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

Cleaned-up inkscape windows icon
by Bob Jamison 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi, all. I got weary of looking at that amateurish 32x32, 16 color icon that I made last year, which overlaps the boundaries and has a white (not transparent) background. I tried several times, and got a better-looking icon, inkscape32-16.ico. Here is a comparison of the new and old icons: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/files/icon-screenshot.png I made a build with it: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/builds/Inkscape0504171202.zip Not being an artist, I just fixed the size, background, and contrast. If someone has an icon editor (I used Borland's) and would like to work on it, please give it a try. Using an icon editor, and not a regular image editor, is important, since it will impose the restrictions that a .ico file should have. Bob

Crash with SVG file as argument
by Jean-Francois Lemaire 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hello, Whenever I try to launch Inkscape with an SVG file as argument it crashes and I get the message "emergency save activated" With any other type of file it doesn't crash. Does anyone notice the same behaviour? I'm running Inkscape CVS compiled with --with-gnome-vfs under SuSE Linux 9.2 if that makes any difference. Jef

Strange, so sort of a PC World type publication. From the website it looks very Windows focused. Odd that they'd want to include Inkscape, but probably a good thing. Guess we can use this as an opportunity to do some GPL education. I'll work up a response for this over the weekend. Are there any fluent German speakers that would like to help me in doing a translation of what I write to include? Bryce

Re: [Inkscape-user] Exporting as PS

Sorry I wasn't quite clear. Here's a sample SVG with a rect and a text, both having the same gradient, and the EPS exported from it (without converting text to curves). In EPS, the text object has the same gradient fill code as the rect, yet rect shows the gradient but the text is black. So my question is, what's wrong with our PS in that case, and can it be made to work at all?

Hi, You might like to take a look at crossplatform image editor Pixel32 (Windows, Linux, etc). It has very interesting tools for slicing. http://pixel32.box.sk/ Alexandre

Project status - April 15
by Bryce Harrington 16 Apr '05

16 Apr '05

Project Status - Friday, Apr 15, 2005 ------------------------------------- Well, another month with no SourceForge statistics, but the other stats we collect show steady growth for the project. Interesting to see that our linecount has been reduced a few thousand lines over the past month. Mental has been doing a bunch of code cleanup, so I would guess this has caused some linecount reduction. Several folks from the Open Clip Art Library have started a 'Planet' site for aggregating RSS feeds from developers in various graphics projects. http://openclipart.org/planet/ We're still in deep development mode. In addition to Mental's major cleanup work, Bulia has been continuously adding cool new features, Bryce is working on hooking up a Gtkmmified canvas, Jon Cruz is inventing new Panel and Palette metaphors, Cyreve is busily revising the text layout system, Peter has been fixing bugs and adding helper ffunctions, Jean Lemaire has made some improvements to the layer commands, Jon Philip has been helping with gtkmm on the Dialog Manager code, and probably more that wasn't listed in ChangeLog. There's been a rise in scripting interest lately, and I understand work is underway in writing an Inkscape manual. Hopefully we'll see more of such side activities in the coming months. :-) Statistics Feb 15 Mar 15 Apr 15 ========== ====== ====== ====== Lifetime Rank on SourceForge: * * * * * * Max Week's Rank on SourceForge: * * * * * * Total SF Page Views * * * Total SF Downloads * * * Total Freshmeat URL Hits 16,448 17,186 17,930 Total Freshmeat Subscriptions 169 173 177 Lines of Code in src/: 333,139 342,852 340,515 Code lines 234,651 241,177 238,522 Comment line 58,239 60,354 60,382 Blank 46,859 47,978 48,152 Lines of Docs in doc/: 26,848 26,848 26,848 Lines of content in website: 9,776 10,067 35,937 Size of the Inkscape wiki: 24,925 25,900 26,363 Bugs open/total: 155/972 182/1047 194/1126 Features open/total: 370/579 397/ 619 429/ 671 Patches open/total: 5/167 7/ 173 5/ 186 CVS Commits (as per inkscape-cvs) 10,312 10,868 11,368 Inkscape-devel membership: 151 158 166 Inkscape-announce membership: 169 177 189 Inkscape-user membership: 193 220 234 Num Translations: 33 33 33 Ave Translation Ratio: 47.8 45.0 47.5 * - Statistics unavailable
