The lastest version should improve performance because right now it does appear to be sluggish. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

svg in inkscape gallery and other stuffs
by davide|inkscapegallery 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hello everybody, you may think i've paid the "ugly lord"; this is exactly what makes people speak about you and what makes you proud of what you have done, but i didn't, he's genuine :-D It was funny to read but i worked hard this night and i would like to report what i've done "officially": Many asked for svgs in inkscape gallery and they were right, we needed and it was a missing feature. I'm sorry if i didn't realize quickly how reasonable and useful it was :-[ but: we have svg in inkscape gallery now, it's easy to use cause you only have to browse and find the file, then unpload it and you will see it as a link that let you left-click on it if you want to see it or right-click if you want to download. I think this is a good way to do this, isn't? For those who already posted images in inkscape gallery you simply have to edit your post and you'll find the svg_source fieldset with the browse button. After you uploaded click on the submit button and you've done. I made some css fixes, the "submitted" block in comments, for example, that nicu was missing, but it was just clearing (for the web developers) and it was at the bottom of the page. Many others little changes in comments to make them layout consistent, I followed nicu's suggestion again about the cc attributes explanation in the "content creation" skin, that i moved in the right column (i still have to theme it) to decrease the scrolling when submitting a drawing. For any better solution i will take a look, but this is quite good, i hope. Just a couple of words about general beliefs about inkscape gallery; i didn't expect everyone to love it, i liked to do something new and peppery (is this word tolerable?) and i think it is normal to have various reactions, not necessarily eager. This is about the layout i've designed, but i think inkscape gallery to be enough powerful as a software to be liked for the things it does and the features it provides. I just wanted to have feedback about the changes i've made to the text colors, i told you in a previous mail, i tried to find balance between readability, shine, keeping the image in a privileged status. Thank you everybody for the contributions so far, keep going on and we will make inkscape gallery as good as inkscape deserves. Da. http://www.inkscapegallery.net http://test.inkscapegallery.net

Gradients Gimp and Inkscape
by Jim Sabatke 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

I'm trying to create SVG gradient files in inkscape that gimp can read. I'm importing a PNG file and then hitting "G" for the gradient select. Then I export to a SVG file. When gimp picks up this file, it has lost all it's color and looks like a black to transparent gradient. I've been through the doc's and have googled this for hours now. I'm new to inkscape, so I'm probably missing something obvious. Does anyone have any clues they can share? System: Suse Linux 10.2/32 Gimp 2.4 (With SVG enabled) Inkscape 0.45 TIA, Jim

Circles separating from gradient
by esbdmb 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

I don't think my last message got posted b/c I wasn't signed up to the group yet so here it is again. In this file, why doesn't the gradient I put on the circle stay with the circle? If I move the circle, it moves, but the gradient stays pegged to the center of the page. Any thoughts? http://www.nabble.com/file/p15078943/circles.svg circles.svg -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Circles-separating-from-gradient-tp15078943p15078943.… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Other pen "shapes" for caligraphy tool?
by Rob Antonishen 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Is there a way to change the shape of the calligraphy tool "nib". I found the setting for capping the end (can't remember what it was called) to mimic a round tip (at the end of the strokes. What I was hoping to do was emulate a split or notched tip to get parallel strokes that respect the stroke weight and gravity. -Rob A

Fleshtones Palette
by Mr. Shawn H. Corey 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

I have created a GIMP palette for skin, eyes, hair, and lips. It is available at: http://www.magma.ca/~shawnhcorey/downloads.html http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Fleshtones_Palette However, I do not have a Windows machine handy to test the installation for it. Could someone help me? Specifically, could they send the installation instructions for Windows? -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn +------------\ | Shangri La \ | 40,000 km / +------------/

inkscape gallery changelog
by davide|inkscapegallery 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hello again, well, i made some changes: i tried to follow suggestions about text colors and changed to a delicate ivory the pink ones , i've changed most of the purple titles and links to a vivid fucsia to avoid darkness in older monitor too. Honestly i can't tell you if this is an improvement but maybe i just need to get used to. I followed nicu suggestion about image size, this is what i've done: now the limit is at 1600x1600px, we had some problems with php timeout, but the hosting provider "diciannove" is our friend and they fixed right away. Nothing changed apparently but if you have a big screen you'll surely notice that the "test" image i posted takes all the screen window. I could use a landscape image to make it clearly visible, but what happens now is that if you have a 1600px wide monitor and you'll see the image (a 1600px wide image, clicking on the thumbnails or on the image in the full node view too) you will have the entire screen filled by the image powered by jquery thickbox. Pretty cool... ;-) Please give me feedback about the colour scheme changes, at this point you're the jury. :-) Da.

Fwd: Automatically set Z-order
by Rob Antonishen 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Woo-Hoo Thanks to Kurt I was able to pull together an extension. It is ungainly slow because of the whole "calling another instance of Inkscape" deal , but it does work. This provides an option of restacking the selected objects in a direction (left to right, right to left, top to bottom, or bottom to top) as well as the point of each object to compare (top left, bottom middle, etc). Attached are before and after samples, as well as the extension. It registers as "Effects->Modify Path->Restack" I am running on Inkscape 0.46dev+devel, built Apr 28 2007, so ymmv if running .45 -Rob A>
