== Distros ==<br />
<br />
Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.<br />
<br />
"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.<br />
<br />
e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get:<br />
0.48 / 0.47-<br />
<br />
'''General rules:'''<br />
* Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) [https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Debian packages]<br />
* Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu packages]<br />
**e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at '''feature freeze time''' (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.<br />
<br />
* Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora packages]<br />
* Don't break ''point'' releases.<br />

[[Category:About Inkscape]]<br />
[[Category:Developer Documentation]]</div>Tavmjonghttps://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Architectural_overview&diff=123286Architectural overview2025-10-22T08:06:22Z<p>Tavmjong: /* How Inkscape starts */</p>
<hr />
<div>This is a high-level overview of how Inkscape works.<br />
<br />
See doc/architecture.txt in the code repository for another (dated) overview.<br />
<br />
==Main subsystems==<br />
Inkscape can be roughly subdivided into these subsystems:<br />
<br />
;[[XML subsystem]]<br />
:Classes to store the parsed XML of an SVG document. Fairly generic, and doesn't contain significant SVG-specific functionality. The main distinguishing features (from something like <code>libxml++</code>) are notifications about XML changes and undo functionality. This subsystem is garbage-collected. Because XML nodes were formerly C structures called <code>SPRepr</code>, the XML tree is sometimes called the "repr tree", and XML nodes "reprs" (short for "representation").<br />
;[[Object tree]]<br />
:This is where the bulk of Inkscape's functionality is contained. Implements an XML-to-display primitive mapping, and provides an object hierarchy that can be modified using the tools. Based on <code>GObject</code>. Each document has an object tree and an XML tree. Changes in the XML tree are automatically propagated to the object tree via observers, but ''not'' the other way around—a function called <code>updateRepr()</code> must be explicitly called.<br />
;[[Display subsystem]]<br />
:Responsible for rendering graphic primitives, displaying things onscreen, and providing the main canvas widget. Also dispatches events to tools. Contained in the <code>src/display/</code> directory of the source tree. <br />
;[[Tools subsystem]]<br />
:Processes input events on the canvas and translates them into document changes. Tools are called ''event contexts'' internally. This subsystem is based on <code>GObject</code>, dispersed in the <code>src/</code> directory (and several subdirectories). Files with event handling code end with <code>-context.cpp</code>.<br />
;[[Extension subsystem]]<br />
:Allows third-party extensions without modifying Inkscape's code. Currently, extensions may provide additional I/O formats, effects, path effects, and printing backends.<br />
;[[Preferences subsystem]]<br />
:Provides a shared storage for all of Inkscape's user settings. Small but relatively self-contained. Keeps the parsed XML tree of the preferences file (but it's not directly accessible). The intent is to separate preference ''implementation'' (which might not be based on an XML file in the future) from the ''API'' used to access them. Contained in <code>preferences.cpp</code><br />
;[[User Interface Modules]]<br />
:Dialogs, widgets, tools, and more.<br />
<br />
==How Inkscape starts==<br />
OUT OF DATE<br />
<br />
# <tt>main()</tt> is called, and determines whether Inkscape was run in graphical mode or command-line mode.<br />
## '''On Windows:''' A <tt>WinMain()</tt> stub calls <tt>main()</tt> so that the command prompt is not displayed.<br />
# Based on the decision, either <tt>sp_main_gui()</tt> or <tt>sp_main_console()</tt>is called. <br />
## Both call <tt>sp_common_main()</tt>, which handles parameter parsing. Parameters are parsed into several global variables. (Yes, this needs to be heavily refactored!)<br />
# An instance of <tt>Inkscape::NSApplication::Application</tt> is created. <br />
## This object is an unfinished attempt at converting top-level Inkscape structures to C++ classes. It creates the legacy <tt>Inkscape::Application</tt> structure and creates an instance of <tt>SPDesktop</tt> for each open document. (<tt>SPDesktop</tt> is a window used to edit a document—the main window you see when you start Inkscape. Sometimes simply called “desktop” for short.)<br />
# The created desktops are shown. <br />
<br />
Ta-Da!<br />
<br />
==Historical note==<br />
Inkscape is derived from an earlier vector drawing program called Sodipodi. <br />
<br />
Sodipodi was written entirely in plain C using <code>GObject</code>. GObject is the C object system used by GTK+. <br />
<br />
Writing and maintaining <code>GObject</code> code is cumbersome, because C lacks any syntax support for this system. There are still many places that use old <code>GObject</code>-based code (notably the tools and the <code>SPObject</code> tree). <br />
<br />
An important long-term goal is to convert all <code>GObject</code> code to regular C++ objects. This goal has been addressed for the most part with 0.91.</div>Tavmjonghttps://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tracking_Dependencies&diff=123281Tracking Dependencies2025-07-30T15:40:07Z<p>Tavmjong: /* Distros */</p>

<div>== Compilers ==<br />
<br />
* Version 1.0 requires a C++11 compiler.<br />
* Version 1.1 requires a C++17 compiler.<br />
* Version 1.4 requires a C++20 compiler.<br />
<br />
See [[c++11]], [[c++17]], and [[C++20]].<br />

