Kattekrab: /* Proposals */

=Overview=
This set of issues generally is first seen due to problems managing linked vs. embedded images. However it quickly becomes clear that the underlying principals and problems extend across the board to many things including CSS files, ICC profile files, etc.

=Issues=

* Pasting writes a PNG file with an auto generated name into the directory of the document and creates a link. If the document wasn't saved yet, it saves it to some arbitrary directory (home dir on Linux, Inkscape installation dir on Windows). [The name is inkscape_pasted_image_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.png]
* Importing or 'Drag and Dropping' a raster image creates links to the originals.

Here are the effects:
* Pasting an image into an unsaved document on Windows requires administrator privileges.
* Not possible to paste into a document opened from a read-only directory.
* Completely unexpected location of images pasted into an unsaved document.
* If the user forgets to send the linked images, SVGs sent to others via e-mail or other means are broken.
* By using "Edit externally" or ImageMagick extensions, a user unaware of links can overwrite valuable images.
* Inconsistent with SVG behavior: SVGs are always embedded.
* Copying the image to a web server results in misrendered SVG in the browser. Users unaware of links might blame the problem on the browser or the server rather than Inkscape (see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/415374 example])
* Linked images are not transmitted over Inkboard.

The e-mail problem must be fixed on the sender's side, because only he has access to complete data. The solution must involve combining raster data with the SVG, so that they reside in the same file.

=Use Cases=

==Cases==

* Arthur wants to create a collage using some bitmaps. He drags 2 images from Firefox into an SVG document, pastes a third one from GIMP and imports 4 other from his photo folder. He increases the contrast on one of them. He saves the document and sends the SVG using e-mail to a friend. He doesn't know much about links, so he does not include the original images in his e-mail.

* Issa works on a multi-user system at an university. She opens a scientific poster template from a shared read-only folder. She pastes photos of samples into the document, then saves the poster in her home folder.

* Charlie uses Inkscape to add vector frames to his photos. He wants to be able to post-process the images without updating the SVG document. He creates an image link.

* Sara is a web designer and has SVG documents with lots of absolute image links. She moves all the images to another folder. The links break, which is not surprising to her. She wants to fix all the links at once.

* Billy wants to edit an image embedded in the SVG document he received from Arthur.

==Personas==

Use cases are helpful, but in order to gain the most we need to know who are the users under discussion. This is a general Usability Design issue and we have some overall information being collected under our wiki section on [[Marketing_Scratchpad#User_Personas | User Personas]]. The specific user personas referenced in these cases on this page are:

* Arthur - 40-year old department store owner and amateur photographer who uses Windows. He has no idea what SVG stands for, but is familiar with pasting images into MS Word documents.
* Issa - 21-year old undergrad student of chemistry with some generic Unix experience, but no SVG or Web technologies experience.
* Charlie - 35-year old US Navy nuclear propulsion engineer on an overseas deplyoment who misses his family and likes to learn time-saving tricks.
* Sara - 30-year old Web designer with extensive knowledge of Web technologies and some experience with hand-tweaked SVG documents.
* Billy - 16-year old son of Arthur, a high school student and Wikipedia contributor experimenting with free software. Uses Inkscape from time to time to update world maps and draw diagrams.

=Proposals=

* Default to embedding images when pasting and Drag and Dropping pixel data
* When Drag and Dropping a file, ask whether to embed or to link
* Add a link option to the import dialog that defaults to off
* Embedded images as hybrid links: embedded raster data with info about its original location. If the original file exists, it is watched for modifications and updated

=Press Release Text=
==Small Overview==
The Inkscape project proudly announces a new release of its outstanding open source vector graphics editor. Version 0.47 includes major updates to core features and introduces powerful new tools.

====For More Information====

Complete Release Notes for 0.47
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047

Community Contributed Screenshots
http://inkscape.org/screenshots/

====About Inkscape====

Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML editing. It can also import EPS, PostScript, and most bitmap formats, and exports PNG, PS, PDF and various vector formats. Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source community with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool. Additional work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm, emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added through an extension mechanism, and maintaining a friendly, open, community-oriented development process.

===Announcement Text===
====The Inkscape Community Announces 0.47 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org :: Draw Freely.====

After over a year of intensive development and refactoring, Inkscape 0.47 is out. This version of the SVG-based vector graphics editor brings improved performance and tons of new features, some of which are as follows: Timed autosave, Spiro splines, Auto-smooth nodes, Eraser tool, New modes in Tweak tool, Snapping toolbar & greater snapping abilities, New Live Path Effects (including Envelope), A huge collection of preset filters, New cairo-based PS and EPS export, Spell checker, Many new extensions, Optimized SVG code options, and much more. Additionally, it would be wrong to not mention the hundreds of bug fixes as well. Check out the full release notes for more information about what has changed, enjoy the screenshots, or just jump right to downloading your package for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.

