New Donate Link Graphics
by Martin Owens 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Dear all, Thanks to Golden Ribbon (inkscape user and maker of recently good tutorials) he's provided to us some graphics for encouraging more donations through affiliate links. They look really nice too. I've just finished adding them to the English page on the website. If you go to https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/donate/ you will see the new images and the copy-paste html if you want to add a link to your own website to support inkscape. Golden Ribbon is also interested in making t-shirts and other mechanise; we don't yet have anyone (I know of) who is skilled or interested in looking into merchandise, but maybe if we had some nice designs someone would step forwards to add this feature. What are your thoughts? Best Regards, Martin Owens

I also selfishly want some inkscape branded things. A cup of tea and a t-shirt with inkscape's logo on it ;-) Martin,

Crash
by Eneko Gotzon 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

Hi all. My Inkscape copy crashed but I don't know how or why because I'm an absolute beginner. A crash report <https://drive.google.com/a/donostiadomremy.com/file/d/0B65Ce2KL-t2pcWZUNklr…> was saved. Maybe you can help me deciding if it is a bug and if so it is already filed. Thank you. -- Eneko Gotzon Ares enekogotzon@...155...

15 Feb '16

Just an absolute newbie running Inkscape 0.48.2 in a well working, really beautiful, vintage declared but loved computer (2.1 GHz PowerPC G5 & Mac OS X.5.8). To get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library*, it is needed to be registered at the openclipart.org site and fill up the user account data in the Inkscape Preferences**? * File > Import from Open Clip... ** Import/Export > Open Clip Art Library Username & Password. Thank you. -- Eneko Gotzon Ares

Meassure improvements, Speed and Phantom mode
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hi to all. A just commit a new feature in meassure tool, allowing compare two measures, creating greyed version of current meassure in a temporary way. Based in a comment on original code I could improve the response of the tool. Also want to make numeric inputs for start and end point, thinking add it as a modifier for the knots instead puting them on the toolbar. Here a video: http://jabiertxof.marker.es/2016/02/meassure-tool-phantom -and-speed.html Cheers, Jabier.

Export areas to a PDF from the command line?
by Søren Hauberg 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

Hi All, I use Inkscape in conjunction with the Sozi extension to create slides, and I'm fairly happy with this setup. However, my student often request the slides in PDF format. Sozi works with me drawing rectangles which are then marked to become individual slides. I have created a home-brewed python script that locates these rectangles, and I then run inkscape -f myslides.svg --export-id=rect_id --export-dpi=300 --export-png=rect_id.png from the command line for each identified rectangle. This gives me a png file for each slide, which I can then join in a PDF that I can distribute to my students. The problem with this approach is that I export each slide to a PNG, which is really sad because then everything is rasterized. I'd much rather export each slide to a PDF, but I cannot seem to make that work from the command line. Does anybody have a trick I can apply? Thanks Søren

"sharing gradients" include stops?
by Brynn 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Hi Friends, I'm just working in gradients....well really for the first time since 0.91. And I'm not sure if I'm seeing a problem, or if I just don't understand something. I've searched LP, but I sometimes I don't understand the info in the reports. Plus, my search skills aren't that great either. I have Prevent Sharing Gradients checked in Inkscape Preferences. Steps to reproduce: -- draw a rectangle -- apply flat color -- click F/S dialog > Fill tab > Linear gradient -- switch to Gradient tool -- adjust beginning and ending stops' positions, color and/or opacity -- duplicate the rectangle -- add extra stops to the gradient in the duplicate rectangle -- switch back to Selection tool to move it over and notice that the F/S shows 2 of the same gradient -- switch back to Gradient tool, select the original rectangle and notice that stops were also added to that gradient I've repeated the steps around 10 times. Twice, a 2nd gradient was created. But all the other times, stops were added to the gradient in the original rectangle, and the F/S dialog showed 2 of the same gradient (as if it was shared gradient). I don't know why it works differently sometimes. I'm also not sure if stops being added to the gradient in the original rectangle makes it a "shared definition". I think it does. To me, the moment the rectangle is duplicated, and 2nd gradient should show up in the F/S dialog. I've attached a test file, where I've repeated the steps at least 8 times (although only the result of the last test is showing there) (the other tests were in a different file). Every single time I take the next step, which is to apply a color/opacity to one of the new stops in the gradient in the duplicated rectangle, the seemingly shared gradient splits into 2. So eventually it gets to the correct place. But I think it should get there the moment the object with the gradient is duplicated. Is there some reason why it shouldn't? This is happening on Windows 7, 64-bit; Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer. And I'll test in 0.91, 64-bit.... Yes, I have the same result in 64-bit, which was 7z version. I could also test in 0.48.5. Oh, and I just downloaded a dev version for another problem. I'll try there.... Yes, same thing there too, which is Inkscape-14574.7z which 0.91.1, 64-bit for Windows. Is this already reported? Or is there some reason why this is correct behavior? Thank you very much :-) brynn