== Libs ==<br />
<br />
C++ bindings are not included, since their required versions match those of the C counterparts.<br />

<br />
== Distros ==<br />
<br />
Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.<br />
<br />
"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.<br />
<br />
e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get:<br />
0.48 / 0.47-<br />
<br />
'''General rules:'''<br />
* Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) [https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Debian packages]<br />
* Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu packages]<br />
**e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at '''feature freeze time''' (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.<br />
<br />
* Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora packages]<br />
* Don't break ''point'' releases.<br />

''** Gtkmm4 requires API changed Glibmm, Cairomm, and Pangomm. In particular, enums use child namespaces in newer libraries (Cairo::FORMAT_ARGB32 -> Cairo::Surface::Format::ARGB32).''<br />

<br />
== Distros ==<br />
<br />
Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.<br />
<br />
"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.<br />
<br />
e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get:<br />
0.48 / 0.47-<br />
<br />
'''General rules:'''<br />
* Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) [https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Debian packages]<br />
* Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu packages]<br />
**e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at '''feature freeze time''' (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.<br />
<br />
* Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora packages]<br />
* Don't break ''point'' releases.<br />

== Distros ==<br />
<br />
Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.<br />
<br />
"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.<br />
<br />
e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get:<br />
0.48 / 0.47-<br />
<br />
'''General rules:'''<br />
* Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) [https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Debian packages]<br />
* Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu packages]<br />
**e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at '''feature freeze time''' (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.<br />
<br />
* Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora packages]<br />
* Don't break ''point'' releases.<br />

* Pango 1.45.1 requires Glib 2.60<br />
* Pango 1.48.4 has vertical upright marks fix.<br />
* Harfbuzz 4.1 changes glyph positioning for upright vertical text when font does not have vertical metrics (from glyph touching to of cell to being centered in cell).<br />
* Cairo 1.18 supports various color font formats include export to PDF.<br />
<br />
''** Gtkmm4 requires API changed Glibmm, Cairomm, and Pangomm. In particular, enums use child namespaces in newer libraries (Cairo::FORMAT_ARGB32 -> Cairo::Surface::Format::ARGB32).''<br />

''<sup>+</sup> Decision at 5 Nov 2023 developer's meeting. Gtk4 4.10.1 has an important scrolling bug fix.''<br />
<br />
== Distros ==<br />
<br />
Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.<br />
<br />
"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.<br />
<br />
e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get:<br />
0.48 / 0.47-<br />
<br />
'''General rules:'''<br />
* Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) [https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Debian packages]<br />
* Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu packages]<br />
**e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at '''feature freeze time''' (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.<br />
<br />
* Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora packages]<br />
* Don't break ''point'' releases.<br />

== Distros ==<br />
<br />
Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.<br />
<br />
"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.<br />
<br />
e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get:<br />
0.48 / 0.47-<br />
<br />
'''General rules:'''<br />
* Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) [https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Debian packages]<br />
* Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu packages]<br />
**e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at '''feature freeze time''' (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.<br />
<br />
* Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora packages]<br />
* Don't break ''point'' releases.<br />

