Forwarding message from Martin to the correct list address: ------------------------------ Dear Developers, Translators and affable Users of Inkscape, The Inkscape website at inkscape.org will be down for upgrades soon. This is dependent on when bryce is available for DNS change over. The process involves moving the website to the new CentOS 7.6 server from OSUOSL which is now setup, you can reach this new server by manually setting your /etc/hosts for inkscape.org to 140.211.9.79 and visiting https://inkscape.org Everyone is invited to visit the new site, it looks exactly like the old one. To see if it's still working correctly. It now uses python3 and django 1.11, so there's quite an upgrade planned for all the tech. But so far it's holding steady. The plan is to display this message to users, English only. http://140.211.9.79/ while we move the database and sync up the media. Best Regards, Martin Owens _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

This is to announce a new extension /Chipscratches/ It generates a rectangle of visual noise: chips, scratches, and specks. These come from a library written by C R, my co-author. This is a beta version, so feedback is requested, especially about the value of existing features and some new ones mentioned in the description. Andrew

>From the Inkscape wiki: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Current_PDF_Support > At this time, it looks as if Inkscape only outputs uncompressed PDF > output. Once you export a PDF, look at its file size. If it is too large > for your application, then you have different options: * > epstopdf * > Export the exact same file to EPS (encapsulated postscript) and then use > epstopdf to convert the file to PDF. This will make a compressed PDF. > > [...] epstopdf comes for example with a MikTeX installation; I found mine in MikTeX installation folder \miktex\bin\x64. Then use in a command line; see also https://superuser.com/questions/599666/how-to-convert-eps-to-pdf-in-windows It may take some time; like 20 seconds or so. -- Sent from: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Inkscape-User-f2857977.html
