[Clipart] ANNOUNCE: First official release of Open Clip Art Library (fwd)
by Bryce Harrington 13 Jun '04

13 Jun '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 21:35:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Bryce Harrington <bryce@...69...> To: clipart@...91... Subject: [Clipart] ANNOUNCE: First official release of Open Clip Art Library The first official release package of the Open Clip Art Library is now available in the download section of the website: http://www.openclipart.org/downloads/ openclipart-0.03.tgz This is the "Father's Day, 2004" release. There aren't really any Father's Day type images, though; they're actually all UK road signs. ;-) Nineteen items passed a validation against the OCAL File Guidelines, and these are included in this release. The items that failed were missing RDF metadata sections and did not indicate title, author, and license. A listing of files scanned and a log of the testing results is included for review. A Makefile is included for installation on *nix platforms via the command `make install` as root. `make uninstall` also works. On Windows, users will need to manually install to their preferred directory. While not many items are included in this release, the focus has been to find and establish a process for accepting, checking, and packaging the files. With these in place, future releases will be quicker and easier to put out. :-) Bryce _______________________________________________ clipart mailing list clipart@...91... http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart

Some questions....
by Florent 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Hi, In first, thank you for Inkscape and for all your work. I think that you are habit to hear congratulations, so : here are some questions and some suggestions.... Is there a way , in the "Fill & Stroke" display, to set the unit of the color ? (for example : #00 to #FF, 0 TO 255, or 0% TO 100%) I don't see options about 'lock an object', is it possible ? I think that it could be more convenient, when the user open a svg file via the main window, and when this window is "not in use", to open this file in the main window And sorry for my language which I feel very brief, but I'm not really a master with regard to the english language :-/ ... I beg your pardon for that. Florent

Inkscape object opacity
by Adam Pearson 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

Hi all Bear with me if these are dopey questions: Objects appear to have a default opacity (0.75 from the XML editor?) but the item properties dialog box says opacity = 1. So: What is the default opacity and how does one adjust the default? Why do objects that I edit in the XML editor to opacity = 1 still appear on screen as having an opacity? Regards from a puzzled Adam

>Objects appear to have a default opacity (0.75 from the XML editor?) but >the >item properties dialog box says opacity = 1. It's two different opacities. 0.75 is the fill opacity, it's set in the Fill & Stroke dialog, Fill tab, it only affects fill. The Object Properties lets you set an overall opacity of the entire object (both fill and stroke). The two opacity settings are independent. _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

Hello all, I finally got some these illustrator screenshots off my parents laptop I took in December. I posted to the wiki and they are available here: http://cabbage.ucsd.edu/~phillipsjd/media/adobeIllustrator10-win32/ I hope these help in comparing our user interface and in planning out new additions.

Fw: Re: [Inkscape-user] new illustrator screenshots
by Adam Pearson 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

FWIW, I am doing a small project - as a means of learning both Inkscape and Illustrator - on both in parallel and I am already listing comments on what I am doing in each program - that is, I have got my own comparison chart building up. I am not a great believer in these comparisons as they are very personal, depending on each person's background experience, whether they are a keyboard" or "mouse" person, how and in what order they like to do things and so on. As illustration, I worked for 40 + years in the construction industry and it was never possible to say that that project was better than the other one, there are so many different parameters in the contexts. I suspect there will be no "better" program, just "different".

I'm going to be devils advocate here, "FWIW" if you dont back it up with examples it is not worth anything. It is important to manage expectations, it is all to easy to get carried away with enthusiasm but it can backfire badly if (when) users are dissappointed by an interface or are not as impressed by "massive" improvements as we are (particularly improvements to the underlying technology that users wont necessarily appreciate). I think it is important that we make Inkscape look good by keeping the standard of discussion to a high level. But I can see some of Inkscapes stengths. The wealth of keybindings is a big plus, although I'm not sure about the logic of some of them and there is a risk that having a keybing for almost everything will be confusing and potentially cause problems if users misclick but that is a whole other story but this is a big deal and Bulia has done great work. That the User Inteface is in GTK and fits in with my Gnome Desktop is a also bonus. I'll try and list some more of Inkscapes strengths later. Even if we talk only about the User Inteface of Adobe Illustator it still has many tools (to be topical lets say Layers for example) that Inkscape doesnt have (yet ;). You can achieve similar end results without them but Adobe has provide a tool, a better inteface to manage large numbers of objects. You said Inkscape is better so I make it a challenge to you to list more ways, and maybe we can start a comparision chart in the Wiki which would be useful for promoting Inkscape. My point is that I would urge caution when claiming Inkscape is better than anything because there is nothing stopping people from using both. Inkscape can complement and become part of a graphic designers toolset, think of the users, comparisons dont really benifit them. Hopefully I've adequately expressed what I'm trying to say, so ping me back and lets see if we can count the ways we love Inkscape. Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/

>Even if we talk only about the User Inteface of Adobe Illustator it still >has many tools (to be topical lets say Layers for example) that Inkscape >doesnt have (yet ;). It's not a UI issue, it's just missing functionality. This demonstrates that it's difficult to tell apart these two aspects, and for this reason, even though I do consider that the basics are more convenient to work with in Inkscape than in AI, I don't claim that it's more convenient overall - because this will always incite someone to talk about our missing functionality. So let's stay focused on specific issues. After we accumulate enough such small advantages in many areas, the overall balance will be more often judged in our favor (looks like this starts happening already, but in my opinion it's a bit premature). >My point is that I would urge caution when claiming Inkscape is better >than anything because there is nothing stopping people from using both. >Inkscape can complement and become part of a graphic designers toolset, >think of the users, comparisons dont really benifit them. "Use together" is good in theory, but do you know many people who use e.g. both Emacs and vi on equal basis? _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Help needed setting up good Nightly Snapshot system
by chris 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

Hi, Though I've only been playing with inkscape for a couple-three weeks (since the icon-designers' interview), and my only scripting expertise (outside of some rather crude personal shell scripts) is php, I'd love to help out if I can, because I well know this fabulous tool is going to become very important as svg is necessarily implemented in the WC3. I've been looking at autopackage, and feel I could take up that if the need arises. Also, readme's and wiki's are right up my alley. Also: * Code is checked into a subdir of inkscape_project/ I think I could write that one ;-) Anyway, after /. you'll probably be getting a barrage on your request from the more able, but just in case.... axlotl

Help needed setting up good Nightly Snapshot system
by Bryce Harrington 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

Hi all, As Bob mentioned, the visit from Slashdot cratered our nightly Win32 snapshot server, and we need some help coming up with a better solution. No Inkscape experience needed, just need to be familiar with SourceForge, scripting, and compiling apps. The snapshots have proven useful in letting users test out and report on recently implemented features without having to compile it themselves. So this is a pretty highly valued service for the community. What we need going forward is a script or set of scripts that: * Checks out from CVS once a day and compiles for Win/Lin/Mac both debug and optimized. (e.g. via SF compile farm?) * If compilation is successful, post the packages to mirrors (e.g. SourceForge). * Allows users a place on the web to go to to get the latest version * Creates and provides autopackage versions (the AP folks are doing this for us currently, so this may not be necessary but is worth considering if it's not hard to do.) * Doesn't place the administrative responsibility on a single specific person * Code is checked into a subdir of inkscape_project/ * Has a README and/or wiki page explaining install & usage If you'd like to work on this or a piece of it, let me know and we can work out the details.

FASD project: Online survey launched
by unknown＠example.com 25 May '04

25 May '04

Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fasd@...128... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________
