host reorg
by Ralf Stephan 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Hello, a quick glance tells me there is no RFE I as beginner with the code could possibly implement in short time, so I want to offer my help in the host reorganisation away from SF. Maybe people can use this thread also to collect things that have to be done in this regard. My limitation is that I have no broadband internet, nor a 24h line at my hands, though. But surely there are other things to do. I want the switch, badly, and I think it is more important than RFEs. ralf PS: no flames or RFE discssions please in this thread

Not having looked deeper, it appears that somewhere we don't check for null pixmaps. I'll file a bug on that. Thanks for your report. ralf

planet charset to utf8?

Perhaps someone should change the characterset for planet.inkscape.org to utf8. The recent polylingual news posts don't display properly in my browser. Aaron Spike

Re: Makefile for clipartbrowser
by Greg Steffensen 12 Sep '05

Wow, thanks a ton! I'll use your Makefile to help myself learn how the work better, so that hopefully I'll be able to keep it updated myself in the future. Running "make dist" currently produces an error though: # Copy in all dist and package files to both /bin/install -c -m 644 AUTHORS ChangeLog DESIGN COPYING clipartbrowser.glade clipartbrowser.conf packages/clipartbrowser- /bin/install -c -m 755 clipartbrowser clipartbrowser.inx indexClipart.py indexClipart.py packages/clipartbrowser- /bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `packages/clipartbrowser-/indexClipart.py' with `indexClipart.py' make: *** [distprep] Error 1 Cool...you should check out the Makefile to see how to add files to it, > etc. Also, make sure to update the new ChangeLog with any changes before > committing.

Thanks a ton; I'm thrilled to hear that. I'm going to slightly refactor the code to make it easier to use a QT or GTK interface, so that I can release a QT version too. Greg

clipartbrowser
by Jon Phillips 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Heya, Greg and others... I finished the Makefile for packaging and installation for clipartbrowser (check out from cvs as module: clipartbrowser). Please check it out and test it out. Greg, I think clipartbrowser.py should be renamed clipartbrowser, and then it needs to be installed into /usr/bin Right now everything is by default getting installed into /usr/share/clipartbrowser I removed the installation into Inkscape's extensions directory and focused on just getting the Makefile to build zip, tar.gz, tar.bz2 and make install and uninstall working. Please check over so we can do the first release of clipartbrowser under the Inkscape project and add it to the main sf.net Inkscape page. There is still more to do, but these changes should move it closer to being a nice good linux citizen standalone from Inkscape.

Translated website
by Daniel Stiefelmaier 11 Sep '05

11 Sep '05

Hi Guys! :) I talked to bbyak and he told me, to ask here if it is possible to have a localized version of www.inkscape.org, like www.inkscape.org/de/ I guess, the the News are stored separatedly, so a translated page could use the original messages until they are translated, too. Maybe one of the spanish users (must be some of them :) ) is willing to translate the website, too, so it's worth the effort. :) I made a concept of how a the translated website could look like. It's here: http://inkscape.org/doc/basic/tutorial-basic.de.html Greets, Daniel

Inkscape crashes on "Object - Transform" with "QT" theme on kde
by unknown＠example.com 11 Sep '05

11 Sep '05

Hello, I set my kde to theme all gtk2 apps with its own theme which is baghira. If I run inkscape under this setup and go to Object - Transform inkscape crashes with this QPixmap: Invalid pixmap parameters QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap QPainter::setPen: Will be reset by begin() QPainter::setBrush: Will be reset by begin() Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org<http://www.inkscape.org> with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Segmentation fault So it is the fault of my themes and such and maybe being too cutting edge but I also figured out a fix for it I put this into ~/.inkscape.theme "include "/usr/share/themes/Mist/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" style "user-font" { font_name="Arial 12" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" gtk-theme-name="Mist" gtk-font-name="Arial 12" and then run inkscape like this GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.inkscape.theme /usr/bin/inkscape So inkscape uses the Mist theme and everything works fine!

Deleting a node with Ctrl+Alt+click
by Jean-Francois Lemaire 11 Sep '05

11 Sep '05

Hello, I've just noticed that one can delete a node from a path with the node tool by Ctrl+Alt+clicking it. This is so useful I'm surprised I don't see this mentioned in the Release Notes for 0.43. Was this already working before the /extremely useful/ recent additions to node editing? Also, I don't understand this, also in the Release Notes: "As in Selector, if you press Shift before starting to drag, you always get a node selection rubberband rectangle (even if you start on a path [but not a node!])." P.S. If double-click creates a new node, shouldn't double-clicking a node delete it? -- Jean-François Lemaire
