History of Inkscape development?
by Lee Fallat 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

Hey inkscape-user mailing list, In light of the Figma acquisition by Adobe, I've been thinking of Inkscape. Since 1.0, the user experience has greatly improved, and this has me wondering: what has changed that enabled this rapid development? I remember Inkscape being stuck on some version for years, hardly progressing for whatever reasons. Now I feel more than ever Inkscape could use development resources. As a FOSS enthusiast I feel knowing its history could help getting into its development, giving context to what exists today and less questioning about decisions made along the way. Thank you very much, Lee

Good morning, I am writing to you about the Inkscape license, I wanted to ask you, therefore, if it was necessary, in case I used inkscape to create 2d works to be included in my commercial video game, some type of credits or acknowledgments to Inkscape or if I could use it freely without nothing additional thank you for the help Nadr.

Yes the export dialog is mis-behaving. BTW my file folders come up very slowly in Ubuntu as well which is why I was afraid of other problems. Inkscape 1.2 (56b05e47e7, 2022-06-09, custom) GLib version: 2.72.1 GTK version: 3.24.33 glibmm version: 2.66.2 gtkmm version: 3.24.5 libxml2 version: 2.9.13 libxslt version: 1.1.34 Cairo version: 1.16.0 Pango version: 1.50.6 HarfBuzz version: 2.7.4 OS version: Ubuntu Core 22 Last week the Inkscape version changed to 1.2 so I guess that was snap. I am a casual Ubuntu user, so I don't understand your advice on fixing it.

Directory path problem exporting to png in Ubuntu
by Dale Walton 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

When I click on the directory and choose a directory, add the file name and save, it exports to a directory /run/user/1000/doc/<8 character hexidecimal> This then shows in the export file field with the entered file name at the end. This morning a file saved correctly, later this problem occered and the files show in the correct directory but look like ".xdp_<file name>.ZDP701. After my last attempts to correct the directory in the file field of the export window, the files dont even show in the directory or in the Ubuntu "Recent" directory, but exist in the /run... directory. Is this an Inkscape problem, or do I have a rootkit, or both, or something else??
