Keyboard shortcut for global snap toggle?
by Pablo Fernandez 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Dear inkscape users, I have installed the latest inkscape available in ppa:inkscape.dev/stable for Ubuntu 20.04. I would like to change the default keyboard shortcut for toggling global snap from the default "%" to "F" (or "f") key. That used to work for me in inkscape 1.0 and previous versions thanks to the following lines in ~/.config/inkscape/keys/default.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <keys name="My custom shortcuts"> <bind key="f" action="ToggleSnapGlobal" display="true" /> <bind key="F" action="ToggleSnapGlobal" display="true" /> </keys> But since, I think, 1.1 version, my custom keyboard shortcut "F" is not working any more. I have also tried to change the shortcut via Preferences, Keyboard, Shortcuts but I don't see how to do it. For completion, I have another shortcut defined in the same file which does work for opening the Tex Text extension: <bind key="j" action="org.ekips.filter.textext" display="true"/> I appreciate your help, Best wishes, Pablo

Opening .pdf file gets completely white figure
by Luiz Enger 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with Inkscape version 1.1.1 on my Macbook macOS Monterey 12.1, running on a M1 Pro chip. Whenever I open a .pdf file, all I get is a completely white image. Just a white square, nothing else. I've used Inkscape for years on Ubuntu and never had this problem before. Could anyone give any advice? Thanks a lot! Kind regards, Luiz Guilherme Enger

Fwd: Scribus 1.5.8 released
by Maren Hachmann 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Forwarding for your interest: -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.8. Like previous releases, work on version 1.5.8 focused mostly on bugfixes and code optimizations, the latter of which are expected to lead to reliability and speed improvements. We have also begun to prepare Scribus for using Qt6, which will make our work easier for future releases. Most important changes General - UI Improvements for dark mode and some icon updates and window interactivity - Improvements to file import (IDML, PDF, PNG, TIFF, SVG) - Improvements to PDF export - Improvements with respect to tables (undo/redo, styles) - Improvements to the Story Editor - Improvements to the build system - Translation updates Technical/OS-related updates - Scribus 1.5.8 now includes Python 3 and is built for mac OS Catalina or higher. Additional Notes The complete changelog is available here: https://bugs.scribus.net/changelog_page.php?version_id=112. More details are available from the Scribus Commit Mailing List archive (http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus-commit/), beginning with revision 24637 in April 2021. Please note that while some bug fixes still may be backported to the 1.4.x branch, we do not plan an official release of this version anymore. If you think you need the changes, you have to check out the SVN repository and build 1.4.9svn from source. We encourage all Linux and *BSD distributions to switch from 1.4.x to this new version, since it's not only much more versatile but also more stable. Download For download links and checksums please visit: https://w.scribus.net/wiki/index.php/1.5.8_Release Credits The Scribus Team would like to thank Anduin.net and Modirum for their continued hosting of all of the Scribus websites.

(USA), the Newspaper Association of America (USA), Software Consulting Services (USA), freieFarbe e.V.

Finally, the Scribus Team would like to thank the many end users, translators, testers and contributors who helped us with this release.

Problem with line spacing
by Freddy Fisker 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

On the system OpenBSD I have a problem with Inkscape. When I write a text of several lines, the first two lines have the normal line spacing, but the next lines have the double line spacing. It is a great problem for me because older documents get the same problem, when I open them. OpenBSD tell me to write here to Inkscape. On OpenBSD it is version 1.1.1p1 of Inkscape I am using. Best regards Freddy Fisker

Re: Changing document size wipes out gradient [SOLVED]

Somebody privately emailed me advising me to check the following box to eliminate this symptom: Edit>Preferences>Behavior>Transforms>Transform Gradients This indeed cured the problem. I will be hammering this hard on my Wednesday night presentation. I don't know why transforming gradients isn't the default behavior --- after all, gradients are placed in objects, and all objects can be transformed (moved). In the rare instance when you don't want the gradient to follow the object, it's easy enough to grab the handle(s) and move the gradient after the fact. A little more about the symptom. I reproduced it just now, and the problem isn't that the gradient handles disappear, but instead that things re-center and the handles go offscreen. By zooming out I was able to locate and move the gradient handles.

GoLUG Inkscape presentation 1/5/2022
by Steve Litt 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Hi all, GoLUG is going to have another Inkscape presentation, online via Jitsi, at 7pm Eastern (New York) time on 1/5/2022. I can give the presentation, but at our last Inkscape presentation one of the attendees had triple the Inkscape knowledge, and I'm wondering if she'd like to give the presentation instead of me. All I know about her is she's on the Inkscape-User list, and from her accent I don't think she was born in the United States.
