Website Testing (upgrades)
by unknown＠example.com 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

Dear Devlopers and Users, The Inkscape Website is going through some upgrades, from python 2.7 to python 3.5 and from django 1.8 to django 1.11. There's a pile of other upgrades since I rebuilt the dependencies from scratch, but these are the main ones. I've deployed the new version to http://inkscape.sandcats.io:8091/en/ and I encourage people to hit the website and test functionality. Try different things and feel free to report issues to the inkscape-webgitlab issues tracker if you can (to keep the mailing list clear) but if you can't issues track, then fallback to emailing here. When ready, we'll hopefully be deploying this new version to a new server too, so it's all moving hopefully forwards. Thanks for your help everyone. Best Regards, Martin Owens Inkscape Website Developer

Measurement preferences
by Will Godfrey 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

I work exclusively in millimetres, but Inkscape keeps reverting to pixels. This is extremely annoying, and I can't seem to find any way of *permanently* setting all such measurements to mm. Am I missing something, or can this be changed? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Extension -- clones to a vanishing point
by Andrew Kurn 08 Jul '18

08 Jul '18

Please find a new extension, clonesp (short for clonesPerspective). This is an Inkscape extension that clones an object. It makes multiple clones that shrink toward a vanishing point, necessary for a perspective drawing. Andrew

Set default behavior to "No guides"?
by Pierre St-Laurent 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded my operating system (from debian 7 to debian 9) and I'm slowly adapting to the more recent version of Inkscape (0.92.1). One thing I noticed is that the "Guides" are activated by default when I start Inkscape. To deactivate them, I have to go through "Document Properties", select the tab "Guides", and un-check the box "Show guides". My question is---Would there be a way to have these Guides deactivated by default? So I wouldn't have to do this everyt time? Any suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thanks! Pierre

Is PixelSnap extension working for you ?
by Victor / tokiop 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Hi community ! In inkscape 0.92, Debian testing, I don't manage to make Extension > Modify Path > PixelSnap to work. Not sure if i'm beeing dumb because I don't use this extension regularly. Tried with a minimal 32x32 pixel document, two squares converted to paths, one with fill, one with 1px stroke. Previewing or Applying the extension seem not to change anything. Tried selecting the objects, being in "edit node mode" or not, with and without the nodes selected. Is it working for you in 0.92 ? Thanks for any clues, and have a nice day all ! Victor

weird installation error
by Gregory Norcie 26 Jun '18

26 Jun '18

Hi all, I recently attempted to install Inkscape. I did not throughly read the documentation, so I ended up installing Inkscape without instaling Xquartz. When the dialog about X11 appeared, I became confused, returned to the website, saw my error, and installed Xquartz. Now when I click to start Inkscape, nothing happens - no dialog to specify the X11 path, nothing, no icons appear. I tried uninstalling Inkscape (dragging to trash, emptying trash) then reinstalling, but I still get no UI nor any option to specify where X11 is. I'm extremely confused on how I can recover from this error state - does anyone have any suggestions? - Greg

Question about finding an object in the SVG code that corresponds to what I see in the GUI but isn't clickable . .
by Philip Rhoades 23 Jun '18

23 Jun '18

People, I have a PDF that was itself an export from a CAD (DWG) package (which is not accessible anymore). I have imported this PDF file into Inkscape and have successfully deleted most of the objects I don't want in the drawing but there is one, major, obvious object left and I can't click on it to delete it so I thought I might be able to work out what the object is by looking at the SVG code . . but that is nearly 3MB in size . . I attach a JPG of the drawing (I can supply the SVG if someone wants to have a look at it) - the main problem is the white rectangle which looks like an extension of the road. Minor problems are lines and a little rectangle to the right of the white rectangle. The original drawing was all green in that area so it seems those objects have been added on top (there is only one layer in Inkscape). Can anyone think of a way of finding those objects - either in the GUI or by looking at the SVG code so I can delete them? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil@...2067...
