<br />
Features include: Clip containing layer, Clip layer above, Clip layer below, Clip parent layer.<br />
<br />
'''''Notes:'''<br />
''You must select an object in the clipping layer before applying the extension, otherwise you will receive an error message.<br />
It is a good idea to lock the layer after the extension has been applied. You may also require hiding the clipping layer when using "Clip layer below". This may be exploited to create a masking layer.<br />

==Extensions for Programmers:==<br />
===[http://wiki.colivre.net/Aurium/RubyInk RubyInk]===<br />
Inkscape extension with Ruby<br />
<br />
===[http://wiki.colivre.net/Aurium/InkBash Ink-Bash]===<br />

<br />
===[http://wiki.colivre.net/Aurium/InkMoz InkMoz]===<br />
The Bridge from Inkscape to Mozilla (Inkscape extension with Javascript and more)<br />
<br />
== The Repository Specification ==<br />
<br />
A website where programmers can publish their extensions, users can search by that, and an update program can access this updates.<br />
<br />
=== The Website ===<br />
<br />
Must Have:<br />
* '''User Registration''': to allow upload, votes and comments<br />
* '''Extension Validation''': when published, it is public, but the user must be notified that was not validated (the code must be viewed by an validator user). The software updater do not update non-validated versions.<br />
** '''Validation Feedback''': the validator user must write why the extension was not validated.<br />
** '''Extension Deletion''': the validator user can delete an extension or version when he found a malicious code. The upload user must be marked as a malicious user and the account must be blocked.<br />
* '''Extension Search''': with filter, by any available data.<br />
* '''User Votes and Comments for Extensions''': The user can vote and/or comment an extension version.<br />
* '''Extension Bug-Tracker''': today, third part extensions are in simple web-pages. The site may have a Bug-Traker to help all little scripts.<br />
* '''User Extensions Requests''': a lot of users have ideas. Here is a good place for programmers see and make that alive.<br />
* '''Host a cool page for the extension''': allow introduction text, documenbtation, screenshots, examples, and '''i18n'''!<br />
* '''Help the l10n of this extensions''': with a web interface, like pootle and provide the l10n file for the updater program.<br />
* '''Provide Version Control''': A SVN account will be cool, but web uploads (by web-forms) can be transparently SVN commits.<br />
<br />
=== The Extension Meta-Data ===<br />
<br />
''The data in INX file and more some, like the OS and Inkscape version compatibility...''<br />
<br />
The INX file will define the meta-data settable by that. If some extension uses multiples INX files to have more than one option in the menu, all INX files must be read to set the meta-data. The meta-data will be cached in a database to help the search. The DB only need the meta-data of the last validated version and the last non-validated (if that is newer).<br />
<br />
=== The Update Program ===<br />
<br />
* '''Search for New Extensions''': when the user request<br />
* '''Update Extensions''': search for updates and install that<br />
* '''Help the Code Validation''': for advanced users. Show the extension code and the diff if is that an update.<br />
* '''Help the User Bug-Reporting''': that is not working! The user must say now! ''(When the Update Program be part of the Inkscape, the error window can have a button to submit a bug-report)''<br />
* '''Must test the extension dependencies''': the user must know what is needed to install before try to use.<br />
<br />
== Name Proposal ==<br />
<br />
Propose a name for the Inkscape Extension Repository:<br />
<br />
* '''The Factory'''<br />
* '''Extension Factory'''<br />
* '''INX Factory'''<br />
<br />
''Why Factory? Because it is not only a repository. ;-)''<br />
<br />
* '''The Furnace'''<br />
''Because Fire & Coal (Passion & Knowledge) are your tools for creating the extensions''<br />
<br />
[[Category:Developer Documentation]]<br />
[[Category:Extensions]]<br />
<br />
== Mockups ==<br />

I have no idea of the detail of this project; I don't currently have the skills necessary to try implementing it. I'm also not sure whether it's a good idea for Inkscape to offer hosted repositories (using [http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine Redmine] or [http://trac.edgewall.org/ Trac]?) or whether it would be better to just leave it to the developer to use somewhere like [http://github.com/ GitHub] or [http://bitbucket.org/ BitBucket] and then use their APIs to pull some basic data onto the site.

===[http://www.pernsteiner.org/inkscape/layerclip/ Layer Clip]===<br />
This is a a set of Inkscape extension scripts for setting and removing clip paths for entire layers. Inkscape has no trouble rendering or editing layers with clip paths, but it currently has no built-in method of setting the clip path for a layer, this is the purpose of these extensions.<br />
<br />
Features include: Clip containing layer, Clip layer above, Clip layer below, Clip parent layer.<br />
<br />
'''''Notes:'''<br />
''You must select an object in the clipping layer before applying the extension, otherwise you will receive an error message.<br />
It is a good idea to lock the layer after the extension has been applied. You may also require hiding the clipping layer when using "Clip layer below". This may be exploited to create a masking layer.<br />
Tested on Inkscape 0.48.2 r98''19''<br />

<br />
== The Repository Specification ==<br />
<br />
A website where programmers can publish their extensions, users can search by that, and an update program can access this updates.<br />
<br />
=== The Website ===<br />
<br />
Must Have:<br />
* '''User Registration''': to allow upload, votes and comments<br />
* '''Extension Validation''': when published, it is public, but the user must be notified that was not validated (the code must be viewed by an validator user). The software updater do not update non-validated versions.<br />
** '''Validation Feedback''': the validator user must write why the extension was not validated.<br />
** '''Extension Deletion''': the validator user can delete an extension or version when he found a malicious code. The upload user must be marked as a malicious user and the account must be blocked.<br />
* '''Extension Search''': with filter, by any available data.<br />
* '''User Votes and Comments for Extensions''': The user can vote and/or comment an extension version.<br />
* '''Extension Bug-Tracker''': today, third part extensions are in simple web-pages. The site may have a Bug-Traker to help all little scripts.<br />
* '''User Extensions Requests''': a lot of users have ideas. Here is a good place for programmers see and make that alive.<br />
* '''Host a cool page for the extension''': allow introduction text, documenbtation, screenshots, examples, and '''i18n'''!<br />
* '''Help the l10n of this extensions''': with a web interface, like pootle and provide the l10n file for the updater program.<br />
* '''Provide Version Control''': A SVN account will be cool, but web uploads (by web-forms) can be transparently SVN commits.<br />
<br />
=== The Extension Meta-Data ===<br />
<br />
''The data in INX file and more some, like the OS and Inkscape version compatibility...''<br />
<br />
The INX file will define the meta-data settable by that. If some extension uses multiples INX files to have more than one option in the menu, all INX files must be read to set the meta-data. The meta-data will be cached in a database to help the search. The DB only need the meta-data of the last validated version and the last non-validated (if that is newer).<br />
<br />
=== The Update Program ===<br />
<br />
* '''Search for New Extensions''': when the user request<br />
* '''Update Extensions''': search for updates and install that<br />
* '''Help the Code Validation''': for advanced users. Show the extension code and the diff if is that an update.<br />
* '''Help the User Bug-Reporting''': that is not working! The user must say now! ''(When the Update Program be part of the Inkscape, the error window can have a button to submit a bug-report)''<br />
* '''Must test the extension dependencies''': the user must know what is needed to install before try to use.<br />
<br />
== Name Proposal ==<br />
<br />
Propose a name for the Inkscape Extension Repository:<br />
<br />
* '''The Factory'''<br />
* '''Extension Factory'''<br />
* '''INX Factory'''<br />
<br />
''Why Factory? Because it is not only a repository. ;-)''<br />
<br />
* '''The Furnace'''<br />
''Because Fire & Coal (Passion & Knowledge) are your tools for creating the extensions''<br />
<br />

I have no idea of the detail of this project; I don't currently have the skills necessary to try implementing it. I'm also not sure whether it's a good idea for Inkscape to offer hosted repositories (using [http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine Redmine] or [http://trac.edgewall.org/ Trac]?) or whether it would be better to just leave it to the developer to use somewhere like [http://github.com/ GitHub] or [http://bitbucket.org/ BitBucket] and then use their APIs to pull some basic data onto the site.

