Inkscape 0.40 installation
by Claus Cyrny 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

Hi, I'm currenty still using Inkscape 0.38, which was included in my Linux distribution (Ubuntu), but when I tried to compile v 0.40, I get error messages at the end of ./configure, saying that some libs (like XML) are missing. How can I fix this? Actually, since 0.38 works, all of the required libs should be installed, and I really would like to check out the new features! TIA, Claus -- http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/profil/en/index.html

Misplaced objects with librsvg or EPS
by David Bellot 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hi, here is a challenge for you guys, inkscape users, and a big trouble for me. I created this deck of cards with Illustrator and Inkscape. The final work has been made with Inkscape. Inkscape renders the file perfectly but when I convert my file to EPS (or PS or ai) or regular SVG, I obtain a messy rendering where all my objects are misplaced and rotation as misinterpreted. Do you have any idea ? I want to render that file with librsvg as this file is for aisleriot. Link to my file : http://david.bellot.free.fr/bellot.svg Thanks for your help David

selection lists behind dialog boxes OS X
by Trevis Martin 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Hi folks, First let me say what a great program inkscape is! I'm really happy to find it! Now on to the problem :-) I compiled inkscape myself according to the instructions on the wiki and it runs fine on OS X 10.3.7. I'm seeing two issues so far. The first one is the most annoying and that is on the stroke menus, when choosing style, the drop down list appears behind the box so you can't see part of it. This is even more true in areas like preferences where you cannot see the drop-down lists for things like "Dialogs On Top" in the "Windows" Tab, at all b/c it is completely concealed behind the window. Did I screw up the compile or do something wrong here? The second thing is that it seems that it refuses to save a file in .ai format. I just save it in svg anyway but when experimenting I found that it always gave an error message that file /Path/name/of/file could not be saved. Any ideas about either of those.? Patches or anything I could apply? Thanks, Trevis

[survey] export bitmap/batch
by Alexandre Prokoudine 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Hi, We are planning to do some redesign work on export bitmap palette and export in common. We'd like to know better how you use "export to bitmap" function, what you're missing and what is your way to do export. Basically, we see two ways of exporting: 1. Common "Export.." dialog, where file formats will be listed and option dialog will raise upon choosing of of them. 2. Current "Export to bitmap" palette for those people who do export to some bitmap file format all the time. What we need is decent descriptions (use cases) of your workflow a propos exporting. Another important thing is batch export. If you need batch exporting, please provide us information, what is the best way to do batch export in ian application like Inkscape according to your experience. Thank you in advance. Alexandre

Text Stability
by Robert C. Smith 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

I typed a page with the same font in 3 different sizes and then deleted one of the titles. In re-doing it, I attempted to move the box which comes down from the Text at the top by clicking on the very top bar, and everything went nuts and I lost everything. I presume I should read the Help section; ...but did I do something really stupid? Robert.
