Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape interface icons (please good reading and reasoning required)
by MenTaLguY 21 Mar '04

Sorry I missed the whole icons thread, but I've been dealing with family things the past couple weeks... I'm back now though. Both you and Jon have raised good points. I think it makes sense to use SVG files as icons in the same way as PNGs or XPMs or whatever other formats we also support for icons. To my mind though, having a single icons.svg is not a bad thing either, and for right now there are indeed performance reasons to do so. For the immediate future I think the standard icons should ship in icons.svg. But we should offer a range of options for third-party icon sets. Probably we should support at least: * #icon-name-goes-here in an SVG file * icon-name-goes-here.{svg,png,xpm} or whatever in a directory * icon-name-goes-here.{svg,png,xpm} etc in a .jar file Also I think we should take better advantage of the standard Gtk icon themeing facilities. Regardless, right now I have my hands full with the AST code and other projects so I can't implement it myself. If someone wants to come forward with a more detailed design proposal for this (and maybe some patches?) they are strongly encouraged to do so. -mental

(I am new to this newsgroup type effort).? Suggestions are always welcome but it if much more helpful if you are not overly critical (constructive criticism!) and make a resonable aeffort to see if it has not already been suggested in the RFE (Request for Enhancement) pages on Sourceforge. At the moment none of the developers are getting paid to work on Inkscape so it is important not to expect too much too soon but they are an enthusiastic team and are eager to make the best Vector Graphics software they can. If the developers like your idea then they will probably ask you to add a report/RFE to the sourceforge project pages http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93438&atid=604309 > I use illustrator on a daily basis, as I work in a design firm.

I'm hoping that the extensions/plugin system will grow to support existing Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop plugins in the long term. In the shorter term I'm hoping that Inkscape can make use of some of the features of programs like Dia and Sketch which have support for a wider variety of file formats.

You didn't mention anything about fonts you use. My guess is that in Inkscape you simply used a different font which has a different variant of the same glyph. But it's only a guess. View the font(s) you use in Pfaedit to see what glyphs they have for the specific code points. Anyway, we don't yet use Pango for text rendering on the canvas, so it's not likely to affect that. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

awesome program
by Jared Thompson 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

I know this may not be according to the purposes of this list, but I just wanted to say that I recently discovered inkscape and I think it is quite an impressive program so far. I have been playing with it non stop for the past few days and love it, the website is also nice and clean. there are plenty of tips and in the program a help file that gives a good overview to get beginners started I am now trying to install this on the mac osx with fink so that I can use it during the day on my work computer (home computer is linux, on which I have it installed currently.) I will be looking forward to contribute what I can as time goes forward. again, just wanted to say thanks for an awesome program -jared ps. I would have just gone into the chat room, but for some reason it was not able to set up right, so I just wanted to send this email of appreciation.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape interface icons
by Jonathan Phillips 15 Mar '04

Plus, is there really much of a need for themeability of Inkscape? In fact it kinda doesn't make usability sense to change the known icons on the fly. While I understand the idea behind splitting these files into individual ones, and fully support that plan for moving Inkscape to themeability, I must say that I still feel the best course of action is to add icons where not present, and then convert any non-svg (xpms) into icons.svg. Please help me out on this one! After this task is done, then we should look into some of that reorganization.

inkscape interface icons
by Jonathan Phillips 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Hello All, I'm now well versed in how to implement new icons in Inkscape. If you design icons and would like to help develop an excellent icon theme for Inkscape, then either A.) jump on chat and I can show you how to edit icons, and/or B.) Make your icons and forward them to me and I will implement them. There are plenty of icons left to designed. Don't forget that artists are developers as well... I'm moving all icons in the application to icons.svg which is by default at: /usr/local/lib/inkscape/icons/icons.svg If you open that file up and copy how those were laid out, and then name the group of the file icon uniquely, that is the best way to understand how to add/edit icons. Forward me any changes and I'll add them into the app. Jon -- Jonathan Phillips <jon@...41...>

Open SVG from Dia
by bjorn 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Hello, I just found this nice program. What I create from scratch seems to work fine but when I try to load SVG files created with Dia I get strange results. All text and lines get to big resulting in a big pile of text with some small boxes underneth with to wide lines.... If I open the SVG file with Mozilla (Adobe SVG plugin 3.01) my drawing looks good (only slighlt bigger text size than Dia). Perhaps the Dia generates strange SVG files but the Adobe plug-in atleast seems to do a decent job. Is this normal? Can I tune something someware? /Björn
