Clip Art Browser 0.39
by Greg Steffensen 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

I'm releasing version 0.39 of the clip art browser. Naturally, this is an almost-ready snapshot of the next major release, 0.4. Installation works the same as with past releases, although I don't think Jon's very cool Makefile will work. The two big missing features that will be added for 0.4 are making the "Import Clip Art" gui (it requires threading, and pygtk threading always drives me nuts), and some kind of progress bar during the retrieval of large result sets. For this version, a ton of code was revamped, and the result is a significantly more usable and more extensible product (I think). The interface, in particular, was violently redone. http://sharelinux.org/?q=node/1 You'll have to index your clip art using the indexClipart.py script before using it. Also, for now, I wouldn't reccomend using the ocal_net module with it, simply for performance... once I have a progress dialog, that will be more doable. There's a ton of changes in here, most of which were inspired by the recent thread about the project on this mailing list (in particular, Nathan's xml category-hierarchy idea proved useful). Also, this version is significantly more independent of Inkscape. I'll provide more documentation soon, but check out the config file; you can now have it open up images in arbitrary programs that you specify, all cleanly integrated into the UI. Feedback, as always, is very welcome. I'll try to have 0.4 out by, oh say... Wednesday :). Greg

Hello, First, an explanation. Recent fowlups with my commits not compiling (although they do here) happened because my process here is not fully automatized and single files were not committed. No excuse. Thanks to David, cvs compiles again. I owe you one. Will close the automation gap. Sincerely, ralf

glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer:

We have at least 3 bugs in the tracker with this crash on startup (just search the tracker for "glibc"). Does anyone know what's going on? Is this fixed in 42.1? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

virtual functions in GObjects
by MenTaLguY 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

You can't use virtual functions in GObjects. At all. Introducing a virtual function to a class changes the resulting object layout in a way that is wholly incompatible with GObject. If you need something virtual-like before a class hierarchy has been transitioned away from GObject, you _must_ use the normal GObject mechanisms for that (i.e. adding an entry to the GObjectClass-ish vtable and then writing a (non-virtual) wrapper method that calls explicitly through that function pointer). -mental

Bugs in Stroke Dialog
by John Taber 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

On Inkscape 0.4.2.0, I've run across a few bugs with strokes: 1) With end markers, Left arrow is bigger than right arrow (assuming something like Arrow1Sstart, Arrow1Send) - seems to do this for large,medium,small arrows 2) The entry box for dash spacing will not accept any values 3) The combo popup for line end types gives different choices - sometimes large arrow is available, pick another marker, then large becomes available again. Plus there is often a large blank portion of the combo list.

front page edit
by bulia byak 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

In the spirit of "patch first, ask later", I have edited the intro paragraphs at inkscape.org: added new features, removed mention of GTKmm (it's on hold, and in any case this is a too narrow technical aspect to deserve a front page mention), added more emphasis on usability and general availability (it's not for "open source community", it's for everyone!) and did a general copyedit. Feel free to change :) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

wiki update
by Jon Phillips 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

UPDATE! So, sf.net is completely unsecure now for the web server to write data. So, I have a solution to move the wiki to fd.o and make it work there temporarily. Unfortunately, we are coming to the limits of using sf.net. We need to start thinking about where to move our project, as it is getting quite large and sf.net is too slow, not reliable for real world web-based needs, and we want svn. http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ChangingCvsProviders I will ping the list once the wiki change has happened.