2009-08-24T23:04:54Z

Kattekrab: /* Current status */

= Sort out ''Save as'' vs ''Export'' formats =

This blueprint stems from several discussions on the mailing list about which format should be available in ''Save as'' or in ''Export'' and whether some should be exclusively available in only one of those.

==Current status==
There are different opinions on the current status of this functionality in Inkscape which is:

; Save
: contains all possible file formats (except PNG) and saves with the same name. If a format other than Inkscape SVG (or SVGZ) is used, a nag screen is displayed at close time, to warn the user about possible data loss.
; Save as
: as above but also saves with a new name and this new document is used inside Inkscape. Same nag screen.
; Save a copy
: as above but the new document is not used inside Inkscape. It is just written on the disk and work continues in the current document. Hence saving as a format different from SVG does not cause the nag screen to appear (the working document is still SVG)
; Export
: saves the drawing or part of it as a PNG raster file, with a new name, and keep the working image as SVG. The ''Export'' dialog can stay open at all times.

As a reminder, current save formats are (at least): Inkscape SVG(Z), Plain SVG(Z), PS, EPS, Cairo PDF, Cairo PS, POV, ODG, TEX, AI (8.0), DXF, AutoCAD DXF, EPSI, GPL, XCF, XAML, Inkscape svg with media ZIP, EMF.

Some people are just fine with this, some other think it is a mess, some other think a middle ground should be found between this and changing everything.

==Proposal==

The new behavior is based on the principles that
# The user should not be able to shoot him/herself in the foot by saving only to a lossy format
# The number of items in the file menu should be reduced
# Functionality (or UI at least) should be consistent for all save/export format

Principle 1 means that ''Save'' and ''Save as'' should only save as Inkscape SVG(Z) (and possibly plain SVG for people that only work in plain SVG?).

Principle 2 means that one of ''Save a copy'' and ''Export'' has to go since they are kind of redundant.

Principle 3 means that, when it is possible, saving in vector formats should offer the option to save only one object or a specific part of the canvas to the saved image, as export to PNG does. Furthermore, the UI should be consistent for this functionality.

The proposed behavior is therefore

; Save
: saves only as Inkscape SVG(Z) (Plain SVG(Z)? People, please give opinions on this. I don't personally work with SVG as the end format so can't tell what the workflow is in this case. Plain SVG is lossy from the editing point of view but maybe that is a major pain to have two copies of the same document when working with what is supposed to be Inkscape's native format)
; Save as
: idem, with a new name and setting the working document to be the new file
; Save a copy (incremental)
: saves current file in its current working format (Inkscape SVG(Z) (Plain SVG(Z)) with the specified increment appended. The increment expression would be on a panel of the Document Preferences dialog, but should default to just a simple incremental number based on the existence of other files with the same name and an appended number.
; Export
: saves to all vector and bitmap (and other e.g. GPL) formats, comprising Inkscape SVG(Z) and Plain SVG(Z), with a new name, keeping the working document in place. The export dialog should present a similar set of options for all file types, disable those not available for the particular file type selected, in a dialog as compact as possible (since it is meant to stay open at all time)

===A further proposed addition===
When saving [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171362 an optional automated export could be performed (see wishlist 171362)]. A common routine is to save a page as SVG then export the page to PNG. It's a little feature but it could enhance the app. People using OS without SVG thumbnails (or indeed those in which the thumbnails suck) could use this to export a low dpi PNG or by setting the export folder as a website folder a portfolio of all work could be easily made.

===Description of the export dialog===
* a file chooser at the top, and file type defaulting to "Guess from extension". The chosen filename should be shown relative to the current document and use and ellipsis to always show the extension (so that it is immediately obvious which file type is exported)
* batch export all selected object check box*
* four tabs underneath (Page, Drawing, Objects, Custom)**
* depending on the file type, enable or disable batch export
* when batch export is unchecked/unavailable, enable or disable each tab depending on the file type
** PNG: enable all
** PDF/PS/EPS: enable page, drawing, objects
** other graphic formats: enable page or drawing depending on the behaviour of the file type
** other formats (GPL): disable all

(*) To simplify matters, if batch export is restricted to PNG, it could be made a separate menu entry in the file menu Indeed, there is very little user interaction left in the dialog when it is checked (basically one can only click "Export") so it may be more efficiently done in one action (File > Batch export to bitmap) instead of three (File > Export bitmap, tick batch export, Click export). With SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+E as keyboard shortcut and a discardable nag screen (no they are not always evil) about the fact that it overwrites previous files it seems like a good solution to me.
If batch export is implemented in other formats, then this menu-item could mean "batch-export in the last used format".

