Hello, I’m running inkscape 0.91 with XQuartz 2.7.9 on mac OS X 10.11.4 I’m having a problem. When I create a new document, I select a shape like ellipse, I draw but nothing appears on the screen, the shape won’t draw. The outline is by default, black on white. Can anyone tell me what’s going on ? Thanks ! Rodolphe.

custom grids ("outside the box")
by Brynn 19 May '16

19 May '16

Hi Friends, I have a couple of questions about custom grids. I'm more or less familiar with the various extensions, and the 2 regular grids (rectangular and axonomic/isometric). But I was thinking about a couple of....well, probably silly things....but very unusual grids. One thing I want is the axomonic grid, but rotated around....I think would be 30 degrees, so that if you use it to draw a hexagon, the 2 vertical sides are horizontal. And the tiny triangles point up and down instead of side to side. Or a rectangular grid rotated 45 degrees. So instead of tiny squares, it's tiny diamonds. And the other thing I was wondering. Would it be possible, somehow using Guides, to make a grid like that, or even with a star shape? For example, see http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/sg.png. There I made 3 stars, centered on the same spot, each 50 px larger (or smaller). Then I used Object to Guides. But this would be a tedious process, to say the least, to make a page-size grid. Plus, for the star shape, it makes 2 guides for each of the 5 sides. I understand why, it's just that makes it even more work, to deal with the extra ones....if you were actually considering doing it with guides. Questions: 1 - Would making, let's say an a4 page-size grid, using guides, start to create performance issues, like it would if you used paths? 2 - Otherwise, would making this kind of grid require an extension, or other coding? 3 - Or is there any other way to get an unusual grid like these examples? I mean, a grid that can be snapped to. I realize I could get a photo or other image of a grid and import it. But it wouldn't be snappable. Thank you very much :-) brynn

ImageMagick vulnerability
by Brynn 10 May '16

10 May '16

Hi Friends, I know Inkscape does not use or depend on ImageMagick. But a lot of graphics or graphics-related apps do use it. So just in case anyone hasn't heard about this, I wanted to share. http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/05/easily-exploited-bug-exposes-huge-n… I don't think the Inkscape website gallery uses IM, does it? (I learned about it because I use a Coppermine gallery on Inkscape Community, and CPG uses IM.) All best, brynn

combine paths within a group
by Brynn 02 May '16

02 May '16

Hi Friends, I needed to add some new paths to existing paths which were in a group. And I hate nested groups. So rather than group the new path with the original group, I decided to combine the new paths with one of the paths inside the group. And I found that combining the new paths to the paths inside the group, removed the new compound path from the group. Should that happen? Steps: 1 -- create 3 paths (or create 1 and duplicate twice) 2 -- place the 3 paths side by side (with or without space between) 3 -- group those 3 paths 4 -- draw a new path 5 -- drag it over beside the left path 6 -- with the Node tool, select the left path and the new path 7 -- Path menu > Combine 8 -- deselect all 9 -- switch to Selection tool and select the group Notice that the original Group of 3 is now a Group of 2. The newly created compound path has been ejected from the Group. The same thing happens if you enter the group before combining. Should that happen? I don't know why Inkscape should assume that I don't want this new path in the group anymore. I can't say for a fact that this is different behavior than in the past. But it seems like it is. If this is expected, why? If not, this is on Windows 7, 64-bit, sp1, with Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (exe installer) and 64-bit (7z version). Should be reported? Thank you very much :-) brynn

erase
by Joanne Rancourt 29 Apr '16

I have a logo that I created in 2010 when I was confortable using inkscape. I have not used it for a while but would like to delete the date on it and keep the rest. A lovely user of this forum did it for me once but do you think I can find the file ? of course not, lol. Is there any way I can just use a shape, circle perhaps, in white and lay it over the date so it will not show ? I could then save it as a jpg rather than a png and use it. thanks for any advice,Joanne

Inkscape Hackfest News
by Martin Owens 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Inkscapistas, Sorry for the delay everyone, but the news is ready to be published: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2016/04/16/what-happened-hackfest-2016/ You may share the link around. Click on photos, especially the one with all hackers which is actually an embeded svg with hover css. There's still some issues with the CSS on these news pages and the manual process of including images wasn't great. But I wanted to get this news article out before our next hackfest ;-) If anyone would like to clean up the css, I'll be happy to take a patch. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Filters -> Color -> Greyscale default values
by Sophoklis Goumas 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Hello. I've messed a little bit with Inkscape's: Filters -> Color -> Greyscale values and now I'm looking for the default ones. Would anyone care to share them, please? And, shouldn't there be a button to RESET those values to the default ones, what do you think? Thanks in advance, Sophoklis
