How to uninstall Inkscape 0.91 +Xquartz on Mac to install 0.92?
by Victor Westmann 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

Or even better: how can I update Inkscape 0.91 + XQuartz on Mac to 0.92? I followed the instructions in the download page to install 0.91 few months ago and it went fine! But I have no idea on how to uninstall 0.91 to install 0.92.. but I'm very happy we have it available in the MacPorts... seems like an elegant, and yet simple, solution. Sorry for the silly question. --Victor Westmann

how to uninstall
by brynn 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

Hi Friends, I recently installed Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer on a brand new Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit computer. However, it doesn't show up in Programs and Features or the Start menu. So I can't figure out how to uninstall it. I looked in the installation directory, because in some programs, I've seen an uninstall.exe file. But I don't find that in this case. How can I uninstall this? (Note that I recently was discussing about having multiple versions installed, but that's on an old computer. This is happening on a new computer, where this is the only version I have installed. I do have a 7z version of another version, but it's my understanding that the zip file programs are not technically installed.) Thanks for your help, brynn

Inkscape 0.92 is Released!
by Maren Hachmann 04 Jan '17

04 Jan '17

(originally sent by Bryce to devel list) The Inkscape project announces a new version 0.92 of its popular vector drawing software. New features include mesh gradients, improved SVG2 and CSS3 support, new path effects, interactive smoothing for the pencil tool, a new Object dialog for directly managing all drawing elements, and much more. Infrastructural changes are also under way, including a switch to CMake from the venerable Autotools build system. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch our showcase at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI1hxXt9U4c Download 0.92 from: https://inkscape.org/en/download/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mesh gradients enable artists to create photo-realistic drawings more easily - a feature we would love to see made part of the W3C's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard; if you find this feature as cool as we do, please request that your favorite web browser adopts support for it too! Inkscape works closely with the SVG standards committee, and thanks to our many generous donors the Inkscape project sponsors an engineering representative to attend SVG working group meetings over the past few years; a welcome outcome of this participation is the improvement and addition of over a dozen SVG and CSS properties, such as paint-order, white-space, and mix-blend-mode. Live Path Effects are proving to be a vibrant ecosystem in the Inkscape project, and many innovative new ideas have been percolating over the past couple years since our last release. Spiro Live, BSpline, and Roughen essentially provide new drawing modes. The Simplify LPE cleans up vector elements non-destructively by smoothing paths, shapes, groups, clips, and masks. Perspective/Envelope and Lattice Deformation 2 enable artists to interactively deform/transform drawing elements. Other new features enable interactive mirroring, interactive rotation of copies along an arc or circle, and dozens of other additions and enhancements. All software must evolve with the times, and Inkscape is no different. To maintain consistency with the CSS standard, Inkscape's default resolution has changed from 90dpi to 96dpi; Inkscape will detect files created with previous versions and offer to convert them. A number of infrastructural changes are in process to help Inkscape keep up with progress. For 0.92 we are changing to the CMake build system, which builds faster and is easier for developers to work with. (Future infrastructure changes include switching from bzr to git, shifting from Gtk2 to Gtk3, and moving to the C++11 standard.) The above barely scratches the surface of all the new stuff included in this release. For the full story, including examples, screenshots, and videos, please see our detailed Release Notes: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92 If you're on Linux, you'll soon be able to install Inkscape 0.92 from your distribution via normal methods. We also intend to publish a distribution-independent snap file for Inkscape 0.92. If you're on Windows, we have a set of packages that we hope will let you maximize performance on your platform. For Mac OS X, no packages are available -- our old (X11/XQuartz) packaging was long overdue to be updated to current standards and is no longer being maintained. If you wish to compile Inkscape yourself, then of course, the Inkscape source code is also available from our website. The Inkscape Project thrives due to your support. We are a volunteer-driven community built from thousands of contributions of time, skill, and funds, to create a powerful open source tool that is made available for free to everyone in the world. We invite you to join our community and participate in helping advance Inkscape towards new objectives. Come help us chart out the new directions that Inkscape needs to take! Inkscape is created *by* the community *for* the community. Your donations also help further Inkscape's mission. You can donate to Inkscape's general fund, or target your donation to support our SVG Standards work or Hackfests. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Join Inkscape at: https://inkscape.org/community/ Become a donor at: https://inkscape.org/support-us/ Download Inkscape at: https://inkscape.org/download/ Watch our showcase at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI1hxXt9U4c --------------------------------------------------------------------

