Command line
by Alessandro Antonello
Hi, all.
Apparently the command line interface of Inkscape is not working properly. I
usually export PNG files from command line because is much more quickly than
open every single SVG to export in the GUI interface. After the upgrade to the
0.47 version I cannot export the PNG this way anymore. There is no error
message. It simply output nothing. I use Inkscape on a Windows XP Service Pack
3. The command line that I usually use to export the files is:
inkscape -f file.svg -e file.png -h 64 -w 64
I review the options in the WEB about the command line and appears to me that
nothing was changed from the older version.
Someone has a clue?
Best regards,
Alessandro Antonello

I downloaded the latest and greatest and am having a problem.
I press shift-ctrl-d and it exits.
I also try document properties and I get an immediate exit.
I created 3 new windows, different types, and try document properties.
All of them go away -- no crash message -- something like an immediate exit.
Shows built Nov 21, 2009 (0.47)
I'm on Win7-64bit, but its only a 32bit client.
Am I alone in this? Some sort of corruption somehow?

Re: [Inkscape-user] Inkscape 0.47 is released!
by Josh Andler
It wasn't a random random version, the goal was to get 0.47 final in th 9.10
repo but the last major bug took longer than expected to be fixed (and
obviously 9.10 got released first). We're going to attempt to see if they'll
SRU it. Either way, we will have a ppa in the near future which will offer
it for a few ubuntu releases.
Cheers,
Josh

Thanks Antonio.
I'm a little reluctant to start building from source as I have a nasty
feeling keeping my system updated may end up taking up more time than
actually using it... If the Ubuntu people aren't going to play ball on
this - and I think that they should really be offering major releases
or critical fixes only, not random beta versions - it'd be nice if you
could add an Inkscape repository to your sources list and bypass
Ubuntu for Inkscape. Obviously that would depend on whether the
Inkscape servers could take the extra load. It's a pity there isn't
some sort of combined bittorrent/repository system, where full
software upgrades are available via peer to peer.

Parallel lines brush?
by sdaau
Hi all,
I would like to have a sort of "hatched" parallel line brush (useful for
representing busses in diagrams). This is what I could get to:
* Draw three parallel lines
** (using the Bezier tool - click to set start point, hold CTRL to keep line
aligned horizontally, move cursor to other end and double click to complete
line)
* Select all three lines, group
* select group and scale it horizontally, such that the length becomes much
shorter that the width of the group
* Select bezier tool, draw a line made of horizontal, then vertical, then
horizontal segment again
* Now select the group again, and choose Object / Raise to Top.
* Select both the group and the line, and choose Extensions / Generate from
Path / Pattern along path
* Choose live preview, select "repeated, stretched" copies of the pattern,
and set all numeric parameters to 0.
The horizontal segment of the object having the effect applied to then looks
close to what I want, but not the vertical one..
Any ideas on how to achieve this in Inkscape properly?
Thanks,
Cheers !

prohibitively expensive.
