Thanks for the information everyone. I thought I had
tried that... but I may have missed a step somewhere.

Exporting to PNG/Cropping question
by Christopher B. Wright
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.

Fwd: Next Release Codename + Mascot Competition
by Robert Crosbie
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.

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!

xml editor has disappeared
by Paul Bolger
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
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?

Saved SVG doesn't match GUI
by Lou Quillio
[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
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...

So are non-developers welcome on that list? 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.

view/export oversampling stills
by Michal Žeravík
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...
