SVG 2.0: Update want list
by Tavmjong Bah 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi, Thanks for all the replies. We're getting quite a list. Here is the latest version: 1. Markers that can inherit parent attributes (e.g. marker fill takes parent stroke color so arrow heads are same color as path). 2. New gradients: A. Conical (special case of mesh?) B. Mesh: (should match PDF types) C. Diffusion curves. 3. Vector effects (see: http://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/vectoreffects/master/SVGVectorEffectsPrimer.h… ) 4. Multipage SVG's. 5. Multiline text entry. 6. Perspective transforms. 7. Paths constructed of sub-paths with different attributes. Objects that share paths. (Maybe included as part of vector effects.) 8. Control over stroke positioning (amount inside/outside path). 9. Vector fills. 10. Pattern filter: Variable pattern fills (e.g. size/density of dots as function of color/alpha). 11. Embedded fonts. -- Tavmjong Bah Inkscape, Guide to Vector Drawing Program http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/

small screen
by unknown＠example.com 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

My laptop has a small screen, and as a result it fits in my briefcase and I can take it just about anywhere. Usually that's a feature, but not whan I use Inkscape. When I use inkscape (or the Gimp for that matter) there's very little effective drawing area because most of the screen seems to fill up with icons to do various things to my drawing. Is there any way to reduce the clutter, and to see them only when I need them? Or to usually see only the ones I use often? -- hendrik

Re: [Inkscape-user] Tear off toolbars
by Paul Bolger 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

I'm running .48 on Ubuntu and I'm a bit puzzled by the interface behaviour. some of the toolbars have moved from the top to the side of the window. Grabbing them and tearing them off works, but I can't get them to dock again. So I end up with a whole lot of free floating toolbars cluttering up the screen until I do a restart. It must be something simple - put me out of my misery please!

Using command line interface with inkscape.com 0.48 and Windows 7
by Paul A. Bristow 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

I have installed Inkscape 0.48 and it runs OK in Windows 7 32 bit as a windows program. I have got the inkscape.com version from the .7z distro (wasn't in the win installer package - an omission?). But when I try to run the inkscape.com from a command window I don't get a c:\users\paul> prompt just a blank DOS window with the expected. If I type commands like --version or --help or -h they are just echoed and available with the uparrow command recall. I get the Inkscape window up that shows I have Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Paul PS I have run the SVG converter GUI utility but it produces .pngs that don't view right with MS Photo viewer. So I am hoping to run a command file instead - as I did with previous versions. Paul A. Bristow, pbristow@...2746...

Inkscape 4.8 outset/inset behavior
by Susan Spencer 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

In trying to add a 1cm seam allowance outside a pattern drawn with Inkscape 4.8, : 1. the Outset is shaped properly, has the correct width, but it is positioned *over* the path, half in and half out, instead of being placed 100% outside of the path. Is this the intended behavior? 2. The outset doesn't inherit the properties of the path selected, it has a 'fill' by default. I have to select the edit object icon, and set fill to 'x' and stroke to solid. Is there a way to cause the 'Outset' path to inherit the selected path's properties? 3. When I select 'Inset' on the same path,just as a test to see what happens, I get a very small tight grouping of points that have no apparent relationship to my pattern shape. I don't really need 'Inset' at the moment, just thought I'd mention it. I'm new to Inkscape, so perhaps there is something that I am missing. Any suggestions? Thanks, Susan

Latest svn
by John Culleton 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I downloaded and installed an svn version. Is this 0.48? Post 0.48? Prior to 0.48? The splash screen still says 0.47 but this may be spurious. Source forge says it is version 22759 -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
