Get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library
by E. G. A.
Just an absolute newbie running Inkscape 0.48.2 in a well working,
really beautiful, vintage declared but loved computer (2.1 GHz PowerPC
G5 & Mac OS X.5.8).
To get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library*, it is needed to be
registered at the openclipart.org site and fill up the user account data
in the Inkscape Preferences**?
* File > Import from Open Clip...
** Import/Export > Open Clip Art Library Username & Password.
Thank you.

Export to PNG behavior
by Michael Grosberg
Hi all,
I've been working heavily with Inkscape these last couple of months, making
technical illustrations that will be shown as a series of images.
So I've been using the Export PNG Image dialog - a LOT.
And it seems to have an odd behavior: the export area defaults to "Drawing"
whenever something is selected, then un-selected. Is there any way to keep
it in "page" mode so I can always export the same size of image based on the
canvas size?
Also, are others here affected by this? perhaps we could get the devs to
change it.

Google Summer of Code 2014
by Josh Andler
Hi All,
We're happy to announce that we have two students who will be working on
projects with our organization this year during Summer of Code.
Krzysztof Kosiński will work on implementing robust boolean and stroking
operations for 2Geom.
Tomasz Boczkowski will work on improving Inkscape's support for SVG paints.
We look forward to working with them and wish them the best of luck this
summer.
Cheers,
Josh

draw a path consisting of straight lines and arcs
by Daniel Barna
Hello,
I want to draw a path which consist of straight and arc segments (the arcs
are tangential to the straight segments). Is this doable in an easy way?
Or another approach: is it possible to give fillets to selected corners of
a path consisting of straight segments? (I am afraid the answer is no, but
who knows?)
Thank you
Daniel

Re: [Inkscape-user] Overlaying svg files from the commandline

[EXAMPLE OF HAML TO CREATE SVG]
Indeed. the threads are bit confusing,…
Let me give an example of a HAML file that creates a svg-file dynamically. I used this one to create a ‘grid-system’. The example might be a bit complicated — but I’ll guess you can figure it out.
Keep in mind that every line that starts with a dash is a Ruby command.
> - C = W / n
Anywhere you see #{something}, we’re outputting Ruby as well:
> %path{ "d" => "M #{offset + n*C} 0 l 0 1200”
Not in this example, but handy to know, is a dirt way to include one HAML file within another (your bunnies?)
> = Haml::Engine.new(File.read(‘bunny.haml')).render
And here the complete example, again, it creates a system of grid lines, with numbers at the bottom indicating the amount of pixels.

(By the way, n: number of columns, G: gutter width, W: width of the page minus 1 gutter width, C = column width)
Hope it helps you or maybe even inspires others?

I don't really know either, but looking at some Inkscape SVGs I see that
it's possible to save the last window position in the sodipodi:namedview
element. Try the following:
- find a file called default.svg in your Inkscape installation directory
(apparently in share\templates on Windows, on Unix-like systems it's in
/usr/share/inkscape/templates). If you use a localized version, pick
default.LANGCODE.svg instead (e.g. default.de.svg)
- edit it using a text editor
- find the sodipodi:namedview element
- add attributes inkscape:window-height, inkscape:window-width,
inkscape:window-x and inkscape:window-y to it (or change them if they
are already there), with values that make the window fit on your screen
(for example: inkscape:window-height="600", etc)
- save the file
I have not tested this though, so it might not work at all.

That depends on your operating system and window manager. Judging from
your mail user agent, you appear to be using Windows. There, I would
advise using the window menu, which you can access either by pressing
alt-space while the Inkscape window is focused, or by right-clicking its
taskbar button. There you will have choices to minimize, move, close and
maximize the window. (These instructions are taken from my memory, I
don't use Windows.)
Hope this helps.
