November 2016 - Inkscape Users

Survey
by Victor Westmann 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

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? --Victor Westmann

Re: [Inkscape-user] [Inkscape-devel] Entries to the contest
by Brynn 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

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 ________________________________________________________ From: Victor Westmann Sent: Friday, November 11, 2016 3:26 PM To: Martin Owens Cc: inkscape-devel Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Entries to the contest Can we vote more than once ?

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.

Voting for About Screen Contest is Open
by Maren Hachmann 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

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!

Chinese, anyone? (Answers section)

Hi everyone, if you speak Chinese, could you help out an Inkscape user in the answers section? >From google translate, it looks like a crash report, a native speaker who can also search through the bug reports would be helpful. https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/403988 Thank you, Kind Regards, Maren

performance issue with Objects dialog
by Brynn 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

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 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

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? /d
