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

Hi Shlomi. Add a copy to original CC, maybe could be interesting to someone. Im using Evolution in a Debian Box in plain text mode. I usualy write whith the default "normal" mode that break links. I hope if I switch to "preformated" mode the links not broken anymore. In the next line i write a link in normal mode and preformated: "normal mode" https://www.google.es/search?q=inkscape&pws=0&hl=es&num=10&gws_rd=ssl#pws=0… +a+libre+and+very+amazing+draw+editor+for+all "preformated mode" https://www.google.es/search?q=inkscape&pws=0&hl=es&num=10&gws_rd=ssl#pws=0… All the best, Jabier.

how to create new filters
by Brynn 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi Friends, For a long time I've been trying to learn how to create new Inkscape filters. I mean starting from scratch, not just building on existing filters. I've been able to do some very simple things, but my efforts usually devolve into one at a time, trying every option available. By sheer chance, I sometimes end up with something that might be useful. It would be so very helpful if someone could write a guide, which explains the basic concepts. I think I've finally managed to work out how the Filters Editor works. But I'm missing the basic concepts which would help me make decisions about 'what to do next'. I have contacted people who I know have created filters, who know how to do it, but without success in finding the info needed. And I thought about adding this to the Community To-Do List page. It's a lot like the need for a guide to writing extensions, I guess. But for some reason, it seems to me like more of a request for a tutorial, and that's not exactly what that page is for (I don't think). Although if it seems to the website team like it's appropriate, I can see to adding it there. But otherwise, I thought I'd just make a request to the user community. Can anyone either volunteer to write such a tutorial? Or otherwise point me (and everyone) to some resources for learning how? Thank you very much :-) brynn

Combining text converts to path
by Brynn 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi Friends, I just stumbled on this and find it surprising. I just want to make sure there's not some reason for this, before I at least consider reporting it (one way or another). If you combine 2 text objects (Path menu > Combine) they become paths! I realize that Combine is a command(?) for paths. (Or at least it's supposed to work on paths, if "command" isn't the correct word.) When I tried it, out of curiosity, I expected to get an error message in the status bar that one or both objects is not a path. So I was surprised that the text was converted to paths. Actually I was hoping it might combine 2 or more text objects into 1 text object. Yes, I know the proper way to do it is cut/paste. But that can be tedious, and I was hoping combine might just do that quickly. (And yes, I thought about grouping, but I didn't want a group. I wanted a text object. Hhmm, after further testing, this must be intentional, because combining 2 or more shapes converts them to path as well. Wow, and using combine on just 1 shape object converts it to a path too. Let's see....yes, using combine on a Group of shapes converts them to a single compound path! I can see where this can be convenient, especially it saves a couple of steps for a group -- if one knows about it. But is it really appropriate? Hhmm, well this is inconsistent then. When combine is used on a group of 2 text objects, it's changed to a compound path, but it's still ID'd as a group of 2. Shouldn't it throw an error in these situations, rather than convert to path? And for the group of text, the "Group of 2" seems incorrect....assuming this whole 'combine converts to path' is intentional in the first place. Thanks for any comments, brynn
