It looks like Inkscape + libraries runs to about 9mb, not a small amount. I would actually advocate removing Gimp from the default install in Dapper+1. It's a highly technical app. I use it myself, but people who need it can install it. What most people want to do is crop and resize images before emailing them (which would make sense to have the email client take care of -- you are about to send a 2MB file; would you like to resize it?) KolourPaint has just the right amount of functionality IMO and F-Spot just needs resize (unless I've missed it). - Henrik -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

Re: Inkscape (was: Restoring the xsane menu item)
XSane is mandatory in menu. I can't understand why it has been removed. If it is deleted, there will be a VFAQ (Very Frequently Asked Question) in forums and lists. About Inkscape, it would be nice to include it. If Ubuntu includes a professional pixmap editor, it should include a professinal vector editor. Another application which could be include is Sound Coverter. Easy to use, based on gstreamer and programmed using pyton and libglade. It reads everything that gstreamer reads and write to ogg or flac -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
Human Yasis Icon Theme
Hi, I am new on this list, so please excuse me for not replying to an existing thread. Are any plans to add the Human Yasis Icon Theme to an Ubuntu repository? I've used this theme for a couple of weeks now and for me it fits almost perfectly to the Ubuntu Human design. Aside from the discussion about the default icon theme I think it would just nice if every user would be able to install this icon theme easily by using apt-get or synaptic instead of browsing through gnome-look.org I already tried to build a package of this theme for my own use [2]. Maybe some of you are interested to try it out. But it is the very first package that I ever created. If the package doesn't work correctly I would appreciate your feedback to learn more about building packages. Thanks, Jochen [1] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=33674 [2] http://www.jochenskulj.de/pub/hyasis-icon-theme.deb -- Jochen Skulj http://www.jochenskulj.de GPG Key-ID: 0x37B2F0B8 Finger Print: F239 5D8D 97CD F91F 9D08 AE94 AA3B 1ED5 37B2 F0B8 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

There was a bug in gnome-app-install that prevented it from appearing even there, but additionally I am interested if it could be the choice to "strenghten" the default application selection to vector graphics (SVG), especially as the graphics menu is rather empty currently. And inkscape is already in main. Despite the version number, Inkscape is both stable and feature-rich, and a worthy OSS competitor to CorelDraw, Illustrator etc. I'd guess most of http://www.openclipart.org/ SVG clip art has been made with Inkscape, though I could be wrong. -- Other things, that are post-dapper: - Audio or video tools would also be welcome (doesn't Mac OS X and/or Windows have bundled movie editing?) if nice enough tools appear. - Integrating Open Clipart to a nicely browseable (from OOo and other places) collection of clipart. This is a huge package and might be somehow offered as an easy download (perhaps even when selecting some "clip art" option in OOo insted of gnome-app-install). - Regarding Sample Content specification and the previous point, OOo templates would be very much needed too for ordinary users. -Timo -- http://www.iki.fi/tjyrinki/ -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

I agree, this definitely needs to be restored. No one is going to think of accessing GIMP to scan stuff.
