Inkscape crashes when converting svg to eps

Postby m2broth » Wed Apr 06, 2016 1:13 am

Hi all

We using the inskcape command line to convert svg file to eps.

Code: Select all

inkscape test.svg -E test.eps

The svg file contains masks (elements with tag "<mask>"). Inkscape crashes when converts to eps. When we remove masks from svg the inkscape converts correctly without errors. See attached svg file.

Hi m2broth,

thanks for reporting an error in the software with so much detail!
Could you search the Inkscape bug database over at launchpad for this issue?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape

If you can't find it, please create a new report where you report your findings, also add your Inkscape version and operating system to the info.

This being a user forum, not many developers come along, so bug reports won't get the attention they deserve here.
Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!
