I'm still unsure of the right term. Please whoever cares about this, fix it!
Extract one image:
Dialog is confusing. It asks for "Path to save image". I initially
though that it would get the file name out of the SVG file (maybe from the id name). The dialog would be more clear if it said "Filename (with path) to save image". (Aaron points out that it would be even better if it used a file chooser dialog.)
Agreed
Flatten Bezier:
"Flatten Path" is the name used in the release notes.
Since it works on the entire path, I think the latter is more correct.
Radius Randomize:
Minor quibble: The "normal distribution" generated isn't really a
normal distribution (as you would find in the error of measuring the position of a point). The x and y coordinates should be uncorrelated and thus one should write:
x += abs(random.normalvariate(0.0,0.5*r) y += abs(random.normalvariate(0.0,0.5*r)
Looks like you're right, I'll fix it
Latex Formula:
pstoedit must be installed with the SVG plug-in. The plug-in is
shareware and only available for Windows and Suse Linux 9.3 using g++ 3.4.5. (See: http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit.)
It works with the "unregistered" version of it too, I tested it. So far I think we have nothing better to use instead.
Fretboard Designer:
These effects should really be grouped in a submenu under Render.
Yes.
Effects menus:
The new organization of the Effects in submenus is great improvement!
I think I would have approached the problem of implementation differently. Rather than embed menu structure inside the effects, it might of been more interesting to extract the menu structure from a directory structure, obtaining the names of the menus and of the effects from the names of the directories and the inx files respectively.
Agreed, it would be much better this way.
