[Bug 171054] Re: PDF better under "Export" than "Save As"

2013-03-11 Thread David Mathog
The initial report here concerned the implicit action of "Save as" which is: and make all subsequent "Save" operations also write to this file and then discussion spun off into "Export" and a wholesale rearrangement of "Save" and "Save as...". Current versions of Inkscape have "Save a copy..."

[Bug 168164] Re: font sizes specified in pixels instead of points

2012-09-14 Thread David Mathog
There are some rounding errors in the font size display in r11664. Open the attached example file. 18.2pt is 22.75 px in the XML editor, but 18.1999 (plus or minus a few 9's) in the display. The fix would be for the bit of code that is displaying the point size, wherever that is, to do this:

Font size in the GUI should be displayed in whichever units the user wants, with the default being points and not pixels, as that is what 99% of all drawing programs use. However, there is no reason that the internal font size cannot remain in px. It only takes a tiny bit of GUI related code to c

Regarding #58, while I agree in principle with much of what you say the underlying problem on my systems, as described in the 2nd paragraph in #55 is that rpc.statd can enter a state where it seems to be working, but actually isn't. (The only way out is to force rpc.statd to restart.) Consequentl

In another limitation of upstart, or at least upstart is most likely responsible, the "recovery mode" boot hangs when in the /etc/fstab shown in #55 either /dev/sda6 is corrupt or there are network problems and the NFS mounts are not available. I guess using Mandriva spoiled me, because there boot

The changes in #8 did not work for me. /var is not mounted, it is just part of /, so the upstart's "mounted" test cannot be applied. The strangest thing about this whole mess is that, at least in my hands, rpc.statd can be in a state where to all outward appearances it is running normally ("stat
