content manager / editor in chief position
by Megan Ferguson 31 Jan '21

31 Jan '21

Hello! My name is Megan, I saw you had a position open for an editor and content manager for the website. I know that I am exactly the girl you are looking for to fill it! I would be a perfect fit for Inkscape. I am an extremely positive, creative and intelligent woman. My superior customer service skills stem from the fact that I have a genuine interest in people and I thrive on being helpful. It's always my goal to leave others feeling happier and more satisfied than they did before our interaction. For an employer, this means I always go above and beyond in any task! I have experience leading a team, I enjoy reading and editing, and am very literate, both verbal and written. I am very adept with computers and the internet, I can type 65 wpm, and I know how to use programs such as Adobe illustrator, Photoshop, Microsoft office and excel, as well as many others. I have an innate understanding of successful marketing via blogging and social media platforms and have managed the Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts of a business, and actually helped to improve and grow their following and sales. I possess excellent communication skills and am very well spoken. I have wonderful grammar, and I excel at speaking over the phone. I am a very positive and upbeat girl - always full of energy and enthusiasm - but that certainly doesn’t mean I’m unprofessional in my speech or mannerisms at all. I have been told that there is a certain glow or a radiance about me, and I know it because I have such a zest for life, and for my work! I am the perfect person for this position, and I'm sure after reviewing my information you will wholeheartedly agree! Thank you so much for your time, Megan Ferguson

wiki access
by Epper Marshall 01 Dec '20

01 Dec '20

So I started following the instructions for compiling inkscape on Windows and ran into some issues. I did figure out how to fix/get past the issues but felt like the wiki could contain the information. I created a ticket: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/4112 but was wondering if I could get wiki access to update the wiki. Or if someone else wants to update the wiki that would be great too. Regards Epper Marshall

Preventing removal of SVG attributes when used on the command line
by Pilar Sopena 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hello, I started to use recently Inkscape through the command line to convert text into outlines. > inkscape cool_drawing_with_text_and_colours.svg --export-text-to-path > --export-plain-svg This conversion is part of a process for converting an SVG into a PDF/X using different technologies. The output PDF/X needs to have colour information. The colour information can be CMYK or spot colours. The PDF/X library expects certain attributes on the SVG to reflect the exactly same colours in the result PDF/X. For example, if we want to include CMYK information, the PDF/X library expects > <svg> > <rect fill="#FF0000 device-cmyk(1,1,0,0)"/> > </svg> We found that Inkscape removes attributes, so we use icc-color(cmyk, 1, 1, 0, 0) rather than device-cmyk(1,1,0,0) and then after the Inkscape step we translate each icc-color(cmyk, ...) it to device-cmyk(...) attribute. For using spot colours, the workaround it's a bit more creative. The PDF/X library expects the following SVG > <svg> > <rect fill="#FF0000 icc-named-color(profile, 'Cool Red (102))"/> > </svg> The attribute icc-named-color(...) gets stripped away, so we found a workaround using again icc-color(...) too and we do the translations back after. To ensure the values are kept after using Inkscape we use aliases and then we translate the aliases back. With no aliases not every named color will stay on the result SVG after Inkscape. For example: > <svg> <rect fill="#FF0000 icc-color(spot-1)"/> </svg> And after we will translate icc-color(spot-1) to icc-named-color(profile, 'Cool Red (102)) I didn't find any other attribute except *icc-color* to work on this workaround, is there a list of svg attributes that are accepted by Inkscape parsing? Is there a way of preventing any of these attributes to be removed, any options on the command line that I've missed? It removes several attributes not only the ones mentioned above. I attached an example of the SVG that I'm trying to process with Inkscape, in case that helps. Thank you very much, any help or suggestions will be welcome! -- *Pilar Sopena Suils* Senior Backend Engineer Office: +44(0)20 39716787 <%2B44%280%2920%203701%207639> Unmade, 28A Easton Street, London, WC1X 0DS Registered UK business no. 08498078 www.unmade.com
