No, sorry, I didn't realize that is what you wanted. The selected nodes are only really known by the node tool. But, it isn't impossible that they could be exported on a call to an extension. I'll have to get back to you on that. --Ted

Here's what I got from SF admins regarding our wiki. Can someone please do what they tell us to do, i.e. move the wiki data to a writeable location? Our wiki is totally read-only until it's done (and has been for several days already).

Inkboard on win32
by Bob Jamison 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

For the people integrating Inkboard into Inkscape: please put back the commit from last week where the default build does not include the Inkboard files. We really cannot have the default build include those files until it builds flawlessly for everyone everywhere. "Works for me" isn't the same thing. Thanks. (By the way, it looks really good. Nice work!) Bob

i've been attempting to build inkscape from cvs, using source from 2005.08.06. i ran autogen.sh, then ./configure -enable-perl --enable-python --with-xft. all of that went smoothly enough (perl and python were skipped), but i've run across the recurring error below on every make i've initiated. i'm not quite sure whats going on here -- is it an issue with my config or am i missing some library/file? admittedly, i'm not overly experienced with compiling from cvs, but in the past have had no problems with building the tarballs. if it helps at all, here are some vitals: debian GNU/linux i686 automake 1.9.4 gcc 3.3.5 (debian) latest libtools, etc thanks for your help! --seth /* make output and exit errors */ make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/inkscape' Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/inkscape/src' gcc -g -O2 -c libnr/have_mmx.S gcc -g -O2 -c libnr/nr_mmx_R8G8B8A8_P_EMPTY_A8_RGBAP.S gcc -g -O2 -c libnr/nr_mmx_R8G8B8A8_P_R8G8B8A8_P_A8_RGBAP.S gcc -g -O2 -c libnr/nr_mmx_R8G8B8A8_P_R8G8B8A8_P_R8G8B8A8_N_TRANSFORM.S gcc -g -O2 -c libnr/nr_mmx_R8G8B8_R8G8B8_R8G8B8A8_P.S rm -f libnr/libnr.a ar cru libnr/libnr.a libnr/nr-blit.o libnr/nr-compose-transform.o libnr/nr-compose.o libnr/nr-gradient.o libnr/nr-matrix-div.o libnr/nr-matrix-fns.o libnr/nr-matrix-rotate-ops.o libnr/nr-matrix-scale-ops.o libnr/nr-matrix-translate-ops.o libnr/nr-matrix.o libnr/nr-object.o libnr/nr-path.o libnr/nr-pixblock-line.o libnr/nr-pixblock-pattern.o libnr/nr-pixblock-pixel.o libnr/nr-pixblock.o libnr/nr-point-fns.o libnr/nr-rect-l.o libnr/nr-rect.o libnr/nr-rotate-fns.o libnr/nr-rotate-matrix-ops.o libnr/nr-scale-matrix-ops.o libnr/nr-scale-translate-ops.o libnr/nr-svp-render.o libnr/nr-svp.o libnr/nr-translate-matrix-ops.o libnr/nr-translate-scale-ops.o libnr/nr-translate-rotate-ops.o libnr/nr-types.o libnr/nr-values.o libnr/have_mmx.o libnr/nr_mmx_R8G8B8A8_P_EMPTY_A8_RGBAP.o libnr/nr_mmx_R8G8B8A8_P_R8G8B8A8_P_A8_RGBAP.o libnr/nr_mmx_R8G8B8A8_P_R8G8B8A8_P_R8G8B8A8_N_TRANSFORM.o libnr/nr_mmx_R8G8B8_R8G8B8_R8G8B8A8_P.o make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/inkscape/src' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/inkscape' ar: libnr/have_mmx.o: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [libnr/libnr.a] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2

Hello, since people were satisfied with ACSpike's http://inkscape.modevia.com/ap/inkscape-0.42-2.x86.package I closed the bug 1246201, and opened one for the minor error message. More importantly, can the package be moved to the main site so people see it there? Regards, ralf

blendercon2005
by Jon Phillips 17 Aug '05

Is anyone interested in participating in a session at blender con in Amsterdam about inkscape, blender, ocal, etc. interoperability? The conference is October 14-16, 2005 at De Waag in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I'm talking to Ton from the blender foundation about this possibility for this conference and it might be best to get some folks interested in this who live closer than me. http://blender.org/cms/Call_for_participation.373.0.html Ignore the due date for now. I'd like to see who is interested and how to proceed. It looks like this conference is free (food, etc) to presenters/panelists/etc and there is an honorarium.

Havoc Pennington wrote some notes about Canvas widgets http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2005-August/msg00067.html Not sure if he is aware of Inkscape plans to share canvas widget. Someone interested in this area might want to talk to him or respond to that conversation on the gtk-devel list. Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/

pressure sensitivity: tutorial update needed
by bulia byak 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Finally, I just tried the new pressure sensitivity stuff in calligraphy tool (on Windows, as I still can't make it work on my Linux). It works excellent, I don't have a single complaint :) It's a major new feature, much requested by people. So we already have a good reason to release 0.43 :) What is now needed is an update to the Calligraphy tutorial: what the new buttons do, how they interact with the rest of the options, what hardware/platforms are supported, and ideally an example or two of art made with these options. Any volunteers? I'm really too busy now and I don't know when I'll have time for this. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

optimizing doxygen doc usage
by Ralf Stephan 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hello, Does anyone have ideas with the following? Due to usage of server side includes, users of the doxygen documentation[*] have to reload pages on each access. As some files are big, this can put strain on analog lines, and even the server itself, and is simply unnecessary and annoying. Generation of header/footer before transmission to SF is possible since there is no time-critical information in them---just the logo and the usual links on the left and bottom. It would increase traffic from the site that generates the pages by 17000 (files) * 7800 (bytes/file hea+foo) = ~130MB for each upload which is already at ~340MB. By reducing the upload frequency to once per two days, there could be even an overall win. I have tried this idea locally but for some reasons the icons are not included, and at this point my web stupidity began to show, so I am asking you if there is a better solution. Can the header/footer be included once at SF on upload, and the resulting file simply saved as html instead of php? Thanks for your time, ralf