<div>''Italic text''<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
With native file dialogs, we cannot add features such as check boxes for options ("Choices"). We also cannot obtain information about which file filter is selected. We can only use the file extension to determin file type. This breaks are current method for using file dialogs to influence how files are saved. In particular:<br />
* We cannot have a checkbox to "Save as 1.1 SVG".<br />
* We cannot use the file filter setting to distinguish between saving as:<br />
* "Inkscape SVG", "Plain SVG" or "Optimized SVG" (''.svg'').<br />
* "Compressed Inkscape SVG" and "Compressed Plain SVG" (''.svgz'').<br />
* "DXF 12" or "DXF 14" (''.dxf'').<br />
* "Compressed Inkscape with media" or "JessyInk" (''.zip'').<br />
Native file dialogs are simply useful for choosing file names, nothing more, nothing less.<br />
<br />
It's important to recognize that the Gtk::FileDialog class is NOT derived from a widget thus we cannot not change the insides. This is a necessity born from using native dialogs.<br />
<br />
Our current (Inkscape 1.4) situation spreads options for how SVG's are saved across several places. Choosing Inkscape or Plain SVG's is done in the File menu, selecting to save to SVG 2 or SVG 1.1 is done in the File dialog, selecting which SVG 2 features are converted to SVG 1.1 fallbacks is done in the Preferences dialog. It would be better to have all of this in one place.<br />
<br />
The Export dialog has received a lot of love over the past few years. However, it currently can handle only a subset of the file types that Inkscape can export to.<br />
<br />
See also [[Files: Output|2018 proposal]].<br />
<br />
== Current Behavior ==<br />
<br />
=== Save ===<br />
<br />
New document:<br />
* Opens file dialog (drawing.svg, set to Inkscape SVG).<br />
If opened as:<br />
* SVG: Saves as Inkscape SVG. (If write-protected, opens file dialog.)<br />
* PDF: Saves as PDF after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* EPS: Saves as EPS after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* EMF: Saves as EMF after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* DXF: Saves as DXF 12 (even if opened as DXF 14). without popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* PNG: Opens PNG settings then fails silently<br />
* JPG: Opens JPG settings then fails, opening Save dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Save as ===<br />
<br />
Opens file dialog. Preset to last saved file type (can be bitmap!).<br />
Can save to any vector format in file filter list.<br />
* "Guess from extension" will fail if trying to save bitmap (may or may not be silently). (Will open PNG settings.)<br />
* "Append filename extension automatically" fails.(Bug)<br />
<br />
=== Save a copy ===<br />
<br />
Same as "Save as" but doesn't update internal file data (e.g. file name).<br />
<br />
== Proposal ==<br />
<br />
With GTK4 Inkscape, all "Export" is done through the Export dialog, where "Export" is defined as saving a document to any form other than Inkscape SVG.<br />
<br />
''The File menu will contain these options:''<br />
<br />
=== Save ===<br />
<br />
Save a document to Inkscape SVG.<br />
* If a document does not contain a stored filename, open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename. Clear modified flag.<br />
* Save.<br />
* If save fails, revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save as... ===<br />
<br />
Save a document as Inkscape SVG with a new different filename.<br />
* Open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename. Clear modified flag.<br />
* Save.<br />
* If save fails, revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save a copy... ===<br />
Save a document as Inkscape SVG with a new different filename, not updating internals.<br />
<br />
* Open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename.<br />
* Save.<br />
* Revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save Template... ===<br />
Save a document as an Inkscape template.<br />
<br />
=== Export ===<br />
[[File:Save File Types 1.4.x.png|thumb|File types from the 1.4.x Save dialog.]]<br />
<br />
Export document to a non Inkscape SVG format.<br />
<br />
* Open up Export dialog to choose export file type and options..<br />
<br />
Options shown are based on selected file type.<br />
<br />
The 1.4.x Export dialog currently handles: PNG, Inkscape SVG (no SVG specific options), Plain SVG, JPEG (with a big warning), TIFF, and WebP. The types the 1.4.x Save dialog handles are shown in the figure.<br />
<br />
I'm wondering about which file types we should still support. For example, AutoCAD R12 is from 1992 and R14 is from 1997. Flash is long deprecated, with any kind of support ending in 2020.<br />
<br />
Note: Bitmap formats are only available from the Export dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Export Overwrite ===<br />
''New (needs some thought)'' Export document, overwriting.<br />
<br />
* Export to same format as import or to the previously used export filetype.<br />
* No File dialog used.<br />
<br />
== Unification ==<br />
<br />
We have export from the command line and we have export from the Export dialog. These should be unified. It should be possible to set any values from the command line that you can set within the Export dialog. This can be done either of two ways:<br />
<br />
# Adapt the file export class used to track export options to handle more options.<br />
# Rely completely on setting preferences as is done by the Export dialog.<br />
<br />
The first means that options are temporary, the second means options are stored in the Preferences file. The second method is probably easier.<br />
<br />
== Notes on File dialogs ==<br />
<br />
We don't need to check on overwriting files ourselves. The file dialogs on all there platforms already have overwrite protection (verify for Windows).<br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
<br />
=== MacOS ===<br />
<br />
The MacOS dialog will add a file extension if it doesn't already exist based on the File type filter setting (if the filter setting is set to a single file type).<br />
<br />
''Gio::FileInfo::get_content_type()'' returns a '''UTI''' (''public.tiff'') rather than a '''mime-type''' (''image/tiff'').<br />
<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
<br />
=== Directories ===<br />
We keep track of the last directories for various file dialogues in preferences. A couple dialogs will fallback to the Windows' Document directory if a preference is not set. Is this desired behavior? Should it be that way on all platforms? Should it be that way for all file dialogs? If the Document directory does not exist, should we fallback to the Home directory? Glib makes it easy to find these directories (we don't need the complicated Windows code that is in ''get_start_directory()'' at the moment).<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
With native file dialogs, we cannot add features such as check boxes for options ("Choices"). We also cannot obtain information about which file filter is selected. We can only use the file extension to determin file type. This breaks are current method for using file dialogs to influence how files are saved. In particular:<br />
* We cannot have a checkbox to "Save as 1.1 SVG".<br />
* We cannot use the file filter setting to distinguish between saving as:<br />
* "Inkscape SVG", "Plain SVG" or "Optimized SVG" (''.svg'').<br />
* "Compressed Inkscape SVG" and "Compressed Plain SVG" (''.svgz'').<br />
* "DXF 12" or "DXF 14" (''.dxf'').<br />
* "Compressed Inkscape with media" or "JessyInk" (''.zip'').<br />
Native file dialogs are simply useful for choosing file names, nothing more, nothing less.<br />
<br />
It's important to recognize that the Gtk::FileDialog class is NOT derived from a widget thus we cannot not change the insides. This is a necessity born from using native dialogs.<br />
<br />
Our current (Inkscape 1.4) situation spreads options for how SVG's are saved across several places. Choosing Inkscape or Plain SVG's is done in the File menu, selecting to save to SVG 2 or SVG 1.1 is done in the File dialog, selecting which SVG 2 features are converted to SVG 1.1 fallbacks is done in the Preferences dialog. It would be better to have all of this in one place.<br />
<br />
The Export dialog has received a lot of love over the past few years. However, it currently can handle only a subset of the file types that Inkscape can export to.<br />
<br />
See also [[Files: Output|2018 proposal]].<br />
<br />
== Current Behavior ==<br />
<br />
=== Save ===<br />
<br />
New document:<br />
* Opens file dialog (drawing.svg, set to Inkscape SVG).<br />
If opened as:<br />
* SVG: Saves as Inkscape SVG. (If write-protected, opens file dialog.)<br />
* PDF: Saves as PDF after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* EMF: Saves as EMF after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* DXF: Saves as DXF 12 (even if opened as DXF 14). without popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* PNG: Opens PNG settings then fails silently<br />
* JPG: Opens JPG settings then fails, opening Save dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Save as ===<br />
<br />
Opens file dialog. Preset to last saved file type (can be bitmap!).<br />
Can save to any vector format in file filter list.<br />
* "Guess from extension" will fail if trying to save bitmap (may or may not be silently). (Will open PNG settings.)<br />
* "Append filename extension automatically" fails.(Bug)<br />
<br />
=== Save a copy ===<br />
<br />
Same as "Save as" but doesn't update internal file data (e.g. file name).<br />
<br />
== Proposal ==<br />
<br />
With GTK4 Inkscape, all "Export" is done through the Export dialog, where "Export" is defined as saving a document to any form other than Inkscape SVG.<br />
<br />
''The File menu will contain these options:''<br />
<br />
=== Save ===<br />
<br />
Save a document to Inkscape SVG.<br />
* If a document does not contain a stored filename, open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename. Clear modified flag.<br />
