Initial abort() ability during tracing
Hi all...
I added some hooks to the tracer to be able to update the GUI while in the midst of heavy processing, and to catch an abort() if the user hits the Stop button. I checked in an initial ability to do this.
(Yes, I know that there are no status messages, the buttons don't make a 'clicky' sound when you hit them, there is no hour glass 'busy' icon, no multi-colored progress bar, etc, blah, blah, blah, all that other silly stuff. I just want to make sure that abort() works ;-)

What is the current state of getting pdfs from Inkscape using Win2k? As far as I can see on a quick read, the best way for Linux users to go is with Scribus but that looks like a hairy way for Win users and not worth the effort at this stage. I have used some of the pdf print drivers and the results are woeful. Win2pdf is aweful, JAWS PDF is aweful. Have any win users been successful in this area? I've even pulled files out of Inkscape and put them into CorelDraw and output CDpdfs but again results are lousy. In fact even getting them into CorelDraw is a hassle. Any suggestions?

Our PS output is very limited (no gradients/transparency) but what it does, it does correctly. So for simple documents it's quite suitable. And for converting to PDF, I use ps2pdf which usually gives good results. It's part of Ghostscript and is available on Windows too.

If you can get the images into a recent version of OpenOffice, that might work. I have been impressed by its PDF export.

I am getting the following message when I invoke the save dialog with win2k.

Hi Bob and others, The Gtk-critical messaage that I reported a couple of days ago is still coming up all the time for me. Latest build (11th Oct) still has it.
cheers, vellum.
Just open Inkscape and "save as".

Heh! Well, reminding won't help. ;-) What -would- help would be if you could run Inkscape.exe in gdb, and put a breakpoint on that line #. We could find the problem a lot faster that way, and it would be much appreciated. It would be something like this:
(Fyi: Inkscape_stripped.exe is fairly useless for testing purposes.)
c:\inkscape> gdb inkscape.exe GNU gdb 6.2 Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions.

(gdb) break gtksystemwin32.c:578 No source file named gtksystemwin32.c. Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y <---ONLY IF IT ASKS
Breakpoint 1 (gtksystemwin32.c:578) pending. (gdb) run Starting program: /home/rjamison/ink/inkscape/src/inkscape [New Thread -150388064 (LWP 8506)]
...when it hits that line, it -should- stop. When that happens, at the prompt type:
(gdb) bt
Then send the output to this list. It will help us immensely in finding the cause of that message. If it doesn't stop the program, well, you tried, and we appreciate the effort.
Thanks!
Bob
