Inkscape - insensitive mode
by Adam Pearson 22 May '04

22 May '04

Hi all Please forgive a newcomer to Inkscape and someone who knows nothing about the programming behind the screen: Using the selector tool, I can make objects/groups of objects "insensitive", which is potentially very useful as I can then use it like e.g. Photoshop to make a quasi-layer BUT Can I undo this later - i.e. can I come back to the "insensitive" object or group and "re-activate" it? Regards to all Adam in Australia

Hi all, I hope that I made this a bit clearer and I submitted a RFE, #957009, complete with an example.

The menu and the dialogs use standard font size. And on my system, for example, the font size of Sodipodi 0.34 is noticeably smaller than that of Inkscape. Gimp 2.0 has the same font size as Inkscape. So it's more likely that Sodipodi decreases its global font size artificially (although I don't know how, could anyone explain how this is possible?). >2) It seems inkscape expects all strings (including > file names) to be UTF-8 encoded (although I do not > use a UTF-8 locale, but de_DE@...120... Thus file names > that contain german umlauts etc. cause trouble. Should not happen. This was fixed long ago. Now we use the system locale encoding for filenames. At least, KOI8-R filenames work for me. > Setting G_BROKEN_FILENAME helped here but problems > with german umlauts in sodipodi graphics remain. (I > removed them by editing the svg files manually > before loading them into inkscape). I think I know what you mean. Sodipodi (and early Inkscape) is broken in that it stores the filenames inside the SVG file in sodipodi:docname attribute, but does not recode them from the locale encoding to UTF-8. However everything inside SVG must be in UTF-8 as specified by the XML encoding declaration. Therefore these old files will cause trouble. Simply remove the docname and docbase attributes to make them parse. >3) With sodipodi I have added text elements to a drawing > which used a fixed width font and contained multiple > blanks to form a simple table.

New text objects are created with xml:space="preserve". If this does not work for you, file a bug with example files attached. _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

But inkscape prints > only one blank for any number of blanks in a row. I just tested this: created a file with multiple spaces in text in Sodipodi 0.34 and opened it in Inkscape. Works fine. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

Font size in menus and dialogs and other things
by Mario Streiber 19 May '04

19 May '04

Hi list, I just built and installed inkscape-0.38.1 successfully on my SuSE Linux 8.1 box. After a few initial problems importing graphics created with sodipodi, at the moment the following issues remain: 1) The font size of menus and dialogs is very small. Is there a way of changing it, e.g. to the default size that other GTK apps use? If not (e.g. because it is hardcoded), can someone point me to a location in the code where I can change it? 2) It seems inkscape expects all strings (including file names) to be UTF-8 encoded (although I do not use a UTF-8 locale, but de_DE@...120... Thus file names that contain german umlauts etc. cause trouble. Setting G_BROKEN_FILENAME helped here but problems with german umlauts in sodipodi graphics remain. (I removed them by editing the svg files manually before loading them into inkscape). Is there a way for inkscape to use other than UTF encoding? 3) With sodipodi I have added text elements to a drawing which used a fixed width font and contained multiple blanks to form a simple table. But inkscape prints only one blank for any number of blanks in a row. How can I enter text so that multiple blanks are displayed between two words? Thanks in advance Mario

Please explain in detail how you want this to work, best of all with an example.

Hi all, I am wondering if there is a function to make two objects split into separate objects where they overlap. There is a function in Illustrator to do just that, but I can't seem to find a similar function in Inkscape. Thanks, Lee
