Perspective/Envelope LPE is clone-like
by Brynn 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi Friends, I'm usinig the Perspective/Envelope LPE (in 0.92pre2 for about screen contest). I duplicated an object which I applied it to, and set it aside, because I wanted to test a certain edit, but not lose the original. However, when I edit the duplicate, the original is edited too, as if it were a clone. Should that be happening? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, brynn

canvas display vs other viewers (0.92pre2 ?)
by Brynn 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi Friends, Sorry for all the messages today. Even if I'm not much of an artist, just using this dev version for the contest, allows me to have a personal experience with all the various toys and issues. So I can be ready to help to answer questions from other users. I was having a little bit of a problem using a filter, and never did figure out why it looks differently on a larger object than on a smaller one. Eventually I just tweaked the filter on the larger one. But then I made a PNG export, and the filter looks much better through the Windows Photo Viewer (Windows 7). Compare http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/f1.png with http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/f2.png The first one is what I see in Inkscape. First, notice in the smaller object where the filter looks a little better than on the larger one. (I mean the lavendar colored strokes with Raised Border filter). But mainly I'm curious about the difference between the Inkscape canvas and the Windows Viewer. See in the 2nd one, the filters are displayed in a much nicer way, at least imo. So I know that different viewers have different abilities and support different features. But it seems to me like Inkscape should be having the most ideal display. What can the reason for this be? I have not noticed this much of a difference in previous versions. Ooohh -- I just learned from a previous question about the dpi being different in 0.92. Could that explain this different display? Is there some other place besides Export PNG, where I need to change the dpi? Something in Inkscape Prefs maybe? Thanks for your help :-) brynn

contest deadline
by Brynn 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi Friends, Nov 13th is the date being circulated as the deadline for the About Screen Contest. For some reason, I thought it was the 8th. I'm thinking it would be good to have the deadline date mentioned on the instructions page. And I would do it myself, except I'm not 100% positive that it's the 13th. If we can confirm the date, I'll add it to the page :-) Thanks, brynn

export area vs image size (0.92pre2)
by Brynn 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hi Friends, In 0.92pre2, when using Export PNG, I set it up for Export Area = Page. But the Image Size is different, even when the dpi is 90.00. The page size is 750 x 625, but the image size is 703 x 586 at 90 dpi. Here's a screenshot: http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/exppng.png Has there been some change with the dpi? Or should I make a bug report? I looked through the Release Notes, and could have overlooked or didn't understand something. But didn't see an answer there. Thanks, brynn

pasting paths into 0.92 becomes rasterized
by Brynn 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi Friends, I'm trying to paste the vector Inkscape logo from this file: https://inkscape.org/en/~inkscape/%E2%98%85inkscape-official-logo-vector into 0.92pre2, but it's becoming rasterized. At first I thought it might be because the file I'm working on might be getting big. But even in a new blank file in 0.92, it becomes rasterized. I've tried countless times. It pastes the Group of 28 normally as expected into 0.91 stable. Windows 7, sp1, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92pre2, exe installer, 32-bit version. Inkscape 0.92pre2 15127 Anything I can provide for troubleshooting, let me know :-) Thanks, brynn

Er, moving servers. I'll get you a recent copy if no one added it to the official Inkscape repos.

towards a less confusing/congested Objects dialog (auto-expanding layers/groups, hide HL column)
by Brynn 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Hi Friends, I'm just having my first look at the new Objects dialog in 0.92pre2(beta) on Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1 (exe installer). I was about to submit a wishlist item on Launchpad, but I think it might be more useful to have more of a discussion, because there's a good chance I don't understand all the issues. First, thanks developers for this awesome feature. For the most part, I LOVE it!! I notice that whenever I select an object, (when the Objects dialog is open), the layer where the object resides is expanded, whether I want to edit the object or not. If the selected object is a group, the group is expanded as well. So just looking around the canvas at a couple of objects, the dialog is already scrolling. I find it quite confusing with everything expanded. And this is still a relatively small file, with 4 layers and 25 to 30 objects. Of course I realize the purpose of this new dialog is to help make things less confusing. But I just mean the visual appearance is confusing. I can understand how this automatic expanding of layers can be helpful. But how can Inkscape know why I've selected an object? For example, when I'm helping someone in the forum, I'm not planning to edit the file at all - just look at it. I wonder if it would work to make the automatic expanding optional (in Inkscape Prefs)? Or, I wonder if there would be any way to make it so that whenever you select an object in a different layer from the last selected object, the layer of the last selected object is collapsed, and the layer of the new selected object is expanded. Could that work? Different from expanding layers, I see the HL column, with all those tiny red color chips represent the highlight color for the path outline. If the user has disabled the path outline, could this column be hidden? Thanks for comments :-) brynn
