Version 0.91 Frequent crashes
by Steve 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi folks, I wonder if anyone else is seeing frequent crashes with this new version? I don't see any remarks to this effect in this forum and a quick look at the Inkscape Launchpad doesn't reveal anything to me. I'm running Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on Windows x64 and when I paste an image into an Inkscape page, the application crashes. Every time. I plan to uninstall and reinstall. Maybe try the win32 version of the application. If nothing helps, I'll go back to the prior release which was rock stable for me. Cheers, Steve

GSOC 2015 application - vouch for Valentina?
by Susan Spencer 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi Inkscape devs and users, At various times Valentina <http://www.valentina-project.org> patternmaking software and it's predecessor projects have reached out to the Inkscape community with questions, and you have responded graciously with supportive answers and suggestions. Thanks to you, Valentina has grown quite a bit this past year. We are applying to GSOC 2015 as a mentoring organization. To be accepted, we need one or more established organizations to vouch for us in their GSOC 2015 application. If Inkscape is applying for GSOC 2015, would you please consider vouching for 'Valentina' in your application? If anyone is curious, we have started a Project Ideas page here: https://bitbucket.org/dismine/valentina/wiki/GSOC%202015%20Ideas%20Page The list should change and expand over the next two weeks so keep checking back. Thanks for all your awesome work! Best, Susan Spencer *www.valentina-project.org* <http://www.valentina-project.org> *https://bitbucket.org/dismine/valentina <https://bitbucket.org/dismine/valentina>* *@ValentinaPSW*

Thinking of attending SCALE 13x? Inkscape booth could use your help.
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi people, I'm just sending out a quick note to explicitly invite any Inkscape users, devs or other interested parties to come to SCALE 13x and spend a little time helping to represent the project in the exhibit hall. The conference has provided us booth space again, along with a set of passes for those helping. Even being able to spend an hour or two over the weekend could be helpful. And in case you or anyone you know might be wondering about attending SCALE, I have a discount code that can be used. Since I'm speaking, the conference has given us the promotional code 'SPEAK' to advertise. Use it to get a 50% discount. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/13x -- Jon A. Cruz jon@...204...

Asset creation for SCALE 13x conference
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi, Inkscape will once again have a booth at the SCALE 13x conference this year ( http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/13x ). To help with our presence, and to highlight the new release, we are producing some assets for the booth. We will be getting a large two-sided banner that will also be usable for future conferences Inkscape might have a presence at. And for giving away at the booth we will be getting some mini-business cards and stickers. The latter two will be done through moo.com. If anyone would like to lend a hand with suggesting or creating graphics for these pleas let me know. We might have a line on designs for the banners and mini cards, but much will depend on the availability of different individuals. The stickers will be a run of 180 total, but we can have many designs up to each sticker being different. As far as timing goes, it would be good for me to get the cards and stickers ordered ASAP to ensure delivery for the opening of the conference. So feel free to contact me for details and format requirements if you might be interested. -- Jon A. Cruz jon@...204...

Installing Inkscape for use by Cygwin command line
by Brenton Horne 05 Feb '15

Hi, I've got Inkscape installed on my Windows 7 64 bit OS, but Cygwin doesn't recognize Inkscape as a valid command executed from the command-line. Does anyone know how I can get it to recognize this command? Thanks for your time, Brenton

Reducing SVG filesizes --- auto-identify clones?
by William Adams 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Anyone remember Aldus Intellidraw? Anyway, I'm working on re-drawing the diagrams for the Shapeoko (an opensource CNC mill/router/lasercutter/3D printer kit) so as to improve the appearance and reduce the filesizes. Files were really bloated by having been exported as .pdfs from Autodesk Inventor (or some other commercial 3D design tool) and being comprised of lots of short little paths: http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20022-100.svg Re-drawing the files results in a greatly reduced filesize and (I think) a nicer appearance: http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20029-100.svg (replacing a single M5 nut w/ the hand-drawn version lowers the filesize by ~100KB --- other parts yield similar savings, while bolts are several times that) This still leaves a lot of instances of identical parts being used multiple times --- is there a way to have the program automatically identify identical objects and set them to be clones? I've looked, but can't find anything --- (if memory serves) this was a nifty feature of Aldus Intellidraw, and one which I missed. I did find the Vacuum Defs command (saved ~4,000 bytes) and I found this post: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4314#p19654 so will be trying: > • Experiment with the 'SVG output' settings in 'Inkscape Preferences'. > • Save a Copy as 'Plain SVG (*.svg)' > • Save a Copy as 'Optimized SVG (*.svg)' which uses the python script 'scour' to optimize the SVG file size. > • Save a Copy as 'Compressed (plain) SVG (*.svgz)' William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

