CMS display adjustment change
by Jon A. Cruz 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hi, I just checked in an update with icc color profiles and setting display calibration. Now upon startup latest SVN Inkscape will search the standard locations for profiles ~/.color/icc /usr/local/share/color/icc /usr/share/color/icc Then under the misc preferences you'll have a checkbox for enabling display calibration, along with a drop-down combo box that allows you to pick between all RGB display profiles found. Give it a rundown and let me know how it's behaving. Thanks.

Exported gradients and Adobe Reader 8
by Stéphane Mottelet 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hi all, Last year, I have used Inkscape to make a nice A0 poster with gradients. I exported the original svg to pdf and sent the file to my favorite printing shop. One year later, when I open the pdf file, I don't see the gradients any more. Of course when I open the svg file with Inkscape 0.45 the gradients are here. So my question is : if I ask them to reprint the file (I don't know what is the application they use) will the gradients be printed ? Is there a problem in the way that Inkscape export the gradients which could be broken by recent versions pdf software ? Thanks for your help S.

Keep Dialogs Open
by D. Jones 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

How do I make the dialogs always stay open so that when I close inkscape and then reopen inkscape the same dialogs that I was using are reopen with a new instance of inkscape. I would like to apply this to the stable and the developement version. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a vacation?

Technical drawing / snapping
by A.J. Carter 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I'm really pleased to have discovered inkscape recently and it's fantastic that it's free and open source. In the past I've used autodesk autosketch (a cut down version of autocad) for "non-cad" scientific/technical illustrations for publication in papers etc. One feature which I find makes drawing easier is the ability to set snapping constraints, like "endpoint", "midpoint", "centre", "tangent" when both drawing an element and selecting to transform an existing element (the cursor jumps and changes shape to indicate which snap is currently in action). I wondered if any similar feature exists in inkscape, or whether it might be considered for the roadmap? Thanks

cannot save as EPS/PS
by Carlos \"Guâno\" Grohmann 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hello all, I am using the latest build (autopackage) in Linux, and I cannot save as PS or EPS. I always get an error msg and Inkscape closes. So far, I've been saving as PDF and then using pdftops, but it was really easier saving directly from Inkscape. Also, when I hit F8, I don't get the text tool, but it tries to open something in the sidebar... thanks Carlos -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Carlos Henrique Grohmann - Guano Visiting Researcher at Kingston University London - UK Geologist M.Sc - Doctorate Student at IGc-USP - Brazil Linux User #89721 - carlos dot grohmann at gmail dot com +-----------------------------------------------------------+ _________________ "Good morning, doctors.

Idiosyncratic mouse behavior in Windows!
by Jim Ford 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I've just installed Inkscape on a Windows XP machine and am having major problems with the mouse. I've tried both the latest distro and the stable one with no difference in behavior. On clicking the mouse pointer on the Inkscape window, the action takes place far to the right of the window, not under the pointer. Not only does this make creating objects difficult, it make selecting them impossible! BTW, I've not found how to make the grid finer than the default 5mm one. Can it be done (like in Xfig)?

22.5 Angle constraint
by seth friedman 30 Sep '07

A couple of months I posted about a 22.5 degree angle constraint, and someone replied that it would easily be implemented in an upcoming version of inkscape. Does anyone know if this has been added yet? Best, Seth

Snapping ellipses/circles/arcs
by Jean-Marc Molina 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

It seems Snapping [1] works fine for rectangles/squares but not for ellipses/circles/arcs. I'm trying to snap circles to the grid. Notes : * [1] http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Snapping.html
