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.

removing "SP* Properties" dialogs
by bulia byak 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I want to remove "SP* Properties" dialogs that are listed in the right-click menu of shape objects. Reasons: - they use technical terms without any explanations and are therefore confusing - they don't stay on top (I just didn't bother with them, planning to remove them eventually) - they're very limited (no units, no live update from selection) - most importantly, they're now completely redundant: if you want access to the raw attributes, use the XML editor; if you want convenient units, explanations, and live update from selection, use the controls bars of the corresponding tools. So I'd like to know if anyone is really using them, and if so, why and what needs to be done to help these users move away from this ancient remnant to more modern facilities. In other words, is there any unique functionality or convenience in them that I'm failing to see?

Well, I have just tried to install gtk+2-devel, but yast is now telling me I need to install gtk+2 = 2.1.0 and gtk-doc-common. As the error I got trying to install gtk+2 was that I need to install gtk+2 devel I am completely confused. Thanks for taking the time so far, can you offer one final burst of illumination?

latest version doesn't work

Hello ! I installed the latest version of Inkscape, but it won't fire up. The message I get from a console is $ inkscape inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1: undefined symbol: g_option_error_quark The previous version worked fine. <sigh> Any help appreciated.

Capitalized Text and Image Export
by Landon Blake 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

First I want to say how much I like the new version (0.40) of Inkscape. Great work everyone. There are a couple of things I'd like to mention, which may or may not be bugs. (1) When I have caps lock on, all of the other keys on the keyboard act as if the shif key is being pressed, not just the letters. For example, if I press the "8" key a "*" symbol is displayed. Or, if I press the ";" key a ":" is displayed. Is this intentional? (2) When I try to export an image Inkscape automatically minimizes the export dialog window. The only way I can make it visible is by right clicking on the minimized window and maximizing it to cover the entire screen of my monitor. So I only get 2 choices for display of the image export dialog, not at all or full screen. This isn't a major problem, but it would be good if I could manipulate the dialog like any other floating window. I am also wondering if there are any plans to implement a fully justified text feature in Inkscape. I realize it is a vector graphics program, but I think this is one of the only things that would prevent Inkscape from being used for document layout. Thanks, The Sunburned Surveyor P.S. - If I need to fill out a bug report on these 2 issues, just let me know. I am running Windows 2000 on a Dell Precision 530 machine, with version 0.40 of Inkscape.

Installing inkscape

Hi First, apologies for my poor posting etiquette in previous post. However I am still having trouble installing Inkscape to suse 9.1 Unable to install GTK+2 because it needs GTK+2 devel and I can't even find GTK+2 devel. Are there easier versions of sue or other distributions of linux to install inkscape on.
