this issue? Should I file an RFE. I also made a mockup of a possible solution to this problem; a kind of "frame" that can be toggled visible/invisible when necessary by clicking a button or using a keyboard shortcut. (see: http://www.asixinformatica.com/archivos/inkscape_tooltip_mockup.png) Greetings, -- Lucas Vieites Fariña <lucas@...212...> Web: <http://www.asixinformatica.com/users/lucas/> Blog: <http://www.asixinformatica.com/blog/>
