Description Michael Biebl 2016-02-15 23:45:46 UTC

Version: 41.0.2

Commit fecfcce44a959daff80a4e0f9ced83d7cdcb5903 caused a regression.
It broke the behaviour of -w and -h. Before the commit, those parameters would scale the image, now it crops them.

The --zoom parameter seems to also be broken since 2.40.11. I reverted to 2.40.10 and it behaves correctly, that is

rsvg-convert -z 3 file.svg

where file is <svg width="100" height="100" ...>, will yield a 300x300px image.

Comment 2 Lukas Stabe 2016-05-20 05:43:58 UTC

This being broken is really unfortunate and the reason I can't upgrade. rsvg-convert used to the the simple solution for rendering svgs with a specific width/height without knowledge of the svgs internal dimensions. Now this is no longer possible.
