status bar reports different font/text size
by Brynn 22 Aug '15

22 Aug '15

Hi Friends, I just noticed something that's different in 0.91. I searched for bug reports, but did not find. But now that I'm subscribed to this list, it seems better to report here, than make a bug report, since I often seem to make duplicate reports. When I set some text to be 18, the status bar tells me it's 22.50. Set to 16, status bar says 20, etc. Is it a bug? Or is there a reason? Whatever the reason, the size the user chooses should be shown in the status bar, imo. This is Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, on Windows 7, 64-bit. Also occurs in 0.91, 64-bit. Does not occur in 0.48.5. Thanks for your help :-) brynn

Seamless Pattern extension updated to V0.5
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Hi to all. I just commit the updated extension to trunk. 0.91/0.48 users can get it from here: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/1358/ Improvements: Cleanup and better script for he helper text, thanks to Maren. Cleanup of layer names to easy use it. A transparency checkboard show in the pattern preview to notice about transparency in the pattern. Non unifrorm patterns not deform the default inkscape based pattern. All elements not necesary for make the patter are blocked, so is more easy work on it. All the best, Jabier.

Fixed line width with calligraphy-tool possible?
by Thörty Rochelmeyer 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

G'day, the current setting of the line with with the calligraphy tool is related to the window size, so that line width changes if one zooms in or out on the screen. Is there a way to set a fixed line width that does not change with zoom? I did not find any hints and google did not help either (which might just be me, searching for the wrong terms). Thanks in advance Thorsten

Pantone Color Manager with Inkscape?
by Josh Pittman 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Hi All, I posted this to the InkscapeForum, but was told it would get to the developers better if I posted here. Has anyone ever tried using Pantone Color Manager with Inkscape? From their website: http://www.pantone.com/pantone-color-manager-software PANTONE COLOR MANAGER Software is a robust desktop application that works in tandem with your favorite design software to ensure you always have the most up-to-date set of PANTONE Colors available at your fingertips. Looks like it works with Adobe, QuarkXPress, and Corel. I emailed them on this, and they said if Inkscape can import libraries in Adobe format, it may be possible to save the libraries from PANTONE Color Manager and import them. Seems like a useful tool . . . - Josh

license for icons on website
by Brynn 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Hi Friends, I've been trying to read about licenses, and trying to figure out if I could use the Inkscape_Logo2_1_1.png icon, as a link on my forum (http://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?action=forum) directly to the Download page (https://inkscape.org/en/download/). Inkscape_Logo2_1_1.png is the icon with the big green down arrow, on this page https://inkscape.org/en/download/windows/. But the language with the licenses is hard for me to understand. I guess the Inkscape logo by itself is ok to use, as far as I understand the Inkscape Trademark Policy (https://inkscape.org/en/about/trademark-policy/). But I'm not sure if the download icon on the website might be a different case. (A software could be open source, but it's website *could* still be copyrighted. I'm just not exactly sure about Inkscape's. There's no copyright statement on the website, but like some other things(CoC for gallery comments), maybe it's just not be written yet.) I think I could use the Inkscape logo and add a slightly different green arrow myself. But using the download icon from the website, I'm just not sure about. Would someone clear me up about that, in a not too technical way? Thank you very much, brynn

who makes Inkscape's icons?
by Brynn 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Hi Friends, Mostly out of curiosity, I wonder who makes Inkscape's icons? Is there usually one person who does it? Or does whoever creates tools or features have the honor or responsibility to make the icons? I know that it's possible to use different or custom icon sets, if one either wants to create their own, or they install some that someone else made. But who creates the icons that ship with Inkscape? I guess I'm talking about .../share/icons/icons.svg. Thanks :-) brynn

Problem with Pattern when exporting to PDF or printing
by Peter Schürch 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Dear all We often use patterns to draw soil profiles and well logs to represent soil composition. Since Inkscape 0.91 we have a problem with exporting patterns to pdf and printing. In the printout or pdf the patterns disappear or appear as black areas. The patterns were defined with the previous version of inkscape. Question: is this problem known? I can provide a sample file if needed. Thanks for your very much appreciated help! regards Peter Schürch -- Meier und Partner AG Freiestrasse 26<x-apple-data-detectors://1/0> 8570 Weinfelden<x-apple-data-detectors://1/0> www.meierpartner.ch<http://www.meierpartner.ch/> T +41 71 626 5115<tel:+41%2071%20626%205115>

unexpected scaling behavior 0.91 - bug?
by Brynn 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Hi Friends, I'm trying to help someone at IF (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19208) and came across some unexpected, and new behavior in 0.91. I've never seen this before. Steps to reproduce: -- in a new blank doc, draw a Star with 6 corners, spoke ration 0.5, rounded 0.3, randomize 0.09 -- add fill, remove stroke -- engage the scale in proportion option (lock the lock icon on the Selection control bar) -- change the W value -- Enter (or click in another field or on the canvas) -- W value changes to something different than what you entered I haven't been able to observe this when the lock icon is unlocked (scaling not in proportion). Also, while testing in the same doc, this behavior eventually stops. But in 4 new blank docs, with that kind of Star shape, this behavior has been consistent. Attached is a file that is showing the behavior for the star shapes only. Although without know what's causing it may or may not happen for anyone else. This is 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer, Win7, 64-bit. I thought it might be somehow related to the randomize setting, but after creating some new and different kinds of objects, and testing them, when I come back to the original star, the scaling behaves as expected. So it's clearly an inconsistent issue, and so far, I haven't discovered what's triggering it to start or stop. To test if it might be related to transform attribute (related to my custom default doc) I've tried in new layers. But the problem persists in the new layers. Thanks for your help :-) All best, brynn