* Save.<br />
* If save fails, revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save as... ===<br />
<br />
Save a document as Inkscape SVG with a new different filename.<br />
* Open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename. Clear modified flag.<br />
* Save.<br />
* If save fails, revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save a copy... ===<br />
Save a document as Inkscape SVG with a new different filename, not updating internals.<br />
<br />
* Open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename.<br />
* Save.<br />
* Revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save Template... ===<br />
Save a document as an Inkscape template.<br />
<br />
=== Export ===<br />
[[File:Save File Types 1.4.x.png|thumb|File types from the 1.4.x Save dialog.]]<br />
<br />
Export document to a non Inkscape SVG format.<br />
<br />
* Open up Export dialog to choose export file type and options..<br />
<br />
Options shown are based on selected file type.<br />
<br />
The 1.4.x Export dialog currently handles: PNG, Inkscape SVG (no SVG specific options), Plain SVG, JPEG (with a big warning), TIFF, and WebP. The types the 1.4.x Save dialog handles are shown in the figure.<br />
<br />
I'm wondering about which file types we should still support. For example, AutoCAD R12 is from 1992 and R14 is from 1997. Flash is long deprecated, with any kind of support ending in 2020.<br />
<br />
Note: Bitmap formats are only available from the Export dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Export Overwrite ===<br />
''New (needs some thought)'' Export document, overwriting.<br />
<br />
* Export to same format as import or to the previously used export filetype.<br />
* No File dialog used.<br />
<br />
== Unification ==<br />
<br />
We have export from the command line and we have export from the Export dialog. These should be unified. It should be possible to set any values from the command line that you can set within the Export dialog. This can be done either of two ways:<br />
<br />
# Adapt the file export class used to track export options to handle more options.<br />
# Rely completely on setting preferences as is done by the Export dialog.<br />
<br />
The first means that options are temporary, the second means options are stored in the Preferences file. The second method is probably easier.<br />
<br />
== Notes on File dialogs ==<br />
<br />
We don't need to check on overwriting files ourselves. The file dialogs on all there platforms already have overwrite protection (verify for Windows).<br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
<br />
=== MacOS ===<br />
<br />
The MacOS dialog will add a file extension if it doesn't already exist based on the File type filter setting (if the filter setting is set to a single file type).<br />
<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
<br />
=== Directories ===<br />
We keep track of the last directories for various file dialogues in preferences. A couple dialogs will fallback to the Windows' Document directory if a preference is not set. Is this desired behavior? Should it be that way on all platforms? Should it be that way for all file dialogs? If the Document directory does not exist, should we fallback to the Home directory? Glib makes it easy to find these directories (we don't need the complicated Windows code that is in ''get_start_directory()'' at the moment).<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
With native file dialogs, we cannot add features such as check boxes for options ("Choices"). We also cannot obtain information about which file filter is selected. We can only use the file extension to determin file type. This breaks are current method for using file dialogs to influence how files are saved. In particular:<br />
* We cannot have a checkbox to "Save as 1.1 SVG".<br />
* We cannot use the file filter setting to distinguish between saving as:<br />
* "Inkscape SVG", "Plain SVG" or "Optimized SVG" (''.svg'').<br />
* "Compressed Inkscape SVG" and "Compressed Plain SVG" (''.svgz'').<br />
* "DXF 12" or "DXF 14" (''.dxf'').<br />
* "Compressed Inkscape with media" or "JessyInk" (''.zip'').<br />
Native file dialogs are simply useful for choosing file names, nothing more, nothing less.<br />
<br />
It's important to recognize that the Gtk::FileDialog class is NOT derived from a widget thus we cannot not change the insides. This is a necessity born from using native dialogs.<br />
<br />
Our current (Inkscape 1.4) situation spreads options for how SVG's are saved across several places. Choosing Inkscape or Plain SVG's is done in the File menu, selecting to save to SVG 2 or SVG 1.1 is done in the File dialog, selecting which SVG 2 features are converted to SVG 1.1 fallbacks is done in the Preferences dialog. It would be better to have all of this in one place.<br />
<br />
The Export dialog has received a lot of love over the past few years. However, it currently can handle only a subset of the file types that Inkscape can export to.<br />
<br />
See also [[Files: Output|2018 proposal]].<br />
<br />
== Current Behavior ==<br />
<br />
=== Save ===<br />
<br />
New document:<br />
* Opens file dialog (drawing.svg, set to Inkscape SVG).<br />
Opened as:<br />
* SVG: Saves as Inkscape SVG. (If write-protected, opens file dialog.)<br />
* PDF: Saves as PDF after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* EMF: Saves as EMF after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* DXF: Saves as DXF 12 (even if opened as DXF 14). without popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* PNG: Opens PNG settings then fails silently<br />
* JPG: Opens JPG settings then fails, opening Save dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Save as ===<br />
<br />
Opens file dialog. Preset to last saved file type (can be bitmap!).<br />
Can save to any vector format in file filter list.<br />
* "Guess from extension" will fail if trying to save bitmap (may or may not be silently). (Will open PNG settings.)<br />
* "Append filename extension automatically" fails.(Bug)<br />
<br />
=== Save a copy ===<br />
<br />
Same as "Save as" but doesn't update internal file data (e.g. file name).<br />
<br />
== Proposal ==<br />
<br />
With GTK4 Inkscape, all "Export" is done through the Export dialog, where "Export" is defined as saving a document to any form other than Inkscape SVG.<br />
<br />
''The File menu will contain these options:''<br />
<br />
=== Save ===<br />
<br />
Save a document to Inkscape SVG.<br />
* If a document does not contain a stored filename, open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename. Clear modified flag.<br />
* Save.<br />
* If save fails, revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save as... ===<br />
<br />
Save a document as Inkscape SVG with a new different filename.<br />
* Open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename. Clear modified flag.<br />
* Save.<br />
* If save fails, revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save a copy... ===<br />
Save a document as Inkscape SVG with a new different filename, not updating internals.<br />
<br />
* Open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename.<br />
* Save.<br />
* Revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save Template... ===<br />
Save a document as an Inkscape template.<br />
<br />
=== Export ===<br />
[[File:Save File Types 1.4.x.png|thumb|File types from the 1.4.x Save dialog.]]<br />
<br />
Export document to a non Inkscape SVG format.<br />
<br />
* Open up Export dialog to choose export file type and options..<br />
<br />
Options shown are based on selected file type.<br />
<br />
The 1.4.x Export dialog currently handles: PNG, Inkscape SVG (no SVG specific options), Plain SVG, JPEG (with a big warning), TIFF, and WebP. The types the 1.4.x Save dialog handles are shown in the figure.<br />
<br />
I'm wondering about which file types we should still support. For example, AutoCAD R12 is from 1992 and R14 is from 1997. Flash is long deprecated, with any kind of support ending in 2020.<br />
<br />
Note: Bitmap formats are only available from the Export dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Export Overwrite ===<br />
''New (needs some thought)'' Export document, overwriting.<br />
<br />
* Export to same format as import or to the previously used export filetype.<br />
* No File dialog used.<br />
<br />
== Unification ==<br />
<br />
We have export from the command line and we have export from the Export dialog. These should be unified. It should be possible to set any values from the command line that you can set within the Export dialog. This can be done either of two ways:<br />
<br />
# Adapt the file export class used to track export options to handle more options.<br />
# Rely completely on setting preferences as is done by the Export dialog.<br />
<br />
The first means that options are temporary, the second means options are stored in the Preferences file. The second method is probably easier.<br />
<br />
== Notes on File dialogs ==<br />
<br />
We don't need to check on overwriting files ourselves. The file dialogs on all there platforms already have overwrite protection (verify for Windows).<br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
<br />
=== MacOS ===<br />
<br />
The MacOS dialog will add a file extension if it doesn't already exist based on the File type filter setting (if the filter setting is set to a single file type).<br />
<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
<br />
=== Directories ===<br />
We keep track of the last directories for various file dialogues in preferences. A couple dialogs will fallback to the Windows' Document directory if a preference is not set. Is this desired behavior? Should it be that way on all platforms? Should it be that way for all file dialogs? If the Document directory does not exist, should we fallback to the Home directory? Glib makes it easy to find these directories (we don't need the complicated Windows code that is in ''get_start_directory()'' at the moment).<br />

