Get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library
by E. G. A. 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

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. -- Eneko Gotzon Ares

Inkscape svg vs. plain svg.
by john Culleton 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

I know that some features of Inkscape svg go beyond the official svg standard and hence may not be interpreted properly by web browsers etc. Is there a list of these features somewhere? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Material Design icon set to use as inkscape 0.91 symbols
by Xaviju Julián 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hi! I just send you this email to let you know that I created a symbol set for inkscape with the *Google Material Design Icons* (at the moment only this set) that you may find useful for design and development. https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-open-symbols I also encourage you to collaborate as indicated in the readme to make it even better and make designers and front-end developers happier. Lets open source and share our own icon libraries as well. Hope you enjoy it. :) Xaviju

Automatically adding xlink refs based on text in the .svg file
by Peter Brooks 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

I've been trying to do this for a while now, and I hoped that it'd be possible with the inkscape command line, but I'm new to this, so I can't see how. I've got a .svg file that's from the OpenGroup's Archi application. It's got boxes and links with names. What I'd like to do is make the names clickable. So, for example, the box: ---------------------- | | | my_label | | | ---------------------- Would be clickable, as a box, and go to: http://mywebsite.com/my_label This will work because I'm using a wiki, so the 'my_label' will become a page on the wiki. Is there a way to get inkscape to add the link: <a xlink:href="http://mywebsite.com/my_label"> box </a> Or, in other words, to translate: <a xlink:href="http://takingserviceforward.org/wiki/index.php?title=Service_agreement"> <text fill="black" x="332" xml:space="preserve" y="159" clip-path="url(#clipPath8)" stroke="none" id="text88738">My_Label</text> <rect x="1356" y="370" clip-path="url(#clipPath5)" fill="none" width="246" rx="27.5" ry="27.5" height="54" stroke="rgb(255,255,181)" id="rect88726" /> To: <a xlink:href="http://takingserviceforward.org/wiki/index.php?title=My_Label"> <text fill="black" x="332" xml:space="preserve" y="159" clip-path="url(#clipPath8)" stroke="none" id="text88738">My_Label</text> <rect x="1356" y="370" clip-path="url(#clipPath5)" fill="none" width="246" rx="27.5" ry="27.5" height="54" stroke="rgb(255,255,181)" id="rect88726" /> </a> I'd be grateful for any suggestions - if there's something else that manipulates .svg files that could do this, it'd be good to know!

Hi, I am new to Inkscape, and following some nice tutorials on the web.. I am trying to so something basic (I think) and i can't figure out how to do it. What I want is a square, and want it all merged as 1 image and have the inside cut out / transparant. Here is an example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/icabyjmvrs0nv06/example.png?dl=0 I want to make all the seperate parts all into 1 images, and the black part I want that to be transparant. Is it possible? If so how? Thank you for your time Perry

Inviting you to LGM and Inkscape Hackfest in Toronto
by Bryce Harrington 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hi all, I would like to invite you all to join me in attending the Libre Graphics Meeting in Toronto! It is held April 29 to May 2 at the University of Toronto. Inkscape will also be hosting a Hackfest the three days prior to this event, April 26-28. If you've done any development on Inkscape, and wish to help us plan our future, then definitely please come! ~=> Please let me know ASAP if you can attend! <=~ We have sponsorship available on a limited basis to Inkscape contributors, first come first served, so make sure to RSVP with me quickly. Our community has been coming together with donations specifically to enable developer attendance. We've got $10,000 set aside for this event, and with this hope to assemble 10-12 developers there. Maybe more depending on how the fundraising goes! Speaking of fundraising, please help us spread the word that our project needs more cash donations for this event. Point folks here for details: https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/hackfest/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * The Libre Graphics Meeting is the major event of the year for FOSS graphics application developers and users. I've only been once myself, but Inkscape has attended many times. It's a great way to network with our peer projects, share ideas, and get inspired. * The Inkscape Hackfest is new this year. It's rare for us to have dedicated time face-to-face to work on Inkscape. We're going to use this valuable time to design some major new features and to plan out a roadmap that will take us to 1.0. Other topics I hope we can work on include designing a new extension system, re-thinking our UI design, improving our pdf/printing capabilities, and all the other things listed as 'Future' on our current roadmap page. Personally, I'm hoping to experiment with running Inkscape with cairo-gl, and test getting Inkscape running as a Wayland client. * Are you located in Toronto and available to help Inkscape? We're looking for someone who can assist with local logistics. Please contact me and let me know your availability. * Sponsorship amounts will vary according to your history with the project. We definitely want everyone but in particular we're hoping to encourage high volume, long term contributors, so will try and skew sponsorship their way. So if you're a long term contributor, you really need to come! Bryce

Regarding Inkscape in Indian languages
by chandrakant dhutadmal 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hi All. We have submitted requests for bringing out localized Inkscape for Indian languages through various bugs filed. List of all such bugs filed can be looked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/~cpdhutadmal. We have also submitted translations for those languages. Would like to know from the community if we have considered making builds for Indic languages. If so, when are we going to do it. If not, can we have a discussions surrounding the topic ? RegardsChandrakant DhutadmalPune, India.
