Sorry, I'm really dazed !! Hi people, thanks to your helps I tried again the steps Phil noticed me. I saw that after the assigning of a new Pattern to fill the shape, Inkscape shows three powerfull handsets to manage the picture. There is an handset to move the picture into the shape, one to rotate it and one to scale it. Powerfull, really powerfull, better than in many other editors (es. the heavy macromedia freehand) R.

>Fill the circle with the picture, that should do the trick. I tried this the other day, it's nice, but there are a few steps to get it right. 1. Drop the picture into the document, move it over the object and resize it so it lines up how you like it 2. Edit -> Object(s) to Pattern (Alt-I) 3. Delete the picture 4. Select the object, and assign the new Pattern as the fill. If you move the filled object around, the pattern moves with it. If you select all the nodes and move them, it doesn't. This is quite a cool effect. Is there a way of moving or rotating the pattern once it's in the object? __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Loading a SVG file with included SVGs
by Joost De Cock 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hello list, I'm loading SVGs into Inkscape that included small SVG icons with a relative path. (It's a network diagram generated by Grapviz in SVG format using SVG shapefiles for the nodes). When I load them in Inkscape, the icons (shapefiles) aren't loaded. I've looked around, but all help seemed to be geared toward how to actually do something usefull with the program (and that's quite reasonable) but I couldn't find an answer to my problem. So where's the 'Load external referenced SVG files by default' option, or something similar. Here's a snippet of the SVG code: <g id="node7" class="node"><title>roupubli.office.astrid.be</title> <clipPath id="mypathcustomroupubli.office.astrid.be"> <polygon points="286,783 214,783 214,855 286,855 286,783 "/> </clipPath> <image xlink:href="shapefiles/router.svg" width="72px" height="72px" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" x="214" y="783" clip-path="url(#mypathcustomroupubli.office.astrid.be)"/> <text text-anchor="middle" x="250" y="824">roupubli.office.astrid.be</text> </g> Loading this in ksvg (the KDE svg viewer) does load all external images, but doesn't allow me to pan. Thanks for any pointers, joost

Inkscape on MacOS X: great, but...
by H.Fagard 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Dear all, I'm a new user of Inkscape and I've just subscribed to this list. I have installed Inkscape 0.42.2 on MacOS X using the standalone installer, no problem. If the developers read this message: thanks and congratulations for this wonderful software, and for the easy installation under MacOS X. I have already used several vector graphics applications: - MacDraw (later renamed as "Draw"), limited features, but incredibly user-friendy. - Corel Draw : very powerful, but Corel stopped supporting the Mac a couple of years ago. - Freehand : I bought it several months ago but never managed to get comfortable with this software, the user interface is not very intuitive IMHO and I have been having a hard time sometimes to achieve very simple tasks. I have started learning Inkscape with the basic tutorial at <http://www.inkscape.org/doc/basic/tutorial-basic.html>, and my first impression is very good, I find it quite user-friendly while being very powerful. I have nevertheless noted a few issues that may be specific to the MacOS port: 1. The characters on the status bar, and especially the pointer position at the bottom left, are almost unreadable: really tiny, and the font used makes it even worse. Same problem for the rulers numbers. The font used also makes the menus items not very nice to read, although they are readable because they are bigger. I haven't found a way to change this in the preferences. This is my major criticism as it makes the pointer coordinates and rulers unusable. 2. Many keyboard shortcuts do not work as explained in the tutorial: - Alt+Tab will select one object after the other in the drawing, not navigate amongst windows. But Ctrl-Tab will do it so this is OK. - Shift + arrow keys on a selected object moves it by 10 times the default move, as explained. But "Shift+<" doesn't allowing a 10 times resizing, because on a Mac keyboard Shift+< is equivalent to > which scales the object up by 2 px. - Alt+arrow keys does the same as "arrow keys": movement is always 2 px, whatever the zoom factor is. - Alt+> and Alt+< do the same as > and <, whatever the zoom factor is. - "Selecting under" with Alt+click doesn't work (Alt+click zooms up!). 3. Out of the three zooming actions in the Command bar: - zoom to fit selection in window (3) - zoom to fit drawing in window (4) - zoom to fit page in window (5) only one keyboard shortcut (5) works as expected (but clicking on the icon works for all three actions). Best regards, Hervé