Our current (Inkscape 1.4) situation spreads options for how SVG's are saved across several places. Choosing Inkscape or Plain SVG's is done in the File menu, selecting to save to SVG 2 or SVG 1.1 is done in the File dialog, selecting which SVG 2 features are converted to SVG 1.1 fallbacks is done in the Preferences dialog. It would be better to have all of this in one place.<br />
<br />
The Export dialog has received a lot of love over the past few years. However, it currently can handle only a subset of the file types that Inkscape can export to.<br />

== Current Behavior ==<br />
<br />
=== Save ===<br />
<br />
* New document: Opens file dialog (drawing.svg, set to Inkscape SVG).<br />
* SVG: Saves as Inkscape SVG. (If write-protected, opens file dialog.)<br />
* Opened as PDF: Saves as PDF after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* Opened as EMF: Saves as EMF after popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* DXF: Saves as DXF 12 (even if opened as DXF 14). without popping open dialog. On quitting, warns about data loss.<br />
* PNG: Opens PNG settings then fails silently<br />
* JPG: Opens JPG settings then fails, opening Save dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Save as ===<br />
<br />
Opens file dialog. Preset to last saved file type (can be bitmap!).<br />
Can save to any vector format in file filter list.<br />
* "Guess from extension" will fail if trying to save bitmap (may or may not be silently). (Will open PNG settings.)<br />
* "Append filename extension automatically" fails.<br />
<br />
=== Save a copy ===<br />
<br />
Same as "Save as" but doesn't update internal file data (e.g. file name).<br />
<br />
== Proposal ==<br />
<br />
With GTK4 Inkscape, all "Export" is done through the Export dialog, where "Export" is defined as saving a document to any form other than Inkscape SVG.<br />
<br />
''The File menu will contain these options:''<br />
<br />
=== Save ===<br />
<br />
Save a document to Inkscape SVG.<br />
* If a document does not contain a stored filename, open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename. Clear modified flag.<br />
* Save.<br />
* If save fails, revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save as... ===<br />
<br />
Save a document as Inkscape SVG with a new different filename.<br />
* Open up File dialog to choose a filename.<br />
* Update internal Inkscape version and filename. Clear modified flag.<br />
* Save.<br />
* If save fails, revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save a copy... ===<br />
Save a document as Inkscape SVG with a new different filename, not updating internals.<br />
<br />

