@Martin Owens https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web/+bug/1258842 You are not as disappointed as I am with you. Irregular is right. How dare you speak to me this way. You were clearly told, before you went ahead and made the page live, that I did not have a working picture plugin. I am not responsible if you do not provide the tools needed to upload image files. It was and/or ought to have been clear to anyone with eyes to see, that the test page relied on external links, and you were directed to this fact. Further, I did not ask you to download files from my web-site. In fact you downloaded the said files without asking, and without my consent. Is this how you generally behave, and treat artists? If so, shame on you, and shame on you for doing it to me. I provided links to those resources only, and not the resources themselves, Inkscape have no claim on them, or right to host those image files. Please remove them, and please refer this matter to the Board. It seems to me, it was a very small thing indeed, especially in the circumstances to ask that someone replace dirty files with clean ones, not least because I did not have the tools, and/or permissions to replace them at that time. We were so close to getting the thing right, and your hostile reaction is totally innapropriate. I have put a lot of hard work into this project, and I have had few thanks for doing so. As a reward for my effort, you have taken artwork which does not belong to you, and in addition you removed my editor priviledges. I cannot trust, or work with you again. Whatever your problem is, it should be with yourself with who you are disappointed, and to be treated and spoken too, by you in this way, is wholly unacceptable. Thanks to you, I have deleted, the guides, and viewBox extension files from my resources directory. I am more dissapointed than you can possiblt know, or imagine, and you can of course file your own bug report. I will not be the assignee for the 'No page for vectors vs. Bitmaps' bug, thank you. -u ---- On Fri, 02 Sep 2016 16:23:22 +0000 Martin Owens <doctormo@...2...> wrote ---- @ugajin - The files you provided on the page were published as live.

Shield data left
by Sylvain Chiron 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Re, Shield data has gone; I provided it again, using my local instance data, in the English page, so that most users don't notice the bug — ;). Translated shields are still blank: https://inkscape.org/de/ https://inkscape.org/fr/ https://inkscape.org/es/ https://inkscape.org/pt/ https://inkscape.org/pt-br/ https://inkscape.org/ru/ https://inkscape.org/ja/ https://inkscape.org/zh/ https://inkscape.org/ko/ I don't know if the data will be restored automatically (I can provide all the translations except European Portuguese as it was translated too recently), but before it is, I have a question: Duarte, it seems you are the artist who drew /Sunset/, the banner for the ‘Learning Resources’ tab. The credit link to your art (in the bottom left-hand corner) is dead. Can you provide a working one please? -- Sylvain

Oh, yeah, I played with the Page Settings, trying to have identical data on all languages. But I played with the website yesterday after 7 am, time of my last edit, and I'm pretty sure it still worked… Anyway, I'm here to fix. > Unfortunately, the history of the page doesn't go back until your first > edit yesterday, so reverting might not work as expected. I thought reverting's always been a fake feature to make us believe that Django CMS is something serious? See the paragraph just above this section: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Edit_an_existing_translation By the way, maybe it should be moved in ‘Known issues’? > Unless Martin does a revert, I think it would be good if you could > reinsert the things that have been lost (yeah, I know, it's a lot of > work... :/ At least, that gives us a chance to also update Duarte's > link...). Yes, and have absolute links starting with / instead of inkscape.org, so that they also work on local instances (trying to be positive). > Would you have the time to do that or would you like some help? I have the time, yes. At first, I thought that the translators could help too, but it's not really a lot of work, I just have to copy the shield from the English page again and update the texts.

Shield data left out

Hi, I don't know whether or not I'm responsible (that would be very weird) but it seems that the shield tabs and banners have gone, leaving a blank area on the homepage, both in draft and published versions: https://inkscape.org/en/ Would somebody know why? Martin, are you working on it? -- Sylvain

Help please?
by ugajin 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

I have been working on a new extension called viewBox..., which is awaiting upload to the Inkscape addons gallery. It is available for preview here: http://ugajin.co.uk/sketchbooks/viewBox/viewBox/viewBox.html, with a bunch of supporting documents. The problem is what to do with the supporting documents (I do not want to host them on ugajin.co.uk). Whilst, I may upload the extension files, without the supporting documents and/or providing a link to them, this seems to me to be the wrong approach. The viewBox and its sibling attributes are one of those things, which are not be easily accessed in Inkscape, and those cutting their teeth writing SVG using Inkscape may benefit from the supporting documentation. Thank you for considering matters. -u

Bitmap/Vector doc
by Jeremy G 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Hi, Thanks to Sylvain, I saw on an french task list (1) that a clear explanation of the difference between a bitmap/raster file and a vector one was wanted for the website. I also read a part of the conversation on the bug report page (2) (not everything as the discussion is quite long :) ). If it's still on the todo list, I just wanted to mention that the Mapschool page (3) has a short paragraph that explains the difference between both. As it's licenced under CC0, it could be partly recycled for the Inkscape website. I'm available to help on this topic, but as I don't really know where to start, a quick heads-up would be appreciated! Best, Jeremy (1) https://inkscape.org/fr/contribuer/liste-taches/ (2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web/+bug/1258842 (3) http://www.mapschool.io

Website, ‘Learn’: Ordered tutorials and underlined manuals
by Sylvain Chiron 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Hi all, Two things have questioned me for a while in the ‘Learn’ part of the website. The first is, why are the tutorials in a different order from the Inkscape program tutorial submenu's? I guess they're ordered by publication date on the website, but this detail is quite obsolete now; so could I reorder the tutorials on the website to match the order in Inkscape's ‘Tutorials’ submenu, which is a bit more logical? Second thing: why are all 3rd-level headings on the ‘Books and Manuals’ page underlined? Here, my thought is that it was initially decided to underline the books' titles. But the keyboard shortcut and command line references are not really books bound to an author… I would also recommend that we use italic, as those thick lines have a look which is a bit hard. Then we would have Tav's manual and the book in italic. By the way, aren't there more books about Inkscape? On Packt Publishing's website, I see there are at least 4 books: https://www.packtpub.com/all?search=inkscape One of them is evoked in an old news article on the Inkscape website: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2011/04/30/inkscape-048-illustrators-cookbook-… Maybe we should have a single heading for all books on Packt Publishing to avoid promoting it. Let me see… Among the 4, 3 are by Bethany Hiitola and list her (or his?) book with bullets. We could also have a subsection for Bethany and another for the cookbook. What do you prefer? For my two things, I'll deal with all languages (unless anybody wants to help). For the books, I'll call the help of translators as the text will change. -- Sylvain

change "Addons" in Download menu?
by Brynn 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hi Friends, Is there some reason that we don't change "Addons" to "Extensions" in the Download menu? I think I might have asked this a long time ago, but I can't remember the answer, or where I asked it (to search). Thanks, brynn

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Features + FAQ
by Brynn 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Ok, yes. I'll have a look :-) I did wonder why the extra anchor or question was made. I would have just added a couple of extra sentences to the answer for FAQ #1.5. The reason I have that thought, is because it is in the General section. This is the section where we want to make Inkscape sound like a great program. And "Why does Inkscape only export PNGs?" as a question by itself, doesn't seem to fit with the other general type of questions. It makes it sound like it might be a bad thing about Inkscape. It seems like it would belong more in the How-To section, if it is a separate question. (Or maybe it would be "How to export JPGs?") But I understand that sometimes it is a fine line, whether a question belongs here or there. If everyone else agrees about the organization, I'll just check the text, and leave the format alone.
