Hi all,
I wonder whether the file is formed in such a way that inkscape has a hard time with it?
Google Chrome's file dialog can preview the file instantly and then renders it within 3 seconds, wheres Inkscape hangs for minutes when trying to preview it or to open it.
What inkscape does successfully is, in a few minutes, to save it as PDF from the command line using the -A switch. Saving to PDF shrinks the file from the original 8 MB down to ~800 KB.
As a PDF Inkscape has no problem previewing it instantly, and opening it within 20 seconds or so. It's the only way I managed to open the file with inkscape.
Given that we generate this file ourselves from our own software ( github.com/acardona/CATMAID/), I would appreciate if someone could look at the SVG example file and let us know what would be best for Inkscape regarding formatting, choice of svg vs g elements, and styling.
Example files (original SVG and also the PDF as saved with inkscape -A):

Thank you.
