Does anyone know if the new bamboo pen / pen and touch tablets are supported in linux? I just bought a bamboo (the previous model) and works great out of the box in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10, but I couldn't find information about support of the new models. The old bamboo and bamboo fun work, but what about the new ones? Thanks in advance Gez.

Barcode for EAN 5
by John Culleton 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Typically on a book one has a barcode for the ISBN (EAN-13) and optionally a barcode for the price (EAN-5). Inkscape 47 rel 3 provides the first but not the second. Could this be added? -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Wacom drawing tablet.

Does anyone on list have a Wacom or similar drawing tablet? Do you find it useful in conjunction with Inkscape work? Is the Wacom Bamboo with a 4 x 5 inch pad useful or does one need the larger and more expensive models? -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

hey I got a bamboo one just to get me started and quite honestly don't use it when it comes to vector drawing. the mouse is a much better tool for the kind of neurotic precision i crave. apart from that it's much better than a mouse either for pixel work or even for essential day-to-day computer use. It takes some getting used to though. double click was frustrating for the first week.

I love using my wacom tablets with Inkscape. I used it with the calligraphy tool to create a background for my twitter page, and some nuances for my avatar. It would have been nearly impossible to get the same kinds of marks with just a mouse in my opinion. http://www.twitter.com/lemasney -- John LeMasney LeMasney Consulting and Design lemasney@...155...

Tav, Thanks for your hard work. I had a silly question the other day and just a quick glance at your online manual sorted it. Your manual is the top reference to use Inkscape, I need a hard copy to be able to study it in depth, and will order one as soon as possible.

speedwanted

Hi, I'm using inkscape on 2 PCs with dual core processors. Sometimes, when the work is getting huge and complex, the CPU has to work a lot. Unfortunately inkscape uses always only one of the 2 'cores', so the whole CPU works only with 52-55 %. Things are becoming very slow this way. Is there a possibility to change this? Regards, Hago

Hi all, I am trying to build a humongous pdf for a poster made up of about 10000 svg files of same width but varying height. I would like to be able to automatically tile the different svg and pdf (or ps) export the file to print in a plotter. How can I do that? Albert.

Barcode problem solved.
by John Culleton 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

On an earlier version of IS 47 on Xubuntu the numbers at the bottom of an ISBN barcode were scrambled. On my current Slackware 13 install of IS 47 pre 4 this problem is solved. It would help if the numbers were displayed above the barcode in OCRB typeface but I can handle that as a separate step. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
