Opening large files
by unknown＠example.com 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

Hi, Sorry if this has already been dealt with but: I have a large svg file which I cannot open in Inkscape (v.0.40). My file is a large graph produced with graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/), but inkscape seems to hang using 99% of the cpu when I try to open it. The same file opens in sodipodi 0.34, though admittedly it takes about 10s to open. After opening sodipodi is using about 68% of memory, on my 512Mb machine. Inkscape seems to stop using more memory after 55%, but it never opens. The svg file is about 5.1Mb. Is there anything I can do about this? I'd like to use Inkscape to view & modify this file. Thanks, gav. ___________________________________________________________ Book yourself something to look forward to in 2005.

Entry submitted to the Free Software Directory
by Felix Rabe 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

Hi, I just found this page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/for-windows.html>. It lists - not Inkscape, no, BUT - Sodipodi. I reckon this comes from Inkscape not being listed in the Free Software Directory <http://directory.fsf.org/>. I've just submitted a request to add an entry for Inkscape. I listed Bryce Harrington <you_know_your_email@...420... ;o)> as the maintainer and developer. The keyword list brings me to the suggestion of not just mentioning "open source editor", but also "free software editor" in the HTML keywords. Just a suggestion... Greetings, Felix

Command-line options
by Steffen Glückselig 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hello, first thanks for your help on vectorizing. Then: I thought there was the possibility of invoking inkscape via the commandline to do e.g. svg2png-transfromation. I couldn't find a document describing these options. Where can I get more information on the commandline invokation? Thanks, again. Steffen

Wish: Autosimplify + Autocollapse after tracing
by plagiats 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hi everyone, With the colorfull new version of bitmap tracing included in Inkscape, the pleasure of designing with vectors made a giant step in my heart. By the way after tracing a picture, I always use the option to "simplify path" (Ctrl+F). Cause else there are too many anchor to work on the shape effisciently. "Simplifying" tool does a great job and is easy to use with monochrome tracing. But it's a pain to use with colorfull shape. You have to select all anchors of each shape (one by one). Painfull. And it creates some holes beetwen the shapes. So my wish, or call it a suggestion :), is to add in the tracing dialog box two checkboxes. One asking to "Auto-simplify" the shapes and the other one to "Auto-collapse" gaps between generated shapes. What do developpers think about it ? This two checkboxes would blow my mind... Have a nice day, Denis.
