We like the flags, Joe, but I'll forward your comments along.

For example you have a mixture of the Union Jack and US flag for English. I don\'t mind the Union Jack representing English, because they invented the language, but when you mix in the US flag it says \"we are politically correct, so we went to a lot of effort not to offend by adding in all the countries that speak this language\". But that creates more offence when you leave a country out. Hint: many more countries outside of US/UK speak English as a first language. > > > > > Joe. > > >

Inkscape Website Re-design Contest - Submissions
by Joshua A. Andler 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Developers, Well, there were a total of 3 entries for the website re-design contest. They are as follows: http://ciberirmandade.org/gatonegro/var/inkweb/ http://gri3fon.95mb.com/scappy/ http://www.deviantart.com/view/22467478/ I figured we could forgo a community vote given the already limited number of selections. Please review each of these and only concentrate on the visual (and usability) aspects at the moment. We can have whomever the winner is (if we decide to use one of the new designs) put more time into it after the fact. My guess is we should vote on a first choice since the selection is so limited. -Josh

Inkboard screenshot and demos
by David Yip 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi all, Here's some Inkboard demo materials: http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yipdw/inkboard/inkboard-screenshot-1.png (1280x1024, 187 kB) http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yipdw/inkboard/inkboard-demo-2.mp4 (H.264 (using x264), 1136x864, ~187sec, 2.1 MB) http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yipdw/inkboard/inkboard-demo-2.avi (H.263 (using XviD), 1136x864, ~187sec, 11 MB) The videos have the same content; however, the video in the MP4 container is substantially smaller (and looks better, IMHO). I'd like to hear if it's playable by other people. (I know a Media Player Classic/recent version of ffdshow setup can handle it, but I'd like to hear reports from users of more "standard" players, i.e. QuickTime Player.) -- David

Text to Path
by Craig Bradney 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi, With the chance of being told to RTFM (whats an M anyway?, I still havent read the Scribus ones!).. Where is the/Is there a Convert Text to Path option in Inkscape? (0.42.2) Why? Because importing text in an SVG into Scribus is ugly, due to a) limitations with our text frame sizes, b) PostScript vs SVG text definitions (IIRC). TIA Craig Scribus Team

>Animation is a pretty Large goal. > > agreed :) >Full SVG Tiny support is a smaller goal, and looking back at implementing >the SVG specifications seems like a good way to refocus Inkscape on its >core goals. > > also agreed. maybe import filters could also be a goal. personally i'd love to see CorelDraw import. But i guess there are other more common formats, and cdr files seem to be hard to reverse engineer. On the other side, CorelDraw has quite a similar user interface, so new users may come from there ;) Well, and if animation will be a goal, then flash import/export couldn't be wrong ;) greets, Caliga

0.43 Status
by Bryce Harrington 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi all, Okay, it sounds like from the earlier discussions that there is a rough concensus to do 0.43 as 100 points worth of RFE's followed by 100 points of bug fixes, then a hard freeze, and so on through the release. I'm going to start counting from Sept 1st for the RFE's, and will begin counting bugs as soon as we hit 100. Should be fun. :-) I'm curious to see how swiftly we can reach the hard freeze point. I'm betting on Sept 15th. RFE ID Pts Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ None yet! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total: 0 / 100 Bryce

keys.xml

Hi, I used the Inkscape keys.xml to make a Gimp keys and mouse reference[1]. Perhaps you are interested in this shortcuts that are used in the GTK file dialogs.
