Hey guys! I just build inkscape from svn a few hours ago and no notice, that I don't have icons and dialogues. Any idea, what I'm doing wrong, or how to fix it? Thanx! David

Well, the dialogues work now and I also have the new UI by default. However, icons still don't work and keyboard shortcuts don't either :( Maybe I should wait for a stable Inkscape build for Debian.

E.g. while it's great to have the text editing finally in the top bar (THANK YOU SO MUCH!) the font selector should be a combobox and not some self-hacked thing

and the bold and italic buttons should be replaced with another drop down where one can choose from the available styles.

OK, another good point you got here. It's just very sad if you are doing professional (in the sense that you know what you do, not in the sense of selling your work) graphic editing. I'm already happy that it's planned to be changed as soon as that is easily possible.

Erik, Are you using Win2k? The only pertinent-sounding articles I could find on the net mention this problem resulting from compiling on XP and running on Win2k. I searched all through the code, especially the net-oriented stuff. The only place where I could find the freeaddrinfo() function invoked was in Loudmouth's (Jabber client used by Inkboard) lm-connection.c. Which leads me to ask a question of the other guys who do win32: Wasn't Inkboard supposed to be disabled for this release? bob Erik Halbert wrote: > I brought down Inkscape-0.43+0.44pre0-1.win32.zip this afternoon.

Apparently your operating system is unaware of the fact that there can be a valid PDF file without compression, i.e. as a plain ASCII text.

Hmm, true, I didn't think that wasn't possible to have the previews in a combobox. The point of my request, was that a combobox is a standard widget and hence is themable to look different from just a text entry and a button, which many themes do. But yes, the font sample is more important, I agree. > > and the bold and italic buttons should be replaced > > with another drop down where one can choose from the available styles. > > We decided against this because this list in the Font dialog is > actually deceptive.

I bet it's easy, just needs to be enabled. Besides you have type ahead find - type a letter and see a drop-down of fonts starting with that name (without previews, for speed). > which you can with a combobox is more convenient.

It is possible to make this widget to display the selected text if there is one, instead of the standard string.

I don't know, what I should get, but I get the same: david@...151...:~/inkscape$ grep root config.h #define INKSCAPE_DATADIR "${datarootdir}" #define PACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR "${datarootdir}/locale"
