Web Chat Review
by Martin Owens
Dear Users and Developers,
I've put together an integrated tutorial for the irc chat on
inkscape.org and I'd like a few users and support contributors to give
it a review:
https://inkscape.org/en/*users/chat/
You should see a few things are different now:
* You must be logged in to use the chat, previously you could be
anonymous. You even must have an email configured, so facebook and
twitter logins must update their user profile before chatting.
* There is the above guide which add the can_irc permission to a user's
account. Confirming they've seen every page (I shorted it to 4 pages).
* There's a new IRC bot that offers these new commands:
- webbot: whois [username] ; will tell you who a user is and a link to
their website profile, in case someone joins the chat asks a question
and then leaves without waiting.
- webbot: tell [username] [msg] ; will send an alert to the user with
a possible response. The default for website message alerts is to email
them too. So you can respond to someone who just left.
- Get Latest Art ; a bit of fun to return the latest item in the
Artwork category on the live site. Returns the link.
- If you want further integrations between irc and the website, this
is now possible. (maybe good for meetings in the future)
I'm hoping these tools will allow users to feel comfortable chatting
with us and also provision support contributors with what they need when
in chat.
The exact text of the above tutorial is up for review here. Please let
me know your suggestions by email on list.
Thanks everyone!
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Difference difference
by Brynn
Hi Friends,
It seems like I should know the answer to this. But I don't recall
hearing about it.
Starting with these 2 rings, which have fill and no stroke:
http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/diff1.png
I duplicate both, and then Difference. At 100% zoom they look ok.
But zoom in (in this case, all the way, for best view) and you can see that
the Difference wasn't correct. http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/diff2.png
It's not a huge amount, but I would expect there shouldn't be any
difference at all. This on Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit,
exe installer.
Is that a bug? Or is there some reason it's expected not to be
precise?
Thanks for your help :-)

Inkscape crashes when importing an image
by Sridhar M A
I am using inkscape on my debian system. On one machine, it crashes
when I try to import an image or drag and drop it from a file manager.
I am attaching the log captured in a terminal.
This happens with all images---type, size, color.
My installation details:
$ apt-cache policy inkscape
inkscape:
Installed: 0.91-9
Candidate: 0.91-9
Version table:
*** 0.91-9 800
800 http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
600 http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Sridhar

Drawing display
by Olivier BATARD
Hello,
I’m running inkscape 0.91 with XQuartz 2.7.9 on mac OS X 10.11.4
I’m having a problem. When I create a new document, I select a shape like ellipse, I draw but nothing appears on the screen, the shape won’t draw. The outline is by default, black on white.
Can anyone tell me what’s going on ?
Thanks !
Rodolphe.

Hi Todor.
Yes it could be implemented. Maybe...
Bye and thanks for the link.

custom grids ("outside the box")
by Brynn
Hi Friends,
I have a couple of questions about custom grids. I'm more or less
familiar with the various extensions, and the 2 regular grids (rectangular
and axonomic/isometric). But I was thinking about a couple of....well,
probably silly things....but very unusual grids.
One thing I want is the axomonic grid, but rotated around....I think
would be 30 degrees, so that if you use it to draw a hexagon, the 2 vertical
sides are horizontal. And the tiny triangles point up and down instead of
side to side. Or a rectangular grid rotated 45 degrees. So instead of tiny
squares, it's tiny diamonds.
And the other thing I was wondering. Would it be possible, somehow
using Guides, to make a grid like that, or even with a star shape? For
example, see http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/sg.png.
There I made 3 stars, centered on the same spot, each 50 px larger
(or smaller). Then I used Object to Guides. But this would be a tedious
process, to say the least, to make a page-size grid. Plus, for the star
shape, it makes 2 guides for each of the 5 sides. I understand why, it's
just that makes it even more work, to deal with the extra ones....if you
were actually considering doing it with guides.
Questions:
1 - Would making, let's say an a4 page-size grid, using guides, start to
create performance issues, like it would if you used paths?
2 - Otherwise, would making this kind of grid require an extension, or other
coding?
3 - Or is there any other way to get an unusual grid like these examples? I
mean, a grid that can be snapped to. I realize I could get a photo or other
image of a grid and import it. But it wouldn't be snappable.
Thank you very much :-)
