Hi again, the Inkscape developers have published a summary of their work on Hackfest Day 2 in Leeds here: https://plus.google.com/+inkscape/posts/ENoe5dPEYNe If you're curious how this translates into code, just take a look at the long list of new commits to the Inkscape development branch made since the Hackfest started (the commit messages may seem cryptic, but the shear amount should tell you something about how hard they're working!): http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/changes If you haven't yet, you might want to support their efforts and future hackfests by making a donation: https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/hackfest-2016/ Kind regards, Maren

about spam?
by Brynn 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi Friends, I was just looking at a message that looks like it was sent to 3 Inkscape mailing lists. But it looks quite spammish. I'm just curious how spam in the list is handled. It *could* be spam only for me, that was made to look like it's from the Inkscape lists, to fool me. I don't know much about mail headers and such, but it does look like it was sent to the lists, to me. I won't say exactly which message, in case it's not spam. But how is spam kept out of a mailing list? Thanks, brynn

screen shot?
by ToddAndMargo 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Hi All, $ rpm -qa inkscape inkscape-0.48.4-15.el7.x86_64 I take it there is no "screen shot" utility built into Inkscape. Just use GIMP? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAP distortion
by Brynn 11 Apr '16

11 Apr '16

Hi Friends, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this. But I'm hoping someone might know some trick that I haven't heard (or maybe heard but forgot). Using Pattern Along Path LPE, where there's a sharp corner or tight curve, the pattern becomes distorted. Please see screenshot http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/PAPdistort.png. I've corrected some of it by adding nodes near the sharp points. See http://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/ss/PAPdistort1.png. Is the only solution to convert the PAP to path, and manually delete the misshaped circles, then replace with individual circles, at or around the points? Thanks for your help :-) brynn

New extension: isometric projection converter
by Jeroen Hoek 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Hello, I have created an extension for Inkscape that transforms a flat two-dimensional object to one of the three visible sides of an isometric projection: https://github.com/jdhoek/inkscape-isometric-projection I was drawing some woodworking plans using an isometric grid, and wanted a way to transform an object drawn in 2D to the top, left-hand side, or right-hand side of an isometric projection. Learned a bit about affine transformations along the way too. The utility methods in simpletransform.py where really useful! Thanks for providing these. Should I add this extension to the list at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Extension_repository ? -- Kind regards, Jeroen Hoek GPG: 44D4 1D39 535A 1F9A 9509 92C5 A7A8 B913 D40D D022

support for gcode extensions
by Brynn 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi Friends, I provide support for Inkscape daily, in bb style forums or occassionally in LP Answers. A couple of things are missing across the community. 1 - tutorials for using gcode tools, and 2 - support for questions and problems with those extensions. I know that the extensions all reference a single, 30-page topic in a Russian forum, as a place to get support. But we still are getting questions posted in other forums, that we just can't answer. Is there any other place where people can find support? Thanks, brynn

Guillotine, but to svg?
by Tom Lechner 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Is there an easy way to chop up an svg, like with the guillotine extension, but export to svg files, not png? If a path object spans multiple sections, only the sub-paths within the section should be included in the output. -Tom tomlechner.com laidout.org
