AW: [Inkscape-devel] 0.42.1 status
by Taraben, Adib 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Bulia, I tested just yesterday with Win98 +latest libs and German umlauts in the filename. So I can confirm the non ASCII-filename-crash - the dialog shows the file-name with some cryptic characters (this might be UTF8 for the special character) - opening this chrashes Inkscape - I have not found the place where I can put the filename in a inputline - the very latest gdb 6.3 needs an other lib which only exists under WinNT+above. Adib -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: inkscape-devel-admin(a)lists.sourceforge.net im Auftrag von bulia byak Gesendet: Fr 8/5/2005 08:39 An: MenTaLguY; Bob Jamison; Jon A. Cruz Cc: Inkscape ML Betreff: Re: [Inkscape-devel] 0.42.1 status Update on the open dialog crash: fixed by upgrading to newest libs (thanks Ishmal). However I run into another problem: Cyrillic filenames crash on open in Win98. I traced this down to fp = std::fopen(filename, how.c_str()); in io/sys.cpp, line 169. This fails, so fp == NULL. However, Inkscape::IO::file_test on the same filename works, using g_file_test. So I thought that if I replace std::fopen with g_fopen in the above, it may work. Unfortunately this fails at linking: libinkscape.a(sys.o):sys.cpp:(.text+0x2a7d): undefined reference to `g_fopen(char const*, char const*)' Ishmal: is this function missing in your libs? Can you add it? -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Implementaion of Division Command
by Kevin Wixson 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

What's the reasoning behind Inkscape's implementation of Division as opposed to having two overlapping shapes resulting in three pieces, including the exclusion area of the top (stacking order) shape in addition to the exclusion area of the bottom object and intersection? I illustrated the question at http://www.angelfire.com/mi/kevincharles/inkscape/division.html Thanks, -Kevin

Congratulations on 0.42!
by mike＠...869... 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Hi guys, I just wanted to congratulate the entire Inkscape team on the 0.42 release. I tried the final version and it works really well - in fact I've been using it at work to do some of the graphics for a commercial product we're working on. You guys have one of the best managed and most approachable open source projects around, and you should be proud of that. I'd also like to thank you all for bearing with us as maintainership of the Inkscape autopackage transitioned away from me to Aaron. It's a young technology but judging by the number of people using the Inkscape package, it seems to be working OK. You can see how many people are installing an autopackage for the first time by looking at the runtime download statistics. Notice how much higher todays figure is already than yesterdays (which was the first full day of counting) - and it's only 10:30am! That's the impact of your release: http://autopackage.org/stats.php I'm at work at the moment (so can only play with the Windows build) and have no net access where I'm currently staying, but I'll see if I can take home the autopackage on my mp3 player and test it on my laptop. Finally, I just realised that mail2web.com was breaking threading on the list ... sorry about that. If anybody knows a better IMAP->webmail gateway please let me know. Again, congratulations! I can't wait to see what goodies the next version has in it. thanks -mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Put your menu where your mouth is
by Ted Gould 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Okay, So, for a little project I made all the menus configurable by a file in your home directory ~/.inkscape/menus.xml. They use the verb ids, and you can pretty much move things around how ever you'd like. There are still some rough edges, but it should be stable enough to have people start passing around files of how they'd like the menus for discussion. Then people can try them out. Okay, I'm going to bed. --Ted

Re: [Inkscape-devel] New binary portability problem identified

> The complaint is: > > Error: Package 'Standard C++ library' was found but was of the wrong > version and the correct version could not be located. > > [IV 3 for @gnu.org/libstdc++] > > > Perhaps if I had let it run as root it might have worked. > > autopackage is way cool but it isn't yet working in FC4 in my home > directory as far as I can tell. It's trying to work.... > Mike, any idea what this is about? See this page: http://autopackage.org/help.html The solution is to run "yum install compat-libstdc++-33" as root. Fedora dropping libstdc++.so.5 so quickly and with such blatant disregard for binary compatibility caught us off-guard. A solution for this problem will appear in the next stable release of autopackage (1.0.6), which will come out either: a) At the weekend, if I get time to do it or b) When Hongli gets out of lazy-mode :) Basically the "fix" involves us simply registering an autopackage repository containing the libstdc++.so.X libraries so that if they're missing it can depsolve them onto the system automatically. Thanks for bearing with us while we deal with the mess Red Hat and other distros have made (this change breaks the official Mozilla installer, most games, RealPlayer ... virtually everything). thanks -mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Possible bug in 0.42
by Lucas Vieites 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Hi, I did a fresh install of the 0.42 autopackage from http://www.inkscape.modevia.com/ap/inkscape-0.42.x86.package on my Mandriva 2005 LE. I found the following strange behaviour: - I create a new drawing with a circle. - Duplicate the circle and resize it (the width of the stroke resizes also) - Now if I select the second circle and try to set the stroke width to 1 pt by clicking on the up and down arrows of the width field in the Fill and stroke dialog it only increases the width both clicking the up or down arrow. The increment is also not one by one, but it is a geometric increment: 4,1 -> 6,5 -> 10,4 -> 16,6 -> 20, etc I hope you can reproduce this. -- Lucas Vieites Fariña <lucas@...212...> Web: <http://www.asixinformatica.com/users/lucas/> Blog: <http://www.asixinformatica.com/blog/>

What about aborting rendering if it takes too much time?
by Marc Weber 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

There are some cases when it takes really long to render the screen area (e.g a wire frame with many lines and viewing the whole page).. Is there any way to abort inkscape? It would be nice to switch to another "quality" of rendering if updating of the screen takes longer than x seconds. Because in some cases you don't know when inkscape will finish and undoing/deleting one step might last a time beeing equally long the only way to get rid of such a situation would be killing inkscape.. It should be no problem to switch back if you like.. What do you think?
