Hi,
Hi Tav :-)
Here are some problems I see with an hour old 0.45-release-branchinstall (Fedora Core 6):
- Installation fails with error:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `about.bg.svg', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
See same problem with trunk.
My fault. I deleted it when I added teh new about, but I forgot to remove it from the makefiles. What is a bg? If we want an about.bg.svg, then I guess we need to find someone bg to make it. Otherwise it will just have to be removed from the makefiles.
Page format: Banner 468x60 is actually 60.0 x 468.0 px
Could not set custom page size (perhaps because of installation
problem).
- 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?
Y-axis flip was a goal for this release iirc, but I don't think it actually happened. Could the problem be that the objects have transforms and the effect ignores them? I think this is more likely.
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
no clue about those
** (inkscape:20971): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.
It has always done this. The tempfiles that inkscape saves to pass to effects don't have the *.svg extension. (This is for some security reason, I think pjrm explained it to me once a long time ago.) With out an extension inkscape guesses at the file format and prints a message. There are probably two ways to solve this problem. Add an svg extension. stop outputting a warning in this situation.
- 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.
dunno
The new path is also not closed.
Known problem with the overly simplistic path representations used by effects.
Perspective effect generates same error messages as Envelope effect.
Same deal. Inkscape is called with the query option from the script and prints the warning.
