There's a mismatch in declarations: desktop-snap.h has the last argument of _free_snap as const, but *.cpp has it without const. Please fix one way or the other.

Done.
My apologies to other inkscape-devel readers for forgetting to compile before that last commit.
pjm.

I am using Win32 builds. I have three versions running. The "0.36-pre0" build, the "0.36Final" build, and Bob Jamison's "20-12-03" build. All of these have an identical "About Inkscape" screen showing the now out-of-date "0.36-pre0".
This screen should reflect the actual version status. eg. 0.36 build 20-12-03.
Could this be done so that it is automatically updated?
This would be nice.

PS. Thanks Bob for supplying the 20/12/03 build. _______________________________________________

Yes, in fact it used to be automatically updated, but for 0.35 I replaced the about dialog but, not realizing that there was code to update it automatically, changed the syntax of the file in a way that made it no longer work. Fortunately, once this was identified, Mental fixed it so it will automatically update again, so we shouldn't have this problem in the future.

Hey, since you have all three versions on hand, can you report on how well they each work?
Thanks, Bryce

I guess I am just being picky. However, some thoughts on this.
Firstly, the screens now read "0.37cvs" and I reckon it should be "0.36cvs". Secondly, they still do not have the build date. Since builds are coming out frequently (thanks Bob) and I often have three versions open at once I would like to check up on which is which. Ie I would at least like to see "0.36cvs 1227" for my latest version.
Since I am being picky what about going a bit further and simply going to "Inkscape031227"? The advantage of this is that all downloads will sort themselves sequentially.
Bob, your current Inkscape1227 is great but....come next week what is it going to be? Inkscape0101?
When you have deliberated can Mental fix it so that it is so?
thanks guys, the present incarnation is very smooth, vellum

I personally want numbers like (for CVS builds leading up to 0.37) 0.37cvs20031228.
The version number is the second argument to AC_INIT(); as a matter of policy, I would ask folks doing CVS snapshot builds to add the current date to the version there before building.

Ok, will do. Is it still necessary to do INKSCAPE_VERSION = VERSION
??

Done. I considered adding the hour of the build, the way Mozilla does it, like Inkscape04010218.exe, but, hey, that's just a bit too obsessive. ;-) Someone please give today's build (29th) a try, as there are new gtkmm dependencies, and I also experimented with stripping the debug symbols out of the DLLs to reduce the size. I hope that doesn't break anything. It reduces the download size by 3MB, and the unpacked size by 16MB.
It is at 8MB now. I need to look at the GTK stuff that is being included in the package. I'm sure we don't need everything. Currently we are delivering the whole /lib/locale dir, which I'm sure is massive overkill. However, it did generate some Russian for Bulia!
This is what I mean by the 'download factor.' All of the libraries that we can assume will be on someone's Linux box, will not be on other OS's, and we must provide them in the install.

Ok. I know it's the silly season but can someone tell me where the nudge control distance setting for the arrow keys is located? I want to control the distance setting as the current default one is too high. There must a control surely but I cannot find it.
While I'm on nudge I notice that operation of nudge seems a bit erratic on occasion. Sometimes an object does not nudge with the arrows until it has been moved manually with the mouse. When it happens none of the arrows work. I'll try and document more precisely when it occurs.
This is Win32 build1229.

In the real world of drawing pictures I often group objects and then put groups within groups etc sometimes many times over. Commonly I have many composite groups floating around. Now, if I need to modify something buried in a composite group it can be a real pain getting back down to it. It would be very useful to have an "Ungroup All" command to complement "Group" and "Ungroup".
This would not only help getting to the object to modify but it enable regrouping of the individual objects to be carried out as well.

Not a bad idea - please post to the Feature Request tracker on the SourceForge page. http://sf.net/projects/inkscape/.
Thanks, Bryce

Thanks Bob and others(?) for the date number on "About Inkscape" screen. This should keep me happy till 2004.