Inkscape Version 0.91 is Released!
by Bryce Harrington 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

The Inkscape community proudly announces the release of Inkscape 0.91. https://inkscape.org/en/download/ Inkscape is a drawing and painting tool similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, and Xara X, but with features, new tools, and interface style of its own. It emphasizes the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format, but reads and writes a wealth of other formats including PDF, so it is an easy complement to your other graphics and desktop tools. Best of all, Inkscape is created *by* the community *for* the community: Inkscape is 100% Open Source and freely available to everyone in the world. This release marks the culmination of a multi-year effort to switch to a new internal graphics rendering engine, Cairo. This brings performance enhancements and more accurate rendering of drawings. Thanks go especially to Google for sponsoring much of this work. A new Trace Pixel Art feature enables creation of vector art from bitmaps, sprites, and icons. A new Symbols Library provides reusable graphics elements - you can even read in Visio symbol libraries. New Snapping options and improved Snap preferences make it easier to quickly place items in the alignments you need. The tools for arranging objects offer several new ways to position the elements of a drawing. Tons of other little improvements have been made across all the other tools as well. Several new file formats are supported, including FXG, SIF and HTML5 export; and VSD and CDR import. EMF/WMF are now readable and writable for all platforms. And XCF, PDF, EPS, and PS+LaTeX support are improved. Inkscape has a rich Extension ecosystem, which is well known for bringing clever, cool, and innovative new ideas. Over a dozen new extensions are added in this release, including an Isometric Grid Generator, a Bitmap Cropper, a Text Extractor and a Text Merger, an HSL Adjuster, a Font Replacer, a Voronoï Diagram Creator, and more. The above barely scratches the surface of all the new stuff included in this release. For the full story, including examples and screenshots, please see our detailed Release Notes: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.91 The Inkscape developers plan to meet for a 3-day Hackfest in Toronto at the end of April 2015. You can help us to improve Inkscape by donating to help cover travel, room and board so our international volunteer developers can attend the hackfest in person: https://inkscape.org/en/donate/hackfest/ Bryce

Yoshimi needs an artist
by Abrolag 25 Jan '15

Yoshimi is a FLOSS soft-synth that is in need of a start-up splash image. The project page that includes a copy of the desktop icon is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi/?source=directory A bit of history and information about how the name came about is: http://yoshimi.sourceforge.net/ My first thought was something along the lines of Yoshimi throwing various musical symbols at the robots cowering in the corner, but am open to any other ideas. Ideally, I would like to present several options to people on the yoshimi-user list and for them to vote on which they prefer. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

People, I have been using Inkscape for years (not heavily) and love it but there is a minor thing that I always thought should be changed: I think the Save button should grey out when a save has been made - then a glance will tell you whether any changes have been made or not.

Inkscape plug-in for Git?

I looked, but couldn't find one (and of course, it's hard to search for). I work w/ a couple of diagrams for the Shapeoko 2 on github --- is there a plug-in for Inkscape similar to: https://github.com/almonk/sketchgit for Sketch? Even cooler would be one which would allow automatic opening / uploading of images to a Mediawiki site (finally managed to get SVG support enabled for the Shapeoko wiki).