* Update internal Inkscape version and filename.<br />
* Save.<br />
* Revert internal Inkcape version and filename. Restore modified flag.<br />
<br />
=== Save Template... ===<br />
Save a document as an Inkscape template.<br />
<br />
=== Export ===<br />
[[File:Save File Types 1.4.x.png|thumb|File types from the 1.4.x Save dialog.]]<br />
<br />
Export document to a non Inkscape SVG format.<br />
<br />
* Open up Export dialog to choose export file type and options..<br />
<br />
Options shown are based on selected file type.<br />
<br />
The 1.4.x Export dialog currently handles: PNG, Inkscape SVG (no SVG specific options), Plain SVG, JPEG (with a big warning), TIFF, and WebP. The types the 1.4.x Save dialog handles are shown in the figure.<br />
<br />
I'm wondering about which file types we should still support. For example, AutoCAD R12 is from 1992 and R14 is from 1997. Flash is long deprecated, with any kind of support ending in 2020.<br />
<br />
Note: Bitmap formats are only available from the Export dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Export Overwrite ===<br />
''New (needs some thought)'' Export document, overwriting.<br />
<br />
* Export to same format as import or to the previously used export filetype.<br />
* No File dialog used.<br />
<br />
== Unification ==<br />
<br />
We have export from the command line and we have export from the Export dialog. These should be unified. It should be possible to set any values from the command line that you can set within the Export dialog. This can be done either of two ways:<br />
<br />
# Adapt the file export class used to track export options to handle more options.<br />
# Rely completely on setting preferences as is done by the Export dialog.<br />
<br />
The first means that options are temporary, the second means options are stored in the Preferences file. The second method is probably easier.<br />
<br />
== Notes on File dialogs ==<br />
<br />
We don't need to check on overwriting files ourselves. The file dialogs on all there platforms already have overwrite protection (verify for Windows).<br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
<br />
=== MacOS ===<br />
<br />
The MacOS dialog will add a file extension if it doesn't already exist based on the File type filter setting (if the filter setting is set to a single file type).<br />
<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
<br />
== Questions ==<br />
<br />
=== Directories ===<br />
We keep track of the last directories for various file dialogues in preferences. A couple dialogs will fallback to the Windows' Document directory if a preference is not set. Is this desired behavior? Should it be that way on all platforms? Should it be that way for all file dialogs? If the Document directory does not exist, should we fallback to the Home directory? Glib makes it easy to find these directories (we don't need the complicated Windows code that is in ''get_start_directory()'' at the moment).</div>Tavmjonghttps://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Files:_Save&diff=123056Files: Save2024-10-10T19:47:28Z<p>Tavmjong: /* Save */</p>

