Re: SVG import / export status ?
Hi Neil - OK then, looks like I'll have to wait... I have never
been able to use the autopackaged releases... perhaps just
something I need to install, but it has never worked on my
Linux... the bzip'd version is what I can use presently.
Good to know about the tar archive problem.
Here's hoping it isn't too much longer !

Thanks

Just so we have this clear, is ANYONE seeing problems where the svgfilter does not appear on the import type menus (we are not concerned right now about the offset problems, import failures etc.) who is using the AUTOPACKAGE version?
Also, is there anyone for whom the above works, using the TARBALL version?

That's a different problem to it not being installed (indeed it shows it is installed). I 'm hoping most of that's fixed in r1687 (certainly the offset bug).
We are aware that the SVGFilter is not yet complete.

Hi Alex,
I use the autopackage and the SVG import works using a simple svg image I created with inkscape. Simple Circle and rectangle with solid colour fills.

In FC5, using autopackage r1691, all works for importing simple SVG drawings, even the centering of it on the page. Good work, guys.

Re: SVG import / export status ?
I think r1691 should also fix the "mysterious missing SVGFilter" issue when using the tar.bz2 version.

Using the TARBALL version of rev. 1691 SVG shows up in the import menu but the import fails complaining that the file is not suitable for the chosen filter (SVG). SVG files are not recognized when trying to import using "All files"

Re: SVG import / export status ?
Jed are you using a simple drawing in SVG format or one of the Open Clipart Library files?

A filled circle created in Inkscape and saved as "Plain SVG." Although, I did try a couple of other files just for fun. I don't know if I can get much simpler. :)
Re: SVG import / export status ?
There are some comments on the developer mailing list, that Inkscape uses arcs to create circles/ellipses and the current svg import filter doesn't interprete arcs, right now.
It seems, the current implementation of the svg import filter supports only lines, rectangles, polylines and paths with flat fills.
