Nightly/Testing Builds
by Joshua A. Andler 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hey All, We seem to be in a bad place with our nightly builds. It would be excellent if we could have a few volunteers step up to produce nightlies (or at least builds from every few days). Anyone who can (or would like to) produce builds for Windows, Linux, and OSX would be making a great contribution to keeping us on track to release 0.47 in the near future. If you are interested, please speak up and we will do what we can to get you producing builds ASAP. For the record, this is how bad the situation is: Win32 - April 18th OSX - March 3rd Linux - nothing from this year (Autopackages are over a year old) So again, if lending some CPU cycles and a little time is all you can do, it is still a LOT for the community. Cheers, Josh

Inkscape user profiles - for promoting the 0.47 release
by Donna Benjamin 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi everyone! In the lead up to announcing the 0.47 release we are preparing an announcement to send to user groups, other open source projects and media outlets. As part of this, we would like to have some stories from Users to help bring this to life. A software release on its own isn't very interesting. It's what people do with that software that really inspires others to give it a go, and get involved. So... Name: This can be your full name, or an IRC nick, etc Photo: Just a headshot or avatar to identify you, and add colour and interest to the profile. Thoughts on Inkscape: What you think about the application, how you discovered it, what you use it for... etc. (up to 200 words) Tip: Something you think is cool/nifty/handy/useful, and would like to share with others about Using Inkscape, Artwork: an example piece of artwork/diagram/graphic showcasing how you use Inkscape. How I did it: Short description of the main tools / techniques used to create that artwork - optionally with step by step instructions if you feel like it. Permission: Give permission for us to use all of the above on the website (and relevant publications) to promote the upcoming Release of Version 0.47 License: Creative Commons - Share Alike. I have created a page on the Inkscape wiki with a template. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/UserStories047 cheers Donna -- Donna Benjamin - kattekrab.net Inkscape: Open Source Scalable Vector Graphics 0.47 is coming... http://www.inkscape.org

Re: [Inkscape-user] Printing PDF files - problem
by Kim Hovorka 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

There has been a printing issue for a long time with inkscape 0.46 and so I have not been able to use it and have to go back to version 0.45 which has been very frustrating. I print out large banner size items and 0.46 does not print properly at all.

"Fragment" Operation
by Rob Antonishen 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Is there any way to perform a "fragment" operation in inkscape? Specifically, if you have multiple overlapping shapes, they all cut each other where they cross. For example, for two overlapping circles, you would end up with two crescents and a lens shape filling the space between. It is relatively easy to do this for two shapes (Duplicate, and perform an intersection, then on the original perform an exclusion followed by a break apart) but for a larger number of shapes the operations grow exponentially. Thanks - -Rob A>

add fake transpareny without real transparency
by Martin Bretschneider 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hello, I have a small problem with inkscape 0.46: I have object1 that is above object2. Object1 has some kind of transparency since object2 should also seen through this transparency. This does work well in inkscape and the pdf output (via cairo) is also well. But only adobe reader and foxit reader seem to support pdf transparency, all the poppler based readers like okular, evince, sumatrapdf do not show the transparency. Thus, it is not a problem of inkscape but (maybe) poppler. You can see test files here: svg in zip file: http://www.siteupload.de/dl.php?fid=946719 pdf file: http://www.siteupload.de/dl.php?fid=946716 But I also think that if you want to print this pdf file in a printing shop, there could be problems. My question: Is there a possibility to make inkscape to render a kind of fake transparency (that looks the same as real transpareny with an alpha channel) but that has no alpha channel (adjusting the other color channels of course). So, the exported pdf (or eps/ps that do not support transparency at all) could have the fake transparency. Kind regards, Martin Bretschneider

Call for volunteers (non-programming stuff!)
by Joshua A. Andler 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Hey All, Volunteers needed! Do you want to contribute to Inkscape but don't program? We can still use your help! We need volunteers for the following tasks: Testing SVN/Nightly Build (windows and osx especially) Reviewing and triaging Bug Reports Updating Tutorials & Documentation Reviewing Release Notes for accuracy/completion Writing PR/Announcements for our upcoming release Those are needs we always really have, but, we can always use an extra hand in the lead-up to release. Right now, if we could have a lot of attention put on our bug tracker for confirming bugs, figuring out what has been fixed, tagging things, and just getting it in better shape for the bug hunt, it will make a world of difference to the people trying to fix things. If anyone is interested in participating, please feel free to reply, hop on irc/jabber to discuss, or just jump right to it. :) If you need any information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Cheers, Josh

Problem with wiki
by Jon A. Cruz 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

I think I might have just seen a hidden problem with the wiki. I went to update a page on our versions, and saw contents for our release notes instead. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tracking_Dependencies The history listed things as expected, with the time of the last edit corresponding to the time I updated a table on that page. However, the contents were from that other page. Our servers were down for a bit the other day, so it is possible that something got corrupted. Could all of you take a quick moment to skim things and see if any pages are holding the wrong information? Thanks
