Hi all,

when reporting bugs in the tracker, please ALWAYS:

- indicate the Inkscape version

- indicate the platform

- ATTACH THE FILE. Even if you think the file is "nothing special" and the bug is obvious. A file's worth a thousand words. It's often difficult to understand the bug explanations; attaching a file helps a lot. More often than not, reported bugs are already fixed in CVS; if you attach your file, a developer can quickly test it and close the report. WIthout the file and with unclear report text, a developer has to waste his time asking questions in the bug (which are not always answered, btw, especially in anonymous reports).

So please do us (developers) a favor and always attach the file with your problem. It's much better to attach an unneeded file than to fail to attach a needed one. There are other things you might do to help (such as a backtrace), but a test file is absolutely essential.

If Sourceforge won't let you attach a file (happens sometimes), post it on the web somewhere and attach a link in comments to the bug.

Thanks!
