Zoom like Krita
by Diego Duarte 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

Is it possible to use the zoom tool like krita does? Let me explain: If you hold control + middle mouse button/middle button on the pen it's possible to zoom in and out by moving the mouse or pen. This also work for rotating the page, but instead of control you hold shift + middle button. Does this functionality exists hidden in the preferences menu or those tools would need a total rewrite to be able to do this? Sorry if this is not the right place to ask/suggest this, this is my first post -- Diego Duarte duartqx(a)gmail.com Digital Illustrator

I need to convert *.eps files to *.pdf, and I used Inkscape to do it.
by Freddy Fisker 02 Jun '22

02 Jun '22

Inkscape can make a margin around *.eps pictures when I need to convert them to *.pdf, but after upgrade to version 1.2 of Inkscape an error appear when I try to open the *.eps files. First a small window is asking: "Determine page orientation from text direction" No matter the reply (Disabled, Page by page or All) the next window is writing: "Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected." - Followed by a list of errors. The only option is to press "OK" and no more happens. I am running Inkscape on OpenBSD 7.1 on a RaspberryPi 4 (8GB version). Best regards Freddy Fisker

Hi Everyone, This is a follow up to share the recorded link from last week's leadership committee video meeting: https://digimedia1.r2.enst.fr/playback/presentation/2.3/80b082be7c60e7a1fd9… This was a no decisions meeting. There's no need to watch unless you're interested in a bunch of people thinking and talking. This discussion was really interesting, and varied. Covering people's thoughts on what is Inkscape is as a project, how we paying people changes things, how we go about asking volunteers, what this means for our sense of identity. What the SFC thinks of corperate involvement, of project different structures etc (big thanks to pono and Karen for attenting from the SFC). The video doesn't have a way of continuing any of the discussion on, so if you do want to talk abou the issues, please do add context to which part you'd like to add to. Best Regards, Martin Owens Inkscape Leadership Committee
