About Screen Contest - 3-way tie for third!
by Josh Andler 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hey all, There was a 3-way tie for third that needs to be broken... more voting is needed from the community to wrap this up this part of the contest. http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/blog/487392705/ For the record, the two entries which have solidified their place are as follows. 1st - http://grassydeviant.deviantart.com/art/Splash-contest-entry-482486783 2nd - http://jfbarraud.deviantart.com/art/InkMotelBlinking4-480823055 It's a shame we don't support animation because if you go to the second place entry's page and click the download link to the right you get to see the full effect. Cheers, Josh

Translate flowed text boxes
by Vasco 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hi, I discovered some strange things when moving textboxes around. I will first describe this behavior and then describe what my problem is. I create a text box, with flowed text. In the XML this looks like <parent> <flowid> <rect /> </flowid> <text /> </parent> When I move this box around, not the position of the rect that is changed, but a global translate is applied to the parent entry. I discovered this, because our printer somehow renders the text box, and hiding whats behind. This is not a problem when the text is at the same place as the box, but it is a problem when you moved the text and the box did not move along. This behavior seems strange at the first glance, however, it is somehow logical from the internal XML structure. I wrote a little extension to shift these boxes arround: https://bitbucket.org/vascotenner/inkscape-fix_text_boxes/overview Groet, Vasco

Expand and contract entire document.
by john Culleton 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

I know that the vector components on an svg page can be expanded or contracted using Inkscape. But Suppose I have an Inkscape svg document that I want to make bigger or smaller to fit a different page size etc. I there a practical way to expand/contract the entire document and all its contents in proportion as well? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

How can I snap the rectile (center of rotation) to the node?
by SAITOU Toshihide 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

How can I snap the rectile (center of rotation) to the node? When I change the rectile in the selection mode, node is hidden and not selectable. I looked for the input box to set the coordinate of rectile, but it doesn't exist, and also I looked for the context menu of the node to attach the rectile to this node, but there is no such menu. So it seems I can't do it. SAITOU Toshihide

Problem with Inkscape startup?
by Michael Grosberg 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

I'm a heavy inkscaper at work and I use it every day. At home, though, not so much. But I recently had to work for home, so I launched my copy of Inkscape which turned out to be a rather old one and, to my dismay, noticed that I had to wait about 10 seconds after the Inkscape window appears before I could do anything. So, downloaded a fresh copy of 0.91-pre2 and sadly, the same thing. Here's what I'm seeing: *Inkscape window appears after a few seconds (maximized). no dockables. *Nothing happens until I click on the canvas. *After I click, program seems to halt, window title says "not responding" *After 10 seconds, dockables appear, program can be used Now, I'm not seeing this at work. My home system is recent and stronf. Windows 7, 64bit, 8GB RAM, solid state HD. so if anything it should be even faster than at work, but something is stopping it. Did anybody run into a similar problem? I tried deleting preferences, no change. Oh, one more thing, might be related: a few icons are showing a "missing file" icon instead of the normal one. preferences, undo, redo.

bounceback reply
by Brynn 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Hi Friends, I haven't been subscribed to this list for very long. So I don't understand this. Whenever I post a reply message to this list, there is always a bounceback reply from marcel.tippmann@...3098... He is out of office, etc..... It doesn't seem to happen for anyone else. But aren't we all sending email to the same address? Why is it only for my messages? If I was using the wrong address, my message would not show up at all....right? I usually use Reply All. Maybe this marcel tippmann is in the Bcc? Maybe? I don't understand. Thanks for explaining to newbie :-) brynn
