Windows hiding/Layer list
by Kodoichi 01 Dec '05

Hi 1. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for us user to set up a message board on inkscape.org instead of a nerdy mailing list that fills up mailboxes with unwanted discussions? 2. I have been playing around with the Windows version. It's nice, but I'd like to see some features and changes: - When I have the document window opened in fullscreen, then open a dialogue window or similar and work on the document again, the dialogue windows disappear behind it. I've seen this behaviour on The GIMP as well and it's damn annoying. Would it be difficult for a coder to change it so the dialogue boxes and menus stay on top? - I mainly use Expression 3 for vector and really like that there is a layer window, so the user can easily choose and rearrange the objects. I haven't found out if Inkscape has this function as well, I have only seen that drop down menu at the bottom which is quite poor compared to Expression/Illustrator and other programs... is there an option to activate a box listing all the layers or is it planned to code something like that?

New Extention Collect images/Publish Zip
by Pim Snel 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hello, I've created my first extention for inkscape. Though it needs some work we use it allready and it's is quite usefull. Its called "Publish Zip" and resides in the filters menu. It does the following: - it copies all linked images to the current dir en modifies all links to be relative - it creates a zip containing the document and the linked images. The zip can be mailed and opened by someone else with all images correctly displayed. You can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1364270&group_id=9… known problems: - Document has to be saved first - to create a correct svg-document in the zipfile pubzip has to be run, then the document has to be saved, then pubzip has to be run again. - it fails with an ugly error when document is never saved before. Unknown problems: - only tested on Linux/Debian PPC Regards, Pim Snel -- Lingewoud B.V. | Tel. +31 418 663963 Maasdijk 4 | Fax. +31 418 663053 5328 BG Rossum | pim@...1254...

shape question
by Patrick Roane 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hey folks, I am a fairly new user of Inkscape and was wondering how I can create a square that has rounded corners on the top, but streight corners on the bottom? So far, I've noticed there are only 3 nodes which I can use to modify my square. One of which is used to round the corners- but it does all 4. Is there a way I can only select 2 of the 4 corners to round? Thanks- I hope this makes sense. Patrick

Inkscape static 686 rpm install on two FC3 installations
by Asif Lodhi 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi, I downloaded the static 686-specific rpm from sourceforge and installed it on my FC3 which doesn't have any devel libs etc. installed - I chose "personal desktop" setting when I installed FC3. The installed inkscape is working perfectly well on this one. However, I installed the same static 686-specific rpm on another FC3 installation with a few more things (MySQL, PostGreSQL, Apache, etc) installed and there I can't get it to run. It emits an error that some-lib.so is needed. Why don't I get the same error on the other FC3 installation? What has a static rpm to do with an .so lib? Please help. -- Asif

Adib (if that was you) can you please recreate the 0.43 > windows builds with those? Also, please alert the inkscape-user list when the new builds are available, as many people there appear to have been bitten by the small fonts issue and are awaiting resolution. -mental

EPS font problems
by David Soukal 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hello!! It's been some time since I asked for help here... Inkscape, that I use daily, has grown and improved tremendously since!! Thanks guys!! I have the following small problem: I am creating a lot of figures for my thesis in Inkscape. I generate my plots in Matlab and use Inkscape to fine tune the result and to add annotations. Since I am using PSFrag to get the final annotations in LaTeX, I am exporting my graphics into EPS format. My problem is that it seems as if the font information in my EPS has been incorrectly coded. Let me be more specific. I am using the font Verdana for my text. I would create, say, a vertical arrow and I want to have a text whose center is aligned with the arrow. I do that in Inkscape and everything looks as it should. However, in the exported EPS, the text is slightly off the center. The reason is that the font is different and hence the size of the text is different. The net result is that the annotation is slightly off in the final PDF file. First I thought that PSFrag's interpreter of PS format is broken: I thought it cannot find either the font description in the EPS or it cannot find the font itself (to get the dimension of the text). However, Scribus and Konqueror have the same problem: they lack the information about the font and use some default. The EPS file, however, does contain the font info. But in this compicated format /newlatin1font {findfont dup length dict copy dup /Encoding ISOLatin1Encoding put definefont} def /Verdana-ISOLatin1 /Verdana newlatin1font the references to this font look like /Verdana-ISOLatin1 findfont however, previous versions of Inkscape would create simply /Verdana findfont. Is there something I can do? Does this mean that Scribus & Konqueror do not respect the standard? There's workaround using PSFrag: I align the left side of the text with the arrow and then tell PSFrag to center the text in the final PDF. While this works OK, the problem is that the EPS does not really bear any information about the alignment itself.. so I suspect I'll forget when I look at the figure later :) THANK YOU for any insight! David
