save as .dxf
by archituttle＠...8... 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

Hello. with the last inkscape version, when you save your file as a .dxf file, you lose all the circles forms. Opening this dxf file in Librecad or Autocad, you will see the squares or rectangles but not the circles. Is there any solution? Thanks. Gilles.L.

Animated Rendering Is it Possible
by James Fritzler 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

You might have seen some of those "explainer" videos on the internet that show people drawing on a white board to teach various topics. I have charts and imagery I've already drawn in inkscape that I'd like to animate the strokes and make them into explainer videos. I'm not worried about saving them to video format at this time; only interested in displaying them as animated drawn paths. It seems like all the pieces are there.. the sequence of the paths, the direction of the paths. Does anyone think it would be as "easy" be taking the rendering engine and putting a user defined delay in each path node draw call? Would display buffering have to be disabled? Is that something that a plug in could do in inkscape? or is rendering logic protected from plug ins? or maybe someone else has done this already? Side Note: I did run into similar functionality in an app called queekly, but their rendering is unpredictable. during editing some of my marks got put in a difference sequence. sequence is important in this case. Thanks

Importing an ancient binary vector format
by Nick Fox-Gieg 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Hey, I'm looking to recreate a decoder for NAPLPS, an '80s binary vector format, to restore some art games made at InterAccess in Toronto in time for the 35th anniversary of the project next year. I thought an InkScape import plugin might be a great place to start--I have the NAPLPS spec and examples collected here: https://github.com/n1ckfg/Telidon The holdup is, I've never worked with binary formats before, so I was wondering if anybody had advice how to best start tackling the problem? Thanks! Nick

"Proper" way to avoid function name conflicts?
by Eduard Braun 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Hi all, just stumbled across something again I always wanted to ask the devs more familiar with C/C++ than me: If the same function name is used in two third party C libraries, is there a good way to avoid this name conflict without changing the third party library? Background is a conflicting function name in libwmf and libuemf that caused some crashes [1] and was fixed by Tav by renaming the function in libuemf [2] which works as we have a copy of that library but obviously will cause issues if we attempt to update the library with upstream code at some point in the future. Best Regards, Eduard [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1616844 [2] https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/038293f7984fa8bfd89a0451d3d77fc…

Hi, I am unable to get the stroke width for the path item in "mm", Inkscape::Util::Unit const *const unit = unitSelector->getUnit(); for (std::vector<SPItem*>::const_iterator i = items.begin(); i != items.end(); ++i) { double sw = (*i)->style->stroke_width.computed; double ei = Inkscape::Util::Quantity::convert(sw, unit, "mm"); Please suggest proper way to get. Regards, Sarathy

Gtk3 Trunk/Master Status
by Tavmjong Bah 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

Hi All, At the last Inkscape board meeting I was tasked with looking into the status of our move to Gtk3. I've updated the Gtk+ 3 issues wiki page: wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/GTK%2B_3_issues Here are what I consider to be the big blockers to a 0.93 release from the Gtk3 perspective: 1. Filter Editor dialog rewrite. Our custom Filter Editor dialog is seriously broken with Gtk3. Some work was done at the hackfest on rewriting this dialog from scratch. This needs to be finished. 2. Crash in Wayland with docked dialogs. When Inkscape is run under Wayland and there is a docked dialog, opening a new Inkscape window causes a crash in the GDL code. 3. Icons themes. We've removed our custom icon handling code and now rely on native Gtk icon handling. This means that each icon is now in its own SVG file. In principle this should allow theming to work properly but more work needs to be done. All the icons are currently dumped into one directory. They need to be in put in subdirectories according to the common desktop spec and the Inkscape code updated to use the directories. 4. Icons missing in toolbars. Icons are often missing in toolbars until the window is resized. There are quite a few other major bugs that should be addressed as well listed on the wiki page, some of them may be candidates for blockers. Please give your feedback here and/or on the wiki page. Thanks, Tav
