Hi everybody,
as I upgraded my system to Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard", I tried a new build of inkscape for native Mac OS X - called "aqua".
Building didnt cause a lot of trouble, daring fellows can get it here:
http:// verkehrsplanung.com/Inkscape-r9689-10.5+-PPC.dmg
Attn.: It ist PPC only - dont waste your time, if you have an Intel machine.
I couldnt do a lot of testing - but it looks as if it works quite nicely, but most of the well-known aqua bugs are maintained.
To my feeling, it should not be so much work to get a really useable inkscape aqua - and I assume that many mac people would be happy with it. Sorry - I cannot do any coding - but will be happy to build and test everything.
If somebody happens to have some spare time, he could have a look at:
http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/
ige-mac-integration/GtkOSXApplication could be one topic to begin with.
Else: Here is my bug-list - most of them are aqua-related:

I'll continue praying every bedtime for a mac developer to care for inkscape aqua … (-;
Greetings,
Wolf
Yours, Wolf
