This kind of approach is one of the things that makes the open source community work well. Unfortunately, contests have gotten a bad reputation. They are a way to get a bunch of people to contribute free art with no assurance that anyone will actually be compensated. Further, the really good artists won't participate because they work for pay. It would probably be best to have people submit proposals and samples of existing work, and then select someone whose work you prefer. I am not a professional artist; more oriented towards business and writing. I use Inkscape (it's my favorite application) to create quilt mockups and other rough images. So I won't be proposing. But I think that you and the Inkscape community might be happier with something other than a contest. Thank you again for supporting the open source community. Carl

Selecting area to print
by Jon 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

I have an image in Inkscape that is larger than the paper size for my printer. I do not want to rescale the image. I would like to be able to move the page frame and select the portion of the image to be printed. Is this possible? Is there a way to change the origin for the picture? Jon

Crash on Change Document Properties
by Stan Field 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

I'm using Inkscape .48 on a Kubuntu 10.10 system with 8Gb of RAM and plenty of drive space. Any attempt to modify Document Properties results in a crash. I've tried it with both a new (blank) load of Inkscape as well as a couple of different pre-existing drawings. It always says "Inkscape encountered an internal error and must close..." Any ideas? -- E.C. "*Stan*" Field *Reality is the Illusion!* http://PostOrbitalDesign.net/

Batch conversion of ai/eps/cdr to svg
by Antonio Roberts 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I'm trying to do a batch conversion of 340 eps, ai and cdr files to svg files using Inkscape via the command line. I've previously tried to do this using uniconverter but got lots of errors, whereas Inkscape via the gui was able to open and convert them without fail. The problem I'm having is that there doesn't seem to be a way to open anything other than svgs from the command line. Trying something like inkscape -f infile.eps -l outfile.svg gave me: "infile.eps:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 ^ ** (inkscape:12078): WARNING **: Specified document infile.eps cannot be opened (does not exist or not a valid SVG file)" Is there a way to do this?

Resize an image from the command line
by Alec Battles 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I want to scale an SVG file/object while preserving h/w ratios. In the gui, this would be done by clicking on the object, choosing object-->transform-->scale-->preserve ratio-->(enter scale) then file-->properties-->resize canvas to fit object. As you can see, that's a lot of work for an operation that should be really simple. Anyway, I tried figuring out how to use the shell mode, and didn't manage it. I assume I need to use the verb "DialogTransform" but that's as far as I got. Any help would be appreciated. -- 𓆦
