Errores Inkscape
by Jonnika 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Hola que tal, Soy usuaria del programa inskcape, lo utilizó en la vectorización de patrones de costura que trabajo en otro programa específico Seamly y así puedo cortarlos en tela a través de láser e imprimirlos si hace falta. Me grabe la versión 1.0 para probarla, pero tengo algunas dudas al respecto de los errores que me salen, es normal, es mi ordenador?? - Suelo trabajar con varias ventanas, pero cuando ajusto las propiedades de documento, se quedan las ventanas abiertas y no las puedo cerrar, a veces desaparecen cuando cambió de archivo, pero se colapsa el programa se cierra y genera un archivo automático .................svg.2020-06-22-20-16-10.0.svg También se colapsa y se cierra si trabajas con dibujos que tengan mucha resolución o cuando quise utilizar: trayecto/vectorizar mapa de bits. Con la anterior versión alguna vez también se cerraba el programa pero no tanto como con esta. Pongo los datos de mi ordenador, por si ese es el problema. Mi ordenador es portatil marca Asus. Windows 10 Home 2019 Procesador Intel (R) Celeron (R) CPU N2840 2.16 GHZ Memoria RAM 4,00 (3,89 GB utilizables) Sistema operativo 64 bits Procesador X64 Gracias Pilar

Howdy, Inkscape 1.0(1.0+r73+1) A 5"x7" rect in a drawing prints to 4.75" x 6.75" Can this be tweaked in Inkscape? Is it a printer or driver issue? Thanks, Kent

Inkscape Hackfest 2020
by Martin Owens 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Dear Inkscape developers and users, I've been thinking about how best we can host a hackfest for 2020 given all the restrictions. After talking with multiple people, I've decided that the best format for an online hackfest is to have one spread out over the summer. So may I present to everyone the Summer of Hackfest: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/-/issues/161 This gitlab issue is just for organising people's preferences, and thoughts. Once I have times confirmed, I'm going to write everything in the regular hackfest wiki page for everyone. So. The idea here is to take advantage of the online nature of this year's hackfest activity and allow people more breathing room between sessions. Each week I'll be hosting a video chat which you will be free to join and just hang out in and where hopefully some of the important topics will happen once per week. No grueling commitment, no big block of time, just a predictable schedule of lovely inkscape topics which will be publisised to get more people involved than ever before. Please join me on GitLab to proposed topics and set your preferred times. I'm looking for one topic per week, so that's six topics. And thanks for your participation. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Positioning objects by center
by Robert Nickels 29 May '20

29 May '20

From other CAD software, I'm accustomed to being able to position an object in a drawing by it's center. For example, I want to locate a 1/2" circle at grid coordinates X 1.000, Y 1.000. In Inkscape, I can create my circle, no problem, and I can enter the X and Y coordinates of 1.000 and 1.000 and the circle appears - but the lower left-hand corner of the box that surrounds the circle is at that location, not the center of my circle, which is in fact at X 1.250 Y 1.250. My question is, how can I change the reference point, "handle", or whatever it's called in Inkscape to the center rather than the outside corner of this box? I can't believe this is not the default, but I also have not been able to figure out what Inkscape calls this, and how to change it. Thanks! Bob

suggestions UI
by drschafer＠comcast.net 28 May '20

28 May '20

I'm a new user of Inkscape .92 but very long time graphics user (pixel, vector, 3D) and would be a better user if the UI was more customizable and so suggest these possibilities for change, or at least user options: Ability to move tool panel from being stuck at left edge to floating so we can put it where most useable. In all my programs I keep it near right edge of main screen. Ability to move toolbars on top.monitor screen wide enough to have both toolbars on one row instead of 2 rows Allow for use of color palette to be floating. and able to roll-up to a simple panel row; maybe even on toolbar row with dropdown arrow click Probably most important would be ability to drag any panel (or toolbar that changes into a panel) onto a second monitor. I normally use main monitor for workspace and tool panel and remaining tools/panels/etc. on the second monitor. All of above lends toward better efficiency and full screen use of workspace for artboards. Thankfully I can make the program window wide enough to let part of it on second monitor in default mode now. Doug

by Maren Hachmann 19 May '20

19 May '20

Hi all, the German magazine 'LinuxUser' is looking for one or more German-speaking authors for writing articles about Inkscape (e.g. workshops, a review of 1.0). They are explicitly looking for someone who is *NOT* a member of the Inkscape community to exclude any bias. If you think that could be you, please send an email to redaktion(a)linux-user.de and also check out the hints for authors at http://www.linux-user.de/Autorenhinweise . Maren
