Hi there, after some tries, I managed to compile Inkscape 0.441 ;-) But where are these amazing blur-effects ... ?? I can't find them in the fill-dialog (Screenshot: http://www.thomas-zastrow.de/temp/screenshotInkscape.jpg). Or Am I to stupid ..?? Thanks for your help!

Recent Win32 builds?
by Arnout Standaert 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Hello list, I'm just wondering where to find up-to-date Inkscape builds for Windows. There have been a few Windows-specific fixes lately, so I'm curious to see all the new stuff that has been introduced. The last "daily" build I can find via the homepage (http://inkscape.org/download/) dates back to October 25th, and has the recently discussed "freeaddrinfo" crash bug on startup, so it's unusable for me. Any pointers would be much appreciated, Arnout

Bulia? Others? Well, that's a different sense of "registration mark", but in fact I do know a number of folks who would like a crop mark feature. -mental

NEW: display mode toggle and other goodies
by bulia byak 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

* A new menu command (View > Display Mode > Toggle) and a new keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+<keypad 5>) switch the display mode from Normal to Outline and back. * An object with mask and/or clipping path, when viewed in Outline mode, now displays both the object itself and its clipping path and mask as objects, using different outline colors. By default, clippaths use green outlines, and masks use blue. These colors, as well as the colors of the regular object outlines (default black on light background and white on dark background) are now changeable by editing the "wireframecolors" group in the preferences file (~/.inkscape/preferences.xml). * An object with no fill and no stroke, invisible and not selectable by mouse clicking in normal more, can now be picked by a mouse click in the Outline mode using its visible outline. * To cater for specialized uses, such as preparing input for personal media cutters, Inkscape now has an option to start in the Outline mode upon launch. To enable this, add the following line to your preferences.xml file: <group id="startmode" outline="1"/> placing it after the <group id="options"> opening tag. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Registration Mark
by Aaron Maxwell 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi all, Is there a canned way to make a registration mark in a text field? Obviously, we can just draw a circle and position it around a floating letter "R". Is there a cleaner way to do it? Thanks in advance. -Aaron

Where is the difficulty with the arrows. One of the problems is this that the actual length of the line has to be changed: the arrow is an added item to a line, the line is still drawn the normal way. Because it has some thickness it will also have some thickness at its endpoint, while the requirement is that the endpoint is sharp (the arrow's tip). In order for this to work the line should be made a bit shorter. At the moment this has to be done manually, but perhaps in the near future I can make it so that Inkscape automatically changes the length of the line. Unfortunately I don't have time to work on it for at least this month, sorry. Don't know how it will work with snapping though... Regards, Johan Engelen
