Zoom out with right button
by Aewyn Vienna 22 May '04

22 May '04

Hello, I post it to wishlist too, I write here just for say: it would be a very-very useful feature: zoom out with right mouse button (after selecting zoom tool). Now, inkscape use it for shift+left button (or +/-, but it is slow to get off hand from mouse), gimp use ctrl+left (or +/-, but it doesnot work with numeric keyboard). So, it is hard a little bit to find "zoom out" after working hours with gimp (for me). Thanks!

Inkscape - insensitive mode
by Adam Pearson 22 May '04

22 May '04

Hi all Please forgive a newcomer to Inkscape and someone who knows nothing about the programming behind the screen: Using the selector tool, I can make objects/groups of objects "insensitive", which is potentially very useful as I can then use it like e.g. Photoshop to make a quasi-layer BUT Can I undo this later - i.e. can I come back to the "insensitive" object or group and "re-activate" it? Regards to all Adam in Australia

If not (e.g. because > it is hardcoded), can someone point me to a location > in the code where I can change it? The only place where the font size is hard-coded is the top panel (under the menu). The menu and the dialogs use standard font size. And on my system, for example, the font size of Sodipodi 0.34 is noticeably smaller than that of Inkscape. Gimp 2.0 has the same font size as Inkscape. So it's more likely that Sodipodi decreases its global font size artificially (although I don't know how, could anyone explain how this is possible?). >2) It seems inkscape expects all strings (including > file names) to be UTF-8 encoded (although I do not > use a UTF-8 locale, but de_DE@...120... Thus file names > that contain german umlauts etc. cause trouble. Should not happen. This was fixed long ago. Now we use the system locale encoding for filenames. At least, KOI8-R filenames work for me. > Setting G_BROKEN_FILENAME helped here but problems > with german umlauts in sodipodi graphics remain. (I > removed them by editing the svg files manually > before loading them into inkscape). I think I know what you mean. Sodipodi (and early Inkscape) is broken in that it stores the filenames inside the SVG file in sodipodi:docname attribute, but does not recode them from the locale encoding to UTF-8. However everything inside SVG must be in UTF-8 as specified by the XML encoding declaration. Therefore these old files will cause trouble. Simply remove the docname and docbase attributes to make them parse. >3) With sodipodi I have added text elements to a drawing > which used a fixed width font and contained multiple > blanks to form a simple table.

Check if the element has xml:space="preserve". > How can I enter text so that multiple blanks are > displayed between two words? They are, by default. New text objects are created with xml:space="preserve". If this does not work for you, file a bug with example files attached. _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Font size in menus and dialogs and other things
by Mario Streiber 19 May '04

19 May '04

Hi list, I just built and installed inkscape-0.38.1 successfully on my SuSE Linux 8.1 box. After a few initial problems importing graphics created with sodipodi, at the moment the following issues remain: 1) The font size of menus and dialogs is very small. Is there a way of changing it, e.g. to the default size that other GTK apps use? If not (e.g. because it is hardcoded), can someone point me to a location in the code where I can change it? 2) It seems inkscape expects all strings (including file names) to be UTF-8 encoded (although I do not use a UTF-8 locale, but de_DE@...120... Thus file names that contain german umlauts etc. cause trouble. Setting G_BROKEN_FILENAME helped here but problems with german umlauts in sodipodi graphics remain. (I removed them by editing the svg files manually before loading them into inkscape). Is there a way for inkscape to use other than UTF encoding? 3) With sodipodi I have added text elements to a drawing which used a fixed width font and contained multiple blanks to form a simple table. But inkscape prints only one blank for any number of blanks in a row. How can I enter text so that multiple blanks are displayed between two words? Thanks in advance Mario

Hi all, I am wondering if there is a function to make two objects split into separate objects where they overlap. There is a function in Illustrator to do just that, but I can't seem to find a similar function in Inkscape. Thanks, Lee

