About Installer on Windows
by Elfi Heck 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Hi all, I just downloaded the latest packages for GIMP on Windows. GIMP and GTK have two separate installers and GTK installs itself in the Common Files directory. Now: I was wondering if it would be possible for Inkscape to use that GTK installation. I'm not a friend of duplicate files even if they're small. Regards, Elfi

Cannot Email Inkscape created PDFs as attachements
by tron 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

Hello. I have successfully created PDFs of my Inscape projects and they look/work perfectly on my PC, however when I try to email them as attachements to someone else the recipient just sees a plain text batch file and code. Does anyone know what is happening to the PDF by being emailed? Thanks so much!! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Cannot-Email-Inkscape-created-PDFs-as-attachements-tf… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Turning of Anti-aliasing
by Chris McCormick 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

Hi, I would like to have fonts and shapes with sharp edges in some instances. Is there a way to turn off anti-aliasing on a per-object basis? Thanks for your time. Best, Chris. ------------------- chris@...2138... http://mccormick.cx

Draw from Scratch or Import and Trace?
by Aaron Elmquist 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

This is a newbie question. How do most people use inkscape and other illustration programs? Do they draw from scratch directly in the program, or do they create a rough sketch to scan and import to provide some guidance?

12 Hours Left in the Open Font Library Logo Competition!
by Jon Phillips 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

That's right, there is only 12 hours left in the Open Font Library logo competition. Make sure to get your submissions in before the end of server time at 11:59 PST today on March 14. No entries are allowed after that time, so now is the time. When the deadline is hit, there will be 5 days for the 3 judges to come to a decision, so it is a great time for us all to comment/review what has been submitted, rate it, and let the judges hear loud and clear what we all think :) Note, you can still judge after the deadline... http://openfontlibrary.org/?ccm=/OFLBLogo/ On the heels of this competition, which I want to have us launch tomorrow, is the Create Project Logo Competition. This will be on Open Clip Art Library: http://openclipart.org/wiki/Contests One other note, it would be great to think up font competition to lead into after the OFL.o logo is selected, to help build up the community :) Cheers!

If I for example try to have a group of one rectangle and one line it doesn't work. I can't select all nodes if the objects were grouped, so I tried to combine them. Then I can select all nodes, but still I'm not able to make them snap to the grid. If I combine them and select all the nodes of only one shape (either the line or the rectangle) I can move the shape while snapping works, but not if both are selected. Jochen

Re: [Inkscape-user] Anybody know how to add randomization to existing objects
by Tony Vigil 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Bulia, It just occurred to me that I've mixed up some terminology. When I've said "filter", I really meant "effect". Can an effect be created that would randomize rotation, size or transparency of selected objects based on the pixel color of a bitmap below each object's origin? - Tony

Was : Wondering why Ink is running slow.

Hello all concerned, sorry for not getting back to you on the issue of a while back -- I could not, my machine got fritzed by a spike and after almost 3 weeks I am on a totally new machine, so guess that's all over.