(**) Selection becomes Objects and exports only selected objects (as with "hide all except selected objects" now). Custom behaves by default as "Selection" does now: the coordinates are the one of current selection and, when only one object is selected, the filename to which it is saved is saved in the SVG. When coordinates are changed manually and it reverts to how custom works currently. Does that make sense? Another solution would be to have Page, Drawing, Object, Selection/Selected area, Custom but it would make the dialog bigger.

===Alternative proposal for the export dialog===

This is a somewhat more ambitious proposal for the export dialog, which allows more flexibility in what is exported into which format and under what name. It also makes accessing the various functionalities a bit more regular through the use of docked windows.

From top to bottom, the window has the following fields:

-what to export
-whereto / in what format
-the ability to save the "export target" for later reuse

*What to export
: a drop down list containing the following choice, with a textfield or number field appearing whenever needed:
**the whole drawing
**the page
**a rectangle, with fields for the coordinates. The initial value of the coordinates are those of the selection
**a group/layer, with a text-field for the name. Maybe allow several names in the field to export several groups, each to its own file (then default the list to the current selection)
**all groups matching a regexp, with a text-field for the regexp. Each group is exported to its own file
**the selection, as a temporary group.

*Where to export
**A text field for the destination, with access to the file chooser.
**A button "advanced settings" for all file-format dependent settings
**Four fields: Width/Height and Xdpi/Ydpi, for the size of the exported image, where changes to W impact Xdpi and a check box for preserve aspect ratio. W and H are greyed out when exporting several groups.
**In the text field, it is possible to use interpolation sequences: %t is the time, %g is the name of the group being exported, %e its export hint. (other are possible if needed). The field should get a reasonnable default when exporting several groups so that medium-power users don't need to look at the doc to be able to use that functionnality.

*A big export button

*Export targets.

**Keep a list of ready to use targets, such as "export page as pdf", "do incremental save as svg", or "export all groups named export* to pdf". Have it be filled with reasonnable defaults and let the user add or remove any exports he does to the list.
**Allow one-click export from the list, and have an export of the list be selected. When hitting Ctrl-Shift-E, do that export.

===Correspondance between bitmap and vector functionality===
<table border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
<tr><th>Bitmap</th><th>Cairo PDF/PS</th></tr>
<tr><td>page</td><td>page</td></tr>
<tr><td>drawing</td><td>drawing</td></tr>
<tr><td>selection+hide</td><td>by ID</td></tr>
<tr><td>selection-hide</td><td>no equivalent (could be achieved by clipping though, or setting a crop box in the pdf)</td></tr>

=Press Release Text=
==Small Overview==
The Inkscape project proudly announces a new release of its outstanding open source vector graphics editor. Version 0.47 includes major updates to core features and introduces powerful new tools.

=== Tool Update Highlights ===

====Node====
Significant work on the node tool mean it is now possible to edit clipping paths and masks of objects on the canvas, without releasing them and the snapping and dragging controls are much more precise. There is also a new option to Auto smooth nodes.

====Tweak====
Several new modes are added to the Tweak tool for transforming, duplicating, and deleting selected objects using the same "soft brush" metaphor that the path editing and coloring modes use. Using these new modes, it is easy to "sculpt" scatterings of small objects, such as clone tilings, into complex and naturalistic textures.

====Calligraphy====
Settings can now be saved and restored as presets to create a range of repeatable effects and the alt and shift keys modify to tool for quick fixes to the selected path without leaving the tool.

====Eraser====
A whole new tool for rubbing out! Two modes offer different approaches to removing unwanted objects or parts of objects.

====Pen and Pencil====

====Inkscape Announces 0.47 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org :: Draw Freely.====

Over a year in the making Inkscape version 0.47 is a major update. The core development team have focused on refactoring much of the core technology that drives Inkscape and opened the way for greater flexibility and interoperability with other graphic tools. Inkscape performance is greatly increased now that historical code that was blocking this improvement has been removed by the refactoring effort. All users should upgrade now.

====About Inkscape====

Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML editing. It can also import EPS, PostScript, and most bitmap formats, and exports PNG, PS, PDF and various vector formats. Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source community with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool. Additional work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm, emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added through an extension mechanism, and maintaining a friendly, open, community-oriented development process.

