Website Testing
by Martin Owens 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi Inkscape Users, I've been working almost exclusively on the inkscape website, and I need some testers to run through the new features. report issues and review everything before I push it live. I'm pretty excited by these features, and I hope you will be too. The staging website: http://staging.inkscape.org The new features are an upgraded profile page, a paste bin, a gallery (with svg support). Which you should be able to upload a certain amount of art, screenshots etc. This amount is controlled by a quota (because the web server is tiny, so I hope to get a bigger server disk). All these require you to be logged in, you may need to make a user account on the staging machine, the users are different from the inkscape main website (different database). Thanks for your help, bugs can be reported here, on irc #inkscape or in the launchpad bug tracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/~inkscape-web Best Regards, Martin Owens

The Graphical Web conference
by Tavmjong Bah 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hi, I've been asked to announce The Graphical Web conference to the Inkscape mailing list. This conference (formerly SVG Open) is an important conference for people interested in web graphics. The topic this year is "Visual Storytelling". As you probably already know, Inkscape uses SVG as its native file format. I will be giving a talk on SVG 2 from the perspective of web designers and artists. The conference is August 27-30 in Winchester, England. More details can be found at: http://www.graphicalweb.org/2014/ Tav

New releases?
by Christopher B. Wright 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Have there been any discussions as to when the next version of Inkscape will be formally released? We've been on 0.48.4 since December 2012. In mid-December 2013 you announced that version .49 would be released as version .91, but since then there has been no information since about version .91 -- what it would do, when it would be available, nothing. Obviously Inkscape works well enough for my needs, since I'm still using it, I'm just wondering what the plans are for moving it forward. -- Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@...537...)

Interactive diagrams using Inkscape
by William Adams 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

I drew up some for the Shapeoko assembly instructions: http://docs.shapeoko.com/ Documented the process in the forums: http://www.shapeoko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2930 Here's a recap in case anyone finds the code / technique of interest: - open up either a .svg or .ai (don't ask) version - set the file properties to width==800, height == 400 - select everything in the file and size it to 400 x 400 starting at 0,0 - set each line of parts information in Ubuntu 10pt. Regular and Bold - left align each text block and set them at x==450 - vertically distribute them evenly for a nice appearance - select all the text, copy it, create a new layer, paste it in place into the new layer and hide the layer and send it to the bottom of the layer stack. - open up highlight.svg select the invisible object and copy it - switch back to the file you're working on and paste in and size and arrange enough copies to encompass every possible part which needs highlighting - select all the highlights for a given part and group them - set the Object Properties ID of the group to match the part it highlights Highlight.<partname> (remember to click the ``Set'' button) - select the matching text and set its colour to red --- set its ID to Showthe.<partname> - disclose the interactivity tab and set the onclick property to this.style.display='none';document.getElementById("Highlight.<partname>").style.opacity="1.0"; - set the onmouseover property to this.style.cursor='pointer' - show the layer w/ the duplicated text - select the matching text object - set the onmouseover property to this.style.cursor='pointer' - set the onclick property to document.getElementById("Highlight.<partname>").style.opacity="0.0";document.getElementById("Showthe.<partname>").style.display="inline"; - set the ID to Button.<partname> - repeat for each part List of the processed files here: http://www.shapeoko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2992&p=22732 http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/25203-02-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/25197-02-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20022-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20021-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20029-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20028-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20030-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20031-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20023-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20026-100.svg http://docs.shapeoko.com/content/tPictures/PS20024-100.svg I still need to find the time to re-draw the individual parts and re-create the diagrams so that the filesizes aren't so bloated (one of them is ~15MB) William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

Re: [Inkscape-user] CMYK in PDF from Inkscape
by Gez 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Judah: Buddy, it helps if you read what I wrote. I never said that the PDFs created by inkscape are ready for press. I've always talked about taking them to Scribus to export them as PDF. You can use an intermediate or late binding workflow that way. Early binding is simply impossible using Inkscape, but using inkscape as a tool in your intermediate/late binding pipeline is possible, and valid for professional print. I've talked against the knowledge that early-binding is the only way to go for press. Because it is not. If you're using an intermediate or late binding workflow, it is not a problem that Inkscape doesn't support CMYK. Now, if you want to twist again all that I say just because you want to win this one, go ahead. Gez.
