Hi everyone, if you speak Chinese, could you help out an Inkscape user in the answers section? >From google translate, it looks like a crash report, a native speaker who can also search through the bug reports would be helpful. https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/403988 Thank you, Kind Regards, Maren

performance issue with Objects dialog
by Brynn 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi Friends, I'm working on a large file, but before I opened the Objects dialog, I wasn't have any performance issues. For example, group and ungroup of 30 to 50 objects, there was no delay. But after opening Objects dialog, I'm having approx 3 to 4 minute delay between clicking group or ungroup, and Inkscape doing it. Is this expected? Or should make bug report? Oh! Already reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1431274 In my opinion, this is quite unfortunate. If there's any time when this new dialog can be so helpful, it's working with large, complex files. This is an extreme delay which makes it unusable for me. :-( I hope this can be fixed. Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1, Inkscape 0.92pre2, 32-bit, exe installer. I could make up a test file for you, if it would be helpful. Or any other files I could provide, let me know. Thank you very much, brynn

Help with a bug report
by Donn Ingle 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Hi, I am on a PPA (Ubuntu 16.04) of the latest dev inkscape. I notice that if I have the layers (or anything, like fill/stroke) open as a window (a dialogue tool window affair) - i.e. not docked - and then I close Inkscape, that window remains open. The only way to completely close inkscape is "killall inskcape" from the command line. I have looked at the bugs on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ but I am not sure how to check this is not a duplicate or known bug. The wording is tricky. Any ideas? /d

Hi is a problem because when you group a "circle" change from svg:path to svg:ellipse and this dont handle well LPE inside grups. Workarround: convert circles to paths pre-lpe it if inside a group. Cheers, Jabier.

nodes jump back (0.92pre2)
by Brynn 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi Friends, Still playing with 0.92pre2 and came across some unexpected behavior of nodes. I made a very short video, but I can provide more docs if needed. (Btw, you can also see that weird HSL display in the window, which has been reported separately.) http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/vids/node-jump.mp4 So you can see that I've enabled the rotation handles on some selected nodes, and rotated them slightly. Then I want to move them just by simple drag. But as soon as I drag them, they un-rotate themselves, so that the drag has taken effect, but the rotation was undone. Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1, Inkscape 0.92pre2 exe installer, 32-bit. I don't have a clue where to start looking for what's causing this. Since I guess this is a kind of tranformation, I looked at Inkscape Preferences > Behavior > Transform. It's set for Optimized, but I don't know (a) what that means or (b) whether it should even matter in this situation. Is there a way to prevent the rotation from being undone? It does work to do the drag first and rotation last. So I guess it's a workaround. Thank you very much, brynn

Perspective Path Effect on groups
by Donn Ingle 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

I'm on the PPA of a (very) shaky Inkscape 0.92 devel build. (Ubuntu 16.04) Can anyone describe how to get perspective on a group? I watched the youtube (linked from the release notes) but it does not match what I see on my end. Steps: 1. Draw a few circles. Group them. Select the group. 2. Open Path Effects window. Add "Perspective/Envelope". 3. Switch to the node tool (manually). 4. Drag the corners around. It: 1. Only affects one thing in the group. 2. or crashes Inkscape. 3. or does nothing. The group remains the same. Mystified, /d

use gradient mesh in About contest?
by Brynn 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi Friends, Since I recently learned how to enable the Gradient Mesh tool in 0.92pre2 (and 0.91 too) I wonder if it could be used in the About Screen Contest? Or would it not be fair, since most people probably don't know about it. Thanks, brynn

Rotate Copies LPE - possible bug?
by Brynn 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

Hi Jabier and All, I found an odd behavior in Rotate Copies LPE. Whenever I choose an odd number of copies, it makes double that number. Even numbers, it makes that number. So if I choose 6 copies, it makes 6 copies. If I choose 7 copies, it makes 14! If I set to 8, it makes 8. I set 9, it makes 18. Etc. I made a video. http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/vids/rot-cop-lpe.mp4 Do you need the SVG file? Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1, Inkscape 0.92pre2 (exe installer, 32-bit) Thanks, brynn