<div>Hi. Please leave me messages on [[User_talk:User8192|my User Talk Page]].<br />
<br />
Although I'm relatively new to the Inkscape Wiki, I've been an active contributor the English Wikipedia since June 2004 (under a different user name), so I know my way around MediaWiki fairly well. My background is electrical engineering, and I've been using and programming computers since about 1970. As part of my job I've been involved in writing and maintaining technical documentation for several decades. The only frustration I have here is that the Mediawiki software installation is fairly basic and lacks many of the convenient templates that have been constructed over the years at Wikipedia, but perhaps that will improve in time.<br />
<br />
I've been using Inkscape since 2009, and my entire experience with it has been on Ubuntu Linux. At release 0.45 it was still fairly rough, but now at release 0.48.2 it is getting good enough for production work. My skills with the package are all self-taught, with the aid of the online Inkscape manual, how-to videos on YouTube, and many 'blog posts and tutorials I've found on the Web, including in this wiki. My hope is that this wiki will eventually become a repository of the best tips and tricks for using the software.&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:User8192|User8192]]<sup>[[User_talk:User8192|T]] [[Special:Emailuser/User8192|@]]</sup> 19:20, 13 February 2012 (UTC)</div>User8192https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Script_extensions&diff=94886Script extensions2015-01-23T22:52:22Z<p>User8192: spelling</p>

<div>[Note: This page concerns using scripting languages to create new Inkscape functionality. To access Inkscape functionality from scripting languages (i.e. to script Inkscape), see the Inkscape man page (especially in the development version or v0.46 or later, which provide --select and --verb options), or see the work in the src/extension/script directory of Inkscape source.]<br />
<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
Traditional Unix scripts can be used to extend Inkscape's functionality. Such programs read a stream of data on standard input, transform the data in some way, and then write the modified data to standard output. This is an easy way to expand Inkscape and provide custom functionality without learning the internals of Inkscape. Libraries for reading and writing SVG data exist for many programming languages, and most provide support for XML. This tutorial describes the "ins and outs" of writing one of these scripts and making it work with Inkscape's core functionality.<br />
<br />
== Script functions ==<br />
<br />
There are three kinds of functions that can be added with a script:<br />
<br />
* Input, providing translation from a file format to SVG<br />
* Output, providing translation from SVG to a format<br />
* Effect, taking in SVG, changing it, and then outputting SVG<br />
<br />
While all of these are very similar in the scripting interface, there are slight differences between them.<br />
<br />
== Interaction ==<br />
<br />
It is important for a script author to understand how Inkscape and scripts communicate.<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
(interpreter)? your_script (--param=value)* /path/to/input[[/SVGfile]] | inkscape<br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
Inkscape runs your script (optionally with an interpreter) passing it any number of parameters in long gnu style. The final argument is the name of the temporary svg file your script should read. After processing, the script should return the modified svg file to inkscape on STDOUT.<br />
<br />
== Important Tips ==<br />
<br />
* Receive the inkscape arguments.<br />
* Clear temp files if it creates one.<br />
* Write full changed SVG to the default output.<br />
* Don't break an <code>xml:space="preserve"</code> area.<br />
* Send error text to the error output and help the user.<br />
<br />
== Extension description file ==<br />
<br />
In order for Inkscape to make use of an external script or program, you must describe that script to Inkscape using an INX file. See the inkscape share directory for examples.<br />
<br />
The INX file allows you to:<br />
* Define the script file and other dependencies.<br />
* List all parameters and their types (to generate an input dialog window).<br />
* Mark dialog window text for translation.<br />
* Define an Inkscape menu entry.<br />
* Chain extensions.<br />
<br />
See [[INX extension descriptor format]] for help creating an INX file.<br />
<br />
=== Parameters ===<br />
The INX file describes which parameters the extension needs. Inkscape will prompt the user with a UI to fill out these parameters before the extension is called. Each parameter will be passed to the script as <code>--paramname=paramvalue</code>. Specify the script file to be run with the <code><command></code> tag.<br />
<br />
For example, if you have described a string parameter with name <code>string1</code> in the INX file, Inkscape will present a textbox to the user. When the user fills in <code>text</code> and presses Apply, it will pass <code>--string1="text"</code> to the script.<br />
<br />
There are several types of parameters that can be requested by the INX description:<br />
<br />
* String (textbox)<br />
* Boolean (checkbox)<br />
* Int (numeric textbox)<br />
* Float (numeric textbox)<br />
* Enum (drop down selection list)<br />
* Option group (radio buttons)<br />
* Notebook (pages/tabs)<br />
* Description (not a parameter, provides static text)<br />
<br />
For a detailed description of all parameters and input controls, see [[INX Parameters]].<br />
<br />
== Installing ==<br />
<br />
Installing is as simple as copying the script (unless it resides in your path) and its INX file to the inkscape/share/extensions ($HOME/.config/inkscape/extensions) directory. (If you install a script in your home directory be sure to copy the dependencies.)<br />
<br />
If you are looking to use scripts that have already been written, the most difficult part will likely be the installation. Since scripts are separate programs they may have any number of dependencies that are not included with inkscape. Currently, the best way to find missing dependencies is by reading the error messages produced by running the script from the command line.<br />

<hr />
<div>= Create Cleaned SVG =<br />
<br />
Please fix this wiki page if it doesn't fit the standard blueprint template.<br />
<br />
== Rationale ==<br />
We're working on a proposal and design for a plugin that saves SVG data with various things stripped and adjusted. Useful for scripting, templating with SVG, editing later in a text editor and keeping files small for Internet transfer.<br />
<br />
== Technologies ==<br />
<br />
* Python<br />
* python-xml<br />
* inkscape plugin svg/python module<br />
<br />
== Presented Options ==<br />
<br />
The save format would not be totally pre-set or blind but would instead be based on the options selected by the user in a single, simple dialogue much like the pdf export dialogue.<br />
<br />
== Cleaning Operations ==<br />
<br />
* Specify a limit to the precision of all positional elements.<br />
* Clean up XML Elements<br />
** Collapse multiple redundent groups<br />
** Remove empty tags, such as defs or metadata.<br />
** Remove id tags for elements not referenced<br />
* Clean up Definitions<br />
** Remove unused definitions<br />
** Remove duplicate gradient stops<br />
** Collapse duplicate gradient definitions<br />
** Remove gradients that are only referenced by one other gradient<br />
* Clean up CSS<br />
** Remove Default values, i.e. opacity: 1;<br />
** Remove Not applicable values, i.e. opacity: 0; fill-color: #00000;<br />
** Convert RGB colours from RGB(r,g,b) to #RRGGBB format<br />
** Convert RGB colours from #RRGGBB to #RGB if possible<br />
* Clean up paths<br />
** Detect vertical/horizontal lines and replace.<br />
** Eliminate empty path segments<br />
** Eliminate last segment in a polygon<br />
** Collapse straight curves.<br />
** Convert absolute path segments to relative ones.<br />
* Process Transformations<br />
** Process quadratic Bezier curves<br />
** Collapse all group based transformations<br />
* Convert known properties to element attributes<br />
** css to element attributes<br />
* Output Standard SVG<br />
** Remove inkscape namespace<br />
** Remove sodipodi namespace<br />
** Remove adobe namespace<br />
** Use viewPort instead of document width/height<br />
<br />
== Tests ==<br />
<br />
Testing of this code can be done automatically with a single good logical test. And should be written first. This involves a single svg document with all the worst noise and each ideal document output from that based on each operation. The test would be simply if the output is reached it passes.<br />
<br />
== Reference Work ==<br />
<br />
=== SVG Tidy ===<br />
<br />
* This script has been created in Ruby where some of the ideas have been pulled:<br />
<br />
See: http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/2008/02/01/SVG-Tidy<br />
<br />
=== Scour ===<br />
<br />
* NOTE: scour (a Python script) has since been developed to automate the cleaning of SVG files. Most of the points on this page have been covered. Suggest using scour as the basis for the Inkscape plugin.<br />
<br />
See: http://codedread.com/scour/<br />
<br />
=== islint ===<br />
<br />
* Another project: (depricated, see NOTE below) [[islint]] (wiki link), InkScape lint is implemented with an InkScape "Save As" filter. Some different priorities than the above were assumed, i.e. islint creates a CSS style sheet. It was written to target web development. The points above are under review (with the other scripts found here) An exacting test page would be ''very'' beneficial.<br />
<br />
NOTE: I changed the name from islint to svglint, I'm in the process of creating the project. svglint is a more recognizable name and islint implies that the tool is only for inkscape. I got ambitious.<br />
<br />
I've also thrown out the old code completely, call it the first waffle.<br />
<br />
See: http://svglint.sourceforge.net/ (project link)<br />

<div>== Wiki maintenance ==<br />
Kris, I've noticed that you're spending an inordinate amount of effort blocking accounts of spammers and deleting their handiwork. Most of them are, no doubt, new accounts, and it's a good bet that many of them are perpetrated by the same bad actors who are logging in with temporary IP addresses that change every time they reboot their ADSL modem. I recently encountered an interesting technique to cut down on this type of activity at the OpenOffice.org wiki. (Sorry, you'll need to find the URL yourself, because a half-baked script on this wiki puked when I tried to save this message with a link to the relevant page.) They've implemented a "cooling-off period" for new accounts and have completely blocked editing by anonymous users. Anyone can create an account, but one must wait '''four days''' before making the first edit. If someone has a legitimate reason to be here, they'll make a note of it and come back when the waiting time has expired, but it may be a significant deterrent to hit-and-run spammers. [[User:User8192|User8192]] 07:36, 2 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
:Hi User8192, We are aware of this extension which allows to allows to hinder inappropriate behaviour at various levels. It should be enabled now or very soon (I do not know its status though). Regards, [[User:Kris|Kris]] 08:20, 3 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== New spam ==<br />

<div>== Wiki maintenance ==<br />
Kris, I've noticed that you're spending an inordinate amount of effort blocking accounts of spammers and deleting their handiwork. Most of them are, no doubt, new accounts, and it's a good bet that many of them are perpetrated by the same bad actors who are logging in with temporary IP addresses that change every time they reboot their ADSL modem. I recently encountered an interesting technique to cut down on this type of activity at the OpenOffice.org wiki. (Sorry, you'll need to find the URL yourself, because a half-baked script on this wiki puked when I tried to save this message with a link to the relevant page.) They've implemented a "cooling-off period" for new accounts and have completely blocked editing by anonymous users. Anyone can create an account, but one must wait '''four days''' before making the first edit. If someone has a legitimate reason to be here, they'll make a note of it and come back when the waiting time has expired, but it may be a significant deterrent to hit-and-run spammers.

