But > this is for inkscape-docs@, perhaps. Yeah it's true. Ivan send me most of his message with Bulia, so i have the story about the mentoring by Bulia and the discover by Ivan. (many, many thanks to Ivan) Also, Ivan is From Belgium, so he speak very well french. That's help us (me?) a lot. It's hard for him to stop discover and write documentation. I think it's our job to help him. First i think we have to open a chapter on FM manual And after open a dialog with Ivan, for the writers do their job on the manual writing what Ivan explain us :-) I'm intersted in doing that. Just now now now it's hard for me, when my red-project was finish. Elisa > > There are some both rendering and non-rendering issues with SVG > Filters.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Inkscape File formats

The only problem with this is that the FM manuals (even the chapters themselves) are supposed to be self-contained as much as possible (to the point that we don't even say something like "as mentioned in xxx chapter"). This is for the ability to remix as well as keep from having to update links that change. Probably the thing we should do is just list all the available formats in the glossary. > All we need to do is decide on which formats are well used. > Personally I have only ever used svg, png and pdf for saving/exporting > and svg, png, jpg, tiff and gif for loading/importing. How's this list: svg (all variations could be mentioned in one spot) pdf xaml (is this available in any windows installation?) png bmp jpg tiff ps and eps dxf (seems to be pretty commonly used with cutters) xcf (gimp native format, definitely important) I think the rest are uncommon enough as to be incidental, and most of these are, I believe, available with a standard installation. We'll just have to weed out those that aren't. Thoughts? JF

Inkscape File formats

by John & Melonie Curwood

Hi Everyone, I've been trying to finish off the FM chapter on working with files, I want to indicate in the manual which formats Inkscape can load and which one it can save. After my last email to the list I started looking at the options on the open and save dialogs. I found some interesting results. some file types I could load or save in my Ubuntu Linux version of Inkscape but not in the Windows version. There was one file type mentioned in the manual that I couldn't find in either the linux or windows version of inkscape (.dia), and there were several file types that could be opened or saved in either the linux or windows version of inkscape, but weren't mentioned in the manual. I'll add the last group to the manual, but what I would like to know concerns the other groups. 1) is there a plug-in that is needed for the .dia file type? 2) why are some formats only able to be saved or opened in the linux version of Inkscape? Are there certain components or plug-ins that are installed with the linux version that aren't with the windows version. I can send through a list of the file types in particular if that helps. Cheers, John Curwood
