This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at I just created a simple block diagram with Inkscape. To my disappointment, the created SVG wasn't rendered on Chrome, Firefox nor KDE default image viewer. Saving it as Plain SVG didn't help either. But when I selected everything, converted to path, and saved as SVG, it was rendered correctly.
I don't want to get into a fault-finding mode. I understand if Inkscape embed some specific runes into its SVG, but is this the way it's supposed to work? I mean, am I expected to do that final convert to path step before releasing the file to the wild?

Re: Other viewers don't render SVG created with Inkscape
Hi!
That converting is a good thing if you want to prevent any further editing of the file.
Other than that, some of inkscape's features are not rendered right in browsers. The flowed text is not part of the svg specs so it's not supported.
Also filtering have issues when the filter is transformed by a matrix -browsers won't render that usually.
However inkscape's goal is creating svg-s that are closest to the svg specification and which are rendered the same on all renderers.
Maybe if you share a sample file some may check if it can be helped.

I've attached a variant of the file that I was working with. The names have been changed to protect the guilty!

Re: Other viewers don't render SVG created with Inkscape
That one is quite easy to fix.
The page borders you switched off display the area that gets rendered by browsers as a viewbox.
All of the objects are out of it.
The attached file should work.

Argh, yes. I've been playing around with that file, and didn't realize I went off-road! It makes sense now. Thanks for trying out!
