Object menu > Filter Effects > crash

Postby brynn » Sun Jun 29, 2008 11:45 pm

Hi
Can anyone else use Object menu >Filter Effects? Every time I try, Inkscape crashes. I'm going to search over at Launchpad, while waiting for replies. Just trying to figure out if it's just me or if it's been reported.
Thanks :D

It's the first I've heard of it. It should definitely be working since it's one of the key features introduced in 0.46. You might like to try a fresh install of Inkscape.

Yeah, I didn't find anything about it at Launchpad.

Can you tell me what is the difference between Object menu > Filter Effects, and the Effects menu items? Because sometimes I get the same crash, same error message, when using various things in the Effects menu. There are so many choices in the Effects menu, that I haven't been able to narrow down whether it's happening with specific effects and not others, or if it's a random thing. But it's definitely the same error/crash.

Thanks for your help :D

Sounds like something is corrupted somewhere. ;) Nuke your current Inkscape install and download a fresh one.

If that doesn't work, it's something on your computer... :?
