I want to invite you all to test the pre-release. Especially the builds for Windows should receive some extensive testing as I switched the build system for this release (it's now built with MSYS2 instead of our custom-built devlibs for those interested in the details). Overall this should result in less bugs, some additional features and maybe even slightly improved performance, but - as with all fundamental changes - it might have introduced regressions we're not aware of. Therefire please let me know if you find any new issues that might block this release (we'll fall back to the way we built Inkscape before in this case). A full set of Windows builds (7z, exe, msi - x86/x64) is available from: https://inkscape.org/en/~eduard.braun/galleries/inkscape-0922pre/ Regards, Eduard

Inkscape Vectors - The beginning of awesomeness, join in
by Ryan Gorley 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hello All, In June we had an excellent meeting with a number of you who were interested in helping spread the love about Inkscape (meeting notes <https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/r.93b6af2384cc1de450dd70166ad5cd50>). During that meeting the team decided upon a new name, the Inkscape Vectors, and to have our next meetup on Mattermost, a free alternative to Slack. If you missed the meeting, but are still interested, *come join us on Mattermost* <https://teams.freecreatives.org/login?redirect_to=%2Finkscape>*.***Our next meeting time/date will be discussed there. The group has a broad mission and is open to individuals of diverse talents. So if you're a writer, marketer, designer, developer, artist, student, researcher, or just passionate enough about Inkscape to do /something/, we invite you to join now! -- Ryan Gorley @ Dijt <https://dijt.co>

Re: [Inkscape-user] can we make a figure like this in Inkscape?

Hello Thanks a lot for the comments. I am trying to render some biological pictures with this fancy effect. However, I don't know where can I find some tutorial to do this. If possible, could you please give me some advice? For instance, how can we make such kind of texture which looks like a cloth? Is there also any advance tutorial showing how to render object with different lighting effect? Thanks a lot Albert >From: C R <cajhne@...2592...> - 2017-07-29 11:56:07 >Yes.

Batch PDF creation
by Christoph Raab 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Dear fellow Inkscapists, I was wondering if anyone here had a solution for this before I dive into trying to hack something together. The situation is that I have an SVG, where different layers have different languages, and other layers have different graphics. The various combinations of these get exported to in total 9 PDFs, with that number bound to increase. How do I automate that? Two ideas 1) Does someone have a script that finds a group by its "label", and sets an attribute? (In this case, finds it breadth-first, with the label being the layer name, and setting style=display:none or display:inline.) 2) Is it possible to "include" parts of a document, like in C or LaTeX, but editable and with changes being saved to the individual files? Best, Christoph

New Team Icons: Highlight
by Martin Owens 23 Jul '17

23 Jul '17

Dear Developers and Users, I have been working with Tim Jones to develop some new icons for the website. I wanted the icons to have a theme and to carry a bit of identity for the teams they represent. So we went with hats. See the lovely icons in-situ here: https://inkscape.org/en/teams/ Showing off the art is actually not just what I want to communicate. Firstly I want to thank Tim, because they have been awesome to work with and very productive with the brief. I highly recommend. I approached Tim because he'd produced a piece of artwork with Inkscape and submitted it to our website (inkscape.org). The way we can host a small portion of our user's work on the website, is really something great for our community. Firstly because it shows us what great things can be done with the software, but also because it humbles us developers to know that our code is helping make such amazing work. Getting new collaborators into a project is hard. Getting non- programmer contributions is harder still. But the way our website can highlight non-developer aspects of our community; gifts us an opportunity to expand the reaches of the contributing population, to bring in new people and help them contribute in whatever small way they can. If you find yourself browsing the website, and you get an idea about how we might make the user community even better through improvements to the how the website works. I want you to let me know. Because users are just as important as developers, and helping people come together helps all parts of the project. Thanks for listening! Best Regards, Martin Owens Website Administrator