<div>#REDIRECT [[Stable branch updates]]</div>User8192https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Stable_branch_updates&diff=74702Stable branch updates2011-12-13T19:04:24Z<p>User8192: moved StableBranchUpdates to Stable branch updates: This is a MediaWiki wiki; it doesn't need CamelCase to create wikilinks and spaces in article names are allowed.</p>
<hr />
<div>= Stable Branch Updates =<br />
<br />
After an Inkscape 0.XX.0 release, we sometimes later put out one or more Stable Releases (0.XX.1, 0.XX.2, ...) containing important bug fixes.<br />
<br />
The Stable Branch is where we gather these changes to prepare for a Stable Release.<br />
<br />
== Acceptable Changes for Stable Releases ==<br />
<br />
For the stable release branch, we are looking for fixes to highly important problems. In particular, bugs that result in crashes, data loss, security vulnerabilities, severe regressions, or failure to build or install on some platforms are excellent candidates. Translation updates are okay too.<br />
<br />
Feature changes, minor fixes, and cosmetic changes generally are not appropriate for the stable branch, except in exceptional circumstances.<br />
<br />
== Marking a Bug Needing Fixed in a Stable Release ==<br />
<br />
If you run across a serious bug that definitely meets the criteria for the stable release, please 'milestone' it in Launchpad for the next stable release. This can be done by clicking the down arrow under Affects, and select the appropriate milestone in the Milestone dropdown.<br />
<br />
Milestoned bugs will be reviewed by the release manager. Some may be postponed to a later milestone if it is not fixable in time, or have its milestone dropped if it's not considered critical enough.<br />
<br />
== Nominating Patches for the Stable Branch ==<br />
<br />
If you have a patch for a bug that meets the criteria for the stable release (even if it is not milestoned), prepare it as described below for review and incorporation into the release branch.<br />
<br />
=== Updating Bug Report ===<br />
<br />
1. Verify there is an existing bug report for the patch. If not, create a new one and attach the patch.<br />
<br />
2. Verify the issue is fixed in the current development trunk, and its bug report task is "Fix Committed" or "Fix Released". This way, developers focusing on trunk know the issue is taken care of.<br />
<br />
3. Use the 'Nominate for release' link (on the left side of the bug report) to mark the bug as a candidate for the Stable Release. This will add a "release task" so the stable release team can track it.<br />
<br />
4. Make sure the bug report contains the following information:<br />
* Description of the problem and why it's so severe it needs to go in the stable release<br />
* Steps for reproducing the issue, including test cases or screenshots as appropriate<br />
* Explanation of what the patch does, and why that fixes the issue<br />
* Discussion about regression potential and how it could inadvertently affect users<br />
<br />
=== Preparing Patches ===<br />
<br />
Please create your patches using the following approach:<br />
<br />
diff -Nurp inkscape-0.46/src/path/foobar.cpp inkscape-new/src/path/foobar.cpp > patchname.patch<br />
<br />
This is the style used by Linux distro packagers, so preparing your patch this way enables them to cherry pick our Stable Release patches for backporting.</div>User8192https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=WikiNode&diff=74696WikiNode2011-12-13T19:01:08Z<p>User8192: link corrections</p>

<div>Welcome to the [[Inkscape]] wiki!<br />
<br />
Inkscape is an open source drawing tool.<br />
Inkscape uses the scalable vector graphics format (SVG).<br />
Inkscape also imports several formats like EPS, PostScript, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.<br />

<div>== Windows installer for 0.45? ==<br />
<br />
FAQ claims a self-contained installer for Windows XP. Release 0.45 seems to be missing this.<br />
<br />
Yes, it is possible to download an archive of 0.45 executables and libraries, but there seems to be no installer that would register file types to the executables and create menu entries, etc.<br />
<br />
Is there a maintenance release coming with a Windows installer?<br />
<br />
[[User:metaed|MetaEd]]<br />
<br />
== Download Inkscape ==<br />
<br />
Since I really enjoy working with graphics [i basically use mspaint] and subscribe to 'computer tips' thru worldstart, they have led me to your program called 'Inkscape'.<br />
<br />
I was wondering where I can acquire it at?<br />
<br />
==.ai?==<br />
This FAQ says that inkscape can save in .ai format, but I don't see that option in version 0.44 under the save dialog. --[[User:Axiom|Axiom]] 14:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC<br />
<br />
===Mac 10.4 ?===<br />
How do I make Inkscape work on a Mac with 10.4? The X.11 was installed--how do I make it active?<br />
<br />
== how about a 'select adjacent nodes' shortcut key ==<br />
<br />
If you've ever used Wings 3D, you're probably familiar with hitting the + key or - key to expand or decrease the number of vectors in the current selection. I keep wishing I could do the same with nodes in Inkscape (how about with '''Alt''' + '''+''' and '''Alt''' + '''-''').<br />
<br />
:In 0.45, it's pgup/pgdn or mouse wheel while the mouse is over a node.<br />
<br />
===Scale by percent?===<br />
I am a teacher of mathematics to future teachers, and would like to use Inkscape with my students for learning certain mathematical topics (mostly transformations.) However, in Inkscape, the scaling is % more than, not % of. While this may be the way that some graphics people like to think, it's not ideal for learning math.<br />
<br />
1) It doesn't agree with the conventions in other software: AI, AppleWorks, MS Paint, Freehand,... OpenOffice is even worse: you have to say the actual amount more, not the percent more.<br />
<br />
2) It makes certain key mathematical concepts less accessible: Twice as big is multiplying by 2 or 200%, a 15% tax on an amount is 115% of the amount, etc. <br />
<br />
Is there some way you could include this alternate way of scaling? (Yes, I realize you can put in the coordinates for the affine transformation as a matrix, but I'm working with elementary teachers.)<br />
<br />
:this is done in 0.46, thanks for feedback -- bb<br />
<br />
== changing locale under windows ==<br />
<br />
(Concerning '''I am working on a machine with operating system xxx which has default language yyy set, but I want to work with Inkscape menus in language zzz (most likely English), how can I set this?''')<br />
<br />
Under linux being no problem but under windows there seems to be no solution to change the locale on a system with turkish XP to be german. That's a bit - ah - strange...! At least one should be able to set something like <tt>set LANG=de_DE</tt> as environment variable. --[[User:Katpatuka|Katpatuka]] 19:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)<br />

== Adobe SVG Viewer ==<br />

"Adobe customer support for Adobe SVG Viewer will be discontinued on January 1, 2009."<br /><br />
--[[User:NeoPhyte Rep|NeoPhyte Rep]] 02:11, 17 December 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Savarese SVG Plugin for Internet Explorer ==<br />
<br />
Savarese Software Research provides an alternative to the unsupported Adobe Viewer. It is an unmodified distribution of the ActiveX control from the Mozilla code base.<br />
The installer is just under 10 MB (v1.9.2.8), and does NOT require Firefox to be installed. <br />
<br />
Annoyances: <br />
* Depending on your security settings, IE will probably give you warnings about running ActiveX controls. <br />
* You will have to modify your HTML to use an object tag instead of an img tag.<br />
<br />
http://www.savarese.com/software/svgplugin/<br />
<br />
== Linking the W3C Acronym ==<br />
<br />
There are three ways the W3C acronym is linked in this Wiki page:<br /><br />
1) Plain text only with no link.<br /><br />
2) Text linked to http://www.w3.org/<br /><br />
3) Text linked to the W3C page in this Wiki.<br />
<br />
I understand the first variety. One should not overlink any reference.<br />
<br />
I don't understand why both the second and third exist simultaneously on this page; especially, since the W3C Wiki page currently contains only the http://www.w3.org/ link.<br />
<br />
Could someone please help me improve my understanding of the proper way to link references such as W3C?<br />
<br /><br />
--[[User:NeoPhyte Rep|NeoPhyte Rep]] 21:37, 17 December 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Gnome and Bonobo ==<br />
<br />
According to the [http://library.gnome.org/devel/api GNOME Documentation Library API Reference],<br /><br />
under Bonobo Activation API Reference Manual,<br /><br />
"This module is heading towards planned deprecation. It will continue to be supported and API/ABI stable throughout the GNOME 2.x series, but we do not recommend using it in new applications unless you require functionality that has not already been moved elsewhere."<br />

