Effects/Generate from Path
by frank gaude' 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Surprise, just installed .44, Jun 26 2006 build, using yum on my AMD FC5 box. Question: What does the subject effects do on objects, type, vectors, bit maps? The only thing that happens when I use either Blur or Extrude is overlays over the original. Am I missing something? What's the story here? Thanks. frank

Help my "fill and stroke" dialog is gone!!!
by Müller Pretorius 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Please help. I installed the version 0.43, everything worked and then fill and stroke was gone, no matter what. I also installed 0.44 and the same thing. On my other machine it works just fine. What should I do, I really want to use Inkscape... Kind regards, Muller

select objects by color
by JC Denton 29 Jun '06

Hi! Is it possible to select object by their color? I know this feature in Gimp. I have a diagram with 3 curves but the points are not connected and I just want to group them. Thanks! ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de

CPU usage.
by Gian Paolo Mureddu 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Is it me or the Fedora version of Inkscape 0.44 uses more CPU now than 0.43 did? It may have been the case with the other versions I've tried, but it certainly is quite noticeable since I installed the Fedora packaged version. Anyone else noticed this? By the way I'm on FC5 x86_64, and a friend of mine also noticed this on i386.

Inkscape .44 won't run under Xandros
by Christopher B. Wright 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

I just tried to run Inkscape using the newly released Xandros 4.0, and I get this message: inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory What the heck is libcairo.so.2, and how do I get my hands on it?

LaTeX formula rendering. Which pstoedit?
by Andrew Burrow 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Thanks for the great release. I am particularly excited about Effects > Render > LaTeX formula However, it silently fails for me with the autopackage release on Ubuntu (Dapper Drake). The DVI file and PS files are correctly compiled in '/tmp'. They preview in evince, but are never inserted. If I try to import the resultant PS file, inkscape reports the following error. Failed to load the requested file /tmp/inkscape-latex.tmp.ps I presume there is a small inconsistency between the versions of pstoedit. I see the following version string. pstoedit: version 3.42 / DLL interface 108 (build Jan 19 2006 - release build) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2005 Wolfgang Glunz What further steps can I take to track this down? Thanks again, Andrew

by j michaelson 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

noooo! i've just done a fresh subversion build of inkscape and radial gradients no longer work. i can choose radial gradients and change the colours, but it just colours the whole path in only one of the colours. i'm off to submit a bug report. john m.

Statically-linked linux version of 0.44?
by Bryan K. Wright 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

Hi folks, Is there any chance of getting a statically-linked, rpm-packaged version of inkscape 0.44? I'm missing the appropriate versions of libcairo, libglitz and libpangocairo. Thanks in advance, Bryan -- ======================================================================== Bryan Wright |"If you take cranberries and stew them like Physics Department | applesauce, they taste much more like prunes University of Virginia | than rhubarb does." -- Groucho Charlottesville, VA 22901| (434) 924-7218 | bryan@...1948... ========================================================================

Changing from portrait to landscape and back
by wayne 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

I'm using 0.44 and whenever I change from landscape to portrait, my image on the page shrinks in size relative to the page. I have to keep scaling the image up. When I change from portrait to landscape, the image enlarges and I have to scale it down to fit within the page. Is there a switch somewhere that controls this behavior? Thanks, Wayne Mandriva 2006
