Survey
by Victor Westmann
Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct mailing list but here it
goes:
Wouldn't it be cool if we could have a survey of, let's say, max 8 to 10
questions to understand better how much our users are involved with the
inkscape project and how they use the Inkscape. If they use it more to do
mockups, design templates, buttons for websites, to vectorize raster
blueprints or what.
What do you guys think?
This way we could try to bring more users to get involved with the project
and try to understand better what do they look in the project. Maybe we
could prioritize that.
What do you guys say?

I know it's a hard choice to make, with all those awesome entries,
but come on and place your votes!!
All best,

Re: [Inkscape-user] [Inkscape-devel] Entries to the contest
by Brynn
Suggestions for future contests.
With so many entries, it's going to be really hard to choose just one. I
seem to recall from the last contest, that the community was allowed to
choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place vote. It also seems like there were 2
stages of voting, and in the 2nd stage, we only got one vote. But there
were much fewer entries in the 2nd stage.
Hhmm, looking back at the instructions for the last contest, it doesn't
indicate what I remember, about the voting. So it's possible I don't
remember correctly.... But if it was a dream, it was quite satisfying as a
voter, to be able to choose 3. And the 2nd stage of voting made it more
fun!
Also might be nice to show the running vote count on the contest gallery
page. If it's possible.
Just some thoughts :-)
All best,
brynn

Can we vote more than once ? (1 vote for different projects?)

Dear devs,
I'm really impressed with the number and quality of entrants in this
year's contest:
https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/=about-screen-contest/contest-for-092+0
/
Check them out if you haven't yet.
I'm still working on fixing the rendering a little bit, so that
entrants that used our advanced features won't be left with bad browser
renderings during the vote (starts on Sunday!).
I didn't get a response for the whole self-contained-package thing, so
I guess it must not be possible.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Voting for About Screen Contest is Open
by Maren Hachmann
Hi everyone,
it's time to vote for the About Screen for the upcoming Inkscape version
0.92!
We have a very diverse gallery with 56 entries, by 43 different
Inkscape-using artists on the website.
Everybody in the Inkscape Community is invited to cast their vote.
In order to do so, you will need to log in or register an account for
the Inkscape website (https://inkscape.org), if you don't have one yet.
This is how it works:
- Everyone gets 1 vote and all contest entrants may, of course, vote as
well.
- To vote, visit the gallery
(https://inkscape.org/gallery/=about-screen-contest/contest-for-092+0/)
and check out all those amazing works of art.
- Click on one of the thumbnails to see the a larger version of the
image and a description. Here, you can also comment on the entry.
- To cast your vote, either click on the check mark below the image
here, or hover over the small image in the gallery, to see a
circle-shaped checkbox you can click on. When you accidentally voted for
the wrong entry, you can correct your vote by just voting for a
different one.
- Voting will ONLY be accepted via the Inkscape website.
- You can vote until November 19th 2016, 23:59h (UTC).
- Once the community voting is done, the 3 top-voted entries will be
passed on to the developers who will have the final vote for the winner.
For the contest participants, ANY modifications of the files are
prohibited from now on.
Good luck to all who entered and thank you very much for all those cool
pieces of art!

performance issue with Objects dialog
by Brynn
Hi Friends,
I'm working on a large file, but before I opened the Objects dialog,
I wasn't have any performance issues. For example, group and ungroup of 30
to 50 objects, there was no delay. But after opening Objects dialog, I'm
having approx 3 to 4 minute delay between clicking group or ungroup, and
Inkscape doing it.
Is this expected? Or should make bug report? Oh! Already
reported:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1431274
In my opinion, this is quite unfortunate. If there's any time when
this new dialog can be so helpful, it's working with large, complex files.
This is an extreme delay which makes it unusable for me. :-( I hope
this can be fixed.
Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1, Inkscape 0.92pre2, 32-bit, exe installer. I
could make up a test file for you, if it would be helpful. Or any other
files I could provide, let me know.
Thank you very much,
brynn

Help with a bug report
by Donn Ingle
Hi,
I am on a PPA (Ubuntu 16.04) of the latest dev inkscape.
I notice that if I have the layers (or anything, like fill/stroke) open as
a window (a dialogue tool window affair) - i.e. not docked - and then I
close Inkscape, that window remains open.
The only way to completely close inkscape is "killall inskcape" from the
command line.
I have looked at the bugs on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ but I am not sure
how to check this is not a duplicate or known bug. The wording is tricky.
Any ideas?