With native file dialogs, we cannot add features such as check boxes for options ("Choices"). We also cannot obtain information about which file filter is selected. We can only use the file extension to determin file type. This breaks are current method for using file dialogs to influence how files are saved. In particular:<br />
* We cannot have a checkbox to "Save as 1.1 SVG".<br />
* We cannot use the file filter setting to distinguish between saving as:<br />
* "Inkscape SVG", "Plain SVG" or "Optimized SVG" (''.svg'').<br />

We have export from the command line and we have export from the Export dialog. These should be unified. It should be possible to set any values from the command line that you can set within the Export dialog. This can be done either of two ways:<br />

# Adapt the file export class used to track export options to handle more options.<br />

The first means that options are temporary, the second means options are stored in the Preferences file. The second method is probably easier.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
With native file dialogs, we cannot add features such as check boxes for options ("Choices"). We also cannot obtain information about which file filter is selected. This breaks are current method for using file dialogs to influence how files are saved. In particular, we cannot have a checkbox to "Save as 1.1 SVG", nor can we use the file filter setting to distinguish between saving as "Inkscape SVG" or "Plain SVG". Native file dialogs are simply useful for choosing file names, nothing more, nothing less.<br />
<br />
It's important to recognize that the Gtk::FileDialog class is NOT derived from a widget thus we cannot not change the insides. This is a necessity born from using native dialogs.<br />
<br />
Our current (Inkscape 1.4) situation spreads options for how SVG's are saved across several places. Choosing Inkscape or Plain SVG's is done in the File menu, selecting to save to SVG 2 or SVG 1.1 is done in the File dialog, selecting which SVG 2 features are converted to SVG 1.1 fallbacks is done in the Preferences dialog. It would be better to have all of this in one place.<br />
<br />
The Export dialog has received a lot of love over the past few years. However, it currently can handle only a subset of the file types that Inkscape can export to.<br />
<br />

== Distros ==<br />
<br />
Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.<br />
<br />
"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.<br />
<br />
e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get:<br />
0.48 / 0.47-<br />
<br />
'''General rules:'''<br />
* Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) [https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Debian packages]<br />
* Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu packages]<br />
**e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at '''feature freeze time''' (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.<br />
<br />
* Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) [https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora packages]<br />
* Don't break ''point'' releases.<br />

This table lists C++14 and C++17 features and whether they can be used in Inkscape or not (yet).<br />
Add C++14 or C++17 features that you would like to use to the table, so that we know what to test for to increase the C++17 "allowance".<br />

== Platform status ==<br />
<br />
We need to keep coordinated with the section on [[Tracking_Dependencies#Distros|Distro Dependencies]].<br />
<br />
Also see this page:<br />
* http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support<br />
<br />
Note that <code>__cplusplus</code> is always <code>1</code> for GCC 4.6 that is used on Windows. So <code>#if __cplusplus < 201103L</code> or variants does not work to choose between C++03 or C++11 code.<br />
<br />
C++17 is well supported by all major compilers.<br />

= Using Homebrew =<br />
<br />
If you are using [https://brew.sh/ Homebrew] instead, you can still use the above guidelines with small modifications.<br />
(Make sure you don't have any MacPorts stuff in your PATH.)<br />
<br />
List of '''packages''' to install with brew<br />
(for Inkscape 1.4):<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
brew install \<br />
adwaita-icon-theme \<br />
bdw-gc \<br />

cairomm \<br />

libomp \<br />
libsoup@2 \<br />
libxslt \<br />
ninja \<br />
pkg-config \<br />
poppler \<br />
potrace<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
You may substitute <code>imagemagick</code> with <code>graphicsmagick</code>.<br />
<br />
<code>gtk-mac-integration</code> is not needed with latest <code>1.2-dev</code>.<br />
<br />
Some keg-only libraries need to be added to <code>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code><br />
<br />
Some libraries can cause trouble if they are picked up from the SDK instead of Homebrew (observed with <code>libxslt</code> and <code>libxml2</code>). Adding them to <code>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> should fix this.<br />
<br />
Check out the source if you haven't already:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Then <code>cd inkscape</code> and follow the steps below.<br />
<br />
Tested with:<br />
* M1 MacBook Air with macOS 11.6 and Inkscape 1.2-dev<br />
* M2 MacBook Air with macOS 13.0.1 and Inkscape 1.2.1, 1.2.x from git.<br />
* M2 Mac Mini with macOS 14.2 and Inkscape 1.4-dev. (After adding pkg-config.)<br />

