latest version doesn't work
by Josenildo Marques 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

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
by aaron Moore 05 Jan '05

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.

Hi I have tier to install inkscape to suse 9.1 a number of times and failed. Each time I get a message telling me to install gtk+. I have installed all the gtk packegs I can find in yast but am still unable to install inkscape. Can anyone offer advice? I have installed it to windows and think it is pretty good, but find it odd that such programs are easier to install on windows than on linux Thanx in advance Aaron -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

Results of librsvg bug: Inkscape action?
by Andrew Conkling 04 Jan '05

04 Jan '05

Well, I reported the bug about having to resave gradients to render correctly with librsvg: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161467 But they make a good point about reordering gradients: ------- Additional Comment #5 From Dom Lachowicz 2005-01-02 16:32 ------- it is best, in my opinion, if the SVGs are emitted in a "streamable" format, which means that gradient 578 should appear before gradient 581 in the file. technically librsvg, not inkscape, is at fault here. but that doesn't mean that inkscape still isn't doing something stupid. Is there any way that Inkscape can reorder gradients according to number? Thanks, Andrew

Multi-object color adjustments
by Chris 04 Jan '05

04 Jan '05

Maybe you can already do this in Inkscape, but it would be nice if there was some way to do broad color adjustments with multiple objects selected. This would not make sense on the RGB scale, but on the HSV scale this would be very useful. This would allow you to adjust the tint, brightness, and saturation on a group of objects. For example, if I create a complex multi-object button, I want to quickly make different versions in various color shades without having to edit everything carefully by hand. If there is already some way to do this please let me know. -- // Chris

filling a composed object
by mattie 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

hi, I have the following situation: I drew 2 calligraphic lines which cross each other, so they form a closed area. I did a union operation on them so they form 1 object. Now I wonder: how can I fill this object with a gradient? The fill color only fills the calligraphic lines :\ I tried making a cut through a filled rectangle, without success.. any tips? matthias -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

Inkscape UI mock-up
by Jiaxiang 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Good day. This image is just a simple little mock-up of an idea for an alternate Inkscape interface. Since most users like the current interface, there would, of course, be no need to change it. But when I read that, amazingly, future versions of Inkscape will incorporate SVG animation, (!) I thought the interface might need a little adjustment to incorporate future features (like the animation feature, filters, anything else that could be used to display the power of SVG). I could be way off with this, but it's just an idea. What do you other users think? Would this type of interface be too bulky? To have collapsible/detachable toolbox compartments is, in my opinion, a great thing. Sometimes I have to work on my notebook computer, and to be able to collapse/detach menu items lets me work more effeciently. -Joshua / Jiaxiang PS - Please ignore my type error and the duplicate icons. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Putting a resizable toolbar space where you can do this (being each number a "tool")... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...or... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...or... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...changing the layout everytime the window size changes for some reason, it's the best method to enforce the user to parse visually all the drawings every time he/she have to do a click on them.
