The tool cursor now has an annoying box with the word intersection in it almost obscuring the cursor itself. How can I remove it? Bob Dering Sent from my iPad

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

building a team of Inkscape forum representatives
by Brynn 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Hi Friends, I want to create a small team made up of representatives from all the Inkscape forums which are listed on the Community page of the website. (https://inkscape.org/en/community/) This could be useful for making certain announcements to a broader community of Inkscape users, only a fraction of which are even aware of the mailing lists. For example, it would be nice to have a message posted in all the forums, linking to the recent news items about the need for donations for Hackfest. (https://inkscape.org/en/news/2015/02/11/inkscape-developers-need-your-help/). For another example, to announce a world-wide drawing competition, perhaps such as the About Screen contest, or others which may be created in the future. In the past, since I only understand English, I've run into problems trying to figure out who the admins are, for the non-English forums, and problems communicating, even if I can identify the admins. But that was before I joined this user list. And so now, maybe I can reach out on this mailing list, and begin to build this team. It would involve very little efforts or time/energy, on the part of these volunteers. Such representatives would receive very occasional emails from me, with the links and info that needs to be posted. We just need 1 person from each of the forums listed below, who would be willing to receive these email messages, and post the info in new topics on the appropriate board of their forum. It doesn't have to be the admin of the forum (but it could be). Any registered member who is allowed to post messages could do the job. InkscapeForum.com - I can post here myself Inkscape Community - same here InkscapeForum.de (German forum) - we already have a volunteer for this forum Inkscapeforum.it (Italian forum) Open Draw Community (another German forum) LinuxGraphic.org's Inkscape board (French forum) Russian Inkscape forum (Russian) Inkscape Google Plus Community (https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117926126525789007045) Just reply to this mail with your name and contact info. If you don't want to announce your address on the mailing list, just send the reply to me directly. And by the way, I know there are more Inkscape forums in existence, which are not listed on the Community page. I'd be very happy to add them to the list, if the admins of those forums would like to be listed. Just reply to this message, to let me know. Thanks for your help :-)

Version 0.91 Frequent crashes
by Steve 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi folks, I wonder if anyone else is seeing frequent crashes with this new version? I don't see any remarks to this effect in this forum and a quick look at the Inkscape Launchpad doesn't reveal anything to me. I'm running Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on Windows x64 and when I paste an image into an Inkscape page, the application crashes. Every time. I plan to uninstall and reinstall. Maybe try the win32 version of the application. If nothing helps, I'll go back to the prior release which was rock stable for me. Cheers, Steve

by Susan Spencer 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi Inkscape devs and users, At various times Valentina <http://www.valentina-project.org> patternmaking software and it's predecessor projects have reached out to the Inkscape community with questions, and you have responded graciously with supportive answers and suggestions. Thanks to you, Valentina has grown quite a bit this past year. We are applying to GSOC 2015 as a mentoring organization. To be accepted, we need one or more established organizations to vouch for us in their GSOC 2015 application. If Inkscape is applying for GSOC 2015, would you please consider vouching for 'Valentina' in your application? If anyone is curious, we have started a Project Ideas page here: https://bitbucket.org/dismine/valentina/wiki/GSOC%202015%20Ideas%20Page The list should change and expand over the next two weeks so keep checking back. Thanks for all your awesome work! Best, Susan Spencer *www.valentina-project.org* <http://www.valentina-project.org> *https://bitbucket.org/dismine/valentina <https://bitbucket.org/dismine/valentina>* *@ValentinaPSW*

Thinking of attending SCALE 13x? Inkscape booth could use your help.
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi people, I'm just sending out a quick note to explicitly invite any Inkscape users, devs or other interested parties to come to SCALE 13x and spend a little time helping to represent the project in the exhibit hall. The conference has provided us booth space again, along with a set of passes for those helping. Even being able to spend an hour or two over the weekend could be helpful. And in case you or anyone you know might be wondering about attending SCALE, I have a discount code that can be used. Since I'm speaking, the conference has given us the promotional code 'SPEAK' to advertise. Use it to get a 50% discount. http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/13x -- Jon A. Cruz jon@...204...