add new row/col in gradient mesh?
by brynn 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Hi Friends, Is it possible to add a new row or column to the gradient mesh, after the mesh is already created? I've looked at the wiki page, but it doesn't say. I've tried double-clicking on a row or column, but it doesn't add any new node/stop or row or column. I've tried spinning the number on the control bar, but doesn't do it either. I know that double-clicking on a regular linear or radial gradient is supposed to add a stop, but it doesn't work for me. I always have to use the gradient control bar to add new stops. So I wouldn't be surprised if that's how the mesh is supposed to work, but doesn't. I'm thinking of posting a feature request "bug" report, but not sure whether I need to ask for the ability to add nodes/stops, rows or columns; or just the extra button on the control bar. Thanks for your help, brynn PS - Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92pre3, 32-bit, exe installer

no redo in 0.92pre3
by brynn 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Hi Friends, I don't seem to have any redo capability in 0.92pre3. I know since 0.91, it's been not working properly (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1372151). But at least after making certain actions, it would jump into action. But now, I haven't seen it working at all, through making a fairly significant image (to test the gradient mesh). (It's almost finished.) Aside from using the gradient mesh tool, I've used a ton of node editing (which is what would bring the redo back into action in 0.91, but doesn't now), some filters, some clipping, an extension, used a layer blending mode. But at no time have I been able to redo anything. The button remains grayed out constantly. Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92pre3, 64-bit, 7z package. Any other info I can provide? Should I make a bug report? Thanks, brynn PS - Merry Christmas to those who celebrate :-)

Re: [Inkscape-user] how to uninstall

Hy there. Schones Neues Jarh! Indeed this is uncommon. A terrible solution would be to try to reinstall all files and then copy the log files of where all files where copied to and then manually remove them. :( If you don't have any icon in control panel, start menu, desktop or inside the main program folder I would assume deleting is not terrible... but yew it would leace some lost files behind.

But I don't know what else to do. Also, I wonder if this might point to a problem with the installer. I'm pretty sure I know what caused it. When I installed it, I changed the name of the folder where it wanted to put it. The installer wanted to put it in a folder called "Inkscape". But I wanted the version number (because eventually I'll have more than 1 version) so I changed it to "Inkscape 091". I don't know why the installer allows that to be changed, if it's going to cause a problem. But I'd be happy just to get it uninstalled. Any Windows user who has an idea?

selecting multiple mesh node/stops part 2
by brynn 01 Jan '17

01 Jan '17

Hi Friends, Recently I posted a feature request, to be able to color multiple gradient mesh nodes/stops at once, using the dropper tool. But now, I think I might have found a bug. If I drag a selection box around several nodes, I expect those to become highlighted, and they do. If I drag around some different nodes, those also become highlighted. However, the ones that were highlighted before are still highlighted, instead of becoming deselected. It's as if I was holding the Shift key, but I wasn't. Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92pre3, 32-bit, exe installer. Need a test tile or other files? Shall I make a bug report? Or is this expected behavior, for some reason? Thank you very much, brynn

Pen/Bezier tool mode for 0.92
by brynn 01 Jan '17

01 Jan '17

Hi Friends, This is in reference to this thread, from back in Oct 2016: https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/35444910/ I'm on a different computer, so I can't reply to it. I had reported that the Pen/Bezier tool was in BSplinePath mode by default, in 0.92pre2. It was later discovered that was happening, because I typically was using that tool in Straight Line mode, previously. Now I'm using 0.92pre3, and I realize that the Pen/Bezier tool is in BSplinePath mode every time I open Inkscape. I thought that once I changed it, Inkscape would remember. But I have to re-set the mode every time I open Inkscape. Can this be fixed, short of deleting the entire prefs file? Thank you very much, brynn

help with intuos3
by Joanne Rancourt 01 Jan '17

01 Jan '17

First of all I would like to wish you all a happy and healthy new year. I was wondering if any of you could help me with my wacom intuos3 tablet or let me know of a forum that could help me. I have never used it on my laptop so thought I would try. I installed the latest driver, restarted my computer (windows 7) and then when I open properties I get a message that says a supported tablet is not found on system. If I open paint it seems to work as a simple mouse when I use the pen. What am I doing wrong ? I know it is an old table but would really like to use it still. Any ideas ? or where I could ask ? thanks, Joanne

guides not snapping to mesh nodes/stops (0.92pre3)
by brynn 01 Jan '17

01 Jan '17

Hi Friends, I'm still testing the gradient mesh tool. I can snap the mesh nodes/stops to a guide. But if I drag out a guide while using the mesh tool, the guide won't snap to the nodes/stops. I'm not sure if the guide should be expected to snap to the nodes/stops, but it seems reasonable to me. Should I make a bug report? Or is there some explanation why it's not a bug?

