Quirk in Cut Path Operation and SVG Dispaly in FF

Postby EarlyBlake » Tue Mar 17, 2009 9:34 pm

I ran into the cut path bug today and went to upload the file to lanchpad. The cut path lost some segments, but it also would not cut other segments. I uploaded the SVG to lanchpad, and I notice that only 2/3s of the svg is displayed in firefox. So I also uploaded it to petaimg. With the same results. IE just tries to down load the image not display it. (There is probably a setting to change, but I have used IE in to long...) Why is the first third of the image not showing displaying. I redown loaded the file form lanchpad and it's all there.

Three views One, before the cut. Two after the cut. Three with the line segments completely out side the box deleted.
PNG of the full image, the part before the cut is not displaying for me in the SVG format.

If I understand your message, there are 2 problems -- a bug with Inkscape's Cut Path, and a problem with how your sample images are being displayed after you upload to hosts?

As for the latter, I frequently have a similar problem with IE7, where the right 1/3 of the image isn't visible. For me, it's related to my 800 x 600 screen resolution. I can use the Zoom options in the bottom right corner, zoom out a little, and see the whole image. Granted it's then smaller, and sometimes harder to see :roll: Or sometimes the image is an active link to the full size, and I do see all of the full-sized version when I follow the link.

But since I use only IE, none of this applies to SVGs, since IE can't display SVGs. I downloaded something a while back (can't remember the name, at the moment) that is supposed to allow me to view SVGs. But what happens is that the image opens in Inkscape.

Well, this probably doesn't help you much, but I thought I'd offer it up anyway.
All best.

If you turn on your page border in Inkscape you'll see that the first image is outside of the page, that's why you don't see it in any SVG viewers.

Oh, and I can't explain why those lines behave oddly. Without examining the XML (which I wouldn't understand anyway) I question if those lines have an error in the way they are described. Note you can refine that example by breaking apart the egg and deleting all lines bar the dodgy ones--they behave badly on their own as a single line. I see that you had described how you created the lines on Launchpad, which is probably what the developers will be most interested in.

Oh, I did not know that, FF just displayed the page.

You don't know XML! I'm shattered. I don't don't really understand it either, but I'm shattered anyways. J/K I was mainly interested in why that part of the image wasn't dispalying. Now I can the page to drawing fix the uploaded image. At least I think you can re-upload anyways.
