0.44

http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes The Selected style indicator is extremaly useful. Any chance to have it act as a slider to set opacity? And ctrl/shift drag could affect contour width. That would rock! Karol

0.43 unable to open existing SVG files
by H.Fagard 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi all, I have downloaded and installed yesterday Inkscape 0.43 (MacOS X version). It launches fine, but if I try to open a SVG file, either created with the former version of Inkscape or with Adobe Illustrator, I get an error message saying: "Failed to load the requested file /Users/hf/..." although the file preview is displayed properly in the open dialog. I have then tried to create a new file with Inkscape 0.43, quit Inkscape, re-launch it, and tried to re-open the file Inkscape 0.43 had just created: same result, failed to load the file. Fortunately I had kept my former version of Inkscape so I could revert to it. Herve

Teeny tiny print
by Edward Hume 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

OK, I'm an old guy. But Inkscape 0.43-1 for Windows32 does not use my system's fontsize definitions for its menubars and menus. Instead, I get this really tiny type. This is a usability issue. In Windows, we have been able to set our own fontsizes systematically. Inkscape should follow the system. When you young guys hit 50, you'll want larger type, too. Ed

From Inkscape to Flash
by Tobias Eitel ... unterwegs ... 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Hi everyone, the FAQ states that "you can export graphics from Inkscape to use it in Flash". Which is the recommended file format? I am planning to do a very very simple animation, basically just some self drawn shapes moving over the screen. The idea is to draw the backgrounds and moving objects in inkscape and then export to flash. Are there any reports of successfully using inkscape for that?

RE: [Inkscape-user] Cut off digits after decimal point automatically?
by Dave Holmes 22 Nov '05

That's a good point you raise about throwing out zeros first because they are not significant digits. It would be interesting to see a script that compressed the image by removing extra digits as Henning suggested, but also allowed you to determine how much loss you were willing to accept. With the range of compression options such as: - lossless where it only throws out zeros eg. .75000000 >> .75, 143.23123576 >> 143.23123576 - lots of loss rounds all coordinates to nearest whole number, all opacity values to two decimal digits (so the percentage is a whole number) eg. .75000000 >> .75, 143.23123576 >> 143 - somewhere in between allows a user to specify how many digits to round off eg. .750 >> .75, 143.23123576 >> 143.231 I'm sure it would be possible to further optimize the compression by doing things like changing path names to shorter values, remove whitespace, convert styles to a style sheet, etc. - Dave -----Original Message----- From: inkscape-user-admin(a)lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:inkscape-user-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of mental@...32...

It seems like the numbers like 0.75000000 would be better candidates for throwing out digits (as those zeroes are not significant). For paths, throwing out the fractional part of all coordinates is likely to cause visible distortions. -mental ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

How to select
by Hago Ziegler 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Hi, if I have 5 objects, one over the other, partly transparent, and the lowest is not larger, but even smaller than the other ones. What is the most simple way to select the lowest object? Until now, if I didn't put them all on different layers, I always lowered the other objects, but that's a lot of work and sometimes everything gets mixed up. So, is there a smarter way? Regards, Hago