<br />
== Bazaar replaced Subversion ==<br />
<br />
According to the News section of the [http://inkscape.org/ Inkscape home page],<br /><br />
"Source code repository has moved to Launchpad" which means Bazaar has replaced Subversion as the code repository.<br /><br />
I don't know how to edit the "What is the Linux command to download the code through Subversion?" question since I am not conversant with either source code version control system. Perhaps someone else can take on the task.<br /><br />

== 2.10 Can I use different settings for the new documents created by Inkscape? ==<br />
<br />
On Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) the path for storing settings is not <code>~/.inkscape/....</code> but rather <code>~/.config/inkscape/....</code><br />
<br />
I have not changed the FAQ in question as I don't know if the path is incorrect for other distributions. Can others confirm on different distros?<br />
<br />
:The path to the Inkscape Preferences directory has [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47#Preferences changed in Inkscape 0.47] on Linux and Mac OS X; it stayed unchanged for the Windows port (%APPDATA%\Inkscape).--[[User:~suv|~suv]] 20:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)<br />

[[Category:German]]</div>User8192https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_start_a_page&diff=74660How to start a page2011-12-13T18:52:05Z<p>User8192: article naming conventions</p>
<hr />
<div>There are two basic ways to start a Wiki page:<br />
#As you're reading through already-existing articles, you'll see question marks that are clickable links. You can click on a "?" link that appears after an article title, and you'll arrive at a page that says "Describe the new page here." Just delete that text and replace it with the text of your article. When you're finished, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Use the "[[Preview]]" button if you want to see what the page will look like first.) -- Modifying arbitrary pages by adding/wikifying a new term and then adding a well-written entry linked from that page are a great way to continually add new topics to the site.<br />
#If you want to create a brand-new topic, probably the first thing to do is to use the "search" form (see the bottom of this page, for example) and see whether someone has not already created some very similar page. If not, you can find some related topic, edit ''that'' page, and (in an appropriate place) add the title of the article you want to create between double brackets, <nowiki>[[like this]]</nowiki>. Then press the "save" button at the bottom of the page. On the page you just edited, you should see a clickable "?"; click on that and go to work on your new page! -- <br />
Some thoughts:<br />
* This is a '''MediaWiki wiki'''&nbsp;— it allows use of spaces in wikilinks, so '''use of CamelCase to create links is not needed or desirable'''. New article (page) titles should use sentence-case, i.e., capitalise the first word in the title and leave the rest lowercase, unless certain words in the title are proper nouns. Wikilinks in articles are created by enclosing a word or set of words with '''<nowiki>[[</nowiki>nested brackets<nowiki>]]</nowiki>'''. If you find a wikilink to a non-existent article that uses CamelCase run-together text, correct the link in that article according to these conventions before creating the new target article.<br />
* If you like, you can enter just a line or two of text for an entry. It's a start. Full-blown articles are not required. Adding any (accurate, helpful) information is welcome! Of course, if you can write more, that's all the better; some people do, as a matter of habit, usually write more than just a few lines when they start a new article.<br />
* How you word your articles will determine, to some extent, how likely it is other people will work on it. Examples:<br />
**An article that leaves many intriguing-sounding links or leaves ellipses (...), etc., might invite other know-it-alls to fill in the blanks.<br />
**Straightforward requests for information in an article can lead to good articles. For example, one might supply a rough description of a thing or place and then ask about its history; some people who know the answer will find it difficult to pass up the opportunity to teach.<br />

<div>== Help Wanted ==<br />
<br />
This page lists easy, entry-level type tasks where help is needed.<br />
These tasks focus on non-coding, or light-coding activities that are <br />
desperately needed right now.<br />
<br />
If you complete one of these tasks, please mark it (DONE) with your<br />
name (so we know who to give thanks to!) If you discover other tasks<br />
that you think others could do, please list them here.<br />
<br />
=== Inkscape Planning ===<br />
<br />
One of Inkscape's secrets to success is that we plan our work out, track tasks carefully, and work to keep all the todo lists trim and under control. Obviously, no coding experience is needed here. You'll need to have an eye for order, and it helps to know a bit about what's going on with Inkscape development but that isn't required.<br />
<br />
* Update the Inkscape [[Roadmap]] - Compare what's listed there with what's been recently added to the [[Release Notes|release notes]], and to recently closed Feature Requests and Bugs in the Inkscape Tracker. Mark things done in the roadmap as appropriate (and indicate who did them).<br />
* Find more tasks to add to [[HelpWanted]]<br />
* [[UpdatingTrackerItems|Update Tracker Items]] - See that page for details. Inkscape prides itself in keeping good track of bugs, features, and patches. No coding ability is required. This is an excellent way to help keep Inkscape chugging along. In particular:<br />
** The low priority bugs (level 3) should be reviewed. Some may be fixed by now, others may be out of date or irrelevant.<br />
** Try recreating the new bugs (those at level 5). Add a comment whether you can or cannot recreate them.<br />
** Search for duplicate or redundant feature requests, and mark the dupes.<br />
* Go through [[NewFeatureProposals]] and pull in ideas from the Feature Request task tracker. Add more details (be creative!) to expand and unify the ideas. Sketch out some mockups if you so desire. Add a comment to the Feature Request with a pointer to the wiki page that discusses it.<br />
<br />
=== Wiki Updating ===<br />
<br />
The Inkscape Wiki is always in need of editing and maintenance. Inkscape depends on its community (that's you!) to keep the wiki organized and useful.<br />
<br />
Items in need of updating:<br />
* Ensure the '''formatting''' of different wiki pages is consistent. Make sure each page has a title, uses wiki syntax, etc.<br />
* Search for '''spam'''. This is easy, take a look at [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]], review what people have posted, delete any spam and replace it with <tt><nowiki>{{Template:Spam}}</nowiki></tt>. It is easy for admins to find and delete pages with this template: they are in [[:Category:For deletion]].<br />
* '''Remove useless pages'''. There are a few too many links on the main wiki page, so trimming will help reduce the clutter. Move pages to [[WikiAttic]] or move their contents into more useful sections.<br />
** [[InkscapePopularity]] - appears abandoned and unfinished—maybe combine with another page?<br />
** [[Free Desktop Graphic Suite]] - seems abandoned and unfinished<br />
** [[AccessibleGraphics]]<br />
** [[ModalInterfaces]] - maybe fold the basic ideas into [[DeveloperManual]]?<br />
** [[TextUsability]] - maybe should be moved into the [[Roadmap]]?<br />
** [[KeyboardShortcuts]] / [[KeyboardShortcutsToDo]] / [[KeyboardProfiles]] - maybe combine all of these? Docco seems to have been moved elsewhere<br />
* Create a nicely laid out Inkscape Developer Wiki area<br />
** Move the items that are extremely specific to Inkscape development into it. Don't move everything in the Developer Documentation section, though, as some of that is useful to users that are simply trying to troubleshoot problems. Items to move:<br />
*** [[DeveloperManual]]<br />
*** [[WorkingWithCVS]]<br />
*** [[HandlingPreferences]]<br />
*** [[AddSPObject]]<br />
*** [[ReprListeners]]<br />
*** [[InkscapeJanitors]]<br />
*** Coding Style Discussion<br />
*** [[FileTypes]]<br />
*** Icons<br />
*** [[InkscapeColor]]<br />
*** [[PrintingSubsystem]]<br />
*** SVG Tiny Compliance<br />
*** CSS Support<br />
*** [[TranslationInformation]]<br />
*** [[ObjectManager]]<br />
*** [[DialogsReorganization]]<br />
*** Statusbar API<br />
*** [[SubsystemRearchitecture]]<br />
*** [[GtkMMification]]<br />
*** [[PathRepresentaiton]]<br />
*** Cairoification<br />
*** [[ScribusInteroperability]]<br />
*** Animation-(Timeline)<br />
*** [[NewFeatureProposals]]<br />
*** [[ExtensionArchitectureProposals]]<br />
** Distinguish between development ideas/proposals, plans/specs, and documentation/techniques<br />
** Add other useful links for reference documentation on topics of relevance to Inkscape development<br />
*** [[OpenVG]]<br />
*** [[OpenDocument]]<br />
* Flesh out the [[DeveloperManual]] - we want to expand this into something that will provide a useful reference for new (and old!) developers. <br />
** Pull in [[ErrorsAndWarnings]], [[DebuggingTips]], [[HandlingPreferences]], [[AddSPObject]], [[ReprListeners]]<br />
** Look through other wiki pages for docs that really should be included in the [[DeveloperManual]] and move them there.<br />
** Browse through the Inkscape-devel mailing list for development tips/tricks/suggestions to add<br />
** '''Draw some diagrams''' or relevant pictures to include in the manual, to help break things up<br />
** Create a Table of Contents<br />
** '''Review and update''' the docs to more accurately match the state of the codebase<br />
** Skim through the Inkscape codebase for comments worth adding to the [[DeveloperManual]]<br />
<br />
Completed items: (historical record)<br />
* Merge [[ApplicationIcons]] and [[Icons]]. Also looks like these need editing and update in general. Merge Done —[[User:GigaClon|GigaClon]] 09:35, 21 June 2006 (PDT)<br />
* Remove useless pages. There's a bit too many links on the main wiki page, so trimming will help reduce the clutter. Move pages to [[WikiAttic]] or move their contents into more useful sections.<br />
** [[CPlusPlus]] / [[Pangoification]] - these are both done, the pages aren't really useful anymore. Done —[[User:GigaClon|GigaClon]] 07:45, 18 June 2006 (PDT)<br />
<br />
=== Inkscape Promotion ===<br />
<br />
Believe it or not, there are still people in the world who don't know about Inkscape. Your job is to fix this! Here are some ideas for helping to spread the word about Inkscape:<br />
<br />
* Update [[InkscapeFeatures]] - Review recent changes to [[Release Notes|Release notes]] and make sure [[InkscapeFeatures]] capture all the major features we've got.<br />
* Contact magazine publishers and ask that they include Inkscape coverage and/or copies of Inkscape in their magazine CDs<br />
<br />
=== Inkscape Documentation ===<br />
<br />
Inkscape users love having new tutorials, guides, and references.<br />
<br />
* Help author, edit, translate, and review tutorials<br />
* Join the Inkscape Manual team. This aims to compile a complete reference, so if writing Wikipedia articles appeals to you, you'll love this!<br />
* Write more content for the website or wiki<br />
* Get articles published about Inkscape on FootNotes, DeviantArt, FreshMeat, or other community sites<br />
<br />
=== Determining Dependencies ===<br />
<br />
Some of our core dependencies such as glib and GTK+ do not have explicit listings of minimum versions needed. Going through the API docs and code looking for what we do require might not require much coding expertise, but can help benefit many users.<br />
<br />
Lend a hand with [[Tracking Dependencies]]<br />
<br />
=== Making Screenshots ===<br />
<br />
For a user, screenshots are perhaps the most important resource at inkscape.org. It's what most people look at first: they want pretty pictures.<br />
<br />
Please see the [[MakingScreenshots]] page for fuller explanation of this topic and instructions on how to make screenshots and submit them to the [http://inkscape.org/screenshots/index.php gallery].<br />
<br />
=== Inkscape Janitors ===<br />
<br />
If you can code (even if you're new to coding), check out [[InkscapeJanitors]] for specific coding requests. Code it up, create a patch, and upload it to the patch tracker. Easy!<br />
<br />
=== About Screen Submissions ===<br />
<br />
Occasionally Inkscape asks talented artists to submit their art to the project to be used in the upcoming release's ''About'' screen. Some excellent artwork has been contributed for past versions. See [[AboutScreen]] for more information.</div>User8192https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=BugTriageProjects&diff=74642BugTriageProjects2011-12-13T18:33:18Z<p>User8192: moved BugTriageProjects to Bug triage projects: This is a Mediawiki wiki.

