png export fails in ubuntu 12.04

Postby ha1flosse » Sat Mar 26, 2016 4:31 am

hey, i've been updating inkscape to release 0.91 in ubuntu 12.04 via cmd - line (as described here: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/201 ... ntu-14-04/).

everything is fine except png - export. while clicking at the menu entry nothing happens, no export window is popping up and there is also no error message.

is there anybody with a clue about that? i've been using version 0.48 before updating and everything was allright. since version 0.91 is using cairo-libraries also for the png - export i am speculating this issue is related to cairo. do i have to update or add the cairo-libs separately to ubuntu?

ha1flosse, do you maybe see a minimized dialog (an icon) in your dock at the right?
Or did you never ever get the dialog even once?

hey moini, haven't recognized the export - tab/dialog at the left was already present, and if it is already present it won't fold out by clicking on the menu entry or the export - symbol so i got the impression nothing happens. that's why i was confused and your reply was a really helpful clue. many thanks and happy easter!

You're welcome ;)
(I've answered this question about fifty times now in the answers section at launchpad, you're not the only one who stumbles about the dock :) )

I'm just hoping someone will fix the issue with minimized dialogs not opening on trying to open them soon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1270295 - it really puts people off.
