Searching within Inkscape

2007-11-15T02:37:47Z

Ahentznd09:

I have been trying to work on searching algorithms within real-life code and am looking for a project in which to implement them. Inkscape seems like great project, so I was wondering if anyone had any need to search through objects within Inkscape and if this process needs to be optimized. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

:We have a Find dialog (ctrl+f) which works but is pretty clunky. If you can improve it in any way, that will be great help. One feature which is often requested is: search and select all objects that have the same fill/stroke/whatever as the currently selected object. Let me know if you need any help with your work.

::Thanks so much for the tip. Another question: sorry if this is documented somewhere, but I couldn't seem to find it... I was looking at the Find dialog implementation code and I understand that, but where is this dialog being called from during program execution? The dialog compares a passed SPItem, where is this item coming from and where is it stored? Sorry for all the questions... [[User:Ahentznd09|Ahentznd09]] 02:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

New feature proposals

2007-11-13T02:41:15Z

=== Proposals for New Features ===

This page is for links to pages describing concepts, proposals, and specs for new features, major
architectural changes, large scale codebase refactorings, etc. As they are implemented, these
links should be moved to more appropriate areas of the Wiki.
The idea here is to enable everyone to hash out requirements and design of a potential new feature
in detail prior to implementation. See also: [[InkscapeExperimental]] and [[Roadmap]].
* [[User:Bats|A user's list of suggestions/wishes]]: I recently finished a web project using Inkscape (mainly). This is a list of the things I wished it had, the things I liked but wanted to tweak and other observations as I was working. Perhaps it will help the programmers to see what a designer sees. I hope.
* [[InkscapeNeeds]]
* [[FeatureNotePad]]: use this for small notes and enhancement ideas, or for temporarily dumping feature requests (e.g. from mailing lists) before they are thought over, categorized, and put into pages of their own

* [[DirectoryReorgProposal]] [DONE]
* [[NonRecursiveMakefile]] [DONE]
* [[PerspectiveObject]]
* [[NewTools]]
* [[NetworkedEditing]]
* [[SharingDefs]]: Not exactly new, but need conversion/upgrade
* [[AdvancedFileAccess]]
* [[DocumentLayers]]
* [[PlugIns]]: This could be script ideas as well.
* [[HUD]]: putting head up displays on the sp-canvas
* [[PathOps]]
* [[InfoPalette]]
* [[ColorPalette]]
* [[UnitConversion]]
* [[ScriptingLanguages]] & options for handling extensibility
* [[TestingFramework]]: Creating testing framework
* [[PreferencesDialog]]
* [[BreadthFirstUndo]]
* [[CadInteroperability]]
* [[FontKerning]]
* [[PathfinderPalette]]
* [[PreserveOverTransform]]
* [[GimpInteraktion]]
* [[ClipTemplates]] - svg templates
* [[StockLibraryInterface]]
* [[Cairoification]]: replace svg renderer
* [[OpenPublishingToolsOrganization]]
* [[HelpMenu]]
* [[FormObject]]
* [[AST]]
* [[SpellCheckForTextNodes]]
* [[XML repair]] service for broken or weird files
* [[MoreUsableWorkingFolders]]
* [[SplitPaneUI]] View
* [[Pre-installed gradients]]
* [[rotate group of path points(knots)]]
* [[Searching within Inkscape]]

=== Review Inkscape RFE's and [[SodiPodi]]'s Tasks ===

Please review the following links, extract ideas, and develop them further for inclusion and discussion on this WIKI page.

Talk:Compiling Inkscape

2007-11-01T02:06:58Z

Ahentznd09:

Hi, I have a question. Is anyone aware of any known problems that result when trying to compile the required libraries while using Cygwin on Vista? I am specifically having problems with glib (required to compile gtkmm.)

Thanks,
Amanda

Addendum to the above: I have now decided to just compile on Windows. I would like to recommend not to use Cygwin for this project unless you are very comfortable with it, due to the large number of dependent libraries.