<hr />
<div>We very much appreciate the feedback we get from users. <b>They usually report their findings (bugs, feature requests or patches) here:<br />
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape Launchpad Bug Tracker summary]</b>. We can use help in testing bug reports, trying to reproduce them and add more information that might help solve the problem. For example, sometimes a bug might already be fixed, and the issue can be closed. This would help the developers a lot in concentrating on the bugs that still exist.<br />
<br />
=== Updating Tracker Items ===<br />
<br />
This is the general methodology for dealing with [[SourceForge]] Bug, Feature, and Patch Tracker items:<br />
<br />
# Be polite. It takes some effort on the part of the user to come to our site, navigate to the bug report section, and write up a report. If they know their report will be treated seriously and professionally, they'll respect the system and put in extra time to help us solve the issue.<br />
# Do not close an unreproducible bug unless a reasonable amount of effort is put into reproducing it, and let it rot for some time before closing -- someone may come up with a better report in comments. (In a few situations we've not been able to recreate the bug, but due to the involved assistance of the user have been able to narrow down and fix the problem, and the user's been able to do the validation.)<br />
# Clarify. If it took you some time to guess what it's about, take another second to reword the title or add a comment, to make it obvious to whoever will be reading the tracker after you (especially if it's the person who can fix it).<br />
# Document your solution. When closing a bug as fixed, add a comment about how you did it (especially what files changed and what to look for in these files).<br />
# Prioritization: even though SF permits 10 levels of priority per bug, there doesn't seem to be much need for more than four levels: high(9), med(6), low(3), and unprioritized(5). There is no way to predict what features developers will want to work on so prioritization is used to indicate the importance or 'criticality' of an issue rather than when it might be implemented or even how difficult it migth be to do. <br />
## Crash bugs are generally always high(9), as are bugs related to file open/save problems, file corruption, loss of backup, or other things that could cause data loss for users or prevent them from being able to use the application. <br />
## Bugs which affect usability, functionality, behavior, etc. are generally medium(6), although important ones are bumped up to high and unimportant ones are dropped to low.<br />
## Quirks, really obscure things, and minor nit picky things would be low(3). <br />
<br />
:The prioritization level isn't used to indicate when the bug will be fixed. Bugs seem to get fixed whenever their time has come. That said, we do try to make an extra effort to address all the critical bugs prior to a release.<br />
<br />
=== Duplicates ===<br />
<br />
Always search for similar or Duplicate requests before filing new reports. <br />
When choosing which duplicate to close older reports should be given priority over newer reports. Exceptions can be made if one report has signficantly better information provided, and some priority should be given to non-Anonymous reports since there is a better chance of getting followup information from users. When closing a report as a duplicate make sure to include a full hyperlink to the report being left open and preferably the bug title/summary. Where appropriate copy and paste across any relevant extra information to the bug report being left open. <br />

