JazzyNico's plans for 0.49

Tutorials

• Migrate from SVN to BZR. >Done (https://code.launchpad.net/inkscape-docs)
• Work on RTL languages (started with Persian files).
• Tutorials improvement.
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/440194, "Tutorial changes for 0.49"
• Compressed tutorials (still not sure it's really a good idea...).
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171531, "Compressed tutorials"

Translations

• Context refactoring. Old context strings (such as _(Context|String)) should be replaced with gettext C_() context macros. >Done revision 9722.
• Context support in extensions (the msgctxt attribute is not used at all in the C++ code).
• JessyInk python files translation.
• https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/597249 (make translations of key reference accessible from menu).

UI

• Extensions needs some consistency work (units, gnome HIG compliance...). >Fixed in revision 9754 (and some older ones...). (new group header parameter, boolean box and string are now the right order, fields don't resize vertically, etc.)
• Keys and mouse reference consistency check (Shift+Alt against Alt+Shift and other related things). >Fixed in revision 9723.
• Preferences dialog.
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/560751, "Inconsistency in naming sections in preferences".
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/259480, "Unweirdification of Preferences dialog's menu".
• Shortcuts improvement. Better keypad support.
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/167796, "zoom keys (shortcuts) 3,4,6 on numeric pad not working" >Partially fixed in revision 9688.
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/362040, "Control key + Numpad slash key does not divide" >Fixed in revision 9688.

Tutoring and related

• Help Binnette finish the New from template feature (and Save as Template dialog and menu).
• Help Centrale Lyon debug and integrate the Imagelink project.

Extensions

• XAML export
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/266909, "XAML export invalid because of empty transforms"
• Gimp XCF export
  • Fix some bug reports (see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&assignee_option=choose&field.assignee=jazzynico&field.tag=xcf) > 6 done (5 backported to 0.48.1 (revision 9660).
  • New "Save Background" option and help tab. >Committed rev 9703

Others

• Improve buildtool.cpp so that it handles checkouts and branches (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/628846).
• Uncommitted patch review. There are lots of patches which could be committed (new markers, shapes location rotation...).
• New custom drop-shadow filters (with color widget).
• Imagemagick bitmap crop (a bit hard for me, but interesting).
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/517082, "Request Crop images"
• New alignment features
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171944, "to exchange position of two objects" >Committed revision 9681.
