Embed Raster

I was looking at this RFE: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1224283&group_id=9… And I figured I could whip up a quick INX file to make it work as an effect: <inkscape-extension> <name>Embed Raster Images</name> <id>org.inkscape.filter.embedraster</id> <dependency type="executable" location="extensions">embed_raster_in_svg.pl</dependency> <dependency type="executable" location="path">perl</dependency> <effect> <object-type>all</object-type> </effect> <script> <command reldir="extensions" interpreter="perl">embed_raster_in_svg.pl</command> </script> </inkscape-extension> But the embed_raster_in_svg.pl script dies at line 110. My entire knowledge of perl comes from two weeks of playing with it for a project last year. And I am thoroughly confused by the Lord Of The Rings humor embedded in the file. Are there any perl hackers willing to help me make this work? Aaron Spike

Odd issue with copy-cut-paste.
by linux peach 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Hi! I just spoke with bryce on IRC and he told me to go ahead and email the list. I have an issue in inkscape that only happens when I choose an object, copy, cut, and then paste that object back into the same file. Whenever I perform these tasks in a row, the object that I have just pasted disappears in any preview or use mode, such as in nautilus, gimp, gnome-panel, gnome icon themes, etc. but whenever I look at the file in inkscape, the object is still there. I can edit the object, distort it, reshape it, etc. and as long as I do not cut-copy-paste, the object remains visible. And nothing I do after the copy-cut-paste makes the object visible again. I have reviewed the xml files and I cannot see a difference that would make the object invisible. I have included two sample files: the original gnome-fs-directory.svg file, and then the modified gnome-fs-directory-issue.svg file that has a major object that has been copied-cut-pasted, that no longer appears visible. I can repeat this issue on any file with the same results. I've scoured google looking for any hints, and the only thing I could find was regarding Nautilus 2.1.5, and I'm on 2.10.0. Is there anything I can do to repair the object to make it visible again?

xml:space namespace error
by unknown＠example.com 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

The attribute xml:space="preserve" as found on Inkscape's flowDiv causes an XML Namespace Error when being parsed by PyXML's SAX2 reader. Any of my python effects should display this error. Is this our problem or PyXML's? Aaron Spike

Can't select multiple files in file open dialog: Multiple File Open.
by Muthiah Annamalai 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Hello ! Theres a bug listed in SF. BUG ID [1194728]. <BUG> Can't select multiple files in file open dialog I'd like to open (and work on/compare) some documents, which all are in the same directory. I can't just select them using control/shift-clicking, but it's necessary to open files singly. </BUG> I have a patch, that makes it work on the CVS head. It modifies src/file.cpp & src/dialog/filedialog.[h|cpp]. There are 3 patch files, one for each, Im wondering what to do. Please try the patches from https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1223534&group_id=… [Note: The patch is a text file only, but SF says its a binary file etc, just save it and view via a standard editor, firefox doesnt show it].

pre0?
by bulia byak 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

With the flowtext mostly in place, I wonder if we can package a pre0 release now. Not all features are finished yet, but this will make it easier for people to test it. Ideally we should provide Windows installer, static linux build, and OSX package for all prereleases. Thoughts? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Patch - silent option for installer
by Moritz Engel 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

Hi, I would like to deploy Inkscape in a network, but the installer does not support the silent mode correctly. Could you please commit the following small patch to inkscape.nsi When the installer asks wether Inkscape should be the default viewer or editor for svg files, there should be a default value!

NEW: flowed text UI
by bulia byak 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

* Inkscape now features a complete support for flowed text: o Creation of flowed text is simple. Just drag anywhere on canvas (except over an existing text object) using the Text tool to create a rectangular frame. After you release mouse, the frame is created and you can type text into it. o Resizing a frame is as simple as dragging the handle in the bottom right corner to change its width or height. Drag with Ctrl to restrict resizing to horizontal or vertical. Such resizing can be done by Text tool, Node tool, or any shape tool; however, only Text tool also highlights the frame border when a flowed text is selected. o Transforming a flowed text is straightforward. It is selected as a single object including both the frame and the text, and can be moved, scaled, rotated etc. * Dragging with the Text tool creates a regular flowed text object whose frame is internal (does not appear as a standalone object on canvas) and rectangular. You can, however, create a different kind of flowed text: linked flowed text that can use as its frame any existing shape, including non-rectangular ones. It can also use a chain of frames, with the text flowing from one frame to the next one in chain. o To create a linked flowed text, select a text object and one or more shapes or paths, then use the Flow into Frame command (Alt+W) in the Text menu. When two or more shapes or paths were selected, they become a chain of frames for this flowed text. o A linked flowed text is in some ways similar to a clone. It will reflow when the frame is changed, but it is a separate object that can be moved away and transformed independently from its frame. As with a clone, when a linked flowed text is selected, you can use Shift+D in Selector to jump to its first frame (this is useful if the frame is invisible or locked). o Statusbar description of a selected object will identify regular text, flowed text, and linked flowed text as different kinds of objects. * Full on-canvas editing of flowed text is now possible. Just click in any flowed text object with text tool and type - the text will reflow automatically within its frame. Letterspacing and linespacing adjustments (but not manual kerns) work in flowed text as well. * The Unflow Text command (Alt+Shift+W) converts a flowed text into a single-line regular text object, cutting its link to its frame. * Another command, Convert to Text, also converts flowed text to a regular text object, but does this preserving appearance (i.e. all lines are kept where they were). The resulting object does not reflow anymore but it is still editable. It is recommended to use this command if you have flowed text in a document but want it to be viewable in SVG 1.1 renderers. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org
