When I am importing .AI files this error message appears: ** (inkscape:9542): CRITICAL **: file document.cpp: line 511 (void sp_document_set_uri(SPDocument*, const gchar*)): assertion `document != NULL' failed
Pleas help, how can I solve it? I have thousand .AI files which I could open in 0.39. Is downgrade only one solution? (OS: Gentoo unstable, same expirience with self compiled inkscape 0.40cvs and 0.40 stable in Slackware current)
Thanks Martin Grohman
hi all
i've seen corel draw after a loooong time. it'd be nice if inkscape could do the extrusion and drop shadow effects. ok, extrusion is somewhat difficult, but the drop shadow is just another clone tool variation. it could even be handmade if the gradients could be of various shapes.
what do you think?
regards, bostjan

Not quite, because a drop shadow has to be blurred, and we can't blur vector objects yet. But this is doable via Make bitmap copy, I use it all the time:
Optionally, the exported bitmap can be processed by an external filter before it is imported. One such filter included with Inkscape is inkscape-shadow.sh in share/extensions/ which makes a grayscale blurred shadow for an object (requires Imagemagick). See inkscape-shadow.README for details.

Yes, It works, very nice. Could it be possible to have more this "plugins"? More scripts run with command, like "Make Bitmap Copy #n".

wouldn't it be better to include a posibillity to create non-linear and non-circular gradients, that is, gradients that start somewhere inside the object and end at its borders. not just because of drop shadow, but because it's a nice thing to do with vector graphics... or is it a svg limitation?

I'd really love to be able to do that. Circular gradients are sometimes very restricting. However, non elliptical/circular/linear gradients aren't part of the spec (see http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/pservers.html#RadialGradients). There might be a way to get the same sort of effect, but I'm not familiar enough with the spec to be able to tell you that.

From what I can tell the type of gradient you are talking about isn't available in most vector graphics editors, although I agree that it would be a nice option to have. One exception I know of is Macromedia Fireworks MX which refers to it as a "contour gradient". However, if this isn't part of the SVG spec is seems like it would probably be difficult to add this type of gradient to Inkscape.