<div>== Creating Dists of Inkscape ==<br />
<br />
Those who wish to produce packaged releases of inkscape are welcome to do so.<br />
If it is packages changes that you've made to the official release, please select a version name that distinguishes it from the official version, to avoid confusion. For example, “inkscape-0.35-johndoe.tar.gz”. Please consider distributing your changes as a patch rather than as a full distribution, as patches tend to be easier to maintain.<br />
<br />
Inkscape's release process works like this:<br />
<br />
# Chill - Wrap up development work<br />
# Frost - Feature work should be complete. Bug Hunt<br />
# Feature Freeze - Critical bug fixing<br />
# Hard Freeze - Two freeze wardens are named. All development must be done as patches submitted to the freeze wardens for review and integration.<br />
# Branch - The codebase is tagged and branched. Final release tarball is posted. The codebase is returned to regular open development.<br />
# Packaging - Three days are allowed for creating release dists (rpm's, deb's, exe's, and autopackages).<br />
# Release Announcement - A Release Announcement and a Press Release are written and circulated to relevant online news sites. Our Freshmeat record is updated. <br />
<br />
=== Feature Freeze Mode ===<br />
<br />
In the run-up to [[CreatingDists]], for a short time preceding the tagging of the release it's a good idea to hold off on adding new features or doing other major changes like architectural changes to the code that might decrease its stability. Whether a change is minor enough to be “ok” is left to the developer's judgement, and they're trusted to be conservative and careful.<br />
<br />
The most useful activity to do during a feature freeze is to locate and/or fix bugs that produce crashes, and to do so with the smallest amount of change to the codebase possible. If a “proper” fix requires architectural changes or redesign of the code, consider writing that up as a post-release task.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
It might be useful to branch off a release branch a week before making the release. Hopefully most people using CVS would switch to this branch at this time. Then only bug fixes can go into that branch. --[[Ted]]<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Branching the release candidate ===<br />
<br />
Before release, a branch should have been be created for that release in the form RELEASE_<major>_<minor>_BRANCH. For example, 0.38 should have a branch called RELEASE_0_38_BRANCH.<br />
<br />
Minor fixes and code review can then be performed on that branch before the final release; it also permits making future point releases easily (if necessary).<br />
<br />
To create the release branch, do the following:<br />
<br />
<pre>svn copy https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/trunk https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/branches/RELEASE_0_38_BRANCH</pre><br />
<br />
To check out this branch:<br />
<br />
<pre>svn checkout https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/branches/RELEASE_0_38_BRANCH inkscape-0.38-branch</pre><br />
<br />
Once the release is deemed ready a distribution tarball should be created as below.<br />
<br />
=== Creating a distribution source tarball package ===<br />
<br />
On the release branch (NOT ON HEAD):<br />
<br />
* Set the version name via the file configure.ac in the AC_INIT() macro, packaging/win32/inkscape.nsi, src/inkscape_version.h.mingw, and build.xml<br />
* Run `perl packaging/mkNEWS 046 > NEWS` to add the release notes into the NEWS file in the release branch. This command requires perl and lynx. Don't forget to replace 046 with the correct version number. The NEWS file may need some manual cleanup, so do a quick review of it.<br />
* Run ./autogen.sh && ./configure (with any flags, e.g. CXXFLAGS=).<br />
* Run “cd src && make helper/sp-marshal.h helper/sp-marshal.cpp inkscape_version.h && perl mkfiles.pl && perl mkdep.pl”, then do “cvs -q diff -du make.*|less” to check for anything strange (e.g. source files accidentally added or removed), and finally “cvs commit -m '' make.*”.<br />
* Run "cd po && make update-po" to update the translation files. This especially must be done before declaring string freeze.<br />
* Run "make dist"<br />
* This should produce inkscape-VERSION.tar.gz<br />
* Commit the changed configure.ac and other files to the branch<br />
* Tag the release in SVN<br />
<br />
Release tags should be in the form RELEASE_<major>_<minor>_<point>. A non-point-release like 0.38 would get the tag RELEASE_0_38_0, 0.38.1 would get the tag RELEASE_0_38_1, and so on.<br />
<br />
On HEAD:<br />
<br />
* Change configure.ac and inkscape_version.h.mingw to reflect the new future version<br />
<br />
=== GPG signing Tarballs === <br />
<br />
Downstream packagers are asking for and may soon demand gpg signed tarballs. For Fedora, this is not a requirement, but does ease acceptance of packages. It also shows we are doing “The Right Thing”. md5sums are not foolproof.<br />
<br />
* To create a gpg signed tarball:<br />
<br />
<pre>$gpg -u packager@foo.net --armor --output tarball.sig --detach-sig tarball.tar.gz</pre><br />
<br />
* To verify : <br />
<br />
<pre>$gpg --verify ./tarball.asc ./tarball.tar.gz</pre><br />
<br />
Of course, this step doesn't mean much in practice unless people have a trust path to your key. Packagers are encouraged to attend key signing parties and take other measures to establish important trust paths to their keys (particularly with downstream packagers).<br />
<br />
:Where are the public keys matching these sig's posted?<br />
<br />
=== Creating a Windows Distro ===<br />
Inkscape/sodipodi has always been<br />
buildable on Win32. The problem with the sodipodi and original inkscape build, though,<br />
was that the Win32 builder had to download and configure<br />
a lot of things to make it to work. Mingw, MSYS, automake,<br />
autoconf, pkg-config, the codepages, etc. He would spend more<br />
time on THAT than the actual code.<br />
<br />
What a pain for the average developer/user who merely wants<br />
to make Inkscape do what he wants it to do. Why waste<br />
days and days getting it to compile, when the developer<br />
would rather be working on the program itself?<br />
<br />
So we spent several weeks collecting libraries, building others,<br />
installing the codepages into the source (which we can delete soon<br />
because of Pango) and creating a set of clean makefiles<br />
that work on Win9x, NT, XP, and the cross-compiler.<br />
It is a bit more work for people like me, but hopefully it<br />
attains its goal of saving a lot of work for other people.<br />
<br />
Also, remember that on Unix/Linux, $PREFIX is commonly<br />
/usr/local or /usr or something like that. In windows, all of<br />
a program's files are typically located in their own directory. So all<br />
of the files are located relative to “.”. Actually, relative to<br />
the .exe that is currently running.<br />
<br />
.....anyway, just wanted to explain that there is a reason<br />
for the Win32 build to be constructed in such a manner,<br />
and that we haven't just been arbitrary.<br />
<br />
The version numbers in the FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION fields within inkscape.rc and inkview.rc need to be updated to reflect the current version number of the release.<br />
<br />
Once the tree is built (“make -f Makefile.mingw” and “make -f Makefile.mingw dist-strip”) into the “inkscape” directory, the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ NSIS] installer script “inkscape.nsi” can be run to create the self-extracting win32 installer.<br />
<br />
The Windows download package should be named according to the following scheme:<br />
<br />
inkscape-$RELEASE-$PKG.$WINVER.exe<br />
<br />
Where $WINVER is the required Windows version, e.g. “win32”. For example:<br />
<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.win32.exe<br />
<br />
=== Creating a Debian .deb ===<br />
<br />
The article [[CompilingDebian]] provides a makefile to download a tarball and build a debian package therefrom.<br />
<br />
=== Creating a distribution RPM ===<br />
<br />
Method A:<br />
# do as above for tarball, or download the release tarball<br />
# login as root<br />
# rpmbuild -tb inkscape-x.x.tar.gz<br />
# Your RPMs will be in /usr/src/rpm[[/RPMS]] (/usr/src/redhat on RH systems)<br />
# RPMs should be GPG signed<br />
<br />
Method B:<br />
# do as above for tarball, or download the release tarball<br />
# mkdir ~/rpm<br />
# Copy the tarball to ~/rpm/SOURCES/<br />
# Copy the inkscape.spec from the tarball to ~/rpm/SPECS/inkscape.spec<br />
# rpmbuild -ba ~/rpm/SPECS/inkscape.spec<br />
# Your RPMs will be in ~/rpm/RPMS and ~/rpm/SRPMS<br />
# RPMs should be GPG signed<br />
<br />
The rpm should be named according to the following pattern:<br />
<br />
inkscape-$RELEASE-$PKG.$DISTRO.$ARCH.rpm<br />
<br />
Where:<br />
<br />
$RELEASE: the Inkscape release number, such as “0.37”, “0.36.2”, etc. <br />
The third number should be omitted if it is 0. (I.e., 0.37 instead of 0.37.0)<br />
<br />
$PKG: A version number for your package. Use a value of 1 for your package, and increment it if you<br />
need to update the released package for some reason.<br />
<br />
$DISTRO: The name and an indicator of the version number for the distro. E.g.,<br />
rh71, rh90, mdk91, suse90, fc1, etc. No need to be too exhaustive with the distro versions;<br />
for a given brand of distro it's probably enough to have a reasonably “modern” release<br />
and an older one for legacy support. For instance, rh71 and rh90.<br />
<br />
$ARCH: The architecture that the package was built on. E.g., i686, i386, athlon, ppc, etc.<br />
Don't bother with i586 - either i386 or i686 is preferred. The i386 packages will run on Cyrix <br />
and K-6.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.mdk80.i386.rpm<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.mdk80.i686.rpm<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.mdk91.i386.rpm<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.mdk91.i686.rpm<br />
<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.fc1.i386.rpm<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.fc1.i686.rpm<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.fc1.athlon.rpm<br />
inkscape-0.37-1.fc1.ppc.rpm<br />
<br />
For creating spec files, feel free to list yourself as the packager, but please use <br />
inkscape-devel@lists.sourceforge.net as the contact email address, to ensure that<br />
questions/complaints about the RPM go to the official support channel.<br />

Occasionally, the RPM will not build without some modifications. If the problem is serious enough that it affects every packaging format, this could signal a need to do a point release, but usually you can just add a patch specifically for the RPM. This is what RPM is for, after all. :-)<br />
<br />
Here's how to do it:<br />
<br />
1. Create a copy of the source tree, with the modifications needed to correct the issue.<br />
2. Generate a patch like this:<br />
<br />
$ diff -uNr package-1.0/ package-1.0p/ > ../SOURCES/package-1.0-my.patch<br />
<br />
3. Next add the patch to the RPM. In the specfile at %_topdir/SPECS/package.spec, add a line like this at the top of the file:<br />
<br />
Patch0: package-1.0-my.patch<br />
<br />
Then further down add a line after the %setup section, like this:<br />
<br />
%prep<br />
%setup ...<br />
%patch0 -p1<br />
<br />
It's a very good idea to split up changes into discrete patches, giving each a different number (they don't have to be consecutively numbered). Also, be sure to upload the patch(es) to the patch tracker so they'll get into the codebase for the next release.<br />
<br />
Then rebuild the package like this:<br />
<br />
rpmbuild -ba SPECS/package.spec<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Signing your package ===<br />
<br />
First, you need to have a public/private keypair. This can be generated with gpg using 'gpg --gen-key'.<br />
<br />
To add a signature to an extisting package, use the command rpm --addsign /path/to/package.rpm To sign in the process of building a package, use rpmbuild -bb --sign<br />
<br />
To check the signature on a package, use rpm --checksig.<br />
<br />
=== Releasing Dists on the [[SourceForge]] File Release Tool ===<br />
<br />
To release a file: (You need Release Tech permission for your Inkscape account)<br />
<br />
* ftp upload.sf.net (anonymous/anonymous)<br />
* cd incoming<br />
* mput filename<br />
* go to Admin -> File Releases<br />
* scroll to the bottom and click [Add Release] to the inkscape item<br />
* Enter 0.35 in the box & click “Create this Release”<br />
* Fill in the form, checkbox the file you uploaded in (c)<br />
* It won't give you a clear “success” message, but you can check it got in right by going to the Files list. You can then edit any of the info you entered, to make it more correct.<br />
<br />
Also see [[CVSNamingConventions]] if you are making a release. <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Announcing Releases ===<br />
<br />
When you cut a release, send a copy of the release notes as an announcement to inkscape-announce@lists.sourceforge.net.<br />
If you find other mailing lists or websites that should receive the announcements, add their email address to the inkscape-announce list. This is done by a list admin such as Bryce Harrington.<br />
<br />
'''[[AnnouncingReleases]]''' - Keep an eye out for other places we could announce such as distros or graphics-related sites (not only Linux-centric!).<br />
<br />
=== Updating Website Collateral ===<br />
<br />
When a new release is cut, there are several pieces of info that need to be added to the website:<br />
<br />
* Add a news item on front page<br />
* Review/revise FAQ<br />
* Review/revise Roadmap<br />
* Add or revise Screenshots (if appropriate)<br />
* doc directory: Add the manpage for the release, update doc/keys.html file, and change the corresponding version number(s) in doc/index.php.<br />
** From the shell on inkscape.org, cd to /home/inkscape/inkscape_web and run the command “(cd ../inkscape; svn update; chmod g+w -R * 2>/dev/null); pod2html --cachedir=/tmp --infile=../inkscape/inkscape.pod --outfile=doc/inkscape-man.html”.<br />

