I was advised by Maren Hachmann that I should continue my thread on the new Inkscape Users mailing list. The full archived thread can be found here : https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-user/thread/CAJc06ShUYM… . Here are my last two posts : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, Jun 6, 2019 at 10:01 PM brynn <brynn(a)frii.com> wrote: > Too bad that JAWS program doesn't have a free version.

It's better than nothing though :) Regards, Jonathan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 3:39 PM Arlo Barnes <arlo.barnes(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 11:30 AM Jonathan Busby <jonathanbusby(a)gmail.com> = wrote: >> >> I've been trying to make SVGs exported from Inkscape accessible to >> screen readers for an article I'm editing on Wikipedia. > > Just making sure you know that Wikipedia thumbnails to PNG, so unless you= are directing people to the file itself (which you can, Wikimedia Commons = is for many purposes) semantic contents will not come through in an article= .

Inkscape not "High DPI Aware"
by jeffrey.gerber＠gmail.com 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

I've just installed Inkscape for the first time (on Windows 10) and discovered the toolbars and buttons are so tiny they're unrecognizable and unusable. This is due to Inkscape not being "High DPI Aware" (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/hidpi/high-dpi-desktop-app…). The temporary solution is to right click the Inkscape icon, choose the "Properties" context menu item, then choose the "Compatibility" tab. Click on "Change High DPI Settings" and in the group box "High DPI scaling override" check the check box "Override high DPI scaling behavior." In the drop list select "System (Enhanced)". Click the "OK" button. Now relaunch Inkscape and the compatibility mode will take effect. Not sure how to file a bug on here but perhaps one of the developers can?

High DPI Export From Inkscape
by David Paul 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Hello, Can someone tell me what the maximum image DPI is from Inkscape version 0.92.4? I have been able to export at 1,200 DPI, but can't at 3,000. Well, it eventually will, however, the image colors are way off. Some history on this problem. I have a web graphic I'm trying to turn into a 10ftx3ft banner. Graphic was created in Inkscape as an SVG file. Ideally, they'd like 300dpi to print this banner. This has worked in the past, however, my computer was updated to Mac OS Mojave and the latest version of Inkscape won't export correctly at the 3,000 DPI. This worked on the version of Inkscape I had installed on Mac OSX 10.11, sorry, I don't know what that version was. Probably 0.91 Basic question, is how to export high DPI images. Seems to have an issue with applied filters. Current image is 10 inches x 3 inches to obtain the correct effect from the filters. Thank You *David Paul* *P.S. Large fonts are used due to my poor eyesight.*

upcoming opening of new Inkscape forum
by brynn 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

Hi Friends, The Inkscape website will be opening a new forum in August 2019. The primary purpose of the forum will be providing support for Inkscape, but it will serve the whole project and community, in whatever way it can. It will function in much the same way that InkscapeForum.com (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/index.php) and Inkscape Community's forum (https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?action=forum) currently do. Concurrently to opening the new forum, Inkscape Community's forum will essentially close. All of its forum traffic will be diverted to the new forum (although its tutorials and other resources will remain available). Since the Inkscape project has lost contact with the owner of InkscapeForum.com we assume it will remain open. Please make plans to change your forum bookmarks, and to visit the new forum in August. If you're not already registered on the Inkscape website, you will need to register. Once you're logged in to the website, you're also logged in to the forum. We will be thrilled to welcome you, and to provide the same quality of support you're accustomed to! Here is the link to the new forum. Although please note that posting will not be allowed until August. But you can look around and see everything about how it works, except for posting a message. https://inkscape.org/forums/ If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. All best, brynn

I replied but the mail server rejected the message because it had a zip attachment.
