Today's a big day: finally I made all dialogs unsinkable, defocusable, closeable, and remembering position across sessions. Well, not exactly all, because I decided that a number of dialogs can be simply removed so I did not bother upgrading them. See the new wiki page:
http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DialogsReorganization
for my plans on what to do with what dialogs. COmments are welcome as always.
So, please test the latest CVS and report any problems. There are probably quite a few of them because there were lots of changes in lots of files.
Other wiki pages created or updated today:
http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TextUsability - specific ideas for the text tool and dialog
http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SecondaryToolbar - this is what's brewing inside BORKEN, and it's cool!
http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PreferencesDialog - we need a big and impressive Preferences dialog, so add your ideas on what to put there
http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?KeyboardProfiles - the discussion on keyboard profiles is now on a page of its own.
Please be more active on the Wiki. All these pages and others will benefit from your input and ideas.
Also, please test drag tolerance that I added yesterday. You may need to remove old ~/.inkscape/preferences file for the new ~/.inkscape/preferences.xml to work reliably (I could not find how the old file can break things, but looks like it does sometimes).
Bulia is developer of the year! This is excellent work. I will look over wiki a bunch. Also, I just installed new crossover office 2.1.0 today and it runs adobe illustrator 10 if anyone wants to test out illustrator and compare Inkscape.
