Re: Issues with cutting paths
by Dave Roberts 15 Mar '20

Hi Maren & David, First, this is almost consistent on my system. The variation is that the erase line disappears (as you would expect) but does nothing with the underlying object. In no case have I seen it working on my system. I have removed the preferences file, so I’m working with the defaults set on installation. There are two issues here for me. First the Cut tool does not cut paths. I was trying the erase tool as a work-around. Second, the, is the non-functional erase tool. I am unwilling to restore Mojave, but if I did, I’d go back to Illustrator because I know how to use it. I like Inkscape, but to be a replacement for me, I need the cut tool. Do I need to make this into a formal bug report?

Until the issues are resolved, I have been using the 0.92.4 version on Mac OS Mojave. You will have to build & install the 0.92.4 version using MacPorts.

Issues with cutting paths
by Dave Roberts 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Hi, I’m a new user migrating over from Illustrator. I’m running a Mac (Catalina 10.15.3) and Inkscape 1.0beta2 (2b71d25, 2019-12-03). I have deleted the preferences file prior to this test. From a new, empty document, I created a couple of shapes. Following an online tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO7TU7N3sn0) my installation does not cut paths using the eraser and the ‘cut out from paths and shapes’ setting. I get a [red] line (path) as in the tutorial, but it remains after I lift the mouse and the underlying shape remains intact. I can delete the red line in the usual way. On a second shape, I convert to a path, highlight a pair of nodes and click ‘cut’. The highlight on the nodes disappears, but the path remains intact. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Cheers, Dave

I downloaded an extension from your Wiki page for a laser cut box. When I try to use it, a box pops up that says “additional data from script executed.” How do I get the extension to work? Thanks, JT

Dear all, The next board meeting is on Friday. Because we have several people who aren't able to attend, this will be a lighter than usual meeting. Please see the agenda here: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Board_Meetings Timer: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20200306T10&p1=202 We probably won't have enough board members to vote on anything. So hopefully we'll be able to spend some time talking about other things. Thanks everyone. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Re: BUG IN THAT I CANNOT USE INKSCAPE WITH OUT CRASHING
by Skip Palin 16 Feb '20

Hi Maxine, I am new to Inkscape for MAC but trying to learn so I can use it on SainSmart Genmitsu CNC 3018-pro that I am also new at. I see it does trace your image so after you click update do you click ok then click the x in the right-hand corner? After that you will need to more the newly created trace over and delete the original image to continue. Let me know if this helps. I am having problems getting inkscape to generate the G-code, it will create the file but the file is empty. Skip

by MAXINE NEALE 03 Feb '20

I am writing to you as I am unable to make use of the program that was provided for correspondence, so please accept my apologies for this message. I have downloaded INKSCAPE. Dmg for macOS 10.10.15 as suggested and although the program seems to load, I only get so far before I get the notorious SPINNING BEACH BALL. This has happened in both instances and I ultimately had to force quit . Is there something that ham doing wrong or is it the program itself? Please help if you can

Hi Elisa, thank you :) for organizing and for the invitation. There's going to be an Inkscape Board Meeting next week Friday evening at 19:00. I think the Rennes Hackfest will be a topic on the agenda then. Would you or Cédric maybe have time to join the Board for a bit of planning?

LGM will take place in Rennes (Brittany, France) from May 26-29 2020. The deadline for your submissions is February 17th. More info about your submissions: https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2020/en/program.html Info about the venues: https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2020/en/venue.html The main focus of this year's event is 'Getting Things Done'. The organizers explain that this "means explaining how you manage to attract more contributors, how you manage the tasks of development, fixing bugs, the general directions that you want to take your project, and how you interact to accomplish this. You might even talk about ideas you have but have not yet implemented. Part of Getting Things Done means sharing ideas and methods with each other and with artists." They are looking for: " * Presentations attracting new contributors to projects * Information about how your project "gets things done" * Productive workshops to improve and extend software * Technical presentations and workshops for developers * Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools " There's also an Inkscape Hackfest planned to take place either during, before or after LGM, so stay tuned ;-) Maren
