Hello again, Sorry, I think I fixed it myself.

Trouble compiling Inkscape on Ubuntu 14.04
by Eelke Spaak 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hello all, Because I had been issues with extremely sluggish text editing in complex SVG files (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1219794?comments=all) I thought I'd get the source code and apply the (very simple) patch provided in that bug thread and compile it myself. I was able to get a working copy of the trunk, and I read the INSTALL file. However, the "./configure" file was not present (even though INSTALL seemed to assume it should be there). I managed to generate the configure-script by running "./autogen.sh" (after installing the required dependencies). When I try to run ./configure, however, it does some stuff, and then gives me an error: ./configure: line 5995: syntax error near unexpected token `2.2' ./configure: line 5995: `LT_PREREQ(2.2)' Checking a bit further back, it actually seems that although the autogen.sh ended with "Done! Please run './configure' now.", there is an error there as well. I am attaching the full output of both autogen.sh and the subsequent call to configure to this email. Hopefully someone can help me to compile Inkscape, so I could apply the patch for mega-slow text editing and get back to designing my poster :) Thank you, best, Eelke Spaak

Inkscape extension: inkscape-placeholders
by Xaviju Julián 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi! I just wanted to share with you an extension I developed that might be useful for some of you, specially for inkscape web designers. Its a extension that has two functionalities: - Create image placeholders in any size and width with random images from unsplash <https://unsplash.it/> - Create random user avatars from uifaces <http://uifaces.com/>. Both plugins and documentation on how to install them are available via github: https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-placeholder I have also written a blog post on how to create inkscape extensions for non developers: https://medium.com/@xaviju/inkscape-extensions-by-non-developers-for-non-de… with what I have learned developing this extensions. Since I am not a python developer myseff it can contain some errors so I will be glad to receive feedback and corrections on how to improve it or PRs to fix any code bugs. Of course, any suggestions or ideas are welcome as well. Regards!

A Cartoon I Created in Inkscape
by Shlomi Fish 04 Oct '15

04 Oct '15

Hi all! You can find a Dungeons & Dragons-themed cartoon (which may be understood by people not versed in it) that I created in Inkscape here: http://www.shlomifish.org/art/d-and-d-cartoon--comparing-lances/ You can find the sources for it in a repository on BitBucket, and the rest of the credits on the page. It may no look too professional, but I'm a far cry from a professional graphics artist. It proved to be quite popular in the D&D subrredit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3mko6w/dd_cartoon_comparing_horse_lan… Regards, Shlomi Fish -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Free (Creative Commons) Music Downloads, Reviews and more - http://jamendo.com/ The Angel of Death cannot keep up with Chuck Norris’s throughput of killing. — http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/bits/facts/Chuck-Norris/ Please reply to list if it's a mailing list post - http://shlom.in/reply .

In my opinion :-) I did end up using both the regular object fills and the paint bucket while temporarily turning some layers off.

Hi, I'd like to get more eyes on this, maybe stir up support.
by Jerry Segers 27 Sep '15

Hi, I had an idea for a feature in inkscape, and I submitted a wishlist bug on 5-17-2014 and noone seems interested. It is a suggestion for a LPE for a spirograph pattern generator. I did some research and found the necessary math info to make the shapes, and the algorithm needed to make the result from the math usable in inkscape. I was thinking it would be great for certificates, and suchlike. Plus I think it would just be great fun to play with. Is anyone else interested? Maybe someone who knows calculus and c++? Anyway, here’s the link if you’re interested. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1320524

Fill "only on one layer"
by Philip Rhoades 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

People, I am trying to create a series of sketches to show changes to roof tressles (I want to create a wide manhole - see start of first sketch attached) but I have run into problems with adding a fill colour (as shading for the beams). It seems like it would be quicker and easier for me if I could get the fill action to fill on ONE layer instead of taking all of the lines for all the of layers into account - but this doesn't appear to work? - is it possible somehow? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil@...2067...
