Missing arrow heads
by Raymond Wan 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

Dear all, I'm just starting out with Inkscape but I have this feeling there is something wrong with my installation. I'm running Inkscape 0.91 on Ubuntu 16.10 (i.e., I installed from a package and not source). I'm trying to draw an arrow. After I draw a line with the Bezier tool, I hit Shift+CTRL+F and select the Stroke style tab. From there, I think if I want an arrow head, I would select it from one of the 3 pull-down lists next to the word "Markers". However, I have no choices to choose from. I just have a horizontal line. When I click on them, I have nothing to choose from. A colleague is using the Microsoft Windows version and can confirm that he has arrow heads to choose from using the same steps that I'm using. Am I missing something? A setting perhaps? I've tried looking for instructions online to "activate" the markers but can't seem to find anything...though, in truth, I'm not sure what I should be looking for. Thank you and sorry for the very basic question! Ray

Launchpad issue

Hi Friends, I used to be automatically subscribed to any bug report in which I have commented (or started the report myself). But I just made a couple of comments and noticed I wasn't getting an email. Then I looked at the reports again, and it showed that I was not subscribed. I went to my profile in LP and saw an option to "Change email settings". Not sure if that would give me a way to be subscribed to any report where I post a comment, I clicked on it to find out. Even though I'm already logged in (I just posted comments), I'm prompted to log in to something called Ubuntu One. I'm currently a Windows user ,and already logged in. There isn't any option to bypass this Ubuntu One login. So how can I get to the email settings? Thank you very much, brynn

Congratulations arelnjeru01 !!! And thanks Martin for all your hard work making the website working to handle the contest. I know there were some glitches along the way, but it's all worked out in the end. Well done!! I have some vague memory from last time, that the 2nd place entry becomes the about screen for the next dev version. But I could be wrong.

Please pass around the good news to all. The entrants this year were really VERY good, even those that didn't make this round of voting. I'm going to leave the committing of the winning entry to the repository to someone else. If you'd like to do this job, please download the svg directly from the above link. We can select a developer's about screen for trunk too, any of the entrants can be considered and I don't think we need a vote on that. Or we can keep the machine robot we have now, both are good.

Looks awesome Jabier! I can see this being useful for cell-shading comics, and it masks the issue Inkscape has where a small gap is rendered between adjacent fill edges. Thanks for the demo! -C On 26 Nov 2016 10:25 pm, "Jabier Arraiza" <jabier.arraiza@...2982...> wrote: Hi all. I just do a tiny extension on inkscape.org extension page.

If I knew how to make a super detailed step by step video I would... but I don't. :( Would love if someone did this. :) On Nov 22, 2016 12:16 PM, "Brynn" <brynn@...3089...> wrote: Hi Friends, I've just downloaded 0.92pre3, 64-bit, 7z version, for Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1.

fill pattern to explicit paths
by unknown＠example.com 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to convert my fill pattern which looks like this: <pattern id="diagonalHatch" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="4" height="4" patternTransform="rotate(45 2 2)"> <path d="M -1,2 l 6,0 M 2,-1 l 0,6" style="stroke:#000000; stroke-width:1" /> </pattern> and then: fill="url(#diagonalHatch)" to explicit paths, cause in my use case I cant use the fill argument, everything must be paths. For now I convert my svg to pbm and back to svg, this is quick'n'dirty but was the only solution I found til now. I want to do this automated on linux, so I'm looking for a cli solution so I can integrate it into my process. Is this even possible with inkscape or are there other tools I could use? Regards Matthias

Survey
by Victor Westmann 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Hi Folks, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct mailing list but here it goes: Wouldn't it be cool if we could have a survey of, let's say, max 8 to 10 questions to understand better how much our users are involved with the inkscape project and how they use the Inkscape. If they use it more to do mockups, design templates, buttons for websites, to vectorize raster blueprints or what. What do you guys think? This way we could try to bring more users to get involved with the project and try to understand better what do they look in the project. Maybe we could prioritize that. What do you guys say? --Victor Westmann