WM_Class
by Trent Buck 12 May '04

12 May '04

This should probably be to -devel, but I'm in a hurry. Is it possible to make the WM_CLASS property of Inkscape's dialog equal to, say, "Inkscape", "inkscape-dialog" instead of having all windows as "Inkscape", "inkscape"? I want to try messing about with my WM's window-ignore preferences, since I think Inkscape will then work better with my WM (http://ratpoison.sf.net). -trent -- Join the hundreds of people on the Internet! -- installing OS2/Warp

>Is it possible to make the WM_CLASS property of Inkscape's dialog >equal to, say, "Inkscape", "inkscape-dialog" instead of having all >windows as "Inkscape", "inkscape"? Sure. You can ensure that this is done prompty if you help developers by researching what is the proper GTK/GDK function call for setting that property. I will then add it to the code. Also it would be nice if you then contribute an item to tips&tricks tutorial describing how to use this property from a WM and what is possible to do with it. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Inkscape and wacom
by MenTaLguY 10 May '04

10 May '04

In case anyone was wondering, Wacom tablets do work with Inkscape if they are configured to act as regular pointing devices. It works "out of the box" with Apple's X server, but with XFree86 you will need to have the "SendCoreEvents" option turned on if you do not already. I believe it should just work on Windows also, though I have not tried it. Note that we do not support pressure/tilt sensitivity or any tablet-specific features yet. -mental

>I believe it should just work on Windows also, though I have not tried >it. Actually no, at least not for me. When I reboot into win98 my wacom works bad with windows Inkscape, it gets press/release signals maybe only 1/4 of the time, I have to press several times to register a click, and then press still more to release it.

example Inkscape works
by Artemio 09 May '04

09 May '04

Hello there! Once again I must admit how happy I am to use Inkscape - it has become no. 1 application that I use - see the attachment if you need proof ;-) Here is the list of example sites created by me, that use graphics by Inkscape. http://artemio.net My home site. The interface has actually been drawn in sodipodi (as I didn't know about Inkscape when I was creating thisone), but the rest (the icons on the main page etc.) is all by Inkscape. http://artemiolabs.com My audio laboratory site. 100% Inkscape. http://lilija.com.ua (in Russian) The site of a florictic shop where my sister works. 100% Inkscape. Note: all images were cut and JPEG'd with the GIMP (you guessed). Also, you guys mentioned that we, the users, can send you the screenshots of how we use Inkscape? I think it would be nice if, for example, you create a page on your site with a screnshot showing Inkscape at work and the web site that uses these graphics. If you need such a thing - just tell me. Thanks again for the best graphic editor ever and happy development!

Hello lists I yesterday discover Sodipodi fork, because Sodipodi not satisfy my necessaries. So, for the first time, developers, this is great and best vector editing tool for Linux. I hope this is just beginning, and that Linux will get sometghing like CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator. Great job, again. I today submit couple wishes to feature list. Just for the records. And, now I wish to ask, how I can get archive of inkscape-user list archive in mbox format? Can someone send it to me, or I can download it somewhere on net? TIA P.S.

Re: [Inkscape-user] PNG Export Format
by Brent B 08 May '04

08 May '04

Thanks, Bryce. I have been using GIMP to attempt to export (convert) my image to a 256-color format. GIMP calls this "indexing" the image. It gives fairly good results, but the image edges are somewhat jagged (aliased) compared to the original, pre-export image. So far, GIMP has given the best results with its color indexing schemes and algorithms. Thanks for your help. I love InkScape and hope that the developers can incorporate an 8-bit PNG feature in future releases.

Hello. Does InkScape support exporting to a PNG 8-bit file format (e.g. 256 colors)? If not, how can I save my SVG graphic to an 8-bit PNG file? I need this, since Internet Explorer cannot handle the alpha channel (transparency). I have already tried the utility pngquant, with poor results. I would appreciate any help from anyone.