If <code>$PREFIX/bin/inkscape</code> works when executed and you want to turn it into an app or a DMG, have a look at the files inside the <code>inkscape/packaging/macos</code> directory. More info can be found on upstream mibap:<br />
<br />
* https://github.com/dehesselle/mibap<br />
<br />
Follow the steps to install the toolset, package the app, and create a DMG. In case you use upstream mibap, you will get the app under <code>/Users/Shared/work/mibap-*/</code> and you will get a DMG file in the same place you ran <code>./build_inkscape.sh</code>.<br />

If you can get MacPorts/Homebrew working, please update this file and remove above comment.<br />
<br />
= Using MacPorts =<br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Download and install [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts]<br />
<li>Edit the MacPorts variants config (optional).<br />
<br>Add this line to <code>/opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf</code><br />
<pre>-x11 +quartz</pre><br />
<li>In Terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal) type<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">sudo port install \<br />
adwaita-icon-theme \<br />
boehmgc \<br />
boost \<br />
cairo \<br />
ccache \<br />
cmake \<br />

libxslt \<br />
ninja \<br />
poppler \<br />
potrace \<br />
py-lxml \<br />
py-numpy \<br />
-x11 +quartz<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<li>In Terminal, get Inkscape<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git</syntaxhighlight><br />
<li>And build inkscape<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
# use a clean MacPorts environment (optional)<br />
LIBPREFIX="/opt/local"<br />
export PATH="$LIBPREFIX/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"<br />
<br />
# where to install<br />

<br />
# where to build<br />

<br />
ninja<br />
ninja install<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
''Note: Using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ccache ccache] and [https://ninja-build.org/ ninja] is not required, but very common because it speeds up compilation.''<br />
<li>Run Inkscape<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
$PREFIX/bin/inkscape<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
= Using Homebrew =<br />
<br />
If you are using [https://brew.sh/ Homebrew] instead, you can still use the above guidelines with small modifications.<br />
<br />
List of '''packages''' to install with brew<br />
(for Inkscape 1.1):<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
brew install \<br />
adwaita-icon-theme \<br />
bdw-gc \<br />
boost \<br />
cairomm \<br />
ccache \<br />
cmake \<br />
double-conversion \<br />
gettext \<br />
gsl \<br />
gspell \<br />
gtk-mac-integration \<br />
gtkmm3 \<br />
imagemagick \<br />
intltool \<br />
lcms2 \<br />
libomp \<br />
libsoup@2 \<br />
libxslt \<br />
ninja \<br />
poppler \<br />
potrace<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
You may substitute <code>imagemagick</code> with <code>graphicsmagick</code>.<br />
<br />
<code>gtk-mac-integration</code> is not needed with latest <code>1.2-dev</code>.<br />
<br />
Some keg-only libraries need to be added to <code>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code><br />
<br />
Some libraries can cause trouble if they are picked up from the SDK instead of Homebrew (observed with <code>libxslt</code> and <code>libxml2</code>). Adding them to <code>$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> should fix this.<br />
<br />
Check out the source if you haven't already:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Then <code>cd inkscape</code> and follow the steps below.<br />
<br />
This was tested on an M1 MacBook Air with macOS 11.6 and Inkscape 1.2-dev, and an M2 MacBook Air with macOS 13.0.1 and Inkscape 1.2.1, 1.2.x from git.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"><br />
# use a clean Homebrew environment (optional)<br />
LIBPREFIX="/opt/homebrew"<br />
export PATH="$LIBPREFIX/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"<br />
<br />
# keg-only libraries<br />
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$LIBPREFIX/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig"<br />

<br />
As of 27 March 2024, the CI runners for the various supported platforms are<br />
* Linux:<br />
** appimage:linux: GNU 13.2.0 (building on Ubuntu 23.10)<br />
** inkscape:linux: Same as above<br />
* Windows<br />
** inkscape:windows:build: GNU 13.2.0 (temporarily disabled since GTK4 port)<br />
** inkscape:windows:dist: Same as above<br />
* macOS:<br />
** inkscape::macos:arm: Apple Clang 15.0.0<br />
** inkscape:macos:x64: Apple Clang 13.0.0 (temporarily disabled since GTK4 port)<br />
<br />
We strive to support latest Debian stable and latest Ubuntu LTS. However, we had to break that promise since the GTK4 port, which requires gtkmm4 >= 4.14:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Distro || gcc || clang || gtkmm4<br />
|-<br />
| Debian 12 (Bookworm, stable) || 12.2.0 || 15.0.6 || 4.8.3<br />
|-<br />
| Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) || 12.3.0 || 15.0.7 || Not packaged!<br />
|-<br />
| Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar) || 13.1.0 || 16.0.0 || 4.10.1<br />
|-<br />
| Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) || 13.2.0 || 18.1.0 || 4.10.1 (???)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Ubuntu users therefore have the following options:<br />
<br />
* Wait for Ubuntu 24.04, expected around 25 April 2024.<br />
* Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 now.<br />
* Upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 and build gtkmm4 from source, as is currently done by CI.<br />
* ???<br />

We strive to support latest Debian stable and latest Ubuntu LTS. However, we had to break that promise since the GTK4 port, which requires gtkmm4 >= 4.14:<br />
