Inkscape and frontline
by Artemio 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hello! At inkscape.org I read: "...If you want to have tracing option, yo have to install both Autotrace and Frontline before compiling Inkscape. Inkscape automatically detects these programs, and adds inline raster to vector conversion option to image menu." I have just compiled and installed autotrace and frontline, they both work fine. I have compiled today's CVS snapshot of inkscape (it is DAMN cool, by the way, you guys ROCK!!!), but I can't see any "inline raster to vector conversion option to image menu". Please tell me what to do :-( Thanks and good luck! Artemio. -- http://artemio.net/exp ::: Artemio's hot sound tweaks [local time 20:07:57 (GMT +3) 28 March 2004] [system uptime 47 min]

Re: [Inkscape-devel] inkscape interface icons (please good reading and reasoning required)

Sorry I missed the whole icons thread, but I've been dealing with family things the past couple weeks... I'm back now though. Both you and Jon have raised good points. I think it makes sense to use SVG files as icons in the same way as PNGs or XPMs or whatever other formats we also support for icons. To my mind though, having a single icons.svg is not a bad thing either, and for right now there are indeed performance reasons to do so. For the immediate future I think the standard icons should ship in icons.svg. But we should offer a range of options for third-party icon sets. Probably we should support at least: * #icon-name-goes-here in an SVG file * icon-name-goes-here.{svg,png,xpm} or whatever in a directory * icon-name-goes-here.{svg,png,xpm} etc in a .jar file Also I think we should take better advantage of the standard Gtk icon themeing facilities. Regardless, right now I have my hands full with the AST code and other projects so I can't implement it myself. If someone wants to come forward with a more detailed design proposal for this (and maybe some patches?) they are strongly encouraged to do so. -mental

(I am new to this newsgroup type effort).? Suggestions are always welcome but it if much more helpful if you are not overly critical (constructive criticism!) and make a resonable aeffort to see if it has not already been suggested in the RFE (Request for Enhancement) pages on Sourceforge. At the moment none of the developers are getting paid to work on Inkscape so it is important not to expect too much too soon but they are an enthusiastic team and are eager to make the best Vector Graphics software they can. If the developers like your idea then they will probably ask you to add a report/RFE to the sourceforge project pages http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93438&atid=604309 > I use illustrator on a daily basis, as I work in a design firm. I'm sure your feedback would be much appreciated. I have been trying to look at Adobe Illustrator CS but as I only have a trial edition I cannot do that for very long. > but yes, it seems like it is comming along quite nicely, I also like the > idea of extentions, that seems to have worked out well with firefox. I'm hoping that the extensions/plugin system will grow to support existing Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop plugins in the long term. In the shorter term I'm hoping that Inkscape can make use of some of the features of programs like Dia and Sketch which have support for a wider variety of file formats. I brought this offlist, you dont mind if I bring it back onlist? Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/
