Mystery Icons in 0.91?

Postby ragstian » Sun Feb 01, 2015 12:17 pm

Hi.

While editing the icons.svg file that came as part of 0.91 I "discovered" some new (to me at least) icons.
Anyone know where to find these functions in 0.91?
Pressing Keys and Mouse reference in Inkscape results in a "dead link" (404) error.
( Apologies in advance if this is a "known issue"! ) :)

Icon list:

These icons are not in use in regular builds - they belong to the "geom tool", a set of path effects to aid with geometric construction, which have their own tool and toolbar. The geom tool was never enabled in a stable release version.

See also this teaser.

(And yes, the new mouse and key reference file hasn't landed on the web server yet - work in progress)

Hi.

Thanks ~suv, no wonder you got a high "Karma" at launchpad.
What can we - regular users - do to help the developers team?

Hi.

The "teaser" was nice but one part of the thread worried me "the tool has been disabled in release versions on request of its author".
Does this mean that it will never be implemented? The posts are three to five years old - any progress since then?

A cad like feature has been very high on the wishlist for a lot of us, how do we manage to convey that message to "the powers to be"?
