fileformat svg+images
by Pim Snel 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Hi, Is there a way to publish a document as package including the images that are linked to the document. It would make it far more easy to send inkscape work to someone per email and also to move documents to other file structures. I know inkscape is able to show a base encoded image but this makes inkscape very slow, so this is probably not the right method. If not would it be possible to create a extention which could save a file as tarball or zip with the images in it? If so I will try to create it? Thanks, Pim -- Lingewoud B.V. | Tel. +31 418 663963 Maasdijk 4 | Fax. +31 418 663053 5328 BG Rossum | pim@...982... The Netherlands | www.lingewoud.com

swatches?
by David Christian Berg 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Hey guys! I don't quite get it. I kinda assume that I'm just not understanding how I can add colours to a custom swatches palette. I mean swatches have been around for quite a while now, but so far I don't see the point in it, if I can't create my own palette with custom colours. Please help me with this. It's important for icon themes, publishing, well everything. Is is seriously not yet possible? David

Xar file format (aka Flare) and Xarlib
by Alan Horkan 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Before I forget.... It seems Xara was at one point trying to compete with Flash and released their Flare file format which later came to be known as Xar. The anti SVG and SWF proganda is almost funny and it is about as interesting as reading a file format specification can be. The Xar specifications are available on the Xara website http://www.xara.com/support/docs/webformat/spec/ There code seems to be available for processing the file format and the terms of use do not seem draconian so it might be possible to make use of it and maybe allow Inkscape to import Xara files. Given how interested bulia is in Xara perhaps he is already aware of this but I hadn't heard any mention of it before (on the list/wiki/bugtracker) and thought it might be of interest.

gtkmm .exe and Windows
by Hal Lorenz 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

Hi there, While not a strictly Inkscape-related question, Inkscape is one of the best gtkmm/c++ apps around (or at least I hope, as I noticed you started with gtk/c), so I thought you might be able to help. I'm experimenting with gtkmm and have the simplest program as outlined in the docs compiled as a Windows .exe, here's the code: #include <gtkmm.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv); Gtk::Window window; Gtk::Main::run(window); return 0; } My problem is that the resulting .exe opens the console Window along with the GUI, Inkscape doesn't do this, and I wondered how you achieved that. I know this list isn't for general Q&A, but if you have the time that'd be great, if not no worries. Kind regards, Hal

gtkmm .exe and Windows solved
by Hal Lorenz 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

Well it does seem I have a knack for asking obsolete questions, although I really was stuck with this problem and Google wasn't helping, it seems a fresh pair of eyes did the trick. The problem was that it was running in the console subsystem, as opposed to the GUI windows subsystem. Solved simply by adding the flag -mwindows to g++. Thanks for Inkscape anyway. ;) Kind regards, Hal

I suspect that "slideshow" being broken probably means that the About box is dead too. Is that right? I get the following crash when opening the Help->About box now: (inkscape:17201): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `(null)' in cast to `GObject' (inkscape:17201): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed -- Kees Cook @outflux.net
