The guides... extension script has been updated. This is probably the final update for the foreseeable future. However, a development version which includes a feature for adding guide labels is available. Drop me an e-mail request if you would like to receive a copy. Please extract and see the readMe file from the zip download for full details about this update, and the development version. -u

I have an interesting use case senario for Inkscape. I like to be able to print/display text from a specific field from the embeded EXIF data in an image.Has anyone ever done something like this, how did you achieve it?

I note that Inkscape fails to render guide colours when set via SVG editor. Would someone have a try, edit a sodipodi: guide color attribute value, and confirm if it is just me with this issue. Thanks. -u

Hi to all. Here is my last video about meassuring items. Any way measure still works as usual, this is a plus on hover. I think his target is 0.93 because introduce some strings. Dont mark to merge because this last thing. I couldent put the music I want to this video, anyway undertones is the best substitute. R&R.

Web Chat Review
by Martin Owens 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Dear Users and Developers, I've put together an integrated tutorial for the irc chat on inkscape.org and I'd like a few users and support contributors to give it a review: https://inkscape.org/en/*users/chat/ You should see a few things are different now: * You must be logged in to use the chat, previously you could be anonymous. You even must have an email configured, so facebook and twitter logins must update their user profile before chatting. * There is the above guide which add the can_irc permission to a user's account. Confirming they've seen every page (I shorted it to 4 pages). * There's a new IRC bot that offers these new commands: - webbot: whois [username] ; will tell you who a user is and a link to their website profile, in case someone joins the chat asks a question and then leaves without waiting. - webbot: tell [username] [msg] ; will send an alert to the user with a possible response. The default for website message alerts is to email them too. So you can respond to someone who just left. - Get Latest Art ; a bit of fun to return the latest item in the Artwork category on the live site. Returns the link. - If you want further integrations between irc and the website, this is now possible. (maybe good for meetings in the future) I'm hoping these tools will allow users to feel comfortable chatting with us and also provision support contributors with what they need when in chat. The exact text of the above tutorial is up for review here. Please let me know your suggestions by email on list. Thanks everyone! Best Regards, Martin Owens

Difference difference
by Brynn 30 May '16

Hi Friends, It seems like I should know the answer to this. But I don't recall hearing about it. Starting with these 2 rings, which have fill and no stroke: http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/diff1.png I duplicate both, and then Difference. At 100% zoom they look ok. But zoom in (in this case, all the way, for best view) and you can see that the Difference wasn't correct. http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/diff2.png It's not a huge amount, but I would expect there shouldn't be any difference at all. This on Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer. Is that a bug? Or is there some reason it's expected not to be precise? Thanks for your help :-) brynn
