Some elegant Element Renaming in Inkscape (0.41)?
by Jay Vaughan 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

hi all, i am a very happy user of inkscape for all my SVG needs, and have been using it for the last few releases very happily. thank you for all your hard work, you make wonderful things possible! one thing that i haven't been able to work out how to do, is properly name my objects. i use SVG as a design language, and elements in my SVG document need to be named certain things .. this "rect123" business doesn't really cut it. usually, i just hand-rename things, but lately i've found that there are some objects for which this method just doesn't work. how difficult would it be to add a feature in inkscape where you can select multiple elements, and then type in a 'name template', and have that applied to all objects? for example, i've got "circ1823", "rect123" and "object23" all selected; i want to group these together and give them a common name scheme that looks like this "object-01", "object-02", "object-03" .. i remember in some editing apps (was it Canvas or illustrator, i forget) you could multi-select a group of objects, hit 'Rename', and enter C-like expressions for renaming, like "myobject-%d" where %d would be replaced by the # of the object in the list of the selection. another thing that would be handy is 're-order group', where a group is selected, and you can re-order the name of the elements ("id=" tag) automatically.. is that feasible? should i look at making an extension to do this renaming automatically, would that be the easiest way, or maybe there's a secret hidden feature of inkscape already that allows you to do renaming such as this? -- ; Jay Vaughan

moving autopackage into cvs
by unknown＠example.com 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Now that I have finally built an autopackage, I think it would be best to move the autopackage configuration into cvs and work on it from there. By default autopackage expects to find /cvsroot/inkscape/autopackage. But it should also work with /cvsroot/inkscape/packaging/autopackage if makeinstaller is run with the path as an additional parameter. Are there any opinions as to whether or not I should add this and where it should go? Mike walked me through some changes to configure.ac, in order to get the autopackage to build. http://www.ekips.org/comp/inkscape/inx/autopackage.diff As I understand some of those changes are just temporary tweaks. Could someone please comment on the significance of these changes? Is there a way to merge this with CVS without breaking anything? Aaron Spike

Just renaming is trivial, what is more difficult is updating all references that reference this element. But this is all doable in an extension, I think. > another thing that would be handy is 're-order group', where a group > is selected, and you can re-order the name of the elements ("id=" > tag) automatically.. I'm not sure how reordering is related to names. Can you give an example? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

verbs.h and dialogs
by Bryce Harrington 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Hi Bulia, I notice that you're working on adding a capability to set the dialog titles based on their verbs, however I notice that this is requiring adding a verbs.h include to each of the dialog .cpp's. I'm concerned that by doing this, it's going to cause the dialog code to be recompiled extremely frequently, since verbs.h changes relatively frequently (77 revisions recorded). Bryce

> Hi Jose, > > Interesting proposal! Can you also include in your proposal a > description of what this will be used for? > > Bryce Well, I don't know exactly,but something like: -Create a open sound standard, for the web, not dependent of anyone,(inkscape is far better graphic editing than audacity) easily editable.This could be useful for creating multimedia in inkscape.(animations?) -Explore independent axis representation. It's far easier to adapt beziers to single axis strokes than multiple ones at once. This could be useful to add tablet support for inkscape,paths for animation... -Explore inkscape limits,I expect inkscape to hang with some audio seconds.(44000samples/sec are a lot) -Create your own artificial sounds. -You own your sound data.You could use scripts to play with them. Extract characteristics (search) very easy.(length,area,shape...) -Use graphic techniques(scripts) with sound.Sound ones with graphics. -Be able to mix various sounds if you put one above the other. -Explore my own limits.

svg sounds
by Jose Hevia 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Well, here are my two cents google summer of code proposal Make a program that reads a .wav file and converts it to a svg drawing. It will make a graph with: -A center line, representing 0 wave pressure. -An upper and lower limit line. -A graph of pressure axis. Nothing more than consecutive line joints. Well this is easy. It will make a svg sound file (resolution independent). Then make a program that reads this drawing and take sound samples at a given sample rate.(svg->wav). (Harder). Problems: -inkscape(v.0.41) rulers (0,0) start at bottom-left. It seems it understand internally (0,0) as upper-left. Rulers say >0 is up and right, internally down and right. -strange px units. I would like to speak as cm, inches... -Use a library to understand wav or read directly. -Memory structures management.Done. -Make a svg-sound-parser.Search and read a svg-sound element. -Generate wav.(easy). Well, I'm making it anyway, but if someone could pay me for it(google), it will be much faster :-) Jose Hevia

Help on compiling.
by Muthiah Annamalai 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Hello there! Ive got Inkscape-0.41 tarball,[not from CVS]. Then Ive filledin the dependencies gc, gtkmm, libsigc++, etc. I configured with all extensions perl,python, disabled binary relocation, and used gnome-print. Now the whole code compiles well, but I get a link error in the final stage[duh!] of making ./inkscape program itself. There was some errors in ./extensions/internal/ is not able to find references to 'GnomePrint::comment()'. Well Im trying ./configure without gome-print, and other combinations. Anyway, do let me know if there are any known issues. Thanks Muthu. __________________________________ Discover Yahoo! Have fun online with music videos, cool games, IM and more.

translatable template name
by bulia byak 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Attention translators: I just made the name of the default template, default.svg, translatable. This means it will show up in your po files. If you are OK with the current default template, you don't need to do anything. If however you want to make a different default template for your language - for example, translate the name of the default layer or change page size - just "translate" default.svg into, for example, default.de.svg, create the default.de.svg file with your changes and commit it into share/templates. -- bulia byak Inkscape.