<br />
== Inkscape 0.47 Contest ==<br />
<br />
=== Ideas ===<br />
#Operate the contest in two phases, to promote the idea of collaboration. Phase 1 is a contest for the "Top 5 Concepts"; entry rules are fairly freeform. For Phase 2, everyone selects one of the five winners of the previous phase and creates their own derivation. The ultimate winner is selected from this set to be the about screen. Winners from phase 1 can participate in phase 2, but must select someone else's work to derive from (not their own).<br />
#Award a small number of honorable mentions for things we value, e.g.:<br />
##Best creative concept<br />
##Best optimized SVG file<br />
##Best use of the new Inkscape features<br />
#Include an "about the artist" tab in the about screen<br />
#Require open content licensing<br />

<div>#REDIRECT [[How to start a page]]</div>User8192https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_start_a_page&diff=74588How to start a page2011-12-13T18:28:37Z<p>User8192: moved How To Start A Page to How to start a page: Article title style</p>
<hr />
<div>There are two basic ways to start a Wiki page:<br />
#As you're reading through already-existing articles, you'll see question marks that are clickable links. You can click on a "?" link that appears after an article title, and you'll arrive at a page that says "Describe the new page here." Just delete that text and replace it with the text of your article. When you're finished, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Use the "[[Preview]]" button if you want to see what the page will look like first.) -- Modifying arbitrary pages by adding/wikifying a new term and then adding a well-written entry linked from that page are a great way to continually add new topics to the site.<br />
#If you want to create a brand-new topic, probably the first thing to do is to use the "search" form (see the bottom of this page, for example) and see whether someone has not already created some very similar page. If not, you can find some related topic, edit ''that'' page, and (in an appropriate place) add the title of the article you want to create between double brackets, <nowiki>[[like this]]</nowiki>. Then press the "save" button at the bottom of the page. On the page you just edited, you should see a clickable "?"; click on that and go to work on your new page! -- <br />
Some thoughts:<br />
* If you like, you can enter just a line or two of text for an entry. It's a start. Full-blown articles are not required. Adding any (accurate, helpful) information is welcome! Of course, if you can write more, that's all the better; some people do, as a matter of habit, usually write more than just a few lines when they start a new article.<br />
* How you word your articles will determine, to some extent, how likely it is other people will work on it. Examples:<br />
**An article that leaves many intriguing-sounding links or leaves ellipses (...), etc., might invite other know-it-alls to fill in the blanks.<br />
**Straightforward requests for information in an article can lead to good articles. For example, one might supply a rough description of a thing or place and then ask about its history; some people who know the answer will find it difficult to pass up the opportunity to teach.<br />

<div>It is nice for a first time user to have a tutorial to learn how to drive inkscape. I am suggesting making the tutorial document open by a command in the Help menu. We have a beginning of the tutorial in doc/default.svg (to be renamed into doc/tutorial.svg?).<br />
<br />
The tutorial should explain how this works so that the user can change the default easily (checkbox in save?).<br />
<br />
I'm suggesting we try and get this in for this release, particularly if someone can work on the tutorial to explain some of the features that people tend to miss when they first try out inkscape (knots, offsets, printing to .ps).<br />
<br />
== Tutorial outline ==<br />
<br />
* Introduce inkscape<br />
<br />
* Start the user off with the start (or spiral?) tool<br />
** use arrow tool to move, scale, stretch<br />
** click again for rotate shear<br />
** use node tool to customised shape.<br />
<br />
* Other shapes<br />
<br />
* Path editing<br />
** changing the node and segment types<br />
** keybindings<br />
<br />
* importing images<br />
<br />
* boolean ops<br />
<br />
* offset shape<br />
<br />
* printing<br />
** printing to ps<br />
<br />
* exporting pngs<br />
<br />
* customising the document<br />
** setting the default<br />
<br />
* reporting bugs<br />

''discuss below''<br />
<br />
:The idea was to have inkscape check for ~/.inkscape/default.svg and open that for "run without any parameters", and if ~/.inkscape/default.svg were missing, to use the system wide default.svg given in doc/default.svg. Do this when inkscape is first installed, perhaps only opening on the first time use of inkscape, perhaps until the user changes their default document settings. This gives us the ability for users to start with their prefered document options (such as page size, colour, etc). --njh<br />
<br />
:I think the tutorial should come up only when called, not as the default document. As for default document settings, we almost have it already. It now works via the default namedview template in preferences.xml. It allows you to set paper size, color, border width & shadow, grid and guide options, plus zoom and center of view. As for easy setting, I think now the best approach is to add a "save as template" button in the Document Options dialog, now that I've collected all document options into one dialog. Ultimately, we'll need a support for multiple external templates and a "new for template" option, but for now the template in preferences.xml is good enough I think. So the logic is mostly there, except for the button, which should not be difficult to add. But you can edit your template in preferences already, and it may make sense to mention this in docs somewhere... but on the other hand, keyboard shortcuts are more important, and we still don't have them in the Help menu. --bb<br />

== Creating new tutorials ==<br />
Easy way: <br />
# Load up one of the existing tutorials<br />
# Replace its text and images with your own<br />
# Upload it to the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=93438&atid=604308 Patch Tracker]. Make SURE to click the "Upload and Attach a File" checkbox!<br />
<br />
Official way:<br />
# Create a DocBook XML file like the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/basic/tutorial-basic.xml?view=markup Basic Tutorial DocBook]<br />
# Follow directions in the tutorial directory [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/README?view=markup README] for formatting and handling of embedded non-SVG images<br />
# Create a subdirectory in the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/ doc-docbook] module and place the new tutorial docbook file there<br />
# Test tutorial generation using the `make-html`, `make-svg`, and `make-all` scripts<br />
# Announce the availability of the new tutorial<br />
<br />

=== A tutorial in progress of writing by John Griessen ===<br />
This writing is a journal of a project to recreate a business card originally made with Illutrator 7, after losing the original file, so the comparison to Illustrator is much from memory and not to be taken as the last word, but a guide as to how the programs compare.<br />
<br />
Attached is a PNG image of the printed business card:<br />
<br />
It originally was a collection of paths filled with colors and text objects with grouping to make replicating some objects easy. <br />
<br />
The shell command '$inkscape --version' tells us this is Inkscape 0.39cvs (July 2, 2004)<br />
<br />
The logo main element is a pseudo sine wave, and I made it before with grid snap and stretching and replicating, so now I set my units to mm and grid spacing and snap to 1 and remember how it would be nice to have major and minor grids instead of just one, so I want to create some vertical guides evenly spaced and cannot remember and start looking in docs. In Adobe Illustrator 7, clicking on the ruler bar created a guide, if I recall. Once created, it could be moved with grid snap like any object, so getting it on grid or off was easy. As I read around, I find the usage of guides in "Keys and Mouse" "drag off a ruler" is the way, and a guide is on the page, and I can't snap it to easily make the accurate secondary grid I had wanted. Is there a way to? I try duplicate on the guide, but alas, it is not a regular object. It cannot be selected as they are, so I cannot replicate guides to make other grids after all. Note for the beginner: To get bezier curves out of the line/bezier tool, you must click-drag. A click-only will give you only connected straight line segments. I'll have to use lines as guides.<br>[http://home.austin.rr.com/jgriessen/ill2ink-tut1.png http://home.austin.rr.com/jgriessen/ill2ink-tut1.png] [dead link]<br />

== Creating new tutorials ==<br />
Easy way: <br />
# Load up one of the existing tutorials<br />
# Replace its text and images with your own<br />
# Upload it to the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=93438&atid=604308 Patch Tracker]. Make SURE to click the "Upload and Attach a File" checkbox!<br />
<br />
Official way:<br />
# Create a DocBook XML file like the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/basic/tutorial-basic.xml?view=markup Basic Tutorial DocBook]<br />
# Follow directions in the tutorial directory [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/README?view=markup README] for formatting and handling of embedded non-SVG images<br />
# Create a subdirectory in the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/ doc-docbook] module and place the new tutorial docbook file there<br />
# Test tutorial generation using the `make-html`, `make-svg`, and `make-all` scripts<br />
# Announce the availability of the new tutorial<br />
<br />
== Tutorial ideas ==<br />
This section will consist of brainstorming and basic development of new tutorials that will be useful for new/old users.<br />

