Diagonally striped pattern on svg country map[edit]
Hello guys,
I'm trying to fill countries with a diagonally striped pattern on a svg world map in this kind of style, however, just filling countries instead of regions would be fine. Colors should be able to be determined with the ability to create transparent stripes. There are instructions on how to entirely fill and circle countries, but the above feature is missing. Anyone here who could extend the instructions or comment? Would like to use this map outside of Wikipedia in case there are different rendering requirements.Commons is adding a background to PNG[edit]
I uploaded File:Povray logo sphere.png. It has an alpha channel and no visible background. When I view the image in [1] there is an added white background behind the image. How can I fix this? Thanks. SharkD Talk 00:52, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- There's nothing you can do about this, unfortunately. It's a new bug: phab:T198370. --El Grafo (talk) 08:02, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
SVG map needed[edit]
File File:Baltic-pipe-mapa-pogladowa.png showing graphics from https://www.baltic-pipe.eu/pl/o-projekcie/ was recently deleted due to copyrights of the underlying map. Can someone recreate the map using existing SGV maps like File:Regenbogen location map.svg + File:Poland location map.svg? A language independent version could be used by multiple articles in d:Q4852713. --Jarekt (talk) 17:44, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
SVG Translate tool revival and improvements[edit]
Hello! As requested in the Community wishlist survey, the SVG Translate tool is being revived and improved by the Community Tech team. I am the product manager for the project and am looking for input from people who work with SVGs on Commons/other projects and have experience with them. I have put together the project page for this project and I have some open questions on the talk page. I'd appreciate if you could take a few minutes to comment on them and point out anything I have missed. Thank you. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 17:57, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Gallery/metadata software[edit]
Question for all you Commons users out there - what sort of gallery software do you use on your machines? By gallery software I mean summarising your collection of photos by date, folder and metadata tags. Currently I use Windows Live Photo Gallery, but it's no longer supported by Microsoft and is rather creaking under the strain of 24MP photos. I also use Geosetter for geocoding.
What I need the software to be able to handle is:
- Hundreds of thousands of photos
- Large photos, eg 30MP and above
- Adding and removing keyword tags
- Adding and removing people tags
- Mass date adjustment
- Filtering by date, folder, tags, camera, etc
- Simple adjustments like rotating 90 degrees
Does anyone have any suggestions? -mattbuck (Talk) 16:25, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
