Re: [Inkscape-user] [Bug 1258842] Re: No page for vectors vs. Bitmaps

@Martin Owens https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web/+bug/1258842 You are not as disappointed as I am with you. Irregular is right. How dare you speak to me this way. You were clearly told, before you went ahead and made the page live, that I did not have a working picture plugin. I am not responsible if you do not provide the tools needed to upload image files. It was and/or ought to have been clear to anyone with eyes to see, that the test page relied on external links, and you were directed to this fact. Further, I did not ask you to download files from my web-site. In fact you downloaded the said files without asking, and without my consent. Is this how you generally behave, and treat artists? If so, shame on you, and shame on you for doing it to me. I provided links to those resources only, and not the resources themselves, Inkscape have no claim on them, or right to host those image files. Please remove them, and please refer this matter to the Board. It seems to me, it was a very small thing indeed, especially in the circumstances to ask that someone replace dirty files with clean ones, not least because I did not have the tools, and/or permissions to replace them at that time. We were so close to getting the thing right, and your hostile reaction is totally innapropriate. I have put a lot of hard work into this project, and I have had few thanks for doing so. As a reward for my effort, you have taken artwork which does not belong to you, and in addition you removed my editor priviledges. I cannot trust, or work with you again. Whatever your problem is, it should be with yourself with who you are disappointed, and to be treated and spoken too, by you in this way, is wholly unacceptable. Thanks to you, I have deleted, the guides, and viewBox extension files from my resources directory. I am more dissapointed than you can possiblt know, or imagine, and you can of course file your own bug report. I will not be the assignee for the 'No page for vectors vs. Bitmaps' bug, thank you. -u ---- On Fri, 02 Sep 2016 16:23:22 +0000 Martin Owens <doctormo@...155...> wrote ---- @ugajin - The files you provided on the page were published as live.

** (inkscape.exe:66232): WARNING **: unknown type: v:textRect

** (inkscape.exe:66232): WARNING **: unknown type: v:textRect ** (inkscape.exe:66232): WARNING **: unknown type: v:textBlock When I run inkscape from the command line to do things like convert to PDF, I get a bunch of these warnings. The drawings i'm converting were drawn in inkscape originally. Any idea on how to either: suppress the warnings, or fix the issue? opening the drawing in inkscape GUI does not show any anomalies. Thanks! -- -Andrew Louie :wq

Isometric Inkscape logo
by Martin Owens 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

I thought this design was really interesting and wanted to share with the rest of the inkscape community: https://inkscape.org/it/~Alex_L/%E2%98%85inkscape-icon-for-kde-breeze-i con-theme It's been made so the icon can be visible on dark themes. I kind of like the look, and if we ever did a special version for CNC/cad this is the logo I'd use :-) Best Regards, Martin Owens

Transparency bug with clipping ?
by Pierre Massat 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Dear all, I'm working on a poster (which needs to be delivered tomorrow...), and when attempting to export it as pdf I realized that some transparency was lost. After quite some time spent trying to figure it out, it turns out that it's most likely because of clipping. Transparent objects in a clipped group loose their transparency when exported, while they keep it if their group is not clipped (e.g. when I ungroup the clipped group). Please see the file attached. Try to export it as pdf, with all defaults. You should see that the circles on the main map at the top are transparent, while those who belong to a group that was clipped (for instance in the zoomed map of Europe at the top, or in both maps at the bottom). This looks a lot like a bug to me. Do you know how I can fix that ? I need the clipped version of the map of course, the other one won't fit in my layout... Thank you in advance for your help. Pierre.

Reporting Inkscape crash - howto?
by Donn Ingle 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit and Inkscape is very crashy. I even moved to the stable PPA packages and it's the same. Could someone point me to where I can best make a bug report? The error seems to be: ** (inkscape:9729): CRITICAL **: void sp_ruler_remove_track_widget(SPRuler*, GtkWidget*): assertion 'SP_IS_RULER (ruler)' failed ** (inkscape:9729): CRITICAL **: void sp_ruler_remove_track_widget(SPRuler*, GtkWidget*): assertion 'SP_IS_RULER (ruler)' failed *** Error in `inkscape': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0000000004971570 *** It happens on exit from Inkscape.

