>I'm sorry to come nagging right now, but i started sodipodi recently, and >discovered, that i like the zoom tool options floating around all the time. >woul�d >it be a big conceptual problem, for all this toolbars to be individualy >dispacheble? Generally leaving a tool options panel on when the tool is not active would be a problem. But most zoom panel buttons are not really tool specific, they're global verbs, and they're in that panel simply because we did not have another. When I add a Commands panel at the top we can move some of the most commonly used zoom buttons to it. Which ones you use the most? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium includes powerful parental controls and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

timetable2svg

Last year I kluged together a C program that makes my school timetable in SVG for me out of a plain text definition. I kluged further to make it do generic tables to help my old one-banana job at Coles. This year I rewrote it from the ground up. It's still very messy, but it does: * Notice when you put one box on top of another * Put cute little pointy bits on all the corners. If you're still reading after fully two paragraphs, here are the links: example input & output: http://yoyo.its.monash.edu.au/~trent/src/src/examples/ sources: http://yoyo.its.monash.edu.au/~trent/src/src/mktable.c http://yoyo.its.monash.edu.au/~trent/src/src/convenience.h http://yoyo.its.monash.edu.au/~trent/src/src/convenience.c instructions: cc *.c -o mktable ./mktable < foo.table > foo.svg HAND -trent -- If it wasn't for C, we'd be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL.

>1. One >2. Two >3. Three ALmost perfect, but unfortunately only works by referring to the original mailing list thread :) >Lose the plurality: command bar, tool control bar, toolbox. I think losing the plurality only makes sense if we combine words into one, e.g. "commandbar", otherwise it's confusing (which command? which tool control?) >1 Main Bar It's not "main" in any reasonable sense imho. >2 Tweak Bar ([Fine] Tuning? Not descriptive enough. >2 [Tool] Options? They're not exactly options; they're controls that make sense for the tool and let you use it. >3. Tool Options bar And 3 is not options either, it has tools themselves. >Calling it the `toolbox' is a bit of a misnomer, since it's not a box >anymore. `Tool Bar' is worse, unfortunately. Yes. >1. "Application Toolbar" (for generally-applicable actions) Maybe, but kinda vague. Don't other bars belong to the same application? > 2. "Modal Toolbar" (the horizontal modal action/option bar) Correct technically, but confusing. A modal dialog is the one which freezes the app; what does a modal toolbar freeze? >3. "Tool Selector" (the vertical tool selector bar) Hmm. "Please select the Selector tool on the Tool Selector." Not gonna work :) >1. "Function Bar" Function or Functions? Anyway this seems to be a close equivalent to "Commands bar". _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.

terminology - help needed

There are going to be three "toolbars" in Inkscape: 1. Under the menu, horizontal, with buttons for common non-tool-specific operations such as Open, Save, etc. 2. Below 1, horizontal, with too-specific buttons and controls (exists now and is called "top panel" or "aux toolbar"). 3. Vertical at the left, with tool buttons. The question is: How to call them? They are all "toolbars" technically but using the word "toolbar" without distinction is going to be very confusing. Even using "toolbar" for 3 only is going to be confusing because people are used to calling "toolbars" any horizontal rows of buttons. So the names need to be unique but at the same time descriptive and short. Most importantly, they must stick. "Top panel" for 2 did not stick, somehow. Here is the best I could think of: 1. Commands bar 2. Tool controls bar 3. Toolbox Any other ideas? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium: Up to 11 personalized e-mail addresses and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

Easy testing of Inkscape builds on Linux with Autopackage
by Bryce Harrington 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

Hi Guys, One of the cool new features for this upcoming release is something called 'autopackage', which if it works, promises to make it very easy to install Inkscape on Linux, especially if you're using an RPM-based system. But to make sure this works we need folks to test it out. It's easy to do so. Here are some screenshots so you can see what it'll look like: http://autopackage.org/gallery.html First, download this file: http://navi.cx/~mike/inkscape/inkscape-0.39cvs.package Next, follow the four steps on this page: http://autopackage.org/docs/howto-install/index.html Finally, write down anything that you find confusing or have problems with during the installation or while using the program, and put your feedback into the bug tracker for Inkscape. (See Report Bugs on the Inkscape website.) Note that each day you can re-run the .package file to update to the latest and greatest inkscape code. Thanks, Bryce

Docking
by Adam Pearson 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

Hi all Using Gimp 2 on Windows XP, I "undocked" the tool options palette by mistake - how can I re-dock this? Note that on my (XP) display, there is no double line at the supposed docking position at the foot of the box (if you follow me!). I would send a screen shot but I think attachments are stripped by the list server? Adam
