Precision of document size.
by john Culleton 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

I want to create a document of 6.125 x 9.25 inches. However the tab for Document properties won't let me insert 6.125, only 6.12. I can use 6.13 for now. But I wonder if there is a setting for three decimal places somewhere?

> Any suggestions? John: Is it really necessary to make everything in SVG? It would be pretty easy to put the SVG in a div container and an html5 video player in other and make them overlap with css.

svg, web pages and video.

Web pages can be produced in svg by Inkscape. I would like to provide such a page with a video on it. I can use the linking feature to go to e.g. Youtube. The problem is the return path. How do I get users to come back to the originating page? -- John Culleton Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Inkscape 0.48.2 is out!
by Josh Andler 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Hey All, I just realized that apparently my brain was not working right a week and a half ago when announcing everywhere else, I forgot to notify the user list! I apologize greatly! After 5 months of bug fixing and vacation delays out of our control, the Inkscape Community is proud to announce that Inkscape 0.48.2 is out. This is our second bug fix release for 0.48 and it contains over 60 bug fixes to improve stability and functionality on all platforms. Check out the milestone page ( https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+milestone/0.48.2 ) for the full list of closed bug reports, or just jump right to downloading your package for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X ( http://inkscape.org/download/ ). We are also determined to make at least one more point release before it's time for 0.49. Stay tuned for more news! If you are a Windows user it is highly recommended to upgrade as it includes a security fix to a library we use. Cheers, Josh

by Plácido Sousa 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hi all, for those interested here is a svg file with inskape iconset optimized for 16x16 px, specially useful if you're using a laptop with less resolution. to install the file copy it to "/usr/share/inkscape/icons/" in linux. or "c;/programs/inkscape/share/icons/" in windows. to change the icons size goto: file - inkscape preferences- interface and choose smaller for all toolbars. The file is not particularly optimized since its a work in progress - feel free to use it and change it. enjoy. -- > Plácido André Sousa http://twitter.com/placidoaps http://sites.google.com/site/chezplacide/Home http://chezplacide.blogspot.com placidoaps@...155... .-. /v\ L I N U X // \\ >Phear the Penguin< /( )\ ^^-^^

Depending on which color profiles and rendering intents you use for converting RGB to CMYK and back. the loss of precision could be huge. Doing that you'll loose even in-gamut colors, since the conversion isn't bidirectional and all the color values are likely to be affected. My suggestion is to stay away of conversions, and only use gamut warnings to know which colors are printable and which aren't, so you can create a color map containing untouched RGB values that are printable in the specified target CMYK space. Doing two conversions you'll get a map of clipped or shifted values that have nothing to do with your original map. And the plan is to keep only the printable colors out of an existing color map, right? Gez. p.s.: Damn you, digest mode.
