Bug Organizer person needed
by Bryce Harrington 18 May '06

18 May '06

For the 0.44 release, we will be making an attempt to close critical bugs in the bug tracker. However, first those bugs need to be prioritized. We have a system for prioritizing bugs, and it's pretty straightforward to do, even by someone with minimal technical experience. Thus this makes an excellent task for someone who wants to contribute to Inkscape but haven't found other tasks they're comfortable doing. Basically, you go through the bug tracker and review bugs set to priority 5 (the default). If it involves a crash, data loss, or other serious issues, mark it critical (9). Otherwise, mark it 6 if it looks important, or 3 if it looks like a lower priority issue. If you're interested in helping in this area, contact me either on IRC or by email, and I can set up your access and help you get started! Thanks, Bryce

layer icons
by Jakub Steiner 17 May '06

17 May '06

Howdy. I'm very pleased by the introduction of a layer window. Will help greatly to manage more complex artwork. I noticed however the button icons are quite poor in doing what they should - being easier to distinguish than text labels. They all include the rectangle signifying "layer". But the fact that this element appears on evey single one of them makes it nothing but visual noise. I suggest simplifying those icons to the core of what they are trying to say. Use distinguishable silhouettes, color. An image is worth more than my poor writing: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/visual-noise.png Having said all that, I don't think the metaphor for delete you see on the mockup is particularly strong. cheers -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac@...469...>

by Cornel Ghiban 15 May '06

Hi, Is there a manual for scripting inkscape with python? Tried to find it but nothing so far. Also can this be done: Having a lot of (small) eps files, open each one in turn, copy/extract all objects to a master document at a certain position, close file etc, and finaly save master document? Thanks, -- Cornel

You all will be happy to note that the new "reject posts from non-members" has caught a lot of spam. There are about 6-8 times as many messages being rejected as before, about half of which are spam. Bryce

Hello All, I recently installed Inscape on a Win2000 machine and it ran well; however, when I tried to run one of the more recent development versions I got the following error message. "The procedure entry point FreeAddrInfoW could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll." Can anyone help with this? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Win2000-Error-t1606200.html#a4354847 Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com.

Rectangle Shape: Not Rounded, but 2 white dots are not in Upper Right Corner
by unknown＠example.com 11 May '06

11 May '06

I think i have to re-read your message, j, but before that I'll pass another email to you. If we just look at the rectangle and it's white dots, shouldn't we say that if the rectangle has a certain shape when the dots are in a certain place at one time, the rectangle should always have that same shape in other times?

inkscape bucket fill?
by j michaelson 11 May '06

11 May '06

hello everyone, i've been dabbling with svg cartoons. i've been scanning black and white line drawings and converting them to svgs with the trace bitmap tool. i then colour them in by drawing blocks of colour and lowering them behind the outline. this is an incredibly time consuming way of doing things and i was wondering if there is a quicker way of doing it that i'm missing. i've tried exporting to a bitmap, using the gimp to bucket fill the gaps and then tracing it back to an svg again, but it's not the most elegant way of working. is there some kind of tool in inkscape equivalent to the bucket fill tool in gimp? thanks. john michaelson.

Inkscape not Recognizing Fonts
by D. Jones 10 May '06

10 May '06

How do i make Inkscape display my system fonts on a Windows XP SP2 system? The system fonts show up in the text font dialog, but when I go to apply the font inkscape resorts back to my default. Is there a way to make it adhere to the font that I want it to use? --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
