Can't move forward
by Bungee 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

I seem to be stuck with Inkscape 0.41 at the moment :( If I try the 0.42 RPM I get a symbol library error - sorry can't remember the exact details. If I try to compile the more recent 0.42.2 'make' reports that I don't have recent enough gdk and gtk libraries. I'm using mandrake 10.1, which I would have thought was *reasonably* up-to-date, and I'm not keen on the idea of fiddling around with these libraries and risking a lot of dependency problems for the sake of one application :( -- Bungee

I have been using Ubuntu "Hoary" now for some time, and it's really amazing how many programs you can download or upgrade from the various repositories! All you need is an Internet connection. Prior to Ubuntu I also used Mandrake 10 for a while (and before that, SuSE 9.1), but Ubuntu is so user-friendly that I can really recommend it! I updated from Inkscape 0.30 to 0.41 via just one command line ('sudo apt-get update inkscape'). I admit that I'm still getting some error messages because I need to include some additional sources (which can be a bit confusing, but the forum http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ is great, and you usually get friendly & helpful replies). I'm looking forward to v 0.42! HTH, Claus P.S.: BTW, can someone give me a clue on how to accomplish this effect: http://inkscape.sourceforge.net/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.37-linux-xml… I tried it using 'tile clones...' plus the XML editor, but to no avail! :-( So far, I can only imagine doing all of this by hand! -- Profile: http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/profil/en/ (in English) Djangology: http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/djangology/ (deutsch) Glossar "Computergrafik": http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/glossar/ (deutsch)

Close dialog box
by Hibbs, Phil 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

Does anyone else find the 'close' dialog box yo be confusing? It asks a question, and presents three options none of which are a direct answer to the question: Save changes to document "x" before closing? [Close without saving] [Cancel] [Save] Those options are effectively [No], [Cancel], [Yes] which doesn't seem a natural order for the answers either. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Senior Programmer __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Layer Editor?
by Chris Spencer 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

Inkscape's use of layers I find potentially powerful, but the current interface seems limiting. Inkscape's use of layers appears more-or-less equivalent to those used in the GIMP. Therefore, would it be a good idea to implement something like the GIMP's "Layers" window, allowing the user to physically see the separate layers, toggle their visibility, and rearraign their order? Regards, Chris

RE: [Inkscape-user] nodes?
by Hibbs, Phil 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

There are toolbar buttons that do this. I asked a similar question a few weeks ago because I hadn't spotted them either. They appear when you have a node selected. (I don't have inkscape on this machine so I can't give any more detail) __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Senior Programmer __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

RE: [Inkscape-user] Area Selection Tool?
by Hibbs, Phil 17 Sep '05

>Is there any tool that would just let me click an empty area and >have it automatically create a new shape by detecting the edges >of nearby paths? This vector equivalent to the bitmap fuzzy-select/ >magic-wand tool would be extremely useful. Would you want it to follow invisible edges? I commented on the feature request, but someone else said that it would be better to rasterize the image, trace the shape, and then vectorize the result. I think this is a mistake, it should follow edges exactly. If there are hidden edges then this can be overcome by creating a number of shapes and welding them together. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
