Exporting to PNG/Cropping question
by Christopher B. Wright 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

I'm trying to reproduce an effect I was able to create way back when I was using a program called Photo>Graphics on the OS/2 platform. Essentially, it could be set up so that when you defined a page size and then exported to a raster graphic (in this case PNG), any part of the image that exceeded the page boundaries was automatically cropped. Is this possible with Inkscape? It doesn't seem to be a default setting. Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@...537...) Christopher B. Wright (cwbrenn@...12...) Sent from my Yahoo!

Fwd: Next Release Codename + Mascot Competition
by Robert Crosbie 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Forwarding this from the ubuntu-announce list since they speficically mention inkscape and people on this list probably have mastered a bit of the inkscape-fu. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Waugh <jeff.waugh@...535...> Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 03:26:10 +1100 Subject: Next Release Codename + Mascot Competition To: Ubuntu Announce <ubuntu-announce@...536...> Good morning freedom lovers! Today I'm very pleased to announce the codename for the next Ubuntu release, due in October 2005... It will be known as Ubuntu 5.10, the Breezy Badger! Ah, the SABDFL gives us another quizzical name to figure out... What could it mean this time? Warty Warthog was meant to be a bit warty, being our first release - but out turned out to be wonderful! Hoary Hedgehog is the wiser, more mature Ubuntu, being our second release. But "breezy"? Will the next release be... windy? Hmm... Using the handy dictionary in my Ubuntu menus, I found out that breezy also means "fresh, brisk and full of life". Is this what the SABDFL intended? I do not know, for he is ever mysterious... but it sounds very much like the Ubuntu we know and love! * Fresh - with supported releases every six months, Ubuntu gives you the latest and greatest of the Open Source world, tested and tamed by the Ubuntu development team... and it's so easy to upgrade! * Brisk - whether you're looking for a zippy desktop or a supercharged server, Ubuntu is swift and sturdy. With a brand new LiveCD on every architecture, or our simple and speedy installer, Ubuntu is ready for action... fast! * Full of life - the Ubuntu community has blossomed in the six months since our first public release, with users and developers participating in our mailing lists, forums, wikis, local community teams, package maintenance, and international commercial support through our Ubuntu Marketplace. Over 10,000 users have registered to participate on the forums alone! It's an incredible community to be part of - get involved today! Breezy Badger - fresh, brisk and full of life! The Ubuntu developer team will begin work on Breezy Badger in April, driving towards its final release in October 2005. In the mean time, look forward to the final release of Ubuntu 5.04 - the Hoary Hedgehog - in very early April. Mascot Competition ------------------ Have you mastered the art of Inkscape-fu? We're looking for a Breezy Badger developer mascot, and great artists to show us who the Breezy Badger really is! Here's the vital details: * Submissions should be scalable vector illustrations, in SVG format. * The Breezy Badger is an extremely rare South American breed, not a friend of colder climates. ;-) Obviously, submissions should depict a badger! * Please send submissions or questions to <jeff.waugh@...535...>. * Competition closes on Monday, April 25th - the first day of Ubuntu Down Under <http://www.ubuntu.com/wiki/UbuntuDownUnder>. * A winner will be announced on Saturday, April 30th - the last day of Ubuntu Down Under. The winning mascot will appear in the Breezy Badger development artwork, to cheer on Ubuntu developers and testers over the next six months... and may even sneak into the final Breezy Badger release... somewhere. ;-) Rock and roll! - Jeff -- UbuntuDownUnder: April 25th-30th http://www.ubuntu.com/ "It's not sufficient to 'use simple words to explain things'. Things must actually *be* simple, which is much harder." - Martin Pool -- ubuntu-announce mailing list ubuntu-announce@...536... http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-announce

xml editor has disappeared
by Paul Bolger 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Pardon me if this has come up before, but my XML edit mode seems to have gone... inkscape win2k latest build, and a couple of others I downloaded to see if it makes difference... When I click the XML edit button, or select it from a menu... nothing.

SVG animation - Query
by Paul Jensen 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Hi, I remember reading somewhere that Inkscape would be adding SVG animation features to the software, similar to what Macromedia Flash does. Is this true, and if so, when will the features be available? Regards, Mr Spanky, the erotic goldfish

Saved SVG doesn't match GUI
by Lou Quillio 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

[No luck searching archives on this.] The Inkscape document I've been working on for a few hours does not save what's on my display, either in Inkscape or plain SVG. It's instead saving-off a mystery document with artifacts from prior versions of my document. Bitmaps export fine. I've also copied over my visible elements to a fresh doc, but it suffers the same problem. Saving worked properly for awhile, but at some point it got confused -- perhaps when I briefly opened a second instance of Inkscape. This doc is naturally intended to be my master, so I'm worried. Does anyone know a way to recover from this? I'm gonna keep this doc open until I find a solution, unless Inkscape crashes first. [Ubuntu Debian, Linux 2.6.8, i386, Inkscape .40] Thanks.

Introduction
by Christopher B. Wright 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

I just signed up to the list today. I've been testing Inkscape privately and am impressed enough with it that I plan to be using it heavily. This is described as the "User's List" on Sourceforge, as opposed to the "Developer's List," and since I'm not a developer this seems like the right one for me. But I have a question: what is appropriate Inkscape discussion here, and what is not? What I mean is: it may be entirely appropriate to ask questions about how to use the program, the best way to optimize it, sharing tricks and tips... and it may *not* be appropriate to request features or critique how some features are implemented. I'd like to participate responsibly and can't find any guidelines that outline what the limits of conversation on this list are (there were not that were immediately obvious to me, at any rate -- I may have overlooked them). At any rate, I plan on using Inkscape (on a Mepis partition) quite heavily and am moving from CorelDraw (on a Windows partition), which is what I've been using for the last four years or so. That's all for now. Just testing the waters... Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@...537...)

I know some projects prefer that only the people actively designing and coding the application use those lists, in order to keep communication as uncluttered as possible. Christopher B.

view/export oversampling stills
by Michal Žeravík 16 Mar '05

Hi, I can't switch off oversampling, there is still 2x2. Well, it is used for export. Would you use it for viewing as well? Maybe some button... Michal