Then the objects >will precisely replace each other in your view, each becoming >centered, and you'll see at once exactly which nodes are misplaced >and by how much. Pretty convenient. That is not my experience. When I hit Tab with nodes selected, the selection moves to the next node on the path. When I hit Tab with the object selected, selection moves to the next object and the screen is centered on the object, usualy moving the part of the object that I am interested off-screen. Even when the centering does not move the display away from what I am looking at, the difference is no more visible due to the selection changing that when there are no objects selected. What I want is to see the node handles, and change selection to the other object and see the node handles on the other object. I can achieve this now by opening the document twice and using Alt-Tab two switch between one version with the first object selected, and the other instance with the second object selected. I have to be careful to use identical zoom and scroll operations on each window to get them exactly lined up. >Not to mention its being a "shame". I didn't mean "shame" in the strong sense that it's something to be ambarrassed or ashamed about, but in the causal sense of "it's inconvenient, and I would prefer it to be different". __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Apple X11, troubles with font cache!
by Tunnuz 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi folks, I have a problem. Whenever I try to run Inkscape on my iBook G4 with Mac OSX Tiger (after correctly install the X11 window manager - is it a window manager? I don't really know -) i receive an alert saying: Font caches may need to be updated There is a problem on OSX 10.4.x where X11 installation does not always generate the necessary fontconfig caches. This can be corrected by running /usr/X11R6/bin/fc-cache as root. I run fc-cache. I retry but nothing changes. So I went on #inkscape@...1099... to ask for help. The told me a solution: Manually create a dir called ~/.fonts, symlink my fontts into there, then create ~/.fonts.conf, then run fc-cache. Tried. Nothing changed. I have to give up? Someone has ideas? Lovely yours, Urli T.

Inkscape 0.43 Hard Freeze
by Bryce Harrington 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

With the completion of the bug party today, it is time to move into the hard freeze for Inkscape 0.43, under the watch of our release wardens pjrm and joncruz. Today's testing unfortunately did not cover all of the new features, but we did manage to bang on the connector code really hard, and scared up a number of bugs in it (no showstoppers, but a couple crashes and a lot of odd behaviors.) We attempted to get the inkboard feature working, but did not succeed in establishing a working connection, so there's at least one bug there... We closed about 10 bugs today, mostly invalid/dupe/outdated, but there were a few fixes. pjrm and joncruz will be the release wardens for this release. All changes to the codebase must go through them. Do not commit to CVS; instead post your changes as patches to the tracker with your rationale for why to include them before or after the 0.43 release. Peter and Jon will decide when the codebase is ready for release. This may include requiring specific bugs be fixed, or tasks to be done. When they feel it is ready, the codebase will be tagged and branched, and we will enter the release phase. I will continue to track tasks for the 0.43 release, but it will be up to them whether to wait until all those tasks are complete or to decide we are ready to release with some tasks still unfinished.

Our internal reference code for your message is 15268-07. Delivery of the email was stopped! The message has been blocked because it contains a component (as a MIME part or nested within) with declared name or MIME type or contents type violating our access policy. To transfer contents that may be considered risky or unwanted by site policies, or simply too large for mailing, please consider publishing your content on the web, and only sending an URL of the document to the recipient. Depending on the recipient and sender site policies, with a little effort it might still be possible to send any contents (including viruses) using one of the following methods: - encrypted using pgp, gpg or other encryption methods; - wrapped in a password-protected or scrambled container or archive (e.g.: zip -e, arj -g, arc g, rar -p, or other methods) Note that if the contents is not intended to be secret, the encryption key or password may be included in the same message for recipient's convenience. We are sorry for inconvenience if the contents was not malicious. The purpose of these restrictions is to cut the most common propagation methods used by viruses and other malware. These often exploit automatic mechanisms and security holes in certain mail readers (Microsoft mail readers and browsers are a common and easy target). By requiring an explicit and decisive action from the recipient to decode mail, the dangers of automatic malware propagation is largely reduced.

Bug Party Saturday!
by Bryce Harrington 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Announcement: Bug Party Invitation In an effort to beat the bug tracker and the feature tracker into submission, the Inkscape project is hosting a "Bug Party" on Saturday, September 24, 2005. This is an excellent opportunity for new contributors and non-developers to participate in the project. All day long (in the US time) the IRC channel #inkscape on server irc.freenode.org will be open, along with the correspondent Jabber room (see http://inkscape.org/discussion.php for more details). We expect to reach peak hours at 16-20 UTC on September 24 (8-12 PST) and 0-4 UTC on September 25 (16-20 PST on September 24) and guarantee presence of core Inkscape developers on those time intervals. For additional information, rules, procedures and tools, a Wiki page is available: http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BugParty If you are an Inkscape user looking for a way to contribute or an existing contributor wanting to contribute more, we await you! Contact Nicu or Bryce for more info if you have any questions!

RE: [Inkscape-user] Nodes
by Hibbs, Phil 23 Sep '05

>A shame?! For the specific use that I have, which is comparing the properties of two nodes on different objects, the snap makes the feature unusable. I can see that in the majority of cases it is useful, but in my case it breaks what I am trying to do. I know you can't please everybody, and I am particularly hard to please >:-> (the corollary to this is that I have become accustomed to disappointment :-) Spiff: >In a proprietary drawing package i used in a previous life, removing >a single node from a path would do a "simplify" in a small sense: it >would automagically change the control points of the surrounding (one >or two) nodes so that the path maintained as close a fit to the >original path as possible. I think that would be excellent. In addition, if this does get implemented, I can't see the value in retaining the current behaviour as an option. Maybe a check-box, but the behaviour you describe should be the default. IMO. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