error with gradient mesh - too many heap sessions
by brynn 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Hi Friends, I've just been working on an image testing the gradient mesh. Suddenly out of nowhere (specifically, I was dragging a handle in the mesh, not a node/stop, but handle) a small window popped up with the titlebar "Error in GC" and the message "Too many heap sessions". When I Ok'd that little window, Inkscape closed or crashed. So I can potentially avoid it in the future, what does that mean? And just a general question, while I'm here. It seems the tool is limited to 20 x 20 rows and columns. Or is there some way to get more? Thanks for your help :-)

gradient mesh, multiple nodes, dropper tool
by brynn 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

Hi Friends, Just playing with the new gradient mesh tool, to give feedback from a newbie (as opposed to professional or artist). Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92pre3. After selecting multiple mesh nodes, I switch to the Dropper tool, so I can grab a color from an imported raster image. But as soon as I switch tools, only the last mesh node that was selected is still highlighted. So I can't color multiple mesh nodes at once, using Dropper tool. However, if I use just the palette to change the colors, that works as expected, to color multiple nodes at once. Should I make a bug report for this? Thanks, brynn

0.92pre3 feedback - flickering pointer icon during drags
by brynn 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Hi Friends, I've just been playing with 0.92pre3, eventually to try the gradient mesh tool. But first I'm drawing the object. One thing I notice that's never happened before, is that while I'm dragging a node or dragging an object (probably dragging anything, but I haven't tested everything yet) that old Windows "wait" pointer icon, the little hourglass, is flickering the whole time during the drag. Since I've made my pointer icons larger, it probably is bigger than it appears for most Windows users. But even if it were smaller, it still is annoying as heck! Possibly could be related to using the Windows Classic theme?? I've looked through Inkscape Preferences, and I don't see anything obvious that might control this. But of course I often don't understand the meaning of things. Is there any way to turn off this icon (except for disabling it globally)? I made a video, in case you don't already know what it looks like. Note that what I see in Inkscape is slightly different from the video. The video shows the icon is flickering intermittently. But that must be some effect of the recording. In Inkscape, the icon is there constantly, and flickering fast. (If I were to guess, maybe 4 or 5 times per second.) https://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/vids/flicker.mp4 Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, brand new computer with 8 gb RAM, i7 processor. 0.92pre3, 64-bit, 7z version Thank you very much, brynn PS (Part of the reason I couldn't accept Windows 10 was the lack of the Windows Classic theme, so that's how I have a brand new computer with an old os. I hope to be a full time Linux user by the time MS ends support for Windows 7.)

installing on Windows, 32-bit vs 64-bit
by brynn 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

Hi Friends, I'm not sure if this is something I just don't understand, or if it's particular to Inkscape. I recently learned that part of my understanding of 64 vs 32-bit was incorrect. So maybe I have this part wrong too. I'm installing Inkscape on a new 64-bit Windows 7 Pro computer (my old one is also 64-bit, but Win7 Home). Generally, for programs which are made for 64-bit systems, they usually are installed in C:\Program Files. And when I install a 32-bit version of a program, it usually goes in C:\Program Files (x86). First I installed 0.91 for 32-bit, because there's a particular issue with 64-bit that I want to avoid (for the short time until 0.92 is released stable). I used the EXE installer, and I let the installer put it where it thought was best, and it went into Program Files (x86), as I expected. But I also want to play with the gradient mesh tool, so I decided to install 0.92pre3. I think the problem that I want to avoid with the 32-bit version of 0.91 is now fixed. So for 0.92pre3, I chose the EXE installer for 64-bit Inkscape. When I first started the installation, it warned me that I already had Inkscape installed. I thought that was odd, because the 32-bit version was in Program Files (x86) and I thought the 64-bit version was supposed to go in Program Files. So I went past that part, and next there was a more specific warning, naming the folders and showing the filepath. I went on through that part too, and I specifically was watching to see where the installer wanted to put it. I was surprised when it actually did want to put it in Program Files (x86). So do I have some kind of misunderstanding of how 32- and 64-bit programs are installed? Or is it a correct understanding, but Inkscape does it differently for some reason? Thanks for your patience with my perrenial newbiness :-) Thanks for your help, brynn

