Inkscape problem or broken svg ?
by Hadmut Danisch 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hi, have a look at http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/SVG , there's an embedded SVG graphics. When I dowload this svg from http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/de/7/72/SVG_Buch01.svg I can use it with rsvg, but not with inkscape. inkscape just shows a completely empty canvas. (using inkscape 0.47.0 from ubuntu 10.04). Is that a problem of inkscape or a problem of the svg file? regards Hadmut

Inkscape just stop
by Krappies 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Good day. Using inkscape about to finish a drawing I get a screen that say INKSCAPE HAS STOPED WORKING. I am fairly new to the program and enjoying it a lot, I have still got to learn a lot about the use but have made a lot of drawings that really impressed me. Another point how do you upgrade inkscape I can't seem to find it. I am running Windows 7 Professional and have seen that it is not on your list for compatible programs, could this be a problem I use to run on XP Professional with no problems at all and that was before the 4.8 upgrade. Hope you can help as I am trying to convince a lot of Corel users that this is the ultimate program to use. KInd regards. Krappies. Cell +27 76 822 3030 Fax +27 086 566 4555 Skype Krappies6

UniConvertor 1.1.5 release
by Igor Novikov 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hi all! sK1 Team are proud announcing UniConvertor 1.1.5 release. I think you remember UniConvertor is used by Inkscape as external set of import/export filters (like for CorelDRAW files, WMF etc.) A year of hard work, the masses of improvements and innovations, some multi platform feature in new version - detailed description you can find an excellent review of Alexandre Prokoudine: http://www.libregraphicsworld.org/articles.php?article_id=20 UniConvertor 1.1.5 for win32 is prepared as a standalone application bundle with some interesting feature. It includes small script which integrates external UniConvertor into Inkscape 0.47/0.48pre1 installation. So right now Inkscape win32 users can upgrade Inkscape import/export features without waiting for a new Inkscape version! Regards, Igor Novikov sK1 Project http://sk1project.org

weird behavior of gear renderer
by Elwin Estle 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I make use of the gear renderer all the time and haven't run into this before, I don't think. I am running 0.47, downloaded just today from inkscape.org, on mac OS X Leopoard. When I render a gear, I cannot get the boolean operations to work with it. So if I want to make a "hole" in the center of the gear, I can't put a circle there and do a difference operation to cut a circle into the center of the gear. >From a 2D standpoint, this would not be a big deal, but since I import the gear .svg files into Blender for later 3D operations, this is something of a problem. What am I doing wrong, or what is it about the gear paths that is preventing this?

365 Sketches (Inkscape) show and opening talk video

The project is chronicled at both http://365sketches.org and http://facebook.com/365sketches and in other places -- If you've not heard of it, you're included here because I believe you might be interested. (Sharism is discussed here: http://freesouls.cc/essays/07-isaac-mao-sharism.html) I also recently got the opportunity to present the work as a rotating show (with Charles Viera) at Princeton Public Library (65 Witherspoon, Princeton, NJ), produced by Janie Hermann, and sponsored by the Princeton Arts Council. I gave a talk at the show's opening on the 21st of June to discuss its origins, processes, and reasoning. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8022746 is a new, clean audio recording from the talk synchronized with 160 brisk, clear, fully sized slides from the talk. Try full screen mode for the best effect. This is also a thank you note. Some of you were kind enough to attend the show opening and talk, some of you were kind enough to suggest it to others, and some of you mentioned that you were sorry to have missed it. Many of you have been so generous as to have purchased sketches from the show. Many of you were mentioned in the talk. Please share this email or the video with anyone who you think might enjoy it. You should know that the PPL show is on the second floor, free, will be changing over time, and will be up through the middle of September, 2010. I am showing alongside Charles Viera who I'm proud to share the space with. Charles and I overlap in a lot of fun ways in content and story, but are quite diverse in style and approach. Special thanks to Janie Hermann and Maria Evans, both of whom made the show possible. Thanks also to all of you for participating, if you have or if you would. Thanks!

I want to import an eps image that is 15in wide x 12 in high. Even if I preset the page size to those numbers the import reverts to 8.5 x 11.

Hello, I pleased to announce the tarballs representing the 0.48pre1 release of Inkscape. This is one of the final stops on the rapid road to release. Please look at this release to see if there are any show stopper issues for the 0.48 release. == Download == https://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48pre1/ bzr get lp:inkscape -r tag:INKSCAPE_0_48_PRE1 [1] == SHA1 Sums == 8e4eb561ae5fd8bfbc9c7149f3c0ef3115454cb5 inkscape-0.48pre1.tar.bz2 353b2e1dbc12773a0444b97c6bab1fd7dd632c04 inkscape-0.48pre1.tar.gz 5f64dfe8e9c01e600b52f5b3c33b9325a5cd42f7 inkscape-0.48pre1.zip --Ted [1] Is the Bazaar tag useful?

language problem
by Hago Ziegler 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi, if I put the cursor over one of inkscapes tool-icons, a line pops up, that describes the function of the tool. I would like to know, how this sort of pop-up-line is called in english. In only one of this pop-up-lines I found also the keyboard shortcut for the tool (shift-F2). I would like to ask the devellopers to put the keyboard-shortcut in the pop-up-line of every tool. It would help a lot to all the people who don't use inkscape every day. Thanks, Hago

0.48 alpha report
by John Culleton 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Downloaded the 0.48 alpha package and started to play with it. My first interest was the capability to use CMYK colors. Before 0.48 the doctrine was that you could use three out of four CMYK colors but not 4 out of 4. With 0.48 as you move one CMYK slider one of the others tends to jump back to zero but not always. By fiddling some I was able to establish rich black at 60,40,40,100. Given that internally Inkscape is still using the RGB color model I wonder if this is a color that will actually be used for output. There are several swatch bars available but none seem to be expressed in CMYK terms. If in fact all possible CMYK colors can be expressed in RGB terms then it should be possible to use pseudo CMYK colors on the Inkscape color bar and pass these shades on to e.g., Scribus in RGB format. I would be interested in comments from the developers on this. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
