Hi, I'm a long-time follower of Inkscape development, and recently a user (got my first actual work done a couple of days ago). I tried to subscribe to the mailing list through the form in the website, But I didn't get any reply back. So I'm sending this using the email address there. Who can I contact to subscribe?

by Michal Žeravík 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Hi all, I've finally updated to 0.41 on my gentoo box and tried Make Bitmap Copy with inkscape-shadow.sh script, but only transparent square image appears. Script is running : convert -mattecolor #000f -frame 12x12 -fx '0' -channel A -blur 12x4 New_document_1-path1291-247.png New_document_1-path1291-247.png and I have <group filter="/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkscape-shadow.sh" filter_param1="4" minsize="30" id="createbitmap" /> in preferences. How can I fix that (or return to default behaviour)? Thank you Michal

Hi there, although I have gs and pstoedit installed here (Slackware 10.1, Inkscape 0.41) and they are in the path, on startup I still get the error message of missing extensions and have no eps and ps import. *********************************************************************** behrens@...591...:~$ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/www/htdig/bin :/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin :/usr/share/texmf/bin:. behrens@...591...:~$ which gs /usr/bin/gs behrens@...591...:~$ which pstoedit /usr/local/bin/pstoedit *********************************************************************** The log file (in german, missing dia and sketch input is ok): *********************************************************************** Erweiterung "Dia Input" Laden fehlgeschlagen wegen die Abhängigkeiten konnten nicht aufgelöst werden.

NEW: snapping improvements
by bulia byak 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

- When several objects (or a group) are selected and the "snap points" mode is active, only the outermost points or nodes will snap, instead of all points in selection. [patch by Eric Jonas] - In the "snap points" mode, a text object will snap its baseline anchor (the left end of the baseline) to grid or guides. That anchor point is visualized as a little square mark when a text object is selected.

Got logo?
by Mark Woodman 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hey all, The ROME project is an open-source project to help developers easily read/create syndication feeds in any RSS/RDF/Atom format. So what? So we need a logo. And we figured you some of you folks might be interested in submitting some logo designs created with Inkscape. We're even offering some modest prizes, but we hope you'll submit entries just for the sake of showing us your stuff. For more info: http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javawsxml/RomeLogoContest Thanks and good luck, Mark (on behalf of the ROME Project development team) -- Mark Woodman http://inkblots.markwoodman.com

Request for snapping behavior on object groups, text.
by Eric Jonas 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hello! I've been using inkscape for about a year now, and I've really fallen in love with it. Now I use it for about two hours each day to do technical illustration. One thing still frustrates me to no end though: the snapping behavior. I know this is a hotbutton issue, so I've tried to document my request with pictures and comparisons to illustrator, which I think gets this behavior right (from a technical illustration perspective). http://web.mit.edu/jonas/www/ohsnap/ohsnap.shtml I try and outline some of the things that could stand improvement. I would love to hack on this myself but I think it would take forever for me to grok the text-handling code. Does inkscape have any sort of feature/bug bounty program? I'll gladly chip in some cash or free beer :) Thanks again for making such a great product, I really hope we can reach agreement on how to snap... Thanks again, ...Eric

"It also imports several formats like EPS" - howto on Windows?
by R. Alan Monroe 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Is the EPS import functionality available in the Windows build? I couldn't get .39 or .41 to open .eps files. Also, are there plans to add embedded tiff previews to exported eps? I can add them after the fact with gsview, but it's a slow manual process. (I'm interested in eps because RagTime Solo can't currently handle svg natively) Alan
