Thanks. Figured it out last night On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 12:11 PM, Chris Tooley wrote: Ah, what you want is "Difference" - sorry, I should have said that from the start :) Also, make sure to select the object you want to remove from the other last. i.e. if you are making a hole in the larger object make sure to select the large path first, then the "hole" path, and then select Path>Difference.

Hi, I am new to Inkscape, and following some nice tutorials on the web.. I am trying to so something basic (I think) and i can't figure out how to do it. What I want is a square, and want it all merged as 1 image and have the inside cut out / transparant. Here is an example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/icabyjmvrs0nv06/example.png?dl=0 I want to make all the seperate parts all into 1 images, and the black part I want that to be transparant. Is it possible? If so how? Thank you for your time Perry

Inviting you to LGM and Inkscape Hackfest in Toronto
by Bryce Harrington 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hi all, I would like to invite you all to join me in attending the Libre Graphics Meeting in Toronto! It is held April 29 to May 2 at the University of Toronto. Inkscape will also be hosting a Hackfest the three days prior to this event, April 26-28. If you've done any development on Inkscape, and wish to help us plan our future, then definitely please come! ~=> Please let me know ASAP if you can attend! <=~ We have sponsorship available on a limited basis to Inkscape contributors, first come first served, so make sure to RSVP with me quickly. Our community has been coming together with donations specifically to enable developer attendance. We've got $10,000 set aside for this event, and with this hope to assemble 10-12 developers there. Maybe more depending on how the fundraising goes! Speaking of fundraising, please help us spread the word that our project needs more cash donations for this event. Point folks here for details: https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/hackfest/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * The Libre Graphics Meeting is the major event of the year for FOSS graphics application developers and users. I've only been once myself, but Inkscape has attended many times. It's a great way to network with our peer projects, share ideas, and get inspired. * The Inkscape Hackfest is new this year. It's rare for us to have dedicated time face-to-face to work on Inkscape. We're going to use this valuable time to design some major new features and to plan out a roadmap that will take us to 1.0. Other topics I hope we can work on include designing a new extension system, re-thinking our UI design, improving our pdf/printing capabilities, and all the other things listed as 'Future' on our current roadmap page. Personally, I'm hoping to experiment with running Inkscape with cairo-gl, and test getting Inkscape running as a Wayland client. * Are you located in Toronto and available to help Inkscape? We're looking for someone who can assist with local logistics. Please contact me and let me know your availability. * Sponsorship amounts will vary according to your history with the project. We definitely want everyone but in particular we're hoping to encourage high volume, long term contributors, so will try and skew sponsorship their way. So if you're a long term contributor, you really need to come! Bryce

Regarding Inkscape in Indian languages
by chandrakant dhutadmal 24 Feb '15

Hi All. We have submitted requests for bringing out localized Inkscape for Indian languages through various bugs filed. List of all such bugs filed can be looked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/~cpdhutadmal. We have also submitted translations for those languages. Would like to know from the community if we have considered making builds for Indic languages. If so, when are we going to do it. If not, can we have a discussions surrounding the topic ?

Symbols functionality in 0.91
by Kjell Lindbo 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Hi! Seems I'm lacking the editing functionality for symbols in 0.91 (windows 64 bit) According to: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SymbolsDialog , there should be a menu item object => symbol to group and object -> group to symbol....... Was it left out in 0.91, or is it hiding in the menus somewhere , have you found it ?? Regards Kjell L.

Version 0.91 Frequent crashes
by Steve 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Let me make clearer how I reproduce this. This is one repeatable method: 1) Launch Inkscape 0.91 to a blank page. 2) Open a drawing I had already created. 3) Paste an image onto the page. In my case, I copied an image our of a web page viewed in Firefox. 4) Observe crash. Alternately 1) Launch Inkscape 0.91 to a blank page. 2) Paste an image onto the blank page. In my case, I copied an image our of a web page viewed in Firefox. 3) Open a pre-existing drawing. 4) Observe crash. Cheers, Steve
