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.

Creating gears
by Claus Cyrny 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hi, I would like to know if there is a tutorial on how to create gears in Inkscape (I am still using 0.42, but would like to update as soon as I have the new Ubuntu release installed). At the Inkscape web site I only found several links to Youtube videos, but none of those was what I was looking for.

I notice that due in part to our bug activity, Inkscape has gone up to rank #20 on SourceForge's most active list. Still, there are 30 level-9 critical bugs still open. I don't see any that are absolute release killers, but the fewer of those left in inkscape when we release, the better. Bryce
