Brynn: (some/all?) Europeans use a comma instead of a decimal point so 25,4 means 25.4 see: google [countries that use comma for decimal point] --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark Regards ...

Inkscape 0.92.1pre1 now available
by Bryce Harrington 04 Feb '17

04 Feb '17

This is a pre-release for the upcoming stable bugfix release 0.92.1. Download it at: https://inkscape.org/en/download/development-versions The release is: 0.92.1pre1 Source Tarball Bzip https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/10650/inkscape-0.92.1pre1.tar_TMk7wbg.… String Freeze is now in effect, as well as Hard Freeze. This means no changes will be taken that change any translatable strings. Bug fix patches will still be considered, but only if they're completely safe; patches should be extremely minimal, reviewed by more than one person, and well-tested. Nothing that looks even slightly risky, uncertain, or unfinished please, but I'll consider on a case by case basis, so give me a ping to take a look. == Translations == With String Freeze in effect, no string changes in code are permitted and translations can now be completed. Please finalize your work prior to Monday, Feb 13th. == Future Releases == It's my fault we're running about a week past-schedule (I was trying to fit the dpi dialog work in before the cutoff, but that patch needs a bit more attention.) So I'd like to bump the schedule back by one week to make up for it: Proposed Timing: Original New Date √ Mon Jan 2 Feature Freeze √ 0.92.1pre0 Mon Jan 23 Hard Freeze √ 0.92.1pre1 Mon Jan 30 Fri Feb 3 String Freeze 0.92.1pre2 Mon Feb 6 Mon Feb 13 Release Candidate 0.92.1 Fri Feb 10 Fri Feb 17 Cut Release Mon Feb 13 Mon Feb 20 Announcement Looking forward, point releases on the 0.92.x branch will continue onward, including after we've migrated to git. I am thinking a cadence of a couple months per point release seems to be about the right balance of time, so that'd put 0.92.2 in the April timeframe and 0.92.3 out around July. Further forward, we discussed 0.93 a bit today. I know there's lots of work still to be done to get trunk to a releasable state. I would like to start gathering status on it, to get a better feel for about when we can start planning the release. I'll be posting more about this later, but for now if you have work in process in trunk, I'd love to hear of your plans. Thanks, Bryce

Wow! Thank you so much! I did not expect such a quick turnaround. I got one other response privately as well so it will likely end up being a nuanced hybrid of the two. Seriously, I was thinking it would have taken days and this was super fast! I literally can't thank you enough! Can I also ask if you're replying from a specific mailing list? I want to make sure we're not underestimating our community on the user list. (Note: I remember you from the 2015 hackfest, so please know I'm not thinking you're a random person :)) Cheers, Josh On Wed, Feb 1, 2017 at 9:58 PM, Amelia Bellamy-Royds <amelia.bellamy.royds@...155...> wrote: > Cutting text down to meet arbitrary word/character limits happens to be a > specialty of mine. > > The below version (in Markdown instead of WikiText) is just under 1500 > characters.

Hi, Brynn! Thanks for staying with this isue! So do you mean that the 9.1 release will work on OSX 10.12? Website says 10.7-10.10, so I figured it wouldn't work... I'll have to wait on following up with MacPorts my laptop was lifted from my bag yesterday! So, I'll have to deal with insurance, etc and it'll be at least week or so before I have my a laptop again. Bit of a shock, but life does do this every now and then:-} Great news that there could be an official release! That would be superb! So, I'll hang in there (here?) and I guess I'll get Inkscape to work at some point! But I'm very glad the community and forum is working well, makes things a lot easier!

Re: [Inkscape-user] Edit particular part of SVG only
by DyslexicAwe Talent 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

Hello Lars, Very much like you, I am new to the list (albeit not entirely new to Inkscape itself). If Inkscape allows for user scripting, however, which I am not sure if it does, (Edit) I had to google and I found a blog post titled "Inkscape extensions by non developers, for non developers. A primer". The post explains it is possible. To avoid breaking the url across lines, I decided to shorten it, so see https://goo.gl/Fr2Mre to read how non-developers like you and me could create an extension. It's a bit intimidating to think about it, but maybe it could be done by non-developers, I don't know.) then an ordinary user could write a script (or extension) and make the process automatized. Providing that the part you want to edit is selected, the extension would need to: a) create new layer and name it "1st temporary (layer)", b) move currently selection to the newly created temp layer, c) create another layer and name it for example "2nd temp (layer)", d) reverse the selection, e) move new selection (i.e. all but those in the 1st temp layer) to the second temp layer, f) lock and g) hide the 2nd temp layer, This way we would be able to select and edit the parts from "1st temp layer" only, as you suggested. Kind Regards, DyslexicAweTalent P.S. To editors of the list. Maybe you want people who are new to the list, like me, to read the reminders how to contribute to the list, using a numbered list like that (just a humble proposal): 1) If sending a new submission, send it to inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net 2) If replying, the Subject line should be changed from generic "XXX digest" to a "Re:" and more specific subject. Date: 30 Jan 2017 15:41 From: "Lars" <noreply@...3267...> Subject: Edit particular part of SVG only > Say an SVG file has a chair. The chair is composed of several parts. It > has a back, legs, etc. > Can one part be completely isolated?

Inkscape does not see Times New Roma font
by Rafael Morales Gamboa 02 Feb '17

Hello, I am running Inkscape 0.48 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 (Elementary OS Freya), and I have installed Microsoft Core and New fonts. Now it happens that Inkscape can see them all but Times New Roman, and I cannot see way. Any ideas? Regards, Rafael

Try copying the ttf file for the font into the hidden .fonts folder in your home folder. This usually works well for me on Ubuntu based distros. In fact it works so well that I often just clone Google's entire open fonts git repo right into it. :) Hope it helps! -C On 31 Jan 2017 10:16 p.m., "Rafael Morales Gamboa" <rmorales@...3269...> wrote: > Hello, > I am running Inkscape 0.48 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 (Elementary OS Freya), and I > have installed Microsoft Core and New fonts.
