Hi Friends, https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/9492/ https://media.inkscape.org/media/resources/file/7-1.jpg Title translates to "dry eye syndrome". If you follow the link, it's an advertisement for some kind of eye drops. Doubtful the image was made with Inkscape. Thanks, brynn

Code style example + FLOSS manual
by Sylvain Chiron 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

Hi all, My work of translating the website into French progresses a lot. Maren: German won't dominate much longer (oh, mamamia, you should hurry!). On this page, in this section: https://inkscape.org/en/develop/coding-style/#file-layout I've noticed the last sentence… which is a bit… alone. It requires a code example, which I couldn't find. Could someone here add it? Also, I see on the TODO-list: https://inkscape.org/en/contribute/to-do-list/ ‘French-to-English translation: A group of French speaking community members wrote a new "Introduction to Inkscape" manual. To enable further translations, we need an English translation of this user centered manual first.’ I am not a good English speaker or writer (I let you judge) but we could do that in two steps: I could start an approximate translation to English and someone could then make a real English text of it (ow, what a tedious work…). Are you okay? Brynn, would you do that? (In any case, I think I am a better translator than Google for French ⇒ English.) (And thanks for your previous replies to my request; I finally chose another manual.) -- Sylvain

report of difficulty uploading to gallery
by Brynn 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Hi Friends, Lazur mentioned to me that he's trying to upload a new filter set to the gallery. If I understand correctly, it won't upload, and the license area becomes red. I've guessed it's because he needs to use a certain license for a filter set, but I'm not sure specifically which one. (Also not sure if that's a correct guess.) He had tried to use Public Domain. (See the Chatbox on the index page of Inkscape Community, for details.) Thanks, brynn

If you do, either tell us all exactly which changes you made, so other languages can be updated by their respective translators, or, if you have the time, you can also just correct / delete the entries in the other languages (for links, this shouldn't pose any language problems). > Also, in this section: > https://inkscape.org/en/contribute/testing/#inkscape-testers > there are three links which lead nowhere.

For contents questions, please always include the docs mailing list, so editors are kept in the loop, too. Kind regards, Maren

Translate the manual
by Sylvain Chiron 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Hello all, I'd like to know how I could translate the most recent version of the manual /Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program/ into French. I looked at this page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DocumentationTranslation#User_Manual Do I need an account on Sourceforge to access the XML document? I tried to checkout the URL with Subversion and it didn't work. Also, the current French translation: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html_fr/index.html indicates that the last release of the manual is 0.15 (and I think that's bad). You should replace this number with 0.16. Lastly, I hope it will be possible to reuse the previous translation easily (otherwise, I probably won't take the time to make a nice translation). Thank you in advance, -- Sylvain Chiron

Website: News plugin revamped
by Maren Hachmann 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

Dear fellow website translators and editors, Martin has spent quite some time on revamping the website's news plugin, to improve the workflow for editors and translators, fix the current bugs which prevented us from editing/translating/creating news, and to make editing the news more comfortable. I really like how it has turned out, but look for yourself! These are the highlights: - News can now be created / edited / translated by accessing an extra menu item in the cms toolbar at the top of the page: It's labelled: "News" ;) (see screenshot) - Excerpts can now contain links, and other formatted content. - The editing interface allows you to use the WYSIWYG editor instead of needing to type in plain html. You can now add links by selecting text, then clicking on the link symbol, and style the text. Images or videos must be inserted via source mode, just like before. - Missing news translations are filled in by their English counterparts There's one known issue, due to a bug in the editor: - double-clicking to edit links will give you a dialog that doesn't allow you to edit anything. It also doesn't allow you to click on any close buttons in the dialog. -> To not loose your changes, just click on 'Save' for the parent dialog, and open it again after that. Instead of double-clicking, you can use one of the following options: - right-click on a link, select 'Edit Link' from the context menu - place the cursor somewhere in the link, then click on the link icon - or, lastly, switch to source mode and edit the <a href="http://example.com">link text</a> element in plain html. And one small inconvenience: After publishing a translation for the first time, you'll get a 404 (page not found) error. You can just remove the wrong (english) slug from the url, and hit enter, then you get to a day archive for your language that shows the article you just translated. Kind regards, Maren

Website editing: Feedback needed
by Maren Hachmann 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi website editors, while looking for something else, I discovered that there is an option to disable pasting anything but plain text into the website's text editor. This can help us prevent the known plugin copy accidents, where copying a plugin from one page to another one results in plugins that are the same on both pages, and when you edit one (i.e. translate it), then it also changes on the source page. But, this comes with some very severe disadvantages: - Formatted text that is copy-pasted looses all formatting (for example headings, bold text, anything). - Plugins cannot be copy-pasted (to move them) on any single page. (as a workaround, this is still possible in source mode) I'm in favour of keeping things as they are, but I wanted to ask for other's opinions. What do you think? Maren

gallery upload quota
by Brynn 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Hi Friends, An Inkscape user I know (Lazur) has created a number of resources and made them available for download. (document templates in the past, and more recently, filters) He usually uses Open Clipart for that, but I suggested putting them on the Inkscape website. Good idea, right? But his reply was a concern about his quota for the gallery. He's not near his quota, but doesn't want the filter files to affect it. So I'm wondering if there might already be a way to address this situation, through some way I haven't heard about. I suspect that website admins have individually increased the quota for certain members (jabiertxof, e.g.). Or do we need to regard this as a new issue for discussion (feature request "bug" report)? It seems like people who want to create Inkscape resources to share) (non-Artwork resources), should be able to upload them, without worrying about their quota. Thanks for your help :-) brynn
