Hi, I have been going through the openclipart.org flag collection yesterday, cleaning up metadata etc. There is a couple of issues I would like to bring up which I noticed in this process.
The first thing is that images saved in sodipodi.svg/inkscape svg do not always render correctly with librsvg. I filed a bug with librsvg on this, but the reply I got is that this is caused by sodipodi/inkscape svg not being fully SVG compliant. Saving the flags with prolems as plain.svg made them all render correctly. Now the question is wether I should file these flags towards Inkscape as bugs, I assume so, as I think if we generate a file with .svg it should render nicely in all other SVG renderers? For some testfiles all the pirate flags in openclipart 0.10 misrender until resaved as plain svg. librsvg bug with some details here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166385
The second thing which I have brought up with Jon Cruz and Bryce already is that there is some difference in metadata handling between svg_annotate/svg_validate and Inkscape. Inkscape do not recognize keywords set by svg_annotate and svg_validate do not recognize titles set by Inkscape for instance.
Apart from these items, keep up the great work, Inkscape is really rocking!
