Drag & drop tab reordering

Hi,

Debian unstable recently upgraded to gtk 1.2.10, and this version
automatically lets bluefish reorder tabs.

The problem is that bluefish doesn't know the tabs are re-ordered when
you do this.
If you re-order tabs and then past some text (ctrl-v) the text ends up
in the wrong document.

It would be nice if this could be fixed, as it's an often requested feature.

Cya,
Hylke

finally got the time to try this on an Ubuntu laptop (which has gtk 
2.10), and it's fixed now.

Please ask on a Mac mailing list or newsgroup for problems installing a
package (that is fully unrelated to bluefish) on your system. I guess,
they can tell you, why it fails and how you can fix it.

It's possible, that a simple rebuild would fix that behaviour. 1.0.4 is
pretty old and I guess, many library packages have been updated during
time. Not sure, but AFAIK you are the first reporting such behaviour.

This sounds like a packaging bug/issue in your Fink package. You better
ask a Mac maintainer (e.g. look here:
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/bluefish or check the About
dialog of bluefish and try to contact Michèle Garoche).

Can you create a backtrace. Note: You must remove the -s option for the
install command in src/Makefile.in to avoid the binary being stripped.

You could try to build bluefish on your own:
- get the source-tarball (http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/download.html)
- install the necessary development packages/header files
(http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/manual/ch02.html) for your system
- configure and build the package (same section)

This one, can help you determining, which packages you need, to build
bluefish on your system:
http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/bluefish.info?revision=1.10&view=markup

If I understand the Fink pages correctly, then the 1.0.4 version is in
"stable" and the 1.0.6 version in "unstable". There might be

Sure, you can. You simply need to find out, to which locations files
were installed. Is there a file, that can examine Mac packages to tell
you? Otherwise, simply remove the package. Check for files left on your
system (they most probably contain the term "bluefish" in their name or
path). You could further move your .bluefish directory out of the way
and try a new, clean installation.

Many things sound like packaging issue, not real application bugs. If
you can get some help from a Fink maintainer, to determine, which is a
package and which an application bug, it would help you and us a lot.

Help with bluefish splash-screen: SVG <-> PNG differences

Hi,

This is for all, that know more about graphics than I do.

The current situation is, that we create raster images for the splash
screen from scalable vector graphics. We have at least two SVG files:
one for a two-char version number (current development branch) and one
with a 3 char version number (stable branch). Now what I would like to
do is: Move the .svg into a .svg.in and replace the text, that is the
version number, with  <at> VERSION <at>  and then process this file with
configure. configure will automatically replace the ' <at> VERSION <at> ' with the
real value. So we would always have a SVG graphics file with the real
version number and we can save the time and work to manually edit the
SVGs and create raster images, every time the version number changes.
The resulting SVG then can be loaded as splash screen instead of a
raster image.

I already got that to work, but the raster image (PNG) and scalable
vector graphics (SVG) look different - you can easily reproduce that by
simply looking
at
http://bluefish.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/bluefish/bluefish-gtk2/images/bluefish-splash-nb2.png?revision=1.1
and then open
http://bluefish.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/bluefish/bluefish-gtk2/images/bluefish-splash-nb2.svg?revision=1.1
in a graphics viewer.

You can see, that the "web development studio" writing is broaden in the
SVG and also the HTML code at the backgraound can be seen easier.

So my question: Is there some way to make the SVG look like the PNG? I
repeat, I don't know graphics (formats) very well. So sorry, if my
question is stupid or simple. Any answer/information is welcome.

Regards, Daniel
