SVG Export is Broken
Last modified: 2008-06-27 10:24:57 UTC
Please describe the problem: Attempting to export an image from dia produces a broken SVG file. Here is a screenshot of the SVG produced, opened from Inkscape: http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3791/brokensvgfk1.png Steps to reproduce: 1. Create image in Dia 2. Export image as SVG 3. Open SVG file in another program, and see what happens. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: Opening the exported SVG files in Konqueror causes it to eat up 100% CPU time as it draws each letter in the SVG, oversized, one at a time on top of each other. Konqueror becomes unresponsive at this point, and must be killed.
the file exported is still a valid SVG file so every program choking with 100% CPU deserves it's own bug report. But with current SVN it is much more difficult to export such a file for two reasons: 2008-04-26 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org> * plug-ins/python/Makefile.am : add allprops.py, remove diasvg_import.py from installed plug-ins 2008-05-02 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org> * lib/filter.[hc] : introduce the ability to influence guessing of import/export -filters. If one is marked as FILTER_DONT_GUESS it is only selected by the guessing if it is the only one registering a certain extension * lib/plug-in.h : increase DIA_PLUGIN_API_VERSION * plug-ins/python/diamodule.c : set FILTER_DONT_GUESS for all filters implemented in Python With the 0.96.1 you should be able to avoid it by explicit choosing of "Scaleable Vector Graphics" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 475978 ***