=== A tutorial in progress of writing by John Griessen ===<br />
This writing is a journal of a project to recreate a business card originally made with Illutrator 7, after losing the original file, so the comparison to Illustrator is much from memory and not to be taken as the last word, but a guide as to how the programs compare.<br />
<br />
Attached is a PNG image of the printed business card:<br />
<br />
It originally was a collection of paths filled with colors and text objects with grouping to make replicating some objects easy. <br />
<br />
The shell command '$inkscape --version' tells us this is Inkscape 0.39cvs (July 2, 2004)<br />
<br />
The logo main element is a pseudo sine wave, and I made it before with grid snap and stretching and replicating, so now I set my units to mm and grid spacing and snap to 1 and remember how it would be nice to have major and minor grids instead of just one, so I want to create some vertical guides evenly spaced and cannot remember and start looking in docs. In Adobe Illustrator 7, clicking on the ruler bar created a guide, if I recall. Once created, it could be moved with grid snap like any object, so getting it on grid or off was easy. As I read around, I find the usage of guides in "Keys and Mouse" "drag off a ruler" is the way, and a guide is on the page, and I can't snap it to easily make the accurate secondary grid I had wanted. Is there a way to? I try duplicate on the guide, but alas, it is not a regular object. It cannot be selected as they are, so I cannot replicate guides to make other grids after all. Note for the beginner: To get bezier curves out of the line/bezier tool, you must click-drag. A click-only will give you only connected straight line segments. I'll have to use lines as guides.<br>[http://home.austin.rr.com/jgriessen/ill2ink-tut1.png http://home.austin.rr.com/jgriessen/ill2ink-tut1.png] [dead link]<br />

<div>== Wiki maintenance ==<br />
Kris, I've noticed that you're spending an inordinate amount of effort blocking accounts of spammers and deleting their handiwork. Most of them are, no doubt, new accounts, and it's a good bet that many of them are perpetrated by the same bad actors who are logging in with temporary IP addresses that change every time they reboot their ADSL modem. I recently encountered an interesting technique to cut down on this type of activity at the OpenOffice.org wiki. (Sorry, you'll need to find the URL yourself, because a half-baked script on this wiki puked when I tried to save this message with a link to the relevant page.) They've implemented a "cooling-off period" for new accounts and have completely blocked editing by anonymous users. Anyone can create an account, but one must wait '''four days''' before making the first edit. If someone has a legitimate reason to be here, they'll make a note of it and come back when the waiting time has expired, but it may be a significant deterrent to hit-and-run spammers.

== Creating New Tutorials ==<br />
Easy way: <br />
# Load up one of the existing tutorials<br />
# Replace its text and images with your own<br />
# Upload it to the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=93438&atid=604308 Patch Tracker]. Make SURE to click the "Upload and Attach a File" checkbox!<br />
<br />
Official way:<br />
# Create a DocBook XML file like the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/basic/tutorial-basic.xml?view=markup Basic Tutorial DocBook]<br />
# Follow directions in the tutorial directory [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/README?view=markup README] for formatting and handling of embedded non-SVG images<br />
# Create a subdirectory in the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/ doc-docbook] module and place the new tutorial docbook file there<br />
# Test tutorial generation using the `make-html`, `make-svg`, and `make-all` scripts<br />
# Announce the availability of the new tutorial<br />
<br />

A tutorial in progress of writing by John Griessen<br />
<br />
This writing is a journal of how a project to recreate a business card originally <br />
made with Illutrator 7, after losing the original file, so the comparison to Illustrator is <br />
much from memory and not to be taken as the last word, but a guide as to how the programs compare.<br />
<br />
<br />
Attached is a png of the printed business card:<br />
<br />
It originally was a collection of paths filled with colors and text objects with grouping to<br />
make replicating some objects easy. <br />
<br />
The shell command '$inkscape --version' tells us this is Inkscape 0.39cvs (Jul 2 2004) .<br />
<br />
The logo main element is a pseudo sine wave, and I made it before with grid snap and stretching and replicating, so now I set my units to mm and grid spacing and snap to 1 and remember how it would be nice to have major and minor grids instead of just one, so I want to create some vertical guides evenly spaced and cannot remember and start looking in docs. In Illustrator 7, clicking on the ruler bar created a guide if I recall... Once created, it could be moved with grid snap like any object, so getting it on grid or off was easy. As I read around, I find the usage of guides in "Keys and Mouse" "drag off a ruler" is the way... and a guide is on the page, and I can't snap it to easily make the accurate secondary grid I had wanted....Is there a way to? I try duplicate on the guide, but alas, it is not a regular object... it cannot be selected as they are...so I cannot replicate guides to make other grids after all... note for the beginner, to get bezier curves out of the line/bezier tool, you must click-drag. A click-only will give you only connected straight line segments. I'll have to use lines as guides, <br />

== Creating New Tutorials ==<br />
Easy way: <br />
# Load up one of the existing tutorials<br />
# Replace its text and images with your own<br />
# Upload it to the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=93438&atid=604308 Patch Tracker]. Make SURE to click the "Upload and Attach a File" checkbox!<br />
<br />
Official way:<br />
# Create a DocBook XML file like the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/basic/tutorial-basic.xml?view=markup Basic Tutorial DocBook]<br />
# Follow directions in the tutorial directory [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/README?view=markup README] for formatting and handling of embedded non-SVG images<br />
# Create a subdirectory in the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/ doc-docbook] module and place the new tutorial docbook file there<br />
# Test tutorial generation using the `make-html`, `make-svg`, and `make-all` scripts<br />
# Announce the availability of the new tutorial<br />
<br />

A tutorial in progress of writing by John Griessen<br />
<br />
This writing is a journal of how a project to recreate a business card originally <br />
made with Illutrator 7, after losing the original file, so the comparison to Illustrator is <br />
much from memory and not to be taken as the last word, but a guide as to how the programs compare.<br />
<br />
<br />
Attached is a png of the printed business card:<br />
<br />
It originally was a collection of paths filled with colors and text objects with grouping to<br />
make replicating some objects easy. <br />
<br />
The shell command '$inkscape --version' tells us this is Inkscape 0.39cvs (Jul 2 2004) .<br />
<br />
The logo main element is a pseudo sine wave, and I made it before with grid snap and stretching and replicating, so now I set my units to mm and grid spacing and snap to 1 and remember how it would be nice to have major and minor grids instead of just one, so I want to create some vertical guides evenly spaced and cannot remember and start looking in docs. In Illustrator 7, clicking on the ruler bar created a guide if I recall... Once created, it could be moved with grid snap like any object, so getting it on grid or off was easy. As I read around, I find the usage of guides in "Keys and Mouse" "drag off a ruler" is the way... and a guide is on the page, and I can't snap it to easily make the accurate secondary grid I had wanted....Is there a way to? I try duplicate on the guide, but alas, it is not a regular object... it cannot be selected as they are...so I cannot replicate guides to make other grids after all... note for the beginner, to get bezier curves out of the line/bezier tool, you must click-drag. A click-only will give you only connected straight line segments. I'll have to use lines as guides, <br />

== Creating New Tutorials ==<br />
Easy way: <br />
# Load up one of the existing tutorials<br />
# Replace its text and images with your own<br />
# Upload it to the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=93438&atid=604308 Patch Tracker]. Make SURE to click the "Upload and Attach a File" checkbox!<br />
<br />
Official way:<br />
# Create a DocBook XML file like the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/basic/tutorial-basic.xml?view=markup Basic Tutorial DocBook]<br />
# Follow directions in the tutorial directory [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/README?view=markup README] for formatting and handling of embedded non-SVG images<br />
# Create a subdirectory in the [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/doc-docbook/trunk/ doc-docbook] module and place the new tutorial docbook file there<br />
# Test tutorial generation using the `make-html`, `make-svg`, and `make-all` scripts<br />
# Announce the availability of the new tutorial<br />
<br />
<br />

A tutorial in progress of writing by John Griessen<br />
<br />
This writing is a journal of how a project to recreate a business card originally <br />
made with Illutrator 7, after losing the original file, so the comparison to Illustrator is <br />
much from memory and not to be taken as the last word, but a guide as to how the programs compare.<br />
<br />
<br />
Attached is a png of the printed business card:<br />
<br />
It originally was a collection of paths filled with colors and text objects with grouping to<br />
make replicating some objects easy. <br />
<br />
The shell command '$inkscape --version' tells us this is Inkscape 0.39cvs (Jul 2 2004) .<br />
<br />
The logo main element is a pseudo sine wave, and I made it before with grid snap and stretching and replicating, so now I set my units to mm and grid spacing and snap to 1 and remember how it would be nice to have major and minor grids instead of just one, so I want to create some vertical guides evenly spaced and cannot remember and start looking in docs. In Illustrator 7, clicking on the ruler bar created a guide if I recall... Once created, it could be moved with grid snap like any object, so getting it on grid or off was easy. As I read around, I find the usage of guides in "Keys and Mouse" "drag off a ruler" is the way... and a guide is on the page, and I can't snap it to easily make the accurate secondary grid I had wanted....Is there a way to? I try duplicate on the guide, but alas, it is not a regular object... it cannot be selected as they are...so I cannot replicate guides to make other grids after all... note for the beginner, to get bezier curves out of the line/bezier tool, you must click-drag. A click-only will give you only connected straight line segments. I'll have to use lines as guides, <br />
