extension grid crashing (make bug report?)
by Brynn 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Hi Friends, I'm trying to use Extensions menu > Render > Grids > Isometric, but it keeps crashing Inkscape. It's always when I'm using the Live Preview. Sometimes it crashes when I uncheck the preview (which I think might be a known bug for many extensions). But it's crashing otherwise as well. When I try to adjust the the variables, while Live Preview is on, usually the crash happens while I'm trying to change the 3rd value. Error messages : First there's that one that's something about Runtime and some "unusual way". Then it's the message box that shows where the backup was saved. I've searched LP for existing reports, but didn't find anything. But because I don't usually have very good luck with searching, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a report about this. Otherwise, I guess I should make one? This is on Windows 7, 64-bit and Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer. I suspect it probably also happens in the 64-bit version. I'll test it right after post this. It's happening in brand new blank files, with nothing else but the preview, on the canvas. If it's not already reported, is there any other kind of documentation I should provide? Thank you very much, brynn PS - Oh, interesting! Doesn't seem to be happening in the 64-bit version! TA :-)

Why does Inkscape require dbus?
by Steve Litt 16 Jun '16

Hi all, I just found out Inkscape has a dependency on dbus, and as a guy trying to minimize dbus use and eventually kick it off my computer, I have to ask why it's needed by Inkscape. Inkscape is a translator back and forth between an enhanced SVG XML and a hand drawing. What need is there for dbus?

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
