I confirm the file is empty and nothing can be done to save this file.

Maybe you can recover previous versions of your work ("hidden" in a temporary directory or "deleted") using tools such as photorec https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec bu there's no guarantee at all.

I'm not sure what you are asking for. Could you provide a sample image and tell us what's wrong with tracing it?
Maybe have a look at viewtopic.php?t=30972

Is it only me or is there some problem with

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=33238&start=25

some numbres are replaced with -- ?

and Bob's your uncle (I don't know what the French is for this idiom)! somethin like 'et voilà [c'est fait]' or 'le tour est joué' or both 'et voilà le tour est joué' Or '[c'était] du gâteau' (which is quite a literral translation of '[it was]piece of cake') more familiar you can use 'les doigts da...

I should have hammered him. Its tinymce post was valid but from its other posts it was quite obvious he 'll probably edit it to add spam sooner or later.
Now I'll be merciless. You're warned

What kind of filter are you applying ? Some filters (drop shadow...) need extra space around the image so that they can be applied. Some (inner shadow...) probably don't need these space but it is still there until you explicitly remove it. I don't have inkscape before me right now, but to remove it...

200mb is quite a -too- big size for a svg. What were you editing ?

For those asking, bordeaux is in France and yes the city is famous for its wine.

You right it looks like a general font issue with gtk (pango dll?) (and not only inkscape). It looks a bit like this one https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy/issues/60 Maybe you can set a defaut font in gtk ? https://forum.gtkd.org/groups/GtkD/thread/57/ But -if it ever worked- this wll probably o...

What happens when you insert some text in your document.
Is there a problem with all fonts ?

What are you trying to achieve ? Unless you're trying to do compositing/blending (=merging a set of svg with html ) on the clientside I don't see what is the problem. Taken as a whole a svg with its filters should display fine. Otherwise it is a bug in the browser. Caniuse says that support for mix-...

the vivus javascript library can animate your svg paths

Which operating system ? Which version of inkscape ? Look for a file named "dxf_input.py" somewhere on your drive. It seems that this file (=program) has been altered. You should be able to edit this file with any (decent) text editor. (You probably should avoid notepad) it -probably- shou...

You can't do a straight conversion from a jpg to dxf. There are two different type of files. Dxf is vector : it's made of (generally a few) circle, lines, rect and so on, while jpeg is bitmap : it's a -very very- large array of dots. You can try to vectorize your image (go from bitmap to vector) usi...

Are you sure there are jpeg ?
How large are they ?
Do they open fine in other app ?

This is what https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... ntTransfer is for.

But inkscape support for filters is really basic.
Don't expect a curve editor.

Below is an exemple of solarisation

for those interested two links that explain how the lines are drawn (= how to go from vector to bitmap world)

the aliased version
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham ... _algorithm

the antialiased version
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaolin_W ... _algorithm

AFAICT this is normal. Even if inkscape is a vector program, at the very end the image should be turned into a bitmap to be displayed on a screen. aliasing.png Inkscape (and 99% of vector program) will apply an antialiasing filter to smooth out the results. antialiasing.png Antialiasing could be avo...

This is caused by aliasing or rather antialiasing in this case. The image is a matrix of dot. You can't break down the dot and sometimes "mathematically" you face the problem of the color you should give to the dot : if the black line goes through the dot but it only fills 33% of the dot a...

> There is an open question about what to do when loading a file with existing filters. Ideally there would be an automatic layout algorithm to present a reasonable arrangement for the filter chain, but that's another tricky programming task. A layout algorithm that just prevents nodes sitting on to...

> and duplicating comes almost for free anyway. Right now it doesn't. The current editor is (was ?) very bad at duplicating nodes. I guess it messes with the id. There's no "start small" option, all the features described by Xav are the minimal core of a node editor (grouping). We can add ...

Maybe this http://svglayers.com/#svglayersVideo could be an answer to problems of layering

This can't be done in glade.
It needs a custom gtk component.
Maybe this https://github.com/GNOME/graph-gtk

@v1nce Thank you for your suggestion. Would there be anything specific that you would like to see changed? 'Sucks' and 'UI is bad' are very general descriptions. There's a wiki that is 7 years old of what the spec filter editor should be http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SpecFilterEditorUI an...

Filter editor sucks (buggy (id messing) and UI is really bad)
