That is not my experience. When I hit Tab with nodes selected, the selection moves to the next node on the path. When I hit Tab with the object selected, selection moves to the next object and the screen is centered on the object, usualy moving the part of the object that I am interested off-screen. Even when the centering does not move the display away from what I am looking at, the difference is no more visible due to the selection changing that when there are no objects selected. What I want is to see the node handles, and change selection to the other object and see the node handles on the other object. I can achieve this now by opening the document twice and using Alt-Tab two switch between one version with the first object selected, and the other instance with the second object selected. I have to be careful to use identical zoom and scroll operations on each window to get them exactly lined up. >Not to mention its being a "shame". I didn't mean "shame" in the strong sense that it's something to be ambarrassed or ashamed about, but in the causal sense of "it's inconvenient, and I would prefer it to be different". __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Apple X11, troubles with font cache!
by Tunnuz 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi folks, I have a problem. Whenever I try to run Inkscape on my iBook G4 with Mac OSX Tiger (after correctly install the X11 window manager - is it a window manager? I don't really know -) i receive an alert saying: Font caches may need to be updated There is a problem on OSX 10.4.x where X11 installation does not always generate the necessary fontconfig caches. This can be corrected by running /usr/X11R6/bin/fc-cache as root. I run fc-cache. I retry but nothing changes. So I went on #inkscape@...1099... to ask for help. The told me a solution: Manually create a dir called ~/.fonts, symlink my fontts into there, then create ~/.fonts.conf, then run fc-cache. Tried. Nothing changed. I have to give up? Someone has ideas? Lovely yours, Urli T.

Inkscape 0.43 Hard Freeze
by Bryce Harrington 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

With the completion of the bug party today, it is time to move into the hard freeze for Inkscape 0.43, under the watch of our release wardens pjrm and joncruz. Today's testing unfortunately did not cover all of the new features, but we did manage to bang on the connector code really hard, and scared up a number of bugs in it (no showstoppers, but a couple crashes and a lot of odd behaviors.) We attempted to get the inkboard feature working, but did not succeed in establishing a working connection, so there's at least one bug there... We closed about 10 bugs today, mostly invalid/dupe/outdated, but there were a few fixes. pjrm and joncruz will be the release wardens for this release. All changes to the codebase must go through them. Do not commit to CVS; instead post your changes as patches to the tracker with your rationale for why to include them before or after the 0.43 release. Peter and Jon will decide when the codebase is ready for release. This may include requiring specific bugs be fixed, or tasks to be done. When they feel it is ready, the codebase will be tagged and branched, and we will enter the release phase. I will continue to track tasks for the 0.43 release, but it will be up to them whether to wait until all those tasks are complete or to decide we are ready to release with some tasks still unfinished.

FOP (SVG2PDF)
by Bryce Harrington 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

This looks like it might be interesting: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ Sounds like it's able to take input from SVG and produce PDF. If anyone's interested in svg2pdf, this might be worth experimenting with to see if it's any good. It's available under the Apache license. Bryce

Bug Party Saturday!
by Bryce Harrington 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Announcement: Bug Party Invitation In an effort to beat the bug tracker and the feature tracker into submission, the Inkscape project is hosting a "Bug Party" on Saturday, September 24, 2005. This is an excellent opportunity for new contributors and non-developers to participate in the project. All day long (in the US time) the IRC channel #inkscape on server irc.freenode.org will be open, along with the correspondent Jabber room (see http://inkscape.org/discussion.php for more details). We expect to reach peak hours at 16-20 UTC on September 24 (8-12 PST) and 0-4 UTC on September 25 (16-20 PST on September 24) and guarantee presence of core Inkscape developers on those time intervals. For additional information, rules, procedures and tools, a Wiki page is available: http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BugParty If you are an Inkscape user looking for a way to contribute or an existing contributor wanting to contribute more, we await you! Contact Nicu or Bryce for more info if you have any questions!

>A shame?! For the specific use that I have, which is comparing the properties of two nodes on different objects, the snap makes the feature unusable. I can see that in the majority of cases it is useful, but in my case it breaks what I am trying to do. I know you can't please everybody, and I am particularly hard to please >:-> (the corollary to this is that I have become accustomed to disappointment :-) Spiff: >In a proprietary drawing package i used in a previous life, removing >a single node from a path would do a "simplify" in a small sense: it >would automagically change the control points of the surrounding (one >or two) nodes so that the path maintained as close a fit to the >original path as possible. I think that would be excellent. In addition, if this does get implemented, I can't see the value in retaining the current behaviour as an option. Maybe a check-box, but the behaviour you describe should be the default.

>I think this will be more or less covered by the bucket fill tool: Not if it is implemented as an approximation (rasterize & trace). I want the nodes to line up. Also if there is a gradient or bitmapped fill then the bucket fill tool will be of no use in this instance. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