====Inkscape Announces 0.47 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org :: Draw Freely.====

Over a year in the making Inkscape version 0.47 is a major update. The core development team have focused on refactoring much of the core technology that drives Inkscape and opened the way for greater flexibility and interoperability with other graphic tools. Inkscape performance is greatly increased now that historical code that was blocking this improvement has been removed by the refactoring effort. All users should upgrade now.

====About Inkscape====

Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML editing. It can also import EPS, PostScript, and most bitmap formats, and exports PNG, PS, PDF and various vector formats. Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source community with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool. Additional work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm, emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added through an extension mechanism, and maintaining a friendly, open, community-oriented development process.

Kattekrab: /* How did you do it? */

===What is your Name?===
Donna Benjamin, also known as KatteKrab on IRC and a few other places.

===Can you give us a Photo?===

===What do you think about Inkscape?===

I think Inkscape is absolutely brilliant. It is easily my favourite open source application. Years ago, I tried using Illustrator and found it really difficult to get into, where as Inkscape is very easy to learn. One of the great things is the community around Inkscape. The developers are friendly and responsive, and there's a whole bunch of people making screencasts, tutorials and HowTos. I can't remember when I first heard about Inkscape, but it was Andy Fitzsimon's tutorial at linux.conf.au in 2006 that really opened my eyes to what it can do, and I've been hooked ever since.

I use Inkscape regularly to create web graphics, flyers and banners. The trace bitmap feature is really cool - it's saved me a couple of times when I've had a poor quality image to work with, and no chance of getting a better one - so i just re-created it using trace!

===Can you give us a Hot Tip for using Inkscape?===

I love the Star tool. Using alt, ctrl and shift to modify the basic star is kind of addictive and mesmerising. But it's a quick way of creating a certain kind of star burst effect. Simply choose the Star tool, set the number of points to 17 or something - and drag the base radius tightly into the center of the star.

===Can you share some of your Artwork?===

Grab the SVG from Open Clip Art
http://openclipart.org/people/kattekrab/kattekrab_Spring_Blossom.svg

[[Image:Kattekrab_Spring_Blossom.png]]

===How did you do it?===

Each blossom is just a copy. It was created with the star tool. This time I created a 5 sided polygon and held down the shift key to round the angles out to -1.568. I then added a radial gradient to the center fill and to the stroke to add the soft pink flush.

I then converted the shape to a path, and added and deleted paths to get the overlapping petals effect, and fiddled with the end nodes a little to clean up the edges. Finish up modifying the colour and gradient of both the fill and the stroke.

The reason some of the blossoms are transparent, is that initially I forgot to set the outer gradient stop to white. But I liked the effect, so didn't fix it.

The branches were done with the calligraphy tool, and the background is just a rounded rectangle with gradients.

Simple.

I made a screencast of creating the blossom and popped it on youtube!

Kattekrab: /* What do you think about Inkscape? */

===What is your Name?===

===What do you think about Inkscape?===

I think Inkscape is absolutely brilliant. It is easily my favourite open source application. Years ago, I tried using Illustrator and found it really difficult to get into, where as Inkscape is very easy to learn. One of the great things is the community around Inkscape. The developers are friendly and responsive, and there's a whole bunch of people making screencasts, tutorials and HowTos. I can't remember when I first heard about Inkscape, but it was Andy Fitzsimon's tutorial at linux.conf.au in 2006 that really opened my eyes to what it can do, and I've been hooked ever since.

I use Inkscape regularly to create web graphics, flyers and banners. The trace bitmap feature is really cool - it's saved me a couple of times when I've had a poor quality image to work with, and no chance of getting a better one - so i just re-created it using trace!

===Can you give us a Hot Tip for using Inkscape?===

I love the Star tool. Using alt, ctrl and shift to modify the basic star is kind of addictive and mesmerising. But it's a quick way of creating a certain kind of star burst effect. Simply choose the Star tool, set the number of points to 17 or something - and drag the base radius tightly into the center of the star.

===How did you do it?===

Each blossom is just a copy. It was created with the star tool. This time I created a 5 sided polygon and held down the shift key to round the angles out to -1.568. I then added a radial gradient to the center fill and to the stroke to add the soft pink flush.

I then converted the shape to a path, and added and deleted paths to get the overlapping petals effect, and fiddled with the end nodes a little to clean up the edges. Finish up modifying the colour and gradient of both the fill and the stroke.

The reason some of the blossoms are transparent, is that initially I forgot to set the outer gradient stop to white. But I liked the effect, so didn't fix it.

The branches were done with the calligraphy tool, and the background is just a rounded rectangle with gradients.

Simple.
