In Inkscape 0.91 on Windows 7, there is a facility to select "superscript toggle" but it does not toggle - clicking again gives what looks like superscript of superscript. Regards John Sampson

New video three features.
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Hi, here are my last video. Is a kind of showcase of three features: * Eraser tool with no width now in trunk. * Randomize color extension now with a limit slider, also in trunk. * Optional auto fill Delaunay triangles with color and thin stroke in the same color. The code of this are in this bug:https://bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/+bug/1553497 Anyway, there is better/faster ways to make Delaunay based in a image. So this is just a example. http://jabiertxof.marker.es/2016/03/no-width-eraser-mode-limit-random.h tml Cheers, Jabier.

Unicode mode
by John Sampson 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hello - I am new to Inkscape. I am trying to enter a Unicode character into text. While text is selected I press ctrl-U but this terminates the text rather than going into Unicode mode. Has the function of ctrl-U been changed in current versions of Inkscape?

0.91: Export to png not working
by Lars Behrens 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi there, in Inkscape 0.91 in Xubuntu 14.04, directly exporting to png (Shift+Ctl+E) doesn't give any reaction. Exporting via "Save as" does work though. Can someone confirm that? Cheerz, Lars

I am sorry when I have raised the issue of CMYK vs. RGB in the wrong thread, but since I am targeted by the issue anew, I would like to know where do we stand and whether it is possible and how to drill the PDF with correct color codes? Thanks for any answer! Bernhard

Windows 10: Menu commands of Inkscape do not appear
by Andreas Borutta 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Hello. I installed the latest version of Inkscape on Windows 10. Three effects I recognize: 1 Inkscape needs extremly long to start (about 15 seconds), much longer than every other application (about 1-2 seconds) on my PC with an SSD. 2 When I click any entry in the menu toolbar, an empty rectangle appears. Not any command is visible. 3 When I hover over any symbol in the vertical toolbar as well an empty rectangle appears. How can I solve the problem please? Thanks.

by Martin Owens 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Dear users and developers, Inkscape has been invited to take part in the Free Software design day known as SpinachCon which happens the day before LibrePlanet here in Boston: https://libreplanet.org/2016/ The SpinachCon event is about working with users on finding odd, weird and slightly ugly things within inkscape that we can fix or make designs about. If you are in the area and wish to take part it's March 18th 2016, from 12:00-5:00pm, in Boston at Beaucoop's offices (near South Station on the Red Line) I'll report in a new article any findings or fixes after the event. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Create a SVG chart from Excel/Libreoffice Calc data sheet?
by Andreas Borutta 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

Hello. I work for a free and non commercial bicycle magazin and we often publish scientific articles. They contain data sheets and charts. Until know we publish the charts as a PNG. The quality is low and as every bitmap graphic it doesn't scale well. Is there a tool which allows to create a chart from an Excel (or Libreoffice Calc) data sheet as an SVG? Of course the code of the SVG should be of high quality. Text should be text. Basic shapes (circles, rectangles, etc.) shouldn't be realised as a path etc. Thanks. Andreas

Re: [Inkscape-user] Website Design
by Martin Owens 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Yesterday Mc- brought up a design for the inkscape website which got a few approval nods from various attending people: https://yadi.sk/i/CfqypzmvpPbay I contacted the designer at the time and just heard back. So what we have here is a psd of a single page that flows downwards. I expect it to assume a standard set of css frameworks such as bootstrap or similar. I also know that Hinerangi has some designs waiting in the wings for the website and that we've stalled on moving more improvements in. I'm interested in hearing wider feedback from the community since I've been under the impression that the website's design has been fairly serviceable. A replacement would be a fair amount of work and at the moment I'm only committed to making sure the technical integration of any proposed design goes ahead without any barriers. What do you think we should do? Best Regards, Martin Owens