Problem/Bug with printerdialog (win64)
by Jan Ingwer Baer 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

The printerdialog in Inkscape always give me 'Letter' as papersize, but my printer uses 'A4'. I think the printerdialog should use the default settings from printer properties. Any chance to change the default papersize in printerdialog?

PDF to AI/DXF/AI/EMF/PLT - use PSTOEDIT
by Jago pearce 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

I need to convert from one cantankerous program to another. For output I have only PDF. For input I have a range of options - AI/DXF/AI/EMF/PLT. Inkscape has DXF both via built in and also the BetterDXF plugin. It can also do SVG of course which can then be converted again to AI potentially with pstoedit. Inkscape has commandline options for batch processing but not for DXF AFAIK. It tok me a while to figure that out. DXF export is support but via GUI. Anyway, the simplest thing is to use pstoedit rather than Inkscape for this task. I'm just putting this out there on the hope that this gets picked up by Google when people are searching for converting vector files for free because at the moment Inkscape is coming up as a suggestion in many search results and I ended up taking a lot of time trying to figure out how to write a batch file when at the end of the day I should have been using pstoedit. AI worked better since DXF will need to you tell it the scale (i.e. mm or cm). Successful command for me was: .\pstoedit input.pdf -f plot-ai out.ai Hope this helps someone out there

new forum and committee
by Brynn 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hi Friends, I just realized I forgot to post this on the user list (posted to dev list few days ago). In case someone doesn't know. Because InkscapeForum.com's admin has all but abandoned the forum, the Inkscape Board voted to form a committee to evaluate the possibility of an official forum (https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/35137071/). (Look for short News item, in inkscape.org soon.) They asked me to chair it, and I agreed. Because InkscapeForum.com could disappear at any time (for all we know) I posted a topic on Inkscape Community, where anyone/everyone can discuss what features they would like to see in a new official forum. http://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=355.0 If anyone doesn't want to register a new account (I understand, I have sooo many passwords) they could use either the Contact form (in the menu bar near top of page), or email, and I'll post their comments for them. After 1 week or so more discussion time, or until the discussion fades away, the committee with start its work. If anyone is interested in participating on the committee, please let me know what email address you'd like to use. Anyone/everyone welcome (to post feature requests or to be on the committee) :-) Thanks, brynn

extension grid crashing (make bug report?)
by Brynn 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Hi Friends, I'm trying to use Extensions menu > Render > Grids > Isometric, but it keeps crashing Inkscape. It's always when I'm using the Live Preview. Sometimes it crashes when I uncheck the preview (which I think might be a known bug for many extensions). But it's crashing otherwise as well. When I try to adjust the the variables, while Live Preview is on, usually the crash happens while I'm trying to change the 3rd value. Error messages : First there's that one that's something about Runtime and some "unusual way". Then it's the message box that shows where the backup was saved. I've searched LP for existing reports, but didn't find anything. But because I don't usually have very good luck with searching, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a report about this. Otherwise, I guess I should make one? This is on Windows 7, 64-bit and Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer. I suspect it probably also happens in the 64-bit version. I'll test it right after post this. It's happening in brand new blank files, with nothing else but the preview, on the canvas. If it's not already reported, is there any other kind of documentation I should provide? Thank you very much, brynn PS - Oh, interesting! Doesn't seem to be happening in the 64-bit version! TA :-)

Why does Inkscape require dbus?
by Steve Litt 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

Hi all, I just found out Inkscape has a dependency on dbus, and as a guy trying to minimize dbus use and eventually kick it off my computer, I have to ask why it's needed by Inkscape. Inkscape is a translator back and forth between an enhanced SVG XML and a hand drawing. What need is there for dbus?
