inkscape200711070317 dependency issues
by Elwin Estle 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I downloaded inkscape200711070317 and ran the autopackage installer. Keep running into dependency problems. Whereinheck do I get libMagick++.so.9? I thought maybe it was part of ImageMagick, so I downloaded and Compiled it (I am on Slackware 12.0), but no dice. If sombody could point me to the source code or a slackware package, I'd appreciate it. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better sports nut!

Is there a place that I can get generic emblems, that are legal to use, such as fire and police department emblems, that I can edit as needed?

group items on separate layers
by heathenx 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

I have two items in Inkscape 0.45-1. Each item is on a separate layer. When I group them together they become grouped on the same layer. Is there a way to group items yet retain their layer state so that I can control visibility? Hmm... heathenx

by D. Jones 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

I am using the .46 dev (Nov 30) build on Windows XP and would like to use the raster effects, but I am not sure exactly how to get them working. I understand that I need Imagemagick, but I am not even sure which version of Imagemagick to get seeings that I do not know any programming language. Any help in this matter would be appreciated. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

Think I have a issue with Inkscape
by Sharon Mobley 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

But not sure, a week or so ago I noticed a problem but kept working with it, I don't remember it from before so may be I just noticed it, who knows, but here is the problem, This is the steps, open Inkscape Change to landscape and letter Select outline mode Import Pic or image, Here is the problem, The pic does not show, I just get a box with arrows, if I then go and choose normal my pic shows ( I honestly don't remember it doing this before) so may be I should be selecting normal till after I do that trace bit map, is so that fine, but the real problem is below. Then I make a bitmap copy Then trace bitmap. But them my other issue is, if I move the box with the picture at all, the picture inside the box moves so that you only see parts of the images, like the box is rolling around over different sections, its very annoying, and don't remember it doing that before, I have uninstalled it and restarted and reinstalled and it is still doing the same thing, I am running 44.1 as I had loaded 45 before, and it has a know bug with saving, so I removed it, Am I just loosing it, or is there a problem with my Inkscape.

Problem with Inkscape 0.45.1 on Gentoo
by G. Clark Haynes 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Since performing a recent upgrade on Gentoo (which included updating a LOT of core libraries, as well as upgrading Inkscape from 0.43 to 0.45.1), I've had problems with fonts when importing SVG files. An example of the output is: http://www.msl.ri.cmu.edu/~gch/2007/inkscape-problem/ Basically, I have a workflow where I export SVGs from Matlab, then make minor changes to the figure in Inkscape, and then export an EPS graphic which is used for scientific publication. Currently, it seems like the imported fonts are being very messed up, like all text bits being centered at one point, etc. You can see it in the figure above. The same file opens fine with Mozilla Firefox. I realize that, given that a lot of libraries were recently updated on my machine, this may not be an inkscape problem. What other packages could be causing this? I do not see problems with any other programs on my computer ... Thanks, and I hope I can get this fixed soon!

libxml2 and autopackage
by Matt Jordan 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi folks, I'm trying to use the perspective tool with .46 installed with autopackage on Ubuntu Gutsy. Inkscape complains that I don't have libxml2 but I do, so I'm guessing it doesn't know because it's an autopackage install? If so, is there a way to convince Inkscape that I do have libxml2 and tell it where it is? Thanks, Matt

can't save as dxf
by Benjamin Huot 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

When I try saving a plain SVG file into DXF format, Inkscape locks up on me. This happens with .45.1 on my Mac PowerPC G4 1.33 GHz w/ 1GB RAM 10.4.11 w/ 11 GB free and with the 27 October autopackage version on Xubuntu Linux 7.10 with Celeron D 2.93 GHz with 512 MB RAM. No other problems.

Fedora Package Maintainer
by Ted Gould 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hello, Denis Leroy e-mail me off list and mentioned that he's no longer interested in maintaining the Fedora package of Inkscape. If there is any other Fedora packagers that are willing to pick it up, that'd be great. I'm not sure of other Fedora lists that this should be posted to, but if people could forward it to those that would be great. Thanks, Ted
