Filters Not Saved with PNG
I have created a graphic with multiple layers. One of the layers is some text. I have applied a drop shadow filter to the text. When I save the file as PNG, the drop shadow is not saved. I have also tried applying a gaussian blur to the text layer and to the text layer after converting it to an object. The blur is not applied.
How can I save the file as PNG with the drop shadow intact?

Make sure you are exporting as PNG. Do not 'Save As' Cairo PNG.
(I came across this a couple of days ago, and the symptom was that blur filters were not being applied. Also, the pixel dimensions of the two methods differ, if the graphic bleeds over the edge of the 'page').

Can someone tell me why we have a non-vector format in the save as list? One that seems redundant and apparently with less functionality than the normal export. Is this for testing purposes?

Yes, it was for testing the Cairo output. It was part of the GSoC project to do PDF output, and was easy enough to add, so we left it in for testing Cairo rendering. Now, is anyone using it for anything now? Bulia? I'd imagine at this point it's cruft.

It still can be useful for testing our cairo interfaces, because it uses basically the same renderer as PS or PDF exporter, but of course it must be hidden in the user-visible list. Is that possible? If not then it should be removed.
Hi, just playing with an asus eee pc 900, ubuntu 9.10 with Inkscape 0.47pre4 r22446, built Oct 14 2009, and would like to move the tool bar positions. I know it can be done in other design packages etc, but the screen is a tad small, and would like to see a little more of the page by moving some of the bars to the sides of the page etc. they seem to be locked? well they go up and down, but would like to go from landscape to a portrait positioning, and have looked through the preferences to no avail, and was wondering if its something simple to do?
many thanks Phil

Hi,
You've got good timing. I've started hacking in dynamic UI support in the trunk, and one of the three "tasks" I started with is "widescreen". Things are very much a work in progress, but if you can get a build from the recent sources you should already be able to get a good improvement on the usability.
I'm at linux.conf.au giving a talk on the development, but I've not quite gotten the screenshots for how that is looking done. Once some are set, I'll link to them so you can check it out.

Hi jon, Thanks for the info, ill take a look at getting the latest build for inkscape, and have a play. Would be great to see more of the design screen as im sure lots of users would agree.
also as a sideline, will the user workspace be able to export settings, so i could set up on another computer? I also use vista with a 17" widescreen but would love to have the same design environment if possible? And have a lil 12" ibook, OSX 10.4.11 PPC 1.2ghz, but assume the development of this particular branch is no longer being mass developed? As not seen a build on the site etc (same as gimp last stable is 2.6.6), but its ok, i still love my lil ibook.
Look forward to playin once i update etc, cheers phil
