Hi,
Here are some problems I see with an hour old 0.45-release-branch install (Fedora Core 6):
1. Installation fails with error:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `about.bg.svg', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
See same problem with trunk.
2. Page format: Banner 468x60 is actually 60.0 x 468.0 px
3. Could not set custom page size (perhaps because of installation problem).
3. Envelope (aka Summer's Night) effect seems broken (also broken in SVN and 0.44). The generated path is not inside the target quadrilateral. I seem to remember that the y-axis was flipped internally at some point... could this have broken it?
The effect also generates error messages of the following type:
** (inkscape:20971): WARNING **: Unimplemented style property SP_PROP_ENABLE_BACKGROUND: value: accumulate
** (inkscape:20971): WARNING **: Unimplemented style property SP_PROP_ENABLE_BACKGROUND: value: accumulate
** (inkscape:20971): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.
4. Perspective effect: The orientation of the output image is rotated 90 degrees from what I would have expected. Take two quadrilaterals with the first nodes in the paths at the upper left. When one quadrilateral is embed in the other, the embed quadrilateral's first node is at the upper right. The new path is also not closed.
Perspective effect generates same error messages as Envelope effect.
