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

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

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

Website access in China - Fix applied
by Martin Owens 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Dear Inkscape Users and Developers, After a lot of backwards and forwards between osuosl and fastly.net we have put in place a solution for our website's access in China. The problem was that our chinese visitors would be able to get the website, but not any of the media (or downloads) because of their great firewall. The solution was a CNAME from media.inkscape.org to fastly and some special dns configuration which I barely understand to solve the issue with access to fastly caches. (I copied and pasted what people said in two tickets and acted as a manual ticket express for the professionals) This solution is now live and I invite people in China to test the website and please report back if they can see any issues. (and also if they would like to translate pages) :-) Best Regards, Martin Owens

erase?
by ToddAndMargo 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi All, Since I am running Scientific Linux 7.2 (RHEL clone), I am probably not running the latest Inkscape: $ rpm -qa inkscape inkscape-0.48.4-15.el7.x86_64 I tried Inkcape out to create a graphics for a tech manual. I managed to find everything I need in DuckDuckGo (Google without the spying). I was impressed. One thing I never figured out (and had to use GIMP) was how to erase a section. All the stuff I found on the web made no sense to me and I couldn't find things. Exactly how to I erase something? (I don't mind over writing with a while brush, as I did in GIMP.) Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi, I'm reviewing the following Adobe Illustrator Logo tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxF7xXt5Oss In it he uses a 3d tool to bend a rectangle around a cylinder. I was wondering if Inkscape has a similar tool / extension? TIA, Ole

by unknown＠example.com 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi everyone, the Inkscape Hackfest in Leeds ended yesterday evening. A summary of the Hackfest activity is available at https://plus.google.com/+inkscape/posts/1xZ5aDyCMU2 Many of the Inkscape developers who attended the Hackfest will also be attending the Libre Graphics Meeting in London (starting tomorrow, see http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/ for more info). There, they will meet up with users, user interface experts and people whose code Inkscape is using (in the form of shared libraries). You can still join them there, it's not too late ;) Thank you all for your support for the Inkscape project, Kind regards, Maren
