Thumbwheel widgets on tool bar too small
by Albert 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

The thumbwheel widgets on the second toolbar for X,Y,W and H are too small. For numbers greater than 99, e.g. 165.68, the second digit after the decimal point is clipped so as to be unreadable. I am running Ubuntu Breezy Linux at 1024x768 resolution. Can anything be done on my end to fix this?

Hi! I have upgraded to 0.43 in debian SID (couple of day ago). I dont have the Effects menu anymore (0.42+0.43pre2 had it) I have python-xml installed, and there are the effects in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/ Does anybody know how can I figure out why the Effects menu does not exist? Best regards, Khiraly

I have just installed and am learning inkscape 0.42. I can see a rectangle snapping to guide lines, however I cannot see it snapping to grid lines. I have set snap distance from the default 0.4 to several hundred with no noticible difference in snapping to grid lines. What am I missing?

PDF Support in Inkscape
by Bryce Harrington 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hi all, I've been noticing a LOT of requests for PDF/PS support in Inkscape. Either export or import or both. I'm fairly certain that this is the #1 top feature need for Inkscape right now. Over the past year or so, I've been fishing around for a volunteer to implement this. But unfortunately I'm coming up dry. Ain't no one I can find with an itch to implement this, not on a volunteer basis anyway. However, there are a TON of users with this need. Some of whom, I'm fairly certain, would be willing to pledge some money towards it. Maybe a little, maybe a lot, who knows. I think if enough people pitched in funds, we could actually make this happen. This is one feature I think we as a community could just force through, by hiring some mercenary to attack and kill it for us, hardcore style. Can you all tell me what you think? I really have no solid idea if enough people would be open to this plan. Are you a user that'd be willing to pledge $100 or more towards this? Are you a developer that'd be willing to commit to doing this work for some $k? Or do you have some ideas on how we could make this need get met? Please email me and let me know what you think. Bryce
