Problems with pdflatex and inkscape
by Julian Hagenauer 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

HI, i created a svg-graphic with inkscape 0.44 (see attachment). I saved it as pdf with transparency. I can view it perfectly with acrobat reader. Than i included the file into a latex-document, which i compiled with pdf-latex. When i reach the site of the resulting document, where the pdf normally shows, acrobat reader says: No resource found. The figure is completly shown, only the text-surrounding boxes are missing... What's wrong? Thank You, Julian

cloned copy fill/stroke
by Jakub Steiner 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

Howdy fellow artists! I've been unsuccessful in something I'd imagine being very common case. I'd like to be able to create editable text with a dropshadow, that would be easily editable. Clones seem an ideal solution for the task. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to change colors of the clone independently from the original. Either I have to keep the original object black (unset property). This works in most cases, as the shadow indeed needs to be black. But I'm unsure if it's safe to depend on 'unset' looking black in other renderers. Cornelius suggested to use the linked offset instead, but that appears to shift the size by default and it's hard to tweak as text usually tends to create very complex paths for interactive scaling. Is there a smarter way way to achieve this? -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac@...469...>

Alt key in tutorial
by Albert Wagner 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I have just installed 0.44 and am progressing through the Help->tutorials. I notice that all references to the Alt key actually require Ctrl+Alt to have the desired effect. e.g. Alt+drag doesn't work, but Ctrl+Alt+drag does. Is this a change in 0.44 that the tutorial has not yet reflected? Or is there some tuning that I have yet to do?

tutorials cleanup: help needed
by bulia byak 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

We have tutorial-calligraphy.pt_BR.svg in share/tutorials, but no corresponding xml file in the doc-docbook module in SVN. Please _everyone_ who has ever translated the tutorials, upload the docbook xml sources to that module, or send them to someone with SVN commit rights asking him to upload it for you. Without that, we can't for example fix the tutorial-calligraphy.pt_BR.svg file which is badly broken. Also, we have much more tutorial translations in SVG than we have HTML tutorials here: http://inkscape.org/doc/index.php. Please remember that if you submit a new translation, you need to generate not only SVG but also HTML (use the make-html script) to be put up on the web site and linked from that page. (Again, if you don't have commit rights for the web site, ask someone to do it for you.) Volunteers are welcome and encouraged to help us sync this all up for the release. Thanks! -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

creating a pdf slideshow (with incremental slides) using inkscape
by Gijsbert Stoet 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

Dear fellow Inkscape friends, I like Inkscape and prefer to draw my slides using Inkscape. I coded a script for easily creating a PDF file out of a set of SVG files that can be used for presentations (each page being a slide). It allows you to create incremental slides, using the xml ID tages of SVG. Using shift+ctrl+o you can easily change these tags. Acrobat reader or evince work great in full screen, and acrobat is available on nearly every computer. I have made everything (programs and manpage) available on a webpage: http://volition.wustl.edu/slides I just finished it, and it works fine for me; however, there might still be some errors in it. There is also a short PDF tutorial/example (both in one!) on the webpage. Gijsbert This email was independently scanned for viruses by McAfee anti-virus software and none were found

Re: [Inkscape-user] [Inkscape-devel] Remaining critical bugs for 0.45
by Adib Taraben 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

All, On Win32 when I use a daily snapshot all menus are not localized. The remain in plain English. (except some buttons from standard dialogs) When I use a previous 0.44 menus gets localized perfectly. So I guess it is not settings related. I mentioned this some times in the chat to get a confirmation or negative response but there was no feedback. Thats why I did not post a defect for this. If this is confirmed to be a bug this is also a must-fix. pls win32-developer or tester give some feedback.