Survey Published!
by Victor Westmann 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Ok! So against all odds I went ahead and published my personal, independent and unofficial Inkscape survey! I tried LimeSurvey, SurveyMonkey and some others but they all had annoying limitations (needed to be a subscriber, accepted only 100 answers, allowed me to write only 10 questions (or so)) and those services were not working out for me. So I went ahead and published 9 questions Inkscape users should answer to fill my own survey. Don't you guys be worried I'll take all the onus to process and show this data later. I MADE SURE TO STATE THAT THE SURVEY IS INDEPENDENT AND UNOFFICIAL. So, again, no worries. The name of the community was not used by me by any means. :-) I published in Twitter, Facebook communities (a few) and Google Plus. Please take a look: https://goo.gl/forms/ttE6iB2IE7VCqtnb2 The reason I'm using Google Forms is because it's easy for people to submit their answers, questions look good and all the survey takes less than 1 minute to answer. Hope you all have an amazing weekend! --Victor Westmann

Dear all, I'm just starting out with Inkscape but I have this feeling there is something wrong with my installation. I'm running Inkscape 0.91 on Ubuntu 16.10 (i.e., I installed from a package and not source). I'm trying to draw an arrow. After I draw a line with the Bezier tool, I hit Shift+CTRL+F and select the Stroke style tab. From there, I think if I want an arrow head, I would select it from one of the 3 pull-down lists next to the word "Markers". However, I have no choices to choose from. I just have a horizontal line. When I click on them, I have nothing to choose from. A colleague is using the Microsoft Windows version and can confirm that he has arrow heads to choose from using the same steps that I'm using. Am I missing something? A setting perhaps? I've tried looking for instructions online to "activate" the markers but can't seem to find anything...though, in truth, I'm not sure what I should be looking for. Thank you and sorry for the very basic question! Ray

Launchpad issue

Hi Friends, I used to be automatically subscribed to any bug report in which I have commented (or started the report myself). But I just made a couple of comments and noticed I wasn't getting an email. Then I looked at the reports again, and it showed that I was not subscribed. I went to my profile in LP and saw an option to "Change email settings". Not sure if that would give me a way to be subscribed to any report where I post a comment, I clicked on it to find out. Even though I'm already logged in (I just posted comments), I'm prompted to log in to something called Ubuntu One. I'm currently a Windows user ,and already logged in. There isn't any option to bypass this Ubuntu One login. So how can I get to the email settings? Thank you very much, brynn

Congratulations arelnjeru01 !!! And thanks Martin for all your hard work making the website working to handle the contest. I know there were some glitches along the way, but it's all worked out in the end. Well done!! I have some vague memory from last time, that the 2nd place entry becomes the about screen for the next dev version. But I could be wrong.

Please pass around the good news to all. The entrants this year were really VERY good, even those that didn't make this round of voting. I'm going to leave the committing of the winning entry to the repository to someone else. If you'd like to do this job, please download the svg directly from the above link. We can select a developer's about screen for trunk too, any of the entrants can be considered and I don't think we need a vote on that. Or we can keep the machine robot we have now, both are good.

Looks awesome Jabier! I can see this being useful for cell-shading comics, and it masks the issue Inkscape has where a small gap is rendered between adjacent fill edges. Thanks for the demo! -C On 26 Nov 2016 10:25 pm, "Jabier Arraiza" <jabier.arraiza@...2982...> wrote: Hi all. I just do a tiny extension on inkscape.org extension page.

Re: [Inkscape-user] 0.92pre3 - error with 7z version

If I knew how to make a super detailed step by step video I would... but I don't. :( Would love if someone did this. :) On Nov 22, 2016 12:16 PM, "Brynn" <brynn@...3089...> wrote: Hi Friends, I've just downloaded 0.92pre3, 64-bit, 7z version, for Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1. After extracting it, when I click on inkscape.exe, I get the following error message. "C:\Users\.....inkscape.exe is not a valid Win32 application." Same thing with 32-bit, 7z version. For both, 7z gives me a long string of Diagnostic Messages. I don't see any way to save this list of messages. (There are over 4000.) There is no option for saving or exporting. The only available option is Close. There is no context menu for the contents of the window. I can't highlight anything either. (Well, I can highlight the message numbers, but if Ctrl c is copying them, then Ctrl v is not pasting (into Notepad).) Oh, but every single one of them starts with "Unsupported compression method for....." It's possible my version of 7z is old. I could try upgrading, if it's possible that could be the reason. Let me know if I can provide any further info, files, docs, etc. Or make a bug report.
