Re: [Inkscape-devel] script for embedding raster images

Quoting Ben Crowell <inkscapecrowell04@...603...>:

The following patch to sp-image.cpp allows Inkscape to read Adobe Illustrator files that have the "data:;base64" syntax for embedded images. The embedded images are displayed correctly on the screen. However, if you save the file, the resulting svg output still has "data:;base64", which is obviously a Bad Thing.

I can take a look at things later tonight.

I've also been in that code recently, so I have some ideas on how it should get hooked in. Hopefully what I remember still applies. :-)

BTW, personally I think that even if a patch is tiny, you can go ahead and use Sourceforge's interface. If nothing else, it allows a nice way of tracking what goes in when and how.
