OSX 10.5 - XQuartz 2.1.2 release
by rygle 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

The latest update for X11 on Leopard is out - see http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz here for the release details. This is greatly improved from the version that ships with 10.5 and is a recommended install. The http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/roadmap roadmap suggests that a Tiger version will be available sometime around March 2008. See http://www.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/InstallHelp here for more general information. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/OSX-10.5---XQuartz-2.1.2-release-tp14782078p14782078.… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

PDF import in 0.46 Ubuntu build
by rygle 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

Thanks to Bryce Harrington for the 0.46 dev build. No problems at all getting this running on ubuntu 7.10. My only problem is with PDF import - it just doesn't exist. The package recommends installing a whole lot of things, including pstoedit, imagemagick, python-XML and more. I installed all those. The only one I couldn't install was sketch, which protests on installation because it says a newer version of skencil is already installed. I also tried installing libcairo2-1.5.4 from the hardy package. This required a new version of libc6 from hardy, which required an uninstall and upgrade of tzdata to the hardy package, plus libpixman. Then libcairo2-1.5.4 seemed to install fine, but still no joy in Inkscape. Any thoughts. i386 live CD version of gutsy (7.10). Just trying to figure this out for a friend. Main program running well. Thanks, Rygle. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PDF-import-in-0.46-Ubuntu-build-tp14704404p14704404.h… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

SVG Viewers
by Cedric Sagne 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Thanks all for info on the SVG viewer topic. It never was the most convenient thing about SVGs (and anyway not Inkscape's fault) so I sort of did with it. I added a new section in the FAQ based on the comments here - a very constructive thread for all of us. Please bring your additional comments on the specific viewer you use. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Viewing_SVG_files_like_an_image… Cédric

Mac users - please check install help wiki entry
by rygle 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi, While helping a friend start the install process on a Mac today, I checked out the wiki to find nothing there about the Mac process. So I wrote my own section, including the X11 installation. Problem is, I don't have a Mac of my own, and I can't verify what I've written. I won't see my friend to finish the X11 part for several days, and even then I will only do one of the three alternatives for X11. Can Mac users check it out http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/InstallHelp here and please make any corrections? Can I encourage others to write entries there for different platforms, including the Autopackage method? If you've installed it before on a platform that isn't well explained, then please at least have a go. What a pity if people were turned off before even getting going! Cheers, Rygle -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Mac-users---please-check-install-help-wiki-entry-tp14… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Inkscape SVN snapshot - Ubuntu .deb's
by Benjamin Huot 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Sorry about the previous html version - somehow I had the wrong setting so when I copied and from the web page, it added html. This version should be fixed. I tried the Inkscape SVN snapshot - Ubuntu .deb's on Ubuntu 7.10, but I don't see an entry for importing or opening PDFs in the open or import menu. I see that on a recent Mac OS X PPC version though which is older.

Inkscape 0.46~svn Ubuntu .deb snapshot (Bryce Harrington)
by Tony Vigil 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Bryce, Thanks for the new .deb file! Unfortunately, some of the effects don't seem to work any more, specifically perspective and envelope. When I run perspective effect, I get a dialog that says the following... "Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected." The dialog box also provides the following information... "Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/perspective.py", line 127, in <module> e.affect() File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 153, in affect self.effect() File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/perspective.py", line 72, in effect q[query] = float(f.read()) ValueError: invalid literal for float(): Initting inputs Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input Input::Input In " Is this the case on your install as well? Should I report this a bug or am I just missing a python component perhaps? - Tony

splash screen
by gandalf the gray 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

I too want to submit a splash screen. I will do it by the end of Sunday (i.e. Jan.06 23:59, GMT +2). I was planning to do it earlier but I kept postponing this. I hope I won't be too late (I interpreted the current deadline as 00:00 Sunday, i.e. the beginning of the day, rather than the end.)

Hi fellow inkscapers! My splash screen is ready, I posted it here: http://railean.net/index.php/2008/01/06/inkscape_046_splash_screen_contest Unfortunately I don't have an account on deviantart, so I am using this mailing list to make my submission. On the page above you'll find the SVG, two variations of the splash screen, as well as some comments about it. It's 4 AM here %-) I hope I am not too late... Alex