Re: [Inkscape-user] [Inkscape-devel] how to write Inkscape extensions - guide needed

Thanks Shlomi Fish and Alex Valavanis! Alex: Tutorial on the wiki? I didn't know there was any such. Where is it? Maybe it's what I've been looking for. Are you suggesting I could use the Extension Subsystem section by itself, as a guide? I don't think I have the proper software to extract that section (copy it) and make it into a stand-alone PDF. Maybe would be simpler to delete everything else, but I don't think I have the tools. (I only have Adobe Reader) I'm also not sure if a multi-page PDF can be uploaded to InkSpace..... But I'll test it. Shlomi Fish: When you say: "4. My code demonstrates how to call one extensions from within another by piping it through a python command" does that mean there is more than 1 way to make an extension?

Call for Participation: Libre Graphics Meeting 2015
by Femke Snelting 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Dear Inkscapers, I'm sending this on behalf of the rest of the local organizing team and program team, your proposals for talks and/or workshops are more than welcome! Please feel free to distribute widely. Femke //////////////////////// *Libre Graphics Meeting 2015: Beyond The First Decade* http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2015/call-for-participation/ The tenth annual international Libre Graphics Meeting 2015 will take place 29 April – 2 May 2015 in Toronto, Canada. This yearly event is an occasion for teams and individual contributors/artists involved in Libre Graphics to work together, to share experiences and to hear about new ideas. By Libre Graphics we mean Free, Libre and Open Source tools for design, illustration, photography, typography, art, graphics, page layout, publishing, cartography, animation, video, interactive media, generative graphics and visual live-coding. The Libre Graphics Meeting is not just about software, but extends to standards, file formats and actual use of these in creative work. We are looking for: * In-depth presentations of Libre Graphics code-contributions * Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools * New and experimental projects in this area to meet the wider community * Reports, use-cases, best practices * Talks that show the accomplishments and strides that Libre Graphics has made in its first decade and what it can do next Available formats (times include Q&A): * Lightning talk (7 minutes, selected at the event unconference style) * Presentations (20 minutes) * Entry for State of the Libre Graphics Union (1-2 slides) * Workshops (1 or 2 hours)* * Birds Of a Feather (BOF), discussion meetings or Hackathons (2 hrs or more) *State of the Libre Graphics Union* We will kick off the event with a joint session that sums up all things that have happened in our wide landscape over the last year. Instead of slots in the schedule for general updates on each and every Libre Graphics project, we invite you to submit a maximum of two slides, showcasing new abilities and/or text enumerating the leaps forward that your project made. *Special focus: Beyond The First Decade* Because 2015 marks the tenth edition of LGM, the focus this year is on the past and future of Libre Graphics. We have a special interest this year in projects that show where Libre Graphics has been, what distances it has travelled, and where it might go in the next ten years. We welcome submissions representing the broad ecology of Libre Graphics, from full-fledged software packages, to artist-built scripts, to art and publications, and even the cultural touchstones and issues present in Libre Graphics communities. We’re looking for talks, workshops and other events that show the accomplishments and strides that Libre Graphics has made in its first decade and what it can do next.

how to write Inkscape extensions - guide needed
by Brynn 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

Hi Friends, I think I asked this before, but it was mixed up with another subject. And there seems to be a bit of a lull in the action, on the dev mailing list. So I thought it would be a good time to try again, when this is the only subject. In forums, probably 3 to 5 times in a year, people post a message asking either how to write an extension for Inkscape, or about some technical aspect of writing an extension. Or another version is - how to get an extension they wrote to be packed with Inkscape. Unfortunately, most of us don't have a clue about any of it, and there is no place to refer them. Now I'm working on fleshing out the Contribute page of the website, and it would be really nice to be able to provide a link to some kind of guide, or instructions, or article on the subject. It doesn't necessarily need to be a newbie's guide; so it wouldn't be teaching someone like me to write an extension. It would be addressed towards people who already have the needed skills and experience. So if anyone is interested, it would really be a great benefit to the Inkscape community, to have some information, in any kind of format, on how to write an Inkscape extension. It could be placed on the Inkscape wiki, or maybe even in your InkSpace (the gallery on the website) in Tutorials category. Thanks in advance, and thanks for listening. If anyone is interested, just let me know where to find it, when finished, and a link will be included on the Contribute page. :-) Thanks again, brynn
