Hi all, I've just been working on the FM Inkscape manual (the chapter on working with files), and under the Save Dialog section where there is talk about file formats that can be used, I noticed that alot of them weren't available on the dropdown list in the save file dialog. I was just wondering why is that? as it could be quite confusing especially if after reading the manual you wanted to save a drawing as an illustrator SVG so it could be edited in Adobe Illustrator, but when you go to the actual save dialog in Inkscape there isn't an option for Illustrator SVG. Also I've observed that when a 'NOTE' has been added to a chapter sometimes they are just plain text on a new paragraph while other times they have had a border around the paragraph with a pale pink background. I'm quite happy to give all notes a border and background but I guess we need to set a standard so that we don't have mixed uses and inconsistencies throughout the document. Another thing I've seen is a number of comments specifically aimed at Linux users and I think having a set style for any OS specific content would be a good Idea. I hope this doesn't sound like a moan because it's not, but while editing the manual I have noticed a number of inconsistencies whose use hasen't been mentioned in the Writing Guidlines so Before changing all the formatting throughout the document I thought it would be a good idea to establish guidlines for these situations. And it would be great if anyone else has noticed any other situations where we need to establish style guidlines that they mention it and we can establish consistent styles for each of these situations. Cheers, John

Hallo everyone I think the file formats in the save dialog depends on what programs you have on your system. My guess is that Inkcscape check if those programs are available and when you save it to that format, Inkscape will use like libraries from that program to save it into that format. If this is so, we must put a note in the "Working with files" chapter. I have a little problem: I use Ubuntu for all my work, but when I want to use the Internet, I have to reboot into my small Windows installation. I use a nokia 5200 and Bluetooth to make an Internet connection. I've tried everything but I can't get this connection to work on Ubuntu. If someone can help me, please let me know. When you translate a manual on Floss manuals, can you change the chapter's title or does it just stays like the original english one? Regards -- Faith is to believe what you can't see. And when you do, you'll see the unbelievable!

About finnish translations and Hello everybody

Hi This is the first time i post to this list. I've been hanging on the #inkscape channel in irc few weeks with nick mapky. Though I think i have not said much anything in there, but maybe someone has noticed me. I started to wonder what documents would be most urgently need translations to finnish language. I might do some translating. I was looking inkscape codebase some time ago, but it seemed to be over my head, so i was thinking maybe i could contribute in some other ways to the project. I really like inkscape, all though the text tool could be more versatile.

Hi, It would be great to have things like http://translate.flossmanuals.net/bin/compare/Inkscape_ru/ZoomTool?render=s… actually work :) Also, I don't really see how I can revert a change or copy/paste text from a previous revision. Any hints? Alexandre

At the end > of the chapter there's a paragraph and further there is a footer: I really have no idea. IIRC, this is autogenerated. And since Adam doesn't read this mailing list, this question should rather be asked in docs list (which he reads), so I'm adding it to CC :-) Alexandre
