This releases squishes a major bug that replaced valid keywords in the clip art files with some strange HASH memory location text. Most of the clip art in the library and this release is now repaired. Bryce Harrington and Jon Phillips both presented at the 2005 Desktop Developers Conference in Ottawa. Harrington's presentation promoted Inkscape (www.inkscape.org) while Phillips' presentation introduced the Open Clip Art Library to the freedesktop community. Both presentations were well received and sparked several debates. Also added this month is a new clipart-announce mailing list (http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart-announce). The Open Clip Art Library encourages everyone to sign up for this list in order to ONLY receive messages about Open Clip Art Library release announcements. This list is especially well-suited for packagers and others that might not want to receive all the developer discussions from the primary project mailing list (http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart). As always, see what the librarians and artists are working on at http://planet.openclipart.org. Artist and librarians (developer) for the project who would like to be included in this blog should contact (http://openclipart.org/contact.php) the project admins in order to be added.

locale
by Karol Kreński 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Hi, This one should probably go to devel, but since I am not subscribed: I have got English interface in inkscape 0.42 from autopackage. My locale is fine and is used by gimp & friends. The problem seems to be here: fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=111332, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 111332, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 6, 0) = 0x40a11000 close(6) = 0 open("/usr/local/share/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES/inkscape.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/local/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/inkscape.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY) while autopackage puts the ".mo" here: /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/inkscape.mo Is it my distro (PLD Linux) problem, autopackage or inkscape's problem? The problem gets fixed when I put .mo to right directory. Karol

clone / dublicate with fixed values
by unknown＠example.com 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

hi, not sure if I am in the right place here ?! Just one question: how is it possible to create a defined number of lines with a defined fixed spacing? e.g. I have one thin line that I want to clone 10 times in horizontal direction and they should have a fiexed spacing of e.g. 1cm from each other. I used clone tile for it, but there are only percent-values possible to clone e.g. horizontaly. Thanks

a bug...I think
by Elwin Estle 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

I have noticed several times that when I have an object selected and open the fill and stroke dialog (usually with the icon on the toolbar at the top of the screen), that when I use the little arrows to the right of the number box in the stroke style tab to raise/lower the width of the stroke, that BOTH arrows act to raise the value! The only way I can get a lesser value is to just input the number. Even this sometimes does weird things. I will put in a number and then it will change to a higher value by itself. I went to the sourceforge bug tracker thingy to try to put in a report...but could not for the life of me figure out how to do it, so I figured I'd post it here. As a side note, twice now when I have combined two objects into one with the boolean union function, then converted them to a path so as to remove some unwanted details by selecting the unnecessary nodes and clicking the little "minus" icon to remove them; the program locks up. I have also been zoomed quite a bit to distinguish between the nodes. I realize this is not a very in depth report, I am just wondering if anybody else has had anything like this happen. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

I am just starting with inkscape 0.42 ... it looks very promissing: but from the 7th or 8th use of it ... I see the text and page backgound color in the Inkscape window, but not when I open the .svg in IE6 (lines and shapes yes, but text no) . Someone can help ? I first use Adobe viewer 3.03, then change to v.6, and then again to v.3.03... can this be related with the problem ? wich version you recomend ? thank you very munch. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

Cloned objects and stroke
by Karol Kreński 06 Aug '05

Hi, I cloned A into B. Now when scaling B the stroke on B scales too - no matter that Scale-stroke-width-button is off. I believe I am doing something wrong. Thanks in advance, Karol

inkscape:
by Elwin Estle 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

In case anybody is interested...here is a little something I whipped up last night. Took me maybe three hours, plus another hour exporting to Gimp and resizing/converting to JPEG (three times). It isn't the first thing I made, but it is the first I have posted anywhere. Now the whole thing about this is: I can't draw worth a crap, but I am not too bad at sculpting, with Inkscape, I was able to "sculpt" this drawing in two dimensions. This is a very cool program, in some ways more useful than the Gimp. I haven't messed with paths in Gimp too much, because I kept getting results that weren't what I wanted. Paths in Inkscape, to me, seem much easier. http://www.zazzle.com/contributors/products/gallery/browse_results.asp?cid=… ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

moving an object with a gradient
by wayne 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

How does one move an object while preserving its gradient fill? Seems like when I move the object, the fill remains stationary while the object moves away. Thanks, Wayne inkscape 0.42
