new forum and committee
by Brynn
Hi Friends,
I just realized I forgot to post this on the user list (posted to
dev list few days ago). In case someone doesn't know.
Because InkscapeForum.com's admin has all but abandoned the forum,
the Inkscape Board voted to form a committee to evaluate the possibility of
an official forum
(https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/35137071/). (Look for
short News item, in inkscape.org soon.) They asked me to chair it, and I
agreed.
Because InkscapeForum.com could disappear at any time (for all we
know) I posted a topic on Inkscape Community, where anyone/everyone can
discuss what features they would like to see in a new official forum.
http://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=355.0
If anyone doesn't want to register a new account (I understand, I
have sooo many passwords) they could use either the Contact form (in the
menu bar near top of page), or email, and I'll post their comments for them.
After 1 week or so more discussion time, or until the discussion
fades away, the committee with start its work. If anyone is interested in
participating on the committee, please let me know what email address you'd
like to use.
Anyone/everyone welcome (to post feature requests or to be on the
committee) :-)
Thanks,
brynn

extension grid crashing (make bug report?)
by Brynn
Hi Friends,
I'm trying to use Extensions menu > Render > Grids > Isometric, but
it keeps crashing Inkscape. It's always when I'm using the Live Preview.
Sometimes it crashes when I uncheck the preview (which I think might be a
known bug for many extensions). But it's crashing otherwise as well.
When I try to adjust the the variables, while Live Preview is on,
usually the crash happens while I'm trying to change the 3rd value.
Error messages : First there's that one that's something about
Runtime and some "unusual way". Then it's the message box that shows where
the backup was saved.
I've searched LP for existing reports, but didn't find anything.
But because I don't usually have very good luck with searching, I thought
I'd ask if anyone knows of a report about this. Otherwise, I guess I should
make one?
This is on Windows 7, 64-bit and Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, exe
installer. I suspect it probably also happens in the 64-bit version. I'll
test it right after post this. It's happening in brand new blank files,
with nothing else but the preview, on the canvas.
If it's not already reported, is there any other kind of
documentation I should provide?
Thank you very much,
brynn
PS - Oh, interesting! Doesn't seem to be happening in the 64-bit version!

Why does Inkscape require dbus?
by Steve Litt
Hi all,
I just found out Inkscape has a dependency on dbus, and as a guy trying
to minimize dbus use and eventually kick it off my computer, I have to
ask why it's needed by Inkscape. Inkscape is a translator back and forth
between an enhanced SVG XML and a hand drawing. What need is there for
dbus?

New guides... extension update.
by ugajin
The guides... extension script has been updated. This is probably the final update for the foreseeable future.
However, a development version which includes a feature for adding guide labels is available. Drop me an e-mail request if you would like to receive a copy.
Please extract and see the readMe file from the zip download for full details about this update, and the development version.

Image metadata
by Judah
I have an interesting use case senario for Inkscape. I like to be able to
print/display text from a specific field from the embeded EXIF data in an
image.Has anyone ever done something like this, how did you achieve it?

Inkscape guides
by ugajin
I note that Inkscape fails to render guide colours when set via SVG editor. Would someone have a try, edit a sodipodi: guide color attribute value, and confirm if it is just me with this issue.
Thanks.

merge because this last thing.
I couldent put the music I want to this video, anyway undertones is the
best substitute.