Problem with super and sub scripts
by Larry Freeman 16 Jul '17

16 Jul '17

I am a new new user of Inkscape and am having trouble getting super and sub scripts in my text. When in text mode, highlighting text and clicking the super or sub script icon all text in the text box to dissapear. If I click the icon a second time the text reappears but at an extremely large font size of over 30,and still no super- or subscript. I am using windows 7 home on one computer and windows 7 pro on another and both give the same results with Inkscape versions .48 and .92. Has anyone else seen this problem? I can get the super or sub scripts by manually moving the letter up or down but it takes a bit longer. If anyone has a solution to this, even an operator error solution would be very welcome. Thanks! wlf

Anyone hyphenating?
by Christoph Raab 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Dear fellow Inkscapists, looking for hyphenation in Inkscape, I found an extension for that - and the discussion that followed: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Hyphenation-in-Inkscape-td2852535.html That was very interesting, even if the result seemed to be that hyphenation could not work this way for languages that require displaying a hyphen character. Just wondering, has anyone in the meanwhile hacked together their own solution that works for English? All the best, Christoph

Material Design Color Palette
by Ole Ersoy 02 Jul '17

02 Jul '17

Brynn - I saw your reply on my phone, but when I downloaded to Thunderbird Gmail ate it .... Anyways the color palette is the material design color palette. You can get more info and download here: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/93642/what-color-swatch-i… Also I created stroke and fill CSS color utilities (In addition to border, text, and background) for this as well in case anyone needs that: https://superflycss.github.io/utilities-colors/target/test/html/ I have not added tests for the stroke and fill, but they are implemented like this (Postcss Loop fills in the colors): .u-stroke-color-$(color) { stroke: var(--color-$(color)) !important; } .u-fill-color-$(color) { fill: var(--color-$(color)) !important; } Ole

Colours shown differently after using palette?
by Christoph Raab 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Hi everyone, writing to the list since now that the Launchpad presence is discontinued, I couldn't find a "questions" section on Gitlab... I'm new to using swatches/palettes, so I assume I'm doing something wrong. I have a file, looking at the top layer (normal blend mode, all others invisible). Since I started using a certain swatch, all the colours, including those in the palette, are more dull - in the attached image compare the Fill field to the rectangle... This persists through closing and re-opening. What did I mess up? Best, Chris

[Manual]: Beginners' Guide Status
by Maren Hachmann 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hi to all of you who are interested in the Beginners' Guide! I'd like to give you another status update about our progress on the book: What happened since the last status update? ------------------------------------------- - JP read over the first section, from a user perspective (and found no grave issues with it! :D) - Sergio joined the team, by commenting on an issue at gitlab. He will help in checking for hurdles for beginning Inkscape users, from a non-native speaker point-of-view, and (I hope) also with consistency checking. He has already made a good start, finding some inconsistencies and bugs within the second section of the book. - brynn proofread the largest part of the second section, to make sure it's using proper English! - Elisa, while in Paris at the Inkscape Hackfest that is currently going on (see also: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2017/06/06/hackfest-2017-paris/), had a go at separating single images and adding lots of new ones! - Jabier brushed up the CSS a bit, and tested export options :) See below for a link to the latest pdf, with some splashes of color! - I have updated screenshots and uploaded images with translated file names for section 1 and 2, and am currently working my way through the pictures in section 3 of the book. What can you help with at this stage? ------------------------------------- We need proof-readers, the more the merrier! The only requirements are that you need to be a native speaker of English and need to have a basic knowledge in Inkscape usage. We also need someone who can help with the book layouting, if possible with some experience in preparing books for print and/or screen and some knowledge of CSS. There's a lot of room for creativity here :) And last but not least, the book needs consistency checkers, who make sure that things fit together throughout the book, and that the terms used match those in the Inkscape glossary. This is really important, so the book will look like 'one piece', even though it's being worked on by different people. If you want to join the team, comment on the issue that you'd like to help with here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals/issues or just reply to this email. All book chapters are short, and work is shared - you can opt to take on just one or two chapters! If we have more people who can help with that, we'll have the book ready in a breeze! Alpha Version ------------- The current draft of the manual is available for reading at: http://write.flossmanuals.net/start-with-inkscape/_draft/ Jabier's latest pdf version of the manual is available for download at: http://objavi.booktype.pro/data/books/startwithinkscape-en-2017.06.27-23.32… See you on flossmanuals :), Kind Regards, Maren
