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

Belated Congratulations on v1.0!
by bandura1＠efn.org 12 May '20

12 May '20

Congratulations to everybody involved in the latest and greatest version of Inkscape! I just downloaded it and tried it out. I like the larger icon format because my eye-sight is clouding up with the years. I haven't updated my Inkscape tutorial that Brynn maintains a link to (thank you, Brynn!), so v1.0 gives me a kick in the appropriate portion of the anatomy to induce forward momentum! I use Inkscape a lot for cards, web page mock-ups and backgrounds, and designing educational material. I wish you continued success, good luck, and the best of health (in spite of on-going historic events), Roy Torley

Website: Update for Community landing page
by Patrick Storz 26 Apr '20

26 Apr '20

Hi all, as already mentioned in chat I've just redesigned https://inkscape.org/community/ (not published yet) in preparation of the release. It's the new target of the "Ask us a question" link inside the Inkscape help menu. Could you review the changes and see if I missed anything? I'd also suggest to remove https://inkscape.org/community/discussion/ once we're happy with the new community page (it seems mostly redundant and I copied the parts that seemed worthwhile to keep, but please check whether you find anything else that's worth saving). If no issues are found I'll probably publish the page tonight and send out word to translators. Cheers, Patrick

Fwd: LGM Hackfest in Rennes, France
by Maren Hachmann 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

Forwarding an invitation from Marc: ----------------------------------- Hi everyone, we will likely have our next hackfest in Rennes, France, just before LGM in May. LGM is May 26-29 and it's likely the hackfest will last for a few days before it (last hackfests lasted from 3 to 5 days). All contributors* are welcome and encouraged to attend the hackfest! Financial support will be available, but please sign up in advance (either by answering to this email, or by adding yourself on https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Hackfest2020_Rennes_Attendees ), to account for possible limited hosting capacity and to allow expense (and logistics) planning. I hope to see lots of you there -- Marc (* not just code, a hackfest can be a productive time to write a tutorial, discuss some UX, progress on a translation, or coordinate some media outreach, for instance!)

Tutorials page edit
by brynn 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Hi Friends, Just in case someone wants to review it, I've changed the Tutorials page slightly. As it was a little wall of text at the bottom, I took the instructions about how to participate off, and put them on a separate page. So the page itself is only tutorials, and the instructions are separate. https://inkscape.org/learn/tutorials/ Comments and suggestions welcome! brynn
