Hmm, so do they want to interview you? I wonder whether it might not be wise to involve the German-speakers among us, to give them replies auf Deutsch. Avoid being misquoted AND mistranslated. ^_- (my own German abilities are pretty weak though) -mental

Printing issues
by John Taber 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

I've found 2 major issues with printing (v .41): 1) getting it to print on my fedora system - lp or lpr won't work - the bigger problem is that users shouldn't even have to mess with lp or lpr 2) it won't print a zoomed image - just the original size 3) while we're at it - how about a way to save the zoomed image size to replace the actual size Gimp offers a much better print dialog box, addressing all of the above issues, can we capitalize on that ?

Adobe buys Macromedia
by bulia byak 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/invrelations/adobeandmacromedia.html I think it's good news for us. There will be people scared or disgusted by the forming monopoly and looking for alternatives. Also, it seems likely that Freehand will be either discontinued or at least downplayed so as to not hurt Illustrator, which means a lot of users will have to migrate. All this gives us a certain opportunity.

Command line extension options
by Carl Hetherington 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

Hi all, Long time no see! It'd be nice if you could pass in options to the EPS exporter on the command line. In other words, I'd like to be able to do inkscape -p '> file.eps' file.svg like I can now, but to be able to specify that I don't want text converted to path. What's the best way to go about this? I'm sure I could add a specific command line option, but it seems that perhaps there should be a more generic way of passing options to extensions. Any ideas? Cheers Carl

Win-Build with GTK-Wimp
by David Christian Berg 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hey guys, today I'll be leaving for Lyon, where I will hold a course on design and public relations. I thought I'd be really cool to have Inkscape as a small giveaway, but frankly unlike gimp the win builds have the standard gtk-theme included, which doesn't really rule that much. What would be cool is to have it build with GTK-Wimp (and my icon theme) I'm not sure, how big of a job that is, but if it's easy to do, I'd really appreciate someone doing this within the next week, so that I can already distribute it. Thanx! David

command line png export and hidden layers in .40?
by Lee Braiden 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

That last release of SVGSlice was pretty poor, I'm afraid. Mixed up the versions of files I had, and since Inkscape is currently crashing on my ppc machine, I hadn't noticed. Anyway, I think it's all fixed, but in the process of testing for a new release, I've noticed that Inkscape 0.40 on my x86 box seems to export the hidden slice layer along with everything else. Is 0.41 the first version to support ignoring hidden layers on command line PNG export, or do I need to start bug hunting this one? I checked the .41 changelog, but maybe that new feature was too small to get a mention? -- Lee Braiden http://www.DigitalUnleashed.com
