Official Inkscape 0.46 OSX package for Tiger (10.4) users
by Michael Wybrow 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hello OSX Tiger users, I have posted an Inkscape 0.46 package for Tiger (10.4.x) users: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.46-2.TIGER.UNIVERSAL.d… This package was built complete from a PPC 10.4.11 machine, and since I do not have access to an Intel Mac running 10.4.11 it has not been tested on Intel hardware. If you have an Intel 10.4.11 machine, could you please let me know if the package works for you? Apologies for the initial lack of Inkscape 0.46 package for Tiger users. Producing packages for older OS releases is always more difficult when the Inkscape Mac developers are no longer using that OS for their normal builds, and building Universal packages, even more so! (Our CompilingMacOsX wiki page is currently out of date, but will be shortly updated to reflect the steps used to build these official packages.) Cheers, Michael

Filters Effects
by Michael Grosberg 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Please help me understand Filer effects! I'm trying to play with the filters but I must be missing something, they have explanations of what they do in the UI but when I try them most of them only turn the shape into a black / white/ transparent rectangle that looks like a bug. The only ones I got to work are blur and color matrix. Are they supposed to work? do they only work for certain type of object? Also, I don't understand something in the UI. In the filters dialog there's this complicated looking effect/connections table which I can't seem to do anything with. Is there an explanation somewhere on how to work with all this?

Hi, if there's any demand for it, I could submit a few screenshots on how Inkscape can be useful for bitmap editing.

Wow it works
by Lawrence Housell 31 Mar '08

Hi, I tried changing the pref to Graphite and opened Inkscape for the first time. It starts up with a dark grey screen, with what appears to be a halftone screen, upon typing the Inkscape app opens. When I close Inkscape the grey screen reappears which I have to force quit to return to the OS. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

.46 description invalid

the following is *not* true for the Mac version "The Inkscape community today is announcing the release of the newest version of its open source vector graphics editor. Inkscape 0.46 is a major update that introduces native PDF support. The implementation of PDF support in Inkscape provides an easy, open source solution to editing PDF documents."

Tracking a path causes a crash
by Matt Jordan 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

I was just over at Launchpad to see if this was a general and known issue but only found a post about the tracking function being too tricky to use: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/169006 I'm also not 100% clear if a still have a beta or an actual 0.46 release. An Ubuntu user, I added the Gutsy repos mentioned on the Inkscape home page in an announcement dated March24, 2008, but the 0.46 version installed has a build date of March 11, 2008. Anyway, with all of that said, Inkscape crashes when I try to use the tracking function. It appears to crash regardless of my choice for a guide: shape, calligraphy stroke, or whatever. Because of my uncertainly as to what version I actually have, I'm hesitant to make a report. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Windows - Inkscape 0.46pre4-2
by rygle 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

Hi, For Windows users, there is a new pre-release version of Inkscape 0.46 available on Sourceforge from here; http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=9911… Please note, this is a *Windows only* pre-release test version, as there were some bugs that could not be sorted out prior to the regular 0.46.0 release. If you've already seen this, a slight error has been fixed in 0.46pre4-2 since yesterday. This version is quite stable, but please it for any further bugs and report to https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/ If there are no other major problems, we will release 0.46.0 early next week. Note, there are some known issues that won't be fixed for 0.46.0, as per the readme; * (LP: #180890) Blend modes do not work correctly over transparent backgrounds. A workaround is to place an opaque rectangle underneath the bottom-most layer. * (LP # 202704) Blur and other filters are very slow when applied to an object with transform= attribute with rotation or skew. To avoid this slowdown, either do not rotate/skew objects you use with filters, or apply filters only to paths (but not shapes to text) because paths, by default, get no transform= attribute when you rotate or skew them. * Windows printing has two known issues. In both cases the workaround is to print to bitmap (Print -> Rendering -> Bitmap). - (LP # 205732) Blurred objects are misaligned when printing. - (LP # 208217) Masked objects disappear when printing. To read the full release notes, see here; http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes046 Draw Freely, Rygle. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Windows---Inkscape-0.46pre4-2-tp16370762p16370762.html Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
